Not that I'm happy about lockout or anything, but thanks to it, I'm once again exited for the SM-Liiga season and have hopes for my team actually even winning some games.
Because on Saturday, it sure didn't look like it. At that point, we had lost two of our top defensemen, before the season even started. One to "mild" concussion, and the official

The injury count is a really worrying one, especially when taken into a count that the regular season has lasted for only a week. Somehow I'm having hard time buying that all the teams could mess-up their off-season training this bad. Maybe too many pre-season games taken maybe a bit too seriously?
Well, they sure scored last night :D
That they did. :D Too bad they couldn't keep it up in today's game as well. Have to say, I'd prefer them scoring three goals in two games each than six in one and zero in the next.
Okay, that wasn't fair, since the only point that can be said in their favor night in and out is that they haven't allowed themselves to be shutout so much as one so far. But the point still stands.

I hope so, too, I haven't seen Blues this season yet. They've started pretty well, only one OT loss. I'm hoping that people will actually come to see the games, because they're not a bad team at all (and even if they were, they still wouldn't deserve to be deserted by their fans). The team's done their part and hopefully the fans will show up to give the team the support they deserve. I wish I could go on Tuesday, too, but I've got someplace else to be that night. I'm definitely excited to see Jussi as well, and I'll be paying special attention to ( ... )
