Game day at Portland

I've managed to wrestle away this slower-than-hell computer with dial-up internet to try to get a post together.  Just don't expect much, I just don't have the patience.  (#firstworldproblems)


Anywhoooo, the boys are back and in the Rose Garden tonight.  I'm gonna be there so I wasn't planning on a liveblog, but the masses have spoken, Spokant will be running the liveblogging goodness this evening.  Rene Ferran has a good bit on the Ams getting back to work here.  The Herald's piece right here. 


The Winterhawks acquired Craig Cunningham this morning from Vancouver "in exchange for forwards Spencer Bennett, Teal Burns, a first round pick in the 2011 Bantam Draft and a second round pick in the 2012 Bantam Draft."  (WHL)  As if the 'Hawks needed more depth.  They might actually be unstoppable at this point.  And no, I don't believe Carter Ashton is going to save the day.  Yes, he's great acquisition, but hooooooboy is Portland good.  Sure makes for some hockey though, eh?  It's going to be interesting to see how it all shakes out, that's for sure.
