No games

If you're able to catch any of these games, feel free to leave some thoughts in the comments. There's 32 games, and they start bright and early from my part of the world. I realize the NHL's preseason schedule officially begins tomorrow, but if you want to catch a game before the puck drops on those, here's the place to talk about it.
