Today is July 1, a day where Canadian hockey fans of sufficient devotion take time out of our holiday to watch NHL teams make horrifying mistakes signing free agents to huge contracts. Every once in a while, the signing is one we cheer for with all out hearts.
This year is different. The most different year in NHL history. Maybe for a lot of us, the most different year of our lives.
Anyway, you get the idea. The magnitude of what NHL/NHLPA are trying to pull off here in a tight time frame is absolutely unprecedented.
