musicman asked what I thought (and knowing what a fan he is I was kinda surprised to read his last post above but I agree) . . . it just feels more "natural" to have it back again (albeit it's weird that we're talking hockey during a heat wave).

One guy on talk radio said something like, "It's like if an ex-girlfriend wanted to get back together. It'd take me a while but I'd probably warm up to her again."

I don't know if I'll be going to watch any games this year because I'm not rich but it is great news for Toronto. The restaurants and other such industries suffered this year.
