News Is Slow

08/14/2018 at 9:00am EDT

It's a long, slow summer since early July regarding the hockey world and we probably have another four weeks of 'not much news out there'.

I do keep an eye on the 400 people or so I follow on Twitter but lately there has been more tweets on everything other than hockey.

I do follow many websites too, but unless you want lists of all sorts ranging from best sweaters, best players not in the Hockey Hall of Fame to players who could have a good or bad year, well the real news is just not out there.

I am used to this, after all, I have been doing this for around 15 years but this summer has seemed much slower than the past years.

One topic that pops up every so often is line combinations and many are coming from fans who are playing GM.

It happens in the summer, but I would only put my faith in a trusted bingo site to shake up the bingo balls. Other than that, what you are reading or hearing is make believe at this point.

For me personally, this time is used to re-charge and catchup on some movies I have missed the last few years.

But fear not, our game will return soon enough.

Prospect tournaments will start the first two weeks of September, videos will pop up of players working out in late August.

Yes, we will still read on Twitter about bad travel days, how a CFL team is doing, the MLB races, the NFL, college football, but we wait for the news we all want- that surrounding anything and everything in the NHL. Before you know it, hockey will be back.

Time will start moving quicker as the days get shorter, soon our beloved game will reappear.

Until then throw all the bingo balls in the blender all you want and pick out your best looking team sweater of all-time. Go for it have at it but look forward another month and the sounds of hockey will return.
