The NHL is Back

With another NHL season underway roll up your sleeves because the hard-hitting has begun. One year removed from a tough lockout recovery season the Carolina Hurricanes may be poised for another run at the cup. But the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim are looking like legitimate contenders. After a flurry of off-season moves, Helene Elliot, who covers the NHL for the Los Angeles Times, tells us if hockey's most loyal fans can carry the burden of another season.

And yet, Blue Devils fans are willing to camp out all night just for the right to be entered in a season ticket lottery.
