Our live chat today shifts from 1 PM to 2 PM

             Call it a rain delay.

              Actually, we'll know more about waivers and thus be able to discuss rosters, lines, whether it was a mistake to waive Tim Kennedy, opening night, Derek Stepan, whatever. (I'm a size guy and think Dale Weise would be a better 13th forward.)

           Practice at 11, will check in from there....

           And remember to join the teeming rabble at twitter.com/stevezipay for real-time news and commentary throughout the season.
