Return of Brass Bonanza?

On Wednesday morning, Hartford Mayor Eddie Perez met with NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman at NHL Headquarters in Manhattan to update the commissioner on the status of Hartford's plans for a new arena in the city. In a release from the mayor, Perez said, "Today's meeting with Commissioner Bettman was an excellent opportunity to let him know that Hartford remains interested in bringing the NHL back to Connecticut's Capital City."

If this doesn't make you hot in the pants I don't know what will. The ghost of Ron Francis is certainly shining down upon us. Oh, He's not dead? Let me put it this way, the civic center might be the only arena that would still hold the banners and retired jersey numbers of the team that did the citizens of Connecticut so dirty by moving to the Carolina's in the middle of the night. We're like Jennifer Anniston begging for that Brad Pitt character back. Maybe we are Audrina and we just can't let go the whalers or in this case, Justin Bobby? Anyway, first player we sign is Sean Avery. If any fucker knows shit about second chances it's him. Or dare I say, sloppy seconds? Eeassyyyy now.
