Hey, y'all.  The NHL qualifying round is almost upon us.  The Flames and Oilers played a spirited exhibition game which has somehow left us with more questions than answers.  Talbot or Rittich?  Does Jankowski play?  Are the Flames D going to be able to deal with the Jets' speed up front?

It's all too much.  Hockey is back and I feel like my old self again. Neurotic, paranoid, totally inadequate, completely insecure. It's a pleasure.
