It’s a great time of year for sports fans. The MLB playoffs are heating up, the NFL is underway, and last week the NHL season kicked off. Being a big hockey fan myself along with some of the bands I’ve interviewed, we have members of two bands who eat, sleep, and breathe hockey to tell us who they think is going to be the best in the league this year.
Our two guest writers, Thomas Williams, guitarist of Stray From The Path, Kelen Capener, bassist of The Story So Far, along with myself chime in our thoughts on who we think will end up where in the Eastern and Western Conferences in the NHL for the 2011-2012 season that kicked off this past Thursday night.
