The NHL season is now in full swing — and though the ride has been a little bumpy the new season has brought some new or upgraded hockey web sites and game coverage.

Things are getting a little old and dusty around here as a result of me being quite busy with work as well as contributing more elsewhere on sites like flickr, ma.gnolia and newsvine.

To honor its crusty-ness I’ve aged the site’s color palette some, like a fine, aged, um, newspaper? Enjoy.

Its déjà vu all over again.

The Rangers defenseman Michal Rozsival scores on the first shot on goal of the NHL season just 37 seconds into the game.

Last season Jaromir Jagr scored a goal on the first shot of the 2006-2007 season.

Not to be missed, off season acquisition Chris Drury getting his first point as a Ranger with an assist on the Rozy goal.

Its great to have hockey back.

I saw the first signs of something being wrong from my seat on a NJ Transit train into Hoboken. Though I did make it to that stop, by the time I did they had shut down all the train service and other public transportation both in to Manhattan and out of Hoboken.
