Withdrawal Quick Fix?

Ugh. Late July. The whirlwind that is unrestricted free agency is for the most part over. And in terms of hockey withdrawal, one is stuck reading inane trade proposals, rumors that range from the merely ridiculous to utterly and absolutely outlandish. One could also be stuck debating which second or third-tier prospect might somehow be ready for regular NHL duty in the fall with, of course, no actual tangible proof in the form of competing against NHL players to back up these at best silly and at worst patently absurd musings.

So in the midst of withdrawal that spawns insane rantings, what is one to do? Look no further than google video. Credit the NHL for this, at least: The NHL knows more people need to enjoy the on-ice product, and thus the preponderance of game-action videos on you tube and google video.

The best classic withdrawal cure I've found so far is this gem. Beautiful.

Still the greatest comeback win of all time, in my opinion, with the historical caveat that I was nine years old at the time of that win, so my historical perspective, indeed, is limited.

For those in need of more recent comeback hopes, try this one.

Hopefully next year we get to enjoy more than just one when it matters most.
