It's Tuesday, which means...

absolutely nothing's going on. So, in order to kill some time in between tomorrow night's World Series opener and the Flyers-Sharks game, let's take a look at some other hockey news:

- Perhaps the most interesting news today came out of The Globe and Mail, who reported that the NHL Board of Governors met informally and discussed the possibility of placing a second team in Toronto. (Side note: how exactly do the Board of Governors meet informally? What, did they run into each other at Dunkin' Donuts or something? "Hey, here to get some coffee?" "You bet! Say, why don't we put another team in Toronto?" "Another one? I didn't know they had a first one! HAR HAR HAR!!!") Anyway, the story goes on to say that RIM CEO Jim Balsillie, who wanted to move the Predators to Hamilton, may get an expansion team for southern Ontario; however, one governor is quoted as saying that expansion would make the NHL "the laughingstock of professional sports". I think if New York and Los Angeles can support multiple NHL teams, Toronto shouldn't have a problem whatsoever. I'm sure the Leafs will still sell out their games without losing too many fans.

- The Flyers announced that their game against New Jersey on Saturday will be rescheduled for 4:00 to loosen congestion down at the Sports Complex. Besides hosting an NHL game, an NFL game, and games 3 and 4 of the World Series, the Sports Complex will also have Celtic Thunder and The Who performing this weekend. Three words for all of you planning on attending: TAKE. THE. TRAIN.

- Steve Downie was sent to the Phantoms this week to make way for Andreas Nodl. Downie hasn't really been contributing all that much this season (the same can be said for a lot of players), so hopefully he can get back on track in the minors.

Let's see, what else...

- Marian Gaborik looks to be on the way out in Minnesota...Sean Avery returned to New York last night with Dallas, with the Stars winning 2-1. Apparently, Rangers fans booed him, but I'm sure they were just booing the uniform. After all, who could boo Sean Avery? That's sarcasm for all you humor-challenged out there...According to NHL.com, my CenterIce Online account should have been automatically activated on October 14. As of yet, it has not. Strike one, Mr. Bettman...

- Finally, I'd like to welcome the Mississippi Sea Wolves of the ECHL as the newest affiliate for the Flyers. The Sea Wolves are based in Biloxi, won the Kelly Cup in 1999 under current Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau, and will start their season on the 24th against the Charlotte Checkers. I guess if you're going to get demoted in the NHL, Biloxi's not a bad place to be. You got the Gulf, casinos, beaches. I'll be keeping an eye on the Sea Wolves.

- Last but not least, everyone and their brother is picking the Tampa Bay Rays to win the World Series. We're the underdogs to Tampa Bay. Phils in six.
