Interest in the NHL season peaks today, as teams race to make deals in advance of the annual trade deadline (3:00 PM EST).
Everything that follows - the stretch run, the playoffs, the final drive to the Stanley Cup - won't generate nearly as much interest as today's frenzied exchange of bodies and draft picks.
For thousands of fans, the maniacal pursuit of NHL trade rumors - hockey's version of celebrity gossip - is a sport in itself.
In an era when significant trades are few and far between, the deadline is about the only time when rumor and reality are sure to collide.
History suggests that today's flurry of activity will have almost no impact on the NHL's balance of power.
But trade rumor junkies have never been the type to let reality spoil the fun.
TSN.ca is a reliable site for breaking news. But Puck Daddy is the more entertaining read.
