It is almost here!  Back for a second time, albeit three weeks later than last summer, the second time around hopes to be as popular as last summer's initial go-round.

The Tampa Bay Lightning are back to defend their title, after defeating the LA Kings in a Round Robin Finale that few people would have expected.  This edition of the Classic promises to be much more challenging, as teams involved have ramped up for the occassion, with at least half of the group strong candidates to caoture bragging rights.

Will one of the favorites take this year's crown, or wil another upstart team get through the gauntlet of round-robin action on top?  We are about to find out starting on Saturday, as Day 1 of the Round Robin phase kicks off.
