I guess I'll be following more intently this year, starting tonight.
I don't have a TV right now, so I'll be watching the games on the radio for now.
Let's Go, reigning NHL MVP!

The Star-Spangled Banner is playing right now, so I guess game time is imminent.

jet.... sometimes the best hockey is seen on radio!
try:
AM640 - Home of the Leafs
but to attend to your point on the season:
The 2009–10 NHL season will be the 92nd season of the National Hockey League (NHL) and the 100th season since the founding of the predecessor National Hockey Association (NHA). It will run from October 1, 2009 with four games in Europe, until April 12, 2010, with the Stanley Cup playoffs to follow, all the way up to early June 2010. A mid-season break from February 15 to February 28 will occur to allow participation of NHL players in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Because of the Winter Olympics break there will be no NHL All-Star Game for 2010.

There are 82 games in a season, then the playoffs.
The currrent MVP (winner in the 2008 - 2009 season) is Alexander Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals. He has won it twice in a row, and is therefor the 83rd & 84th winner. You really should catch a Capitals game to see him in action.
