As you can probably tell, I didn’t post the papers this morning (I was due for some sleep), so instead I’ve decided to pass along some interesting reads for this Sunday the 30th of November:

Apparently the KHL is having a myriad of financial problems. This certainly doesn’t surprise me.
Here is some news on Mats Sundin and Brendan Shanahan from Pierre Lebrun. Seems like things are finally getting closer to getting done.
Stan Fischler’s weekly NHL roundup. Always enjoy the maven’s work.
It looks like Alexander Semin will still be out of the Capitals line-up for a while. Not good news for Caps fans.
If you are betting on the Panthers/Rangers game, take the Rangers -0.5–literally. The accuscore is generally accurate because it most often predicts the Panthers to lose.
Kevin Paul Dupont examines what makes the Bruins tick. Impressive win last night.
The Wild aren’t anti-American, writes Michael Russo. Good piece by Russo.
Larry Brooks thinks the NHL should ban fighting. I don’t agree at all. Sure these guys are big, but they opt to fight and it should be their choice.
Here are 13 things to know about Brian Burke. Brian Burke got hired by the Leafs? That sure came out of nowhere!
Rumors galore from Bruce Garroich of the Ottawa Sun. I know readers love trade rumors.
