News from the Blogs;

  • Iceman:  How you gonna keep Kane down on the farm?  You can’t.  I think he has shown that he has what it takes to play in the NHL.
  • The Hockey News:  Canadian Prime Minister Harper attends commemorative Habs stamp unveiling.  What he won’t do to get votes in Quebec. (kidding).  The Prime Minister is a very big hockey fan.

  • Maple Leafs Hot Stove:  What ails them and hope.  Have to agree with his assessment, it is still too early to panic, especially given that this isn’t a one year re-build.
  • Fire Wagon Hockey:  The B’s took out Big D and look to be back.  Like the strong play of Thomas.
  • The Willful Caboose:  Cautiously optimistic.  It sure looks like Tyler Myers is going to be bringing excitment to fans in Buffalo for many years.
  • NYI Point Blank:  No skate…Skelos supports…is tonight the night?  Lots doing on Long Island and while I don’t think they will be getting their first win tonight, I do think its good news that the Lighthouse Project is getting some key political support.
  • CBC:  Is Mark Messier behind Rangers’ early success?  While I think a lot has to do with coach Tortorella getting the most out of them, it probably can’t hurt to have someone like Messier around to help out when needed.

  • Snapshots:  Chelios remains the Wings NHLPA rep.  Interesting show of respect from the Wings to keep him in the loop.
  • Behind the Net:  The new Anaheim Ducks without defence.  Another quality post.
  • Lowetide: Quality farm products.  Lots of good players down on the farm.
  • L.A. Kings Insider:  Mirror image?  It is true that they both have developed similar, if only J. Quick could turn into S. Mason.
  • Working the Corners:  Vesce up, Zalewski down — plus the joy of getting to Nassau Coliseum.  Expect the Sharks to continue to roll tonight.
  • Tom Benjamin’s NHL Blog:  The numbers and Pat Quinn.  Hard to argue with that.
  • Canucks Hockey Blog:  The missing twin.  Who is going to fill that supporting role?

  • T.O. Sports:  Top 10 things wrong with the NHL.  Number six is a tough one as I loved the Canada Cup but do appreciate the Olympics as well.
