Nightly Hockey Hits: Savard close to signing 7 year deal, Crosby carries Olympic torch, drinking for charity, Draftwatch 2010, NHL’s next great rivalry, Top 10 KHL scorers
Word from around the blogs:
- Fire Wagon Hockey: Savard close to signing 7 year deal. Really good news for Bruins fans as they could definitely use his offense.
- Empty Netters: Crosby carries Olympic torch. Not sure why there was any protest over this.
- Lighthouse Hockey: Islanders 2009 vs. 2008: What a difference a year makes? Now if they could only get the arena built!!
- Blue Seat Blogs: Secondary scoring. Where have the Rangers role players gone?
- Bird Watchers Anonymous: Atlanta players getting it done outside the spotlight. Looks like Thrasher fans believe that Pavel Kubina is getting the most done with the least recognition.
- Sens Town: Drinking for Charity. I’ve never been a big wine drinker but it supports a good cause.
- Hitting the Post: Don’t give in. I have never understood the need to populate teams with players that are from that region.
- Morning Skate: Patrik Berglund says that he’s playing “too safe”. It looks like the entire Blues team has adopted that philosophy.
- NHL Fanhouse: Draftwatch 2010, Cam Fowler, the kid who said no to Notre Dame. Seems like a pretty good kid.
- Puck Update: Bettman selling something in Phoenix. It does smack of desperation.
- The Goalie Guild: Mask of the week. The amount of details put into goalie masks in today’s game is unbelievable.
- Dobber Hockey: Wingers 2009 fantasy Indicators of success. Pretty deep assessment.
- The Hockey News: Top 10 KHL scorers. If only Yashin would have produced like that while on the Island.
- Puck Daddy: NHL’s next great rivalry – Barry Trotz vs. arena game clock. I can understand his frustration.
- Greatest Hockey Legends: Player of the Decade. Very good list of the top ten players of the last decade by Joe.
Leksands Henrik Andersen who scores a nice goal and then has an even nicer celebration (not quite Alex Ovechkin):
