Some news and notes from around the blogs today:
- Puck Daddy: Can the NJ Devils sell tickets by dissing the Nets? Always smart to rev up state pride.
- T.O. Sports: Burke and Wilson are neglecting the Leafs in Olympic proportions. I think Leaf fans have to be patient (they’ve waited 42 years, what is a few more).
- Doen Goes Brown: Win a copy of the 2009/10 Leafs annual. If you are interested in all things Leafs, then check this out. Lots of links to Leaf bloggers.
- Crash the Crease: Truth, Justice and John Tavares. I don’t think expectations are too high just yet so even if he doesn’t have a giant season, the lynch mob will likely hold off for at least one season.
- Japers’ Rink: Anton Gustafsson has great hockey sense, terrific hands and, above all, the eye of the tiger. And a fancy red jumpsuit to match. I kept thinking Bodysuit man, Bodysuit man from Seinfeld. But who doesn’t love listening to Eye of the Tiger?
- Dobber Hockey: Questions surrounding some of the veteran goalies in the NHL. As I said the other day, I think Nabakov is going to be stellar in the playoffs.
- Puck Update: Wilson: ‘I can save my job or I can save my team, but I can’t do both!’ He needed to do some radical things to get this team out of its lethargy.
- Working the Corners: Sharks GM: “Patrick Marleau has not been asked to waive his no-trade clause”. I still think he can be effective for them this season but it seems like Sharks fans might be losing faith.
- Tom Benjamin Canucks Blogs: The Heatley soap opera. I’m not sure how this situation is going to get resolved anytime soon.
- Melt Your Face Off: Some Dany Heatley hockey haiku. If you are a Rangers fan it should bring a smile to your face.
- The Cult of Hockey: Will we ever know how Heatley-to-Edmonton came together and fell apart? Never. Total He said/She said.
- On Frozen Blog: Who is the best minor hockey team in the minor’s? Plus they give you tons of free chocolate.
- New York Rangers Blog: Ranger prospects are listening to Tortorella. Would you want to anger him?
- Raw Charge: Rumours of Barrie’s demise have been exaggerated. While perhaps exaggerated it appears inevitable that this situation will be resolved quickly, one way or another.
