Some news and notes covering the latest hockey news from across the blogs:
- SenSay: Cheech makes his move. With top line minutes, should be interesting to see how he responds.
- All Habs: Quick look at the Habs new monument. That’s a lot of history.
- The Hockey News: The homestand is about to begin. Let’s hope it goes better than the Western roadtrip.
- Maple Leafs Hot Stove: Keeping tabs on the kids. Wrap up of the mini Leafs.
- Thrashers: No slow start for Kovalchuk. As he goes, so do the Thrashers.
- Japers’ Rink: Some numbers behind the numbers. That top line has to start backchecking.
- Working the Corners: Heatley named #1 star and thoughts from his father. His dad drops some cliche lines but the Heatley move is really looking good for the Sharks.
- Hockey or Die: The Edmonton Oilers and their vaunted defensive depth. Harsh critique of the Oilers lack of depth. Warrented?
- Nucks Misconduct: All hail Henrik. With twin brother Daniel out, Henrik is going to have to play for both of them. Good news that he thinks he might be out only 3 weeks, instead of the 4-6 previously reported.
- Mile High Hockey: 5 games in. Looking at the positive and negatives for the Avs.
- Brodeur is a Fraud: Situation adjusted save percentage. Once again, very good analysis. In breaking down the numbers, this blog always does an excellent job.
- Behind the Net: Giveaways and takeaways. I find it interesting how different arenas completely differ in what they define as a giveaway or takeaway.
- Puck Daddy: Chelios in the AHL; Long road back or end of journey? I still thought he had some life left in his legs from the games I saw at the Joe last season.
- Hockey Analysis: The best team, a little money can buy. Pretty good team considering its close to the salary floor.
- NHL Fanhouse: Early season reactions. Good back and forth between Chris Botta and Kevin Schultz as they discuss some of the stories.
- Greatest Hockey Legends: Tretiak named Russian Olympic GM. Bet he could still handle the duties between the pipes.
- From the Rink: The reality of a return to Quebec City. Has enough changed to allow for this or is this just a pipe dream?
