My apologies for the lack of updates. IC will be back up and running smoothly this week. Here are some of the most recent stories circulating the blogs;
- Cult of Hockey: JDD, Visnovsky shine as other Oilers fade (player grades, Vancouver 2 vs. Edmonton 0). Sounds like the best news for Edmonton was the play of the backup goalie.
- Puck Daddy: Scuderi’s hip check sends Chimera skates over head. Doesn’t sound like Chimera is very happy with Scuderi.
- The Hockey News: Avs should properly honor retired Nordiques numbers. Seems like Colorado is forgetting their roots.
- Natural Hat Trick Productions: Why we root for the Phoenix Coyotes. …While I agree with the idea for those who are fans of the team, it’s time for folks in Arizona to start attending the games.
- NHL Fanhouse: Former player criticizes Leafs coach Ron Wilson. Wow, couldn’t they have found someone whose played for him this decade? That’s a pretty funny headline in the context of having not played for the guy for 15 years.
- Hub Hockey: Tim Thomas with the save of the year. Seems like every week we see a new “save of the year” but as John Davidson likes to say “oh baby”.
- Greatest Hockey Legends: Hitting The Post With Habs Stamps. What’s a stamp? While I’m not of the generation who doesn’t know anything other than email and despite not mailing anything anymore, I like the idea of these commemorative stamps.
- Brodeur is a Fraud: Are shootouts an indicator of skill? I will take Luongo and Brodeur and their slightly above average skill at the shootout to have them available for playoffs.
- Deadspin: Is it time for the “Is Hockey Too Violent” debate already? I don’t think it is. IC readers?
- From the Rink: Team Canada goes green for WJC. I’m all for going “green” but not a fan of that shade. Wasn’t neon green available?
