Afternoon Delight: Thirstday

• CBC Sports notes that the Flames and Oilers are chasing different goals. So that’s the Oilers’ problem.
• In goalie news, the Islanders have signed Wade Dubliewicz and Curtis Sanford cleared waivers. I am surprised a team didn’t take a chance on Sanford.
• Al Strachan’s thoughts on how the salary cap is affecting teams.
• This is a few days old, but an CBC has an interesting article about how demographics may affect hockey in Canada.
• Doug MacLean hands outs mid-season grades to the Canadian clubs.
• Goon’s World previews the weekend WCHA matchups.
• Brian Burke will look to sign some college free agents, according to a report on The Score. Lots of good, mature players available out there.
