Afternoon Delight

Afternoon Delight: Draft Over

  • The weekly Hot List from The Hockey News and a good article about the NHL discipline system (or lack thereof). Aaron Ward’s press conference made it all worthwhile.
  • Speaking of the NHL’s failings, which genius scheduled tonight’s Game 7’s an hour apart? I suppose having them start at the same time wasn’t an available option?
  • Gare Joyce says the CHL got it right when it returned the Memorial Cup to a junior-sized venue.
  • Fanhouse with a post on why the NHL will always be a fringe league in the United States. Maybe if they scheduled two exciting Game 7’s at the same time on the same night…wait, what?
  • Greatest Hockey Legends takes a look at the greatest beards of playoff yore. No mention of Katie Holmes, which seems like an egregious error.
  • Guy Flaming breaks down the Memorial Cup goalies over at The Pipeline Show.
  • In perusing the greatest hits over at Barry Melrose Rocks, I found this post chronicling the survivors of EA Sports’ NHL 94. I scored many a hat-trick with Shjon Podein….(thats what she said?)
