Afternoon Delight: Huckleberry Friend

  • Meet the other John Tavares. If you haven’t already, check out the NHL’s dedicated draft page. Lots of reading there to keep people entertained.
  • The science of the wrist shot. (H/T to Kukla) Pretty deep for a hockey blog, I know.
  • Adam Proteau comments on the selective discipline of the NHL. Consider it a makeup call for the two non-penalty shots.
  • The Ottawa Senators draft preview from Coming Down the Pipe.
  • 10 Observations from Ian Mendes.
  • Puck Daddy comments on the montage CBC aired before Game 1. I really liked it, while AK did not. She may have also called me gay for liking it. Not that there’s anything wrong with that…
  • A couple of links from One Timers and Deflections, including a hockey cartoon and the 3rd jersey concept for the Lightning. I like the jers…I mean sweater.
