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.
