Afternoon Delight (Wednesday Edition): Getting serious about head shots

Some late afternoon news for your reading pleasure:

• These numbers prove that hockey is king in Canadian television ratings.  Really amazing but not surprising.  It’s hockey and everything else in Canada and the numbers reflect that. 
• Pierre Lebrun gives us the update on Mark Messier and Igor Larionov’s life.  Two of the best ever still keeping themselves involved in the game of hockey.
• Kevin Allen interviews Keith Primeau on the topics of head shots.  Let’s be real, if the NHL was overly concerned with head shots, the suspensions would be a lot more stiff than they have been.
• Tom Benjamin chimes in on the latest NHLPA news revolving around Ian Penny.  It just keeps getting uglier for the NHLPA.
• Here is a good post up at The Hock Project about the true NHL standings without overtime losses.  Wish they never went to the overtime loss format in the first place.
