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.
