USA Today:  NHL needs to work as hard to keep Thrashers as it did for Coyotes.    Good read from Kevin Allen.

TSN:  Jets MeterTakes a massive 5 point leap from 28 to 33.

Atlanta Journal Constitution:  Unclear if Atlanta Spirit, True North in negotiationsIf the Levenson interview wasn’t clear that there is nobody with which the ASG is locally negotiating, I’m not sure what is.

National Post:  NHL hopes spring eternal in WinnipegEvery time you think that people in Winnipeg are fed up of this broken record, they request the DJ play that song one more time.

TSN:  Thrashers co-owner Levenson discusses future in AtlantaAfter watching the video (posted below as today’s video of the day) interview it is no wonder that the fans in Atlanta are as disenfranchised as they are.

Toronto Sun:  Puck fans duped by teen’s Twitter hoaxWhich is why you should take any news that is getting reported as “fact” on the twitter-verse as suspect, unless of course you’re reading the info from @illegalcurveFor those who don’t use twitter here is the tweet that caused the big stir:

Arizona Republic:  Coyotes saga needs quick resolutionI don’t see this situation resolving anytime soon.

ESPN:  NHL commissioner Gary Bettman refutes relocation talk. He does make a good point about the lack of accountability for people who make grand statements but don’t feel any repercussions for the excitement/disappointment their comments elicit.
