Illegal Curve Hockey

Hockey Hits: Hope Philly has insurance cause Gagne is coming home from camp, NHL is looking to buy the Coyotes and potential Russian No 1 draft choice doesn’t like provisions in KHL contract.

Some news and notes from around the blogs today:

CSN Philly: Gagne hurts hip and groin at Team Canada camp. The first player injured. Oh boy. Flyers brass isn’t going to be happy about this. Hope the insurance was paid.
Puck Daddy: Mark Messier discusses the classic Gary Coleman photo. Looking at that photo I thought it was Vanilla Ice from the Surreal Life.
T.O. Sports: Are most Toronto Maple Leaf fans a bunch of knuckleheads? I think they just have to be patient for Brian Burke to impliment his system.
From the Rink: The mood on Balsillie. He will take over as the actor for Dos Equis beer as the most interesting man in the world if he can pull this off.
On Frozen Pond: NHL makes bid for the Coyotes; Money meet Drain. Funny. Very odd that the NHL is getting involved in this manner. They must be worried about Jim Balsillie.
Melt Your Face Off: So much fail, so little time. I’ve made my fair share of spelling mistakes but it is a pretty bad one.
Black Dog Hate Skunks: Skewed perception and a trip to the communist bar. Oilers brass on the hot seat.
Nuckleheads: Possible conversation that will happen at the Canucks training camp. Kinda funny.
Slap Shot: Potential 2010 No.1 draft pick in Russian hockey kerfuffle. Good for him. Why should he sign a contract with that provision considering his status.
Stanley Cup of Chowder: Bruins foundation to host a “Happy Gilmore” swinging contest. Simply awesome. Here is my best Happy Gilmore performed at a buddy’s Stag.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
