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.
