Teams that are not in the playoffs

Brent Sutter’s resignation

Dany Heatley’s trade request

The Coyotes situation

  • Paul Waldie says Gary Bettman gained the upper-hand with yesterday’s news.
  • Some may think it is a victory for Bettman, but Bruce Arthur of the National Post thinks that the extra $100 million fee is definitely worth it.
  • The issue of relocation fees stole the spotlight at yesterday’s hearing, writes Carrie Watters of the Arizona Republic.
  • Kevin McGran of the Toronto Star runs down the possibile rulings that Judge Baum could hand down.
  • Here is a video of Scott Morrison with the latest on the story.
  • No wonder Judge Baum is stalling, explains Randy Turner of the Winnipeg Free Press.

AHL Calder Cup Final

  • Hershey played a strong game, but Cory Schneider shut the door, so the Moose and Bears are headed back to Winnipeg to play Game 6 on Friday.
  • The Moose have one person to thank for forcing a Game 6 and that is Cory Schneider, after the young netminder stole the show in Hershey last night.
  • Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun says that without Schneider, the Moose had no business being in yesterday’s contest.
