Here is tonight’s word from around the blogs:
- Five for Howling: A night in the life of a Coyotes season ticket holder. Excellent insight from a Yotes ticket holder. If there were only more of this type of fan (in Phoenix and other cities) the NHL would be able to call itself part of the Big 4 (and not have people snicker).
- Matchsticks & Gasoline: What to like about the Flames so far. Looks like Calgary fans are leaning towards Rene Borque although Miika Kipursoff is getting some love.
- Lowetide: Right on Reddox. Always nice to see a guy who has a number of detractors, succeed despite those who would assert that he doesn’t have the ability.
- Ms. Conduct: Hot and bothered, plus some Clutterbutter to spread on your Monday. Some really good mustaches on this team so far.
- NHL Fanhouse: Turning around the Hurricanes. Amazing how far this team has fallen since last season’s Conference finals.
- The Hockey News: Ovechkin skates, says ‘joking’ led to report of extended absence. Always the joker, it appears he was trying to scare the public with his 4-5 weeks prediction the other day.
- Lions in Winter: Price of being a Twit. Pretty good assessment of the entire situation. For good hockey tweeting follow Illegalcurve on Twitter).
- Faceoff Factor: What to do, what to do? Are the Penguins facing a Habs type situation on defence?
- Beyond the Blueshirts: Arnason suspended. Quite a fall from grace for the former Hawk/Sen/Av & Ranger.
- Puck Daddy: 2009 Hockey Hall of Fame inductions. What a class of players!!
- Dobber Hockey: From survival to revival. Some pretty good insight on what is happening with the various goalies across the league.
- T.O. Sports: 10 worst offseason signings of 2009-10. Still early and I think some of these guys will turn it around, but a pretty accurate list.
- Hockeyjackass: 10 most overpaid players. No big surprises on this list. He makes a good point about 4 of the 10 being Sather contracts.
- The Hockey News: Don’t expect change with current power structure. Why is it that the NHL is so slow to adopt new rules?
