Nightly Hockey Hits: Top 10 Most Effective Sin Bin Dwellers, Molson builds the mother of all hockey houses, Tortorella has the Rangers rolling, Want to deer hunt with Flyer great Bernie Parent?

Some news and notes covering the latest hockey news from across the blogs:

  • Puck Update:  Tortorella re-invents the Rangers.  Love him or hate him, he puts his stamp on a team
  • Thrashers Blog:  For Thrashers goalie, the more shots the better.  Good Q & A with Thrashers goaltender Ondrej Pavelec
  • Frozen Leafs:  How come the Leafs are such a mess already. It would appear that the playoffs predictions were a tad premature.
  • Stanley Cup of Chowder:  Bruins special teams play not so special.  Going to have to get this fixed if they want to compete for top spot in the East.
  • The Hockey News:  History proves that the Gonchar contract isn’t so bad.  Further proof that it is difficult to judge a contract the moment it is signed.
  • Lighthouse Hockey:  10 days in, Tavares has delivered as billed.  Good to see that he has had some early success.
  • Flyers Goal Scored By:  Deer hunting with Bernie Parent via eBay.  For the low, low price of $375 you can shoot up some deer with the former Flyer great
  • Matchsticks & Gasoline:  Now what.  Looked at my Blackberry Score application and saw the Flames were up 5-1 and assumed, game over.  Got back to see the score tied, watched OT and Flames lose.  Wow.
  • Lowetide:  The long and winding road taken by Oilers goalie prospect Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers.  Seems he is in a similar position as the Wings Jimmy Howard, who Wings fans have waited forever to develop into that big time tender that can play at the NHL level.
  • NHL Fanhouse:  Columbus jumps out to fast start in Central.  Hitchcock is a very good coach.
  • Anaheim Calling:  An intro to a new Ducks blog.  Good to see that the Ducks are getting some additional online representation.
  • Canucks Hockey:  Molson builds the mother of all hockey houses.  Sounds incredible.
  • The Hockey Writers:  NHL’s Top 10 most effective sin bin dwellers.   Good list.
  • the Score:  NHL rumour roundup.  I’m sure Caps fans will be happy to have any of Nylander’s salary off the books, even if it isn’t the entire $4.875 million cap hit his salary merits.

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.
