It’s a pretty slow news day today in the hockey world as almost everyone is enjoying the start of August long weekend.  Illegal Curve will be taking the rest of today off (it’s a beautiful sunny day here in Winnipeg, +30 C) but we will be back Sunday morning with Jets Morning Papers and any relevant news from around the NHL. 

We do have one article to link from Friend of Illegal Curve Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette.

Pat thinks the Islanders are financing a bad deal on Long Island. I agree with Pat. 

Have a great long weekend everybody!!!
