So, I’m back.  I’d like to thank the rest of the Illegal Curve contributors for picking up the slack while I was away.

  • If you haven’t read about Adam Pardy, George Johnson of the Calgary Herald tells you he’s a pleasant surpriseGive Pardy full credit for some great perseverance.
  • The NHL is reviewing Robyn Regehr’s cross-check on Derek Dorsett.  He’ll get a game or two maximum.
  • George Richards defends hockey in South Florida.  The Florida crowds have been embarassing for years.  The last time I was in Sunrise, which was about five or six years ago, no one filled the seats then.
  • Martin Gerber has been placed on waivers by the Senators.  Unfortunate circumstances for a good guy on and off the ice.
  • The Greatest Hockey Legends website has a undergone a makeover and has an interesting World Cup possibility.  I don’t mind that idea.  But at the same time, I would prefer the tournament go back to its best-of-three finals format.
  • Sidney Crosby is out of the All-Star gameSucks for the fans.
  • The NHL baseball standings courtesy of Battle of Alberta.  Love this feature.
  • Daniel Briere will be out of the Flyers lineup for at least a monthThis is one of the few teams that can afford to lose an offensive talent like Briere for a prolonged period of time.  I mean, they’ve done it already.

See you in the morning for the papers.
