Nightly News Feed: Ovechkin and Malkin not as Clutch as Crosby, April Fools Jokes around the NHL, Chances your team is going to make the 1st Round, Where has all the scoring gone in Minnesota?

 

  • Contemplating what life would be like if the Avs developed a goalie from within.  Truth is they won’t be winning anytime soon so they can bring along a goalie much slower now.
  • “Battle” of the backups over in Edmonton.  Roloson is a workhorse but for the Oilers to have any chance they need him in net.
  • Ovechkin and Malkin not as Clutch as Crosby?   Some interesting numbers.
  • Over at Mile High Hockey they’ve voted Tyler Arnason #5 on the all time Avs list.  And that’s when you knew it was April fools today.
  • Lidstrom grants a wish as Wings reach out to youth.  He’s a class act.
  • With the season all but over its time to reflect on Rick Tocchet‘s impact.  Can he hold Melrose’s mullet?
  • Bruins to get new ownership?  Somewhat odd as they are starting to look like they could win in the post season.
  • A view from the frontier focussing on what went wrong in MinnesotaCan’t expect one guy to carry the scoring responsibilities.
  • Kudos to Defending Big D blogger who almost had me post that Roman Turek was returning for Dallas.  The April Fools jokes continue.
  • In addition to the above here is a list of some of the April Fools jokes going around the rink today. 
  • If your team is on the cusp of the playoff’s, here are the stats for them making the 1st round;  Eastern Conference &  Western ConferenceNot looking good for the Sabres and Wild.

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.
