Politics

The city of Cambridge, Ontario is seeking to ban kids leaving hockey nets in front of their houses. Seems like a mean thing to do, especially when you consider that at least the kids are playing hockey in the street instead of causing trouble. Darryl Reaugh is excited about Alex Ovechkin's trip to Dallas. AO does create a buzz wherever he goes. Going 5 Hole wants to know who is the best captain in the NHL. Tough call here. Lots of good leaders and each guy can bring something different. An interview with Phil Esposito. Phil is always entertaining, if not always comprehensible. Cyberbullying has made its way to hockey. It was only a matter of time, but it would be nice if the trash talk would stay on the ice. Fanhouse thinks politics and hockey don't mix. Well said. It would be nice if we could have one thing that wasn't overly politicized these days.
