Roller derby

Taking Note has a couple of neat stories about the legend of Ernie McLean. Read them here and here. Thats some story. Good to hear he is ok. Maple Leaf Gardens will play host to the CBC reality series, Battle of the Blades. I can't imagine this is going over well in Hell, as reports indicate that Harold Ballard is so upset he cancelled his weekly bridge game with Stalin, Che and Mao. A roller derby for NHL owners and prospective owners? I would prefer this over Battle of the Blades. Hockee Night discusses the possibiltiy of Chelios going to the Leafs, and what he may or may not be able to bring to a team. He makes a good point. The returns are diminished in terms of what Chelios can offer. Coming Down the Pipe has an update on some Oiler prospects. Hopefully Rajala's injury is not too serious. Flyers Goal Scored By wonders why Mike Knuble didn't get an invite to the Team USA Camp. I think its time for Team USA to turn the page. I like the look of their young core. In the wake of Matt Frattin's dismissal from the UND Fighting Sioux, the team has added forward Corban Knight from the AJHL. Sounds like he is physically ready.
