No news yet.
Affiliate news – St. John’s IceCaps:
The Telegram: Macenauer and Redmond draw into lineup. Looks like coach McCambridge is not taking a chance for his club getting complacent.
The Telegram: McCambridge’s stay in St. John’s could be brief. Many eyes have been on the Brandon, Manitoba native as he led the IceCaps to 2nd place in the Eastern conference. There has been talk all season long about his possible move to the NHL but this has increased of late.
Stanley Cup news:
Washington Post: A series of problems for Caps. The risk/reward of playing smothering defence, is that the offense that you need appears to have been shelved. Guys like Ovechkin, Backstrom and Semin need to show up on the score sheet if this team has any hope of knocking off the first place Rangers.
New York Daily News: Rangers are young, healthy and hungry for Stanley Cup. One of the keys to a successful Stanley Cup run is avoiding the injury bug and the Blueshirts have done that extremely well so far in this post season.
Last night’s playoff action:
Arizona Republic: Coyotes hold off Predators for 1-0 Game 4 win. How many people picked a Phoenix and L.A. Western Conference Final? While the fat lady is not yet singing both teams are on the precipice of the 3rd Round. The Coyotes took a stranglehold (although with this franchises history perhaps not a good term) last night holding on for the 1-0 win. Once again Mike Smith led them to victory.
Arizona Republic: Embarrassment never ends for city of Glendale. Just when it looked like the Coyotes could finally be that ‘feel good’ story, the city causes more problems, this time with the NFL.
The Tennessean: Preds desperately needs duo back for Game 5. The Preds organization needs Alexander Radulov and Andrei Kostitsyn to get back and hope that the two game absence from the ice has improved their attitude.
