Miscellany

  • Hey Celtics - don't mail in Game 4, alright?
  • If I understand things correctly, if Phoenix does not find a buyer for the Coyotes by Dec 31 of this year, they will be relocated...and the new city will likely be Winnipeg.
  • The Windsor Spitfires won the Memorial Cup. Taylor Hall got the MVP. I watched the first period, it was still close between the Spitfires and the Wheat Kings. Then I turned to Mythbusters during the first intermission (they were making earwax candles. c'mon!), and lost interest, mainly because the Spitfires put things out of reach, eventually winning 9-1. Hall with a goal and 2 assists, +3 for the game. Kinda sad when they'd talk about a player who just made a good play (say, Adam Henrique - Devils), and then to find out he has already been drafted and is property of some Eastern Conference team. There was some chatter in Sunday's Globe that had the B's packaging Wheeler and the 2nd overall pick to get the first overall pick (I think that's how it went). I wouldn't mind that.
  • Blackhawks wiped out San Jose, 4 games to zero. San Jose got a little farther than usual, but still came up choking in the end. Kris Versteeg sealed the deal with an empty-net goal, which leads me to...
  • Brandon Bochenski update: He finished with 4-9-13 totals in 28 games this season with the 'Ning. Branbo is a UFA this summer, we'll see which team he'll suck for next.
  • I actually emailed Fluto about Blake Wheeler being allowed to walk. He thinks the Bruins will make an offer anyway. But his stock has dropped with his underperforming ways of this season, so he'll sign for cheap money OR he'll get taken by some desperate team and we'll get some lame draft picks.
  • Shane Hnidy's a UFA this summer - he'd come in at under $1M/year...would be nice to have the Sheriff back in town, he woulda slapped Matt Cooke around pretty good if he was here...
  • Trade Hunwick.
