- James from Cycle Like the Sedins has an interesting idea. What would the league look like if all of the players could be drafted again? I was asked to pick for Pittsburgh, 13th overall. I know there's a bit of a shady history with Ilya Kovalchuk and Sid, but you have to put those things aside when you're trying to build a team. Plus Sid was drafted by the Canucks anyway. Check it out. Cause you know, I'm qualified to be a GM and stuff.

- Interested in how Sid's going to celebrate with the Cup? Sid's hometown paper has the rundown on his plans. If you play street hockey in Nova Scotia, I'd advise you show up to the Crosby house with gear. You might be able to hoist the Cup. [S/T From the Rink]
- NHL.com has a lil somethin somethin on Craig Adams. It's always good to see hustlers like him get the spotlight from time to time. [NHL.com]
- Also from the league's site, Dan Rosen breaks down the top 10 most underrated signings of the offseason. Former Pen Rob Scuderi lands in second while Jay McKee takes eighth. [NHL.com]

I’m starting to feel sorry for Marian Hossa, and I don’t like it.
Whoever says Crosby doesn’t know how to celebrate is wrong. That is probably going to be the best-attended game of street hockey in Nova Scotia ever!

Really you should have drafted Adam Banks.

I was thinking I could convince Coach Bombay to come out of retirement. If not, perhaps he’d be interested in taking on a part-time ownership role. I hear that works every so often.

Banksy is the greatest. As showcased by the best shirt ever.

RE:Ilya Kovalchuk
Funny to read the comments from that Puck Daddy Blog of 2/27/09. The Pens were just finding their footing and coming off that crap performance in Washington. Flash forward to today and guess what, Sid has One more Stanley Cup than Kovalchuk has PLAYOFF WINS! I think it’s fair to say though that the Kid has grown up quite a bit in his 4 seasons. Let your play on the Ice speak for you. Another item from that PD post, was Adam Burrish of the Blackhawks hacking on Sid also, worth watching. My response, What a F*cking loser. Yep the BH got one win in the 3rd Round and now have an injured Maid Marian. Uh oh. Watch out for Burrish the no-namer.
Oh yeah. I remember that Burrish thing. A lot of people replied to that the same way. “Who?”

another Wisconsin kid
one of those guys you love if they’re on your team, and loathe otherwise. He led the Badgers to an NCAA championship, so I was down with the kid before he ended up on the Hawks.

The real question is...
…do you play street hockey? ;-)

gotta wonder about Hossa's shoulder
and whether it played a role in his disappearing act in the playoffs

Heh you have to consider that ahtrap is a Red Wings/Penguins fan. Wings first, Pens second. So really he has no problem with be fair in that sense. ;-)

It’s always a consideration when you read about things like this after the fact. Is there a possibility that this may have stemmed from that injury he took earlier in the season when he went off on a stretcher? Any head first hit into the boards can cause trauma to the neck/shoulder area. A labrum injury is based predominantly off traumatic stress on an area. A guy like Max had the surgery done most likely from leading with his shoulder a lot. A guy like Hossa could’ve faced the same injury from being hit into the boards.
Just speculation of course. But what I’m trying to say is, it definitely puts his poor performance in the playoffs into perspective.
