- If you haven't caught word of it by now, the Pens didn't fair all too well against the Toronto Maple Leafs last night. On paper a 4-3 loss doesn't necessarily look like they were destroyed, but a 5-minute elbowing call on Craig Adams resulted in three-straight PP goals for the Leafs that ultimately posed as the momentum shift. [One post down]
- Yet while all that was going down on the ice in Pittsburgh, papers were being signed and handshakes exchanged as Phil Kessel joined the Maple Leafs for 5-years, $27 mill in exchange for two first round picks and a second rounder. Worth it? [PPP]
- I agree with THN's Ken Campbell - Phaneuf needs to be penalized for his headshot on the Islanders' Kyle Okposo. I've said it before and I'll say it again; it's preseason play. While hockey may have no place for decapitation attempts, pre-season hockey definitely doesn't. [THN]
- The Boston Bruins unveiled their Winter Classic jersey yesterday. I like it, personally, and don't think the cameras will have any trouble finding a Bruins player on the ice regardless of rain, sleet or snow. [Icethetics]
- Remember all that nonsense about a month ago regarding charter flights to and from Canada? Looks like the league, Canada and the US reached a deal that will allow for Canadian charters to operate without restriction. Initially the US stated no Canadian charter could land in a US city and take off to land in another US city without a return to Canada first. [TSN]
- And finally, for a hilarious review of NHL 10, I highly recommend the following. [Down Goes Brown]
