After a silly wireless internet connection at home yesterday, I'm back. A rather slow news day, too, so here's what I found:
- Update (1:30 PM): Finally Kovalchuk speaks. Dimitry Chesnokov has a Q&A with this summer's biggest and most annoying hockey story. So, Brian Burke was at the hearing and speaking out against long term contracts...
- Update (1:20 PM): Fredrik Modin has signed a 1 year deal with the Atlanta Thrashers.
- Hey look, Yankee's analysis on drawing penalties inspired a Dallas writer to do the same for the Stars! Ah, we sure like being trendsetters, eh?
- The Columbus Dispatch looks at how little the Western Conference teams shook up their rosters this summer. The only team that looks improved is the Canucks.
-
How Damien Cox pissed off Ted Leonsis. (Also, h/t to vancitydan for putting Ted's blog post in the fanshots.)
- NHL.com looks at the best players to ever wear their jersey numbers. 3 of the 5 ex-Canucks who made the list might make you puke in your mouth a bit.... (00-33, 34-66, 67-99)
- A THN writer talks about his trip to a Manchester United game, and how the atmosphere was much different than what you'd find at a hockey game.
- Added: Don't see this every day: Swiss player scores goal using his head, soccer style.
Open topic for today: If you won the lottery, how would you use the money?
