Congratulations to UMass-Lowell River Hawk Carter Hutton – after getting to serve backup duties for a game with the Philadelphia Flyers while on an ATO, he has signed with the San Jose Sharks. (previous blog gallery)
Great move by the NHL Players Association to rename the Pearson Award after Ted Lindsay. The Ted Lindsay Award is the top award an individual NHL player can receive as it is for the “Most Outstanding Player” as voted on by the players. By the way, Gordie “Mr. Hockey Union Buster” Howe does not have any major awards named after him.
Nice story you’ve probably already seen – Brooks Laich stops to help a mother and daughter stuck on a bridge with a flat tire after Game 7 loss.
Maine Black Bear Will O’Neill started his birthday yesterday helping clean Alfond Arena – Youtube video from Maine. (previous blog gallery)
Atlanta Thrashers article on Zach Bogosian (previous blog gallery)
Nice touch – at the end of this Maine cleaning video, you can see that they have the nameplates from former locker occupants in the back of each locker. (And yes, I’m going through a bunch of saved URLs in no particular order.)
Stephane Da Costa will be playing for France at the Worlds (previous blog galleries 1 2)
Rookies Matt Duchene, Jimmy Howard and Tyler Myers are up for the Calder Trophy.
Jhonas Enroth
Jhonas Enroth was recalled by the Buffalo Sabres to back up Ryan Miller and if Patrick Lalime stays out with an injured groin, could even get to make his NHL debut. From the Buffalo News: “…Ruff said. “If he’s here for any length of time, he’s going to have to play. We’re going to stick to the program. By the weekend, if Patty isn’t ready to play, there’s a good chance Jhonas would play.” Personally still pissed off that that sieve stole Brian Gionta’s Hobey Baker so hopefully he’ll play like he did in that Albany F4 Semi-Final and get pulled in favor of Enroth :-).
Showdown in Detroit
Tim Kennedy (earlier gallery) teams up with Nate Gerbe (earlier gallery) against his former Michigan State teammate Justin Abdelkader.
Kennedy & Abdelkader teamed up in 2007 to beat Gerbe’s Boston College Eagles in a heartbreaker for the national championship. Just to even things out tonight – former Eagle Patrick Eaves is on the ice for Detroit so each team has an Eagle & Spartan.
