Saturday Night Hockey

We have a few things to say here (even though there just links), time to celebrate!

Ryan Kennedy of the Hockey News talks about a few prospects in the lower-tier U20's....that's good in my books.

Staying with IIHF stuff, Women's hockey outside of North America is about to get a boost.

In the "about damn time" news, Donald Fehr is the new head of the NHLPA.

The Phoenix Coyotes had to sign an amateur goalie this week for a game, does anything go right for that franchise?

And finally, HBO's "24/7" series kicked off with a nice little rant from Washington Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau.

Line-up Notables

Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Vancouver Canucks (wait...a Western game gets the early start?!?!)

Toronto: J-S Giguere and Mike Brown are out. Jonas Gustavsson gets the start.
