Linkorama: (WCHA focused)

Former SCSU Husky was the latest victim of the Philadelphia Flyers goon squad. It seems the Flyers are up to their old tricks early in the season again as they have another one of their goon's checking someone from behind. Hitting someone from behind is a gutless act that needs to be rewarded with more severe punishment. Someone is going to end up in a wheel chair...

Cullen absence 'precautionary'Submitted by chipalexander on 09/28/2008 - 19:13
It was an unsettling moment for Canes coach Peter Laviolette and the Hurricanes players -- center Matt Cullen taking a big hit and then being pulled from the game.

Cullen was blindsided by the Flyers' Nathan Guenin in the first period and did not play the rest of the game. Cullen missed several games last season because of vision problems after a pair of concussions.

"They checked his head for concussion symptoms and everything seemed positive and clear,'' Laviolette said. "It was more precautionary than anything else.''

It appears that there is a little news coming out of the Devils Camp during the training camp. First off Goon's World would like to wish Barry Tallackson a speedy recovery as he just had heart surgery. The Devils are expecting more out of former Gopher Paul Martin.

Its been a while since the Devils so much buzz for our hockey fans, here are some of the recent tid bits and my random thoughts...

Barry Tallackson had successful heart surgery for an irregular heart beat. We all wish him well and a speedy recovery.

I like Bryce Salvador and the attitude he is bringing to our back line. I think this is a critical year for Paul Martin and he needs to elevate his game - I think he will.
