The President of the USA had the Pittsburgh Penguins at the Whitehouse yesterday. I do have to wonder how much of the Stanley Cup playoffs Obama actually watched since is he is a self professed basketball fan.
On the Phil Kessel front. Apparently Phil Kessel is drawing interest from multiple NHL teams. [TSN] Yesterday Kessel said that, he was not not talking to the Bruins. Apparently that story was false. So oops scratch that. Now Kesseling is talking to the Bruins again. [NESN]
From the Washington Cap's Twitter: Clackson and Thomas of Philly tossed from the game after a big scrum. Bruess escorted off the ice by a ref after same scrum. Good ole Buress is up to his old tricks. Also, from the same twitter; 59s got at it. Finley and Klotz. Finley plays to the crowd as he leaves the ice.
It would appear that Dany Heatly's teammates don't hold too much of a grudge against him, "How things have gone down, maybe it's going to leave a bit of a black mark (on Heatley's reputation), but he's not a bad teammate," Senators centre Jason Spezza said Friday morning at the team's annual charity golf tournament. [TSN]
On the Bad Boyz front: Former NHL player Mike Danton, who was jailed for trying to arrange a killing, has been granted full parole. The guy was only in jail roughly 5 years. [CBC]
Mike Russo wrote a nice article on Todd Richards. The former Gophers is bringing some excitement to the Wild hockey teams and promises to take it up a notch or two. [Star Tribune]
Former SCSU hockey player Mark Parish is going to get a tryout with the Vancouver Canucks. Let's hope that Mark can make the hated Canucks. [Ben Hankinson Twitter]
On the Minnesota Viking's front, the Williams Wall will be able to play for the season. The Federal Court of Appeals has ruled that the NFL can not suppend the Viking's top two defensive line man. [Minnesota Vikings]
Mike Russon on former Badger Chris Hickey: "Also, been working on this the last week or so, but Chris Hickey, the ‘06 seventh-rounder from Cretin-Derham Hall, has informed the Wild that he has left Wisconsin and does not plan to enroll in another school until he is eligible to play next season, Thompson says. He tried this summer to transfer to Dartmouth and Vermont." [Russo's Rants]
