Here are all the links from around the hockey world, and what I’m reading, while not sure if it’s Michael Phelps or Aquaman I’m watching in these Olympics.
*Patrick Roy is all done as head coach of the Colorado Avalanche, and I can’t say I’m shocked given how sloppy and underachieving the Avalanche were the last couple of seasons. It may be a tough few months, but they’ll be a better hockey club for it.
*The Senators and Cody Ceci are discussing both a bridge contract, and a longer term deal to stay in Ottawa.
*Good piece from FOH (Friend of Haggs) Scott Burnside on Zach Parise looking to rebound from a tough season in the World Cup of Hockey.
*I am pretty underwhelmed by all of the “Hawk iterations” of a name for the expansion Vegas team if that’s the way it goes down.
*PHT writer Sven Baertschi will be living in a cage to raise money for an animal charity prior to training camp with the Canucks.
*Ryan Kennedy from the Hockey News says there are some bad omens for Canada’s junior hockey program right now.
Boston Bruins
*For something completely different: I have a fever and the only prescription is more Darth Vader in these Rogue One trailers that debuted during the Olympics last night.
