Sunday, Oct. 9: Thompson latest UConn's NHL hopeful

Share

Here are all the links from around the hockey world, and what I’m reading, while ready for a mega-sports Sunday in the city of Boston.
 
*Good piece by Jeff Jacobs on NHL prospect and 2016 first-round pick Tage Thompson, who is also the poster boy for the UConn hockey program.

*Sam Carchidi says that the Flyers are in roster trouble if Radko Gudas is suspended for his dirty hit on Austin Czarnik from Saturday night.

*Some Central Division storylines to follow with P.K. Subban very clearly leading the way in his first season in Nashville.

 *Larry Brooks says that former Bruins forward Jean Ratelle has made peace with the Rangers after 40 years of things being awkward, and it goes back to the relationship he built with Jeff Gorton through the B’s.

 *PHT writer Cam Tucker has Peter Chiarelli and Todd McLellan discussing why Nail Yakupov wasn’t a good fit with the Oilers anymore.

 *Why on Earth is it so difficult for Stanley Cup champions to repeat after their long journey to the top? Well, largely because it is such a long, energy-sapping journey to the top.

 *For something completely different: The final game of David Ortiz’s career as with the Red Sox could very well be staring him in the face today. If the rain stops, that is.
