Gomez to Montreal.
Bye, Scott. I had fleeting hopes that the Devils would bring him back to anchor the first line, but quite honestly, I don’t think he’s a first-line center. So now his “stay in the area” strategy has backfired, badly.
He’s the next Alexei Kovalev.
The regularity and quality of news reports out of Calgary are improving. Twitter searches for Sutter news yield a cornucopia of results and musings, and now ESPN News predicts word could come down today that the Flames exhaust the list of Sutter brothers-as-coaches.
If the Flames are upset about a first-round playoff exit, why hire [...]
I’m not going to take credit for calling any shots, but TSN reports that former Devils coach Brent Sutter is talking to the Flames. Well, duh. He’s a head NHL coach who quit his job here to return home. And the Flames fired their own coach just days before that announcement. [...]

Jennifer has a nice piece on Cammi Granato’s induction to the US Hockey Hall of Fame in Ice Magazine, the only hockey magazine for the women’s game. She’s also involved with Bela Hockey, [...]

This weekend marked my 25th Reunion at Princeton University. Princeton Reunions are a beer-drenched spectacle that occur every year, rain or shine, and shine a spotlight on the 25th Reunion class. We got to lead the annual P-rade of alumni through campus; we had reserved seats in the reviewing stands to [...]
