Josh Yohe of the Pittsburgh Tribute reports that Sidney was "flying" in practice, and he speculated that Crosby will be back "pretty soon." Great news. Stu McDonald's piece will be posted within the next few hours. Sorry for the delay. I'll be attending the Canucks/Oilers game tonight - Vancouver will be dressing [...]

Fantasy Guide is updated now...includes the Paul Byron cut, and Nick Johnson waiver pickup. The Draft List is updated - this is the one you want going into the draft tonight or tomorrow!

Amazing event for an incredible charity - more on Canuck Place here. Anyway, some thoughts from my friend at day one of Canuck camp: Keith Ballard was flying [...]

One hurdle passed - Sid the kid cleared for non-contact practice with his team. Keep an eye on who he skates with. If I was picking second in a prospects draft from 2011 eligible players, my pick would be Ryan Strome. Love his situation in Long Island. Won't play there this year, but [...]

A good read on Nick Backstrom's summer training. These are the types of pieces we usually hear about [...]
