Elliotte Friedman’s weekly 30 Thoughts column on the CBC website is the best read in hockey. Friedman is insightful, articulate, knowledgeable, fair, and most importantly, interesting.

On the plus side, he did score a hat trick at the NHL level in his debut. [...]

Henrik Sedin on Daniel's strong season: "If I had myself passing to me I'd have 24 goals too." Saturday picks will be posted within the hour. Ben Eager suspended four games for a gutless sucker punch on Colby Armstrong. Jiri Hudler had a helper last night, and he now has points [...]
