My impression of the All-Star Weekend so far: well done. I mean, let's face it, this is all about the stars of the league interacting with fans and having a little fun. Friday's draft was quite entertaining, once TSN let them actually draft and stop interrupting with boring interviews after the first couple of [...]

Are Sheldon Souray's days as an NHL player over? He has two goals in 17 games with Hershey this season. The fact that Souray only has a year left on his deal should get him at least one more NHL deal... but where? Pierre Lebrun's midseason award picks are up over at ESPN. [...]

Alex Edler will be out indefinitely after undergoing back surgery today. No word on his timetable for a return yet (sounds like it could be 6-8 weeks). Opens up more ice time for Keith Ballard. Edler out now clears the way for a Salo return. He's been practicing with the team for about [...]

Happy Birthday Wayne! My favorite hockey player of all time. Fifty - makes me feel old. I was around 10 when he was pumping home 200-point seasons. The Guardian Project is updated with the Panther and the Senator. From philly.com: The Flyers are 22-4-2 with Carcillo in the lineup and just 11-8-3 [...]

Copper and Blue opines that Alexander Radulov would be a 94-point player this year had he stuck it out in the NHL. If so, his next contract would earn him Kovalchuk money. The Rangers have recalled Michael Del Zotto and Evgeni Grachev from the minors. Grachev had an AHL hat trick last night, [...]

Now the word from Bob McKenzie is that Nabby will NOT report to Long Island. Whatever. This won't be resolved any time soon. Hang onto all your goalies and make no decisions until you see this is 100 percent finalized. Nabokov has been claimed by the Islanders and word is that he'll report. [...]
