It’s way too early to judge Justin Williams (forget the rest of this season), but man alive has he sucked so far.  His blown pass against the Penguins led to a Sidney Crosby goal and then he got a 4-minute double minor against the Blackhawks.  Oh well, at least he’s good at ping pong....

Colton Teubert  Los Angeles Kings  /  Regina Pats  – Likely destined for the Manchester Monarchs due to the depth on the Kings blueline, Teubert could be given an opportunity due to the fact that he is a more physical type d-man than the other defenders, with the exception of Jack Johnson.  Thomas Hickey  Los...

There was never any firm dollar offer on the table, though the Oil’s bidding apparently started at $9 million a year, and could perhaps have gone as high as $100 million over a suitable long, long term. When Hossa first heard of the Oil’s interest, he had little interest himself, as the Oil haven’t...

As the Reign’s special military-themed jerseys earned a total of $52,000 during a postgame charity auction, the bid on Teubert’s jersey set a team record. Not a bad omen for a 19-year-old who had just appeared in his first game at Citizens Business Bank Arena. “Great fans. The atmosphere in the building’s awesome,” Teubert...

By
March 23, 2009

    I don’t know if there’s any truth to this, but if so it’s fascinating and I guess not surprising:    A couple of hours ago, I wrote about how upset I was with the Justin Williams for Patrick O’Sullivan for Erik Cole deal.  I lamented the fact that Patrick O’Sullivan would have...

By
March 23, 2009

This story was written nearly six years ago, and this is the third time I’ve stumbled across it. The whole thing is worth reading. Patrick O’Sullivan always looks for his father in the stands. He’s done it since he was a 2-year-old skating in Winston-Salem, N.C. He still caught himself doing it this season...
