It's Friday and we have four more years of Adam McQuaid's fantastic mullet to look forward to (as posted in the comments yesterday, he really should have a no-haircut clause built into that contract). What could be better?
- Not to be outdone by all this McQuaid contract talk, Johnny Boychuk got himself a job, too - as the Edmonton Indy's Grand Marshal. [Journal]
- Here are McQuaid's contract details. I don't know about you, but to me this seems like a pretty good steal. [Globe]
- Here's an old article on Zach McKelvie, in case you're wondering who he is and why you may only have heard his name in passing. [AOL]
- Brian Ferlin was invited to World Juniors camp. It's going to be radically different watching the WJC as a Bruins fan this year; last year we had zero prospects in the tournament. This year we could potentially have Volden (Norway), Spooner (Canada) and Knight and Ferlin (USA). All in all, not too shabby. [USA Hockey]
- Certain radio networks in the Boston area are whining about ratings, because certain networks are jealous of 98.5's success, it seems. [Globe]
- Providence's opponents for next year were officially announced yesterday. [PBruins]
NHL News:
- Stamkos watch, day 30-something: yeah, nothing. Martin St. Louis talks about the season, instead. [Fox]
- Sidney Crosby started on-ice workouts recently. And there was much rejoicing in the Steel City. [PGH Live]
- When you don't win the Cup, the offseason is long. The Blackhawks are having a really fun time remembering this, this summer. [Tribune]
- Cam Janssen is taking his skills back to Jersey after the Devils traded Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblonde. Really I just wanted to write Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblonde. He was fun to watch in Lowell a few years ago. [PHT]
- Justin Bourne on why people tape their hockey sticks certain ways. Fun. [Puck Daddy]
Non-hockey link of the day:
- I am obsessed with this TV show. You guys should check it out. Or, laugh at me for being a nerd. Whatevs. [History]
