Blog Round-Up — November 26, 2007
Some link love after the long weekend for our friends down south:
NHLPA.com has a nice feature on Vincent Lecavalier and his charity work in the Tampa area, specifically with the Children’s Hospital. Lecavalier is donating $3 million dollars to a pediatric cancer and blood disorders center.
Going Five Hole has a post on the dearly missed “Badger” Bob Johnson on the anniversary of his death in 1991. Has it really been that long? While many remember his amazing work with the Penguins, Johnson coached here in Calgary for many years and brought the Flames to their first Stanley Cup final. He is still highly regarded around here, and there is a tribute to him in the Saddledome. I can’t hear “It’s a great day for hockey” without getting a little tear in the eye…
James Mirtle looks at the instigator rule and why the NHLPA should maybe find out things to fight about.
On Frozen Blog checks out some of the worst arenas in the NHL. I’m glad someone else dislikes the Air Canada Centre, though I might be biased towards a classic arena like Maple Leaf Gardens.
FastballFans dug up this news story on some White Sox 1919 World Series memorabilia to be auctioned off. There’s a lot of fascinating history to the documents and that particular World Series, so it’s worth a look. It’s not hockey, but if any sport tops hockey in history and nostalgia, baseball is it.
I’ve dropped the Mike Keenan watch recently (fish… barrel), but Barry Melrose Rocks has been staying on top of it.
