Friday Hockey News Round Up
by Michelle Finch
- Cost to buy the Tampa Bay Lightning: $206 million. Listening to John Tortorella slam the team’s previous owner? Priceless. (Fan590 audio link is here).
- Edmonton Oilers resign Brodziak and Roy. Craig Simpson’s out, Brodziak and Roy are in. Somehow I think they’re going to need a little more to get back into the playoffs.
- By the way, Simpson is now saying he’s leaving coaching because he realized he’d never be the next Scotty Bowman. There’s so many snarky comments I can make there I’m not even sure where to start…
- Staal brothers offered deal. And why not? Young men busted for drinking too much at a campground during a stag…. I know a lot of guys who call that “Saturday”.
- Hawks extend Savard’s stay. Good on ‘em. One of the best things to happen to the Hawks in years.
- Bruins sign their first round draft pick, Zach Hamill. The Bruins need this kid, both for their team and to keep their fans’ hopes alive.
- Hawks sign James Wisniewski. The Hawks on the other hand destroyed their fans’ hopes years ago…
- Coyotes ink Joel Perrault. Coyotes continue to be a mystery team… how will they do this year?
- CHL Schedule released. Colorado Eagles will begin their defense of the CHL championship title.
- Karel Pilar signs with Thrashers. Pilar’s been out of the NHL for nearly two years battling a heart condition.
- Chris Chelios testifies in murder trial. Nothing funny here. A former Cheli’s restaurant employee murdered two of his former co-workers, one right after Chelios spoke with her.
- Ducks’ Joe DiPenta thrills sick kids with Stanley Cup. Feel-good Cup story of the week.
