... did, I hope it never hatches, because "Happy Feet" sucked.) Whatever the case, the Flyers have received a stay of execution. "The longer you let them breathe, the worse it gets," Penguins defenseman Brooks Orpik said after the game. Damn right, and watch those orange-and-black lungs fill with air if Timonen and Braydon Coburn make their improbable returns to the lineup for Game 5.

from Jeff Z. Klein of Slap Shot at the NYT, The hockey landscape has changed — NHL clubs must now look on Russian clubs not as feeder teams whose rosters can be harvested, but as full economic equals. Fortunately for the NHL, it still has the reputation and the quality of life to assure that the Ovechkins and Semins will keep coming to North America, at least for the next few years. ...

These Sunbelt kids are part of a new wave, rising up from the bottom left corner of the continental United States, and infiltrating major junior hockey west of Ontario. They are taking a traditionally Canadian route to the NHL, skating beside tractor-strong Prairie boys and riding buses through the B.C. Interior.

NBA Playoffs Better Than the NHL Playoffs?

From Tom Jones at Tampa Bay.com, First, I’m a hockey guy. I covered the NHL for 15 years and if the choice is between watching a hockey game on television and watching another event live from the first row, I’d probably pick the hockey game. To me, it’s the best sport there is, and there’s nothing like the passion, drama and intensity of the Stanley Cup playoffs.  ...
