KK Hockey — ... a Chicago goal by Martin Havlat. Unable to distinguish the puck from diving defenceman Dan Boyle’s uniform, officials waved it off. • The Flyers will be scrambling to shed $2 million US and stay under the salary cap next week as Randy Jones prepares to come off the injured list.

Mile High Hockey — ... This story in the Toronto Sun mentions that the Flyers have a cap issues that is about to rear its ugly head.  Of the aforementioned players (Mike Knuble, Scottie Upshall, Joffrey Lupul, and Randy Jones), should the Avs take a look at any of these guys, given the reoccuring injury theme of the current team?  Since we don't have any 'elite' players ...

In Soviet Russia, Afinogenov Trades You
The Goose's Roost — by Ryan Reports are saying Max will ride the press box wall tonight, but that's not the biggest story about our little crazylegs today.

What's the Story with the Islander Injuries?
NEW YORK ISLANDER FAN CENTRAL — ... Comrie, DiPietro and Witt all reportedly played hurt which is not uncommon, most players are banged up at the end of an NHL season.
