Here are the links from around the hockey world, and what I’m reading while definitely feeling the distinct smell of Christmas in the air. It is the most wonderful time of year, isn’t it?
*Don Cherry and Ron MacLean talk about superstars fighting in the NHL, and why it’s ridiculous in this weekend’s coach’s corner.
*Gare Joyce has a long read on Sidney Crosby, and what’s playing into his very slow start to this season in Pittsburgh.
*Tim Cowlishaw compares the new Stars triplets (Tyler Seguin, Jamie Benn, John Klingberg) to other great triplets in Dallas sports history.
*Mike Myers dancing on Saturday Night Live in a Maple Leafs jersey? Of course I might be interested in that.
*It sounds like they had a pretty wild game in Winnipeg on Saturday night, and Pro Hockey Talk’s James O’Brien has all the details.
*The Red Wings have grown and matured quite a bit during a 10-game point streak that has Jeff Blashill confident about what he’s seeing.
*For something completely different: great news with Jimmy Carter saying that the cancer that was in his brain is now gone.
