 Good column from Scott Burnside: there is no winning move as the NHL lockout continues on into Christmas.

 Edmonton Oilers prospect Justin Schultz is on pace for a record-breaking season at the AHL while continuing to prove just how worthy he was of the free agent sweepstakes mania this summer.

 

 Ilya Kovalchuk doesnt think the NHL will be holding a season this year, and seems resigned to be spending the year playing in Russia.

 

 A SportsNet legal eagle says that the NHLPA disclaimer of interest might blow up in the players faces. We shall see. Nobody really knows anything until it hits the court room.

 

 Per FOH (Friend of Haggs) Tracey Myers, Blackhawks forward Marian Hossa has returned to Chicago and is happy to be feeling better.

 

 Sidney Crosby plays goaltender for a ball hockey league and pitches a shutout. That story will go viral3, 2, 1now!

 

 A lead marketing company tells the Globe and Mail that the NHL lockout is doing alarming damage to their brand.

 

 A Providence Bruins magazine for your perusal: stories about Christian Hanson, Carter Camper and Jordan Caron are included.
