Friday, Dec. 30: Smashed sticks? Must mean pressure's on

Share

Here are all the links from around the hockey world, and what I’m reading, while truly wondering what the NHL is doing having their linesmen intervene early on far too many hockey fights. That’s dangerous fire they’re playing with.

*Mike Smith was one of a number of NHL players that smashed sticks in the closing seconds of games last night. It’s getting to be that time of year where points are super valuable, and players are beginning to feel the pressure.

*The Minnesota Wild see their window to succeed as right now, and are set on a collision course with the Blue Jackets this weekend as the two hottest teams in hockey.

*The Hockey Night Punjabi discusses his interviews along with his hopes for the Edmonton Oilers in an entertaining Q&A.

*Cam Ward keeps on playing well for the Carolina Hurricanes, and they’re going to need that to continue for the foreseeable future.

*Rankings the best and worst of the Stan Bowman era with the Chicago Blackhawks that’s been way more good than bad.

*It could end up being a very wet Winter Classic in St. Louis as they hope for good conditions, but are also prepared to play on a different day.

*Bruins prospects Jeremy Lauzon has come back from a scary injury last spring to star for Team Canada at the World Junior tournament this season.

*The Florida Panthers will be without Aleksander Barkov for the next few weeks as the hits keep on coming for this organization.

*For something completely different: this sounds fun with the Legends of Tomorrow planning to go back in time to the release of Star Wars in 1977.
