Here are all the links from around the hockey world, and what I’m reading while thoroughly enjoying “Chewbacca Mom.”
*Good piece on Bruins first round pick Jake DeBrusk, and his solid performance during Memorial Cup play.
*A couple of my friends over at NHL.com have attempted to put together a World Cup of Hockey roster for North America.
*Good piece by FOH (Friend of Haggs) Craig Custance on Jumbo Joe Thornton, and what those who know him best say about him.
*Speaking of the Sharks/Blues conference finals, Vladimir Tarasenko is scoreless through the first five games of the series. That doesn’t bode well for the Blues.
*Actor Will Arnett proves that nobody is better at predicting the outcome of Stanley Cup playoff games than him.
*Longtime Director of Player Personnel Scott Luce is out with the Florida Panthers as their restructuring continues in this spring and summer.
Boston Bruins
*Gustav Nyquist is disappointing with his scoring numbers from last season, and is looking for a bump up next year.
*For something completely different: Chewbacca Mom visited with James Corden on late night television, and the results were both funny and kind of heartwarming.
