Saturday, Jan. 14: Kopitar's down year

Share

Here are all the links from around the hockey world, and what I’m reading while highly recommending “Manchester By the Sea.” It’s a sad, powerful movie that doesn’t take the easy way out, and gives Casey Affleck the role of a lifetime.

*Anze Kopitar isn’t having the best of years for the Los Angeles Kings, and failing to make the All-Star cut was another sign of that.

*PHT writer Cam Tucker has the details behind the retirement ceremony for Marty St. Louis and John Tortorella couldn’t help but make a joke about his former star player.  

*Apparently the Minnesota Wild are enduring a PR beating over a mascot skit that went pretty, pretty bad.

*Massachusetts native Jimmy Vesey is off to a good start with the New York Rangers midway through his rookie NHL season.

*It hasn’t always been easy for Columbus Blue Jackets captain Nick Foligno, but he’s met every challenge with his trademark character and hard work.

*Joe Thornton is paying homage to one of his Canadian heroes, Tragically Hip lead singer Gord Downie, these days in San Jose.

*Erik Karlsson is buying into Guy Boucher’s approach with the Ottawa Senators and it’s making all the difference.

*For something completely different: A “Heathers” TV series reboot? It kind of proves that movie was way, way ahead of its time.
