Thursday, April 21: Neuvirth gives Flyers new life

Share

Here are all the links from around the hockey world, and what I’m reading while still waiting for any signs from the Bruins that things will be different next season.

-- The Great One, Wayne Gretzky, was denied by his wife Janet when they were caught on the Kiss Cam last night. I’m pretty sure that’s 99 different kinds of wrong.

-- FOH (Friend of Haggs) Kevin Paul Dupont hops on the Boston.com radio station to talk Bruins and Stanley Cup playoffs.

-- Andrew Shaw was appropriately contrite and rightfully suspended by the NHL for his usage of homophobic slurs on the ice.

-- Michael Neuvirth gives the Philadelphia Flyers new life between the pipes as they finally did something against the heavily favored Washington Capitals in their first-round series.

-- While I’m not sure I have any need to read a Deadspin article on the San Jose Sharks power play, I appreciate their attempts to actually do some real sports writing rather than the dumpster-diving that is oft-times their calling card.

-- With the Toronto Maple Leafs out of the playoffs, James Mirtle takes a look at the Toronto Marlies ramping up for their first Calder Cup championship.

-- PHT writer Jason Brough has Boston College goaltender Thatcher Demko foregoing his senior year at the Heights, and signing with the Vancouver Canucks. Good work by Jim Benning and Co. to make sure and get that done.

-- For something completely different: RIP to Chyna as another former pro wrestler dies very young (45 years old).
