Thursday, June 9: Harvard boosts Ference's life after hockey

Share

Here are all the links from around the hockey world, and what I’m reading, while hoping it isn’t over in the Stanley Cup Final tonight. You’d like to at least see it go to six games, wouldn’t you? Let’s try and find some energy there, San Jose.

*Good piece on Andrew Ference utilizing the Harvard Extension School to help build his career now that the NHL gig is likely up for him.

*The pride of UNH and Reading Memorial High School, Steve Saviano, is headed over to Belfast to play for the Belfast Giants. Do I smell road trip?

*The Dennis Wideman saga continues with the NHL suing the NHLPA over the reduced sentence for the former Bruins D-man slamming a referee from behind.

*Just to confirm, NBC Sports analyst and FOH (Friend of Haggs) Mike Milbury doesn’t give a flying care what you think of him.

*Sidney Crosby knows his hockey history and he is keenly aware of what a second Stanley Cup would mean for his NHL legacy.

*Down Goes Brown gives a list of seven Conn Smythe candidates to consider with the Stanley Cup winding down this week no matter which team ends up winning.

*Corey Pronman gives a list of the 30 best NHL Draft prospects over the last five years,and the Matthew Barzal one is going to be a kick to the stomach for the Bruins after they passed on him three times in the first round last year.

*Jimmy Fallon has his Stanley Cup Final superlatives that include poking some fun at Logan Couture and Patrick Marleau.

*For something completely different: a grateful rest in peace to Bretagne, the last 9/11 rescue dog who passed on this week just shy of her 17th birthday. Your life of service before, during and after those tragic events is something to be commended and admired.
