Here are all the links from around the hockey world, and what I’m reading, while amazed that pitchers and catchers are already reporting to spring training.
*TSN’s “Like it, Don’t Like it” tackles a number of NHL-related issues including the Habs being one move away from East prominence, and the Stars potentially moving from Lindy Ruff after this season.
*Good piece by Bob McKenzie talking about referee Wes McCauley and his great penalty call after the Andrew Shaw/Torey Krug fight from Sunday night that went viral across the Internet.
*It seems there is another NHL relocation story cropping up every other day, so Sean McIndoe tries to keep track of them all. Good luck with that.
*PHT writer Joey Alfieri has Ottawa Senators GM Pierre Dorion showing a lot of resistance to giving up what it will take to make a deal with the Colorado Avalanche.
*Speaking of the Avs, FOH (Friend of Haggs) Adrian Dater spends a podcast with Eklund poring through the rumors and trade speculation.
*In the TSN rumor round-up, Alex Burrows said he’s only watching and reading ESPN for his sports updates because he essentially thinks there won’t be much NHL trade rumor content there.

*Elliotte Friedman has his 30 thoughts for the week including some potential landing spots for Matt Duchene and Gabriel Landeskog.
*For something completely different: another fun spoof with Jimmy Kimmel and Matt Damon getting the Maury Povich treatment.
