Morning Skate: Dogs, cats, wasps and Tuukka

Share

Here are all the links from around the hockey world, and what I’m reading, while somberly remembering the young victims of Sandy Hook five years ago today. It’s one of the worst days this country has ever seen, and not enough has been done by our lawmakers to prevent it from happening again.

*Relaxed, fun interview between Tuukka Rask and Jeremy Roenick where Tuukka talks about the special kind of wasp that was named after him.

*Alex DeBrincat continues to tear it up for the Chicago Blackhawks and reward the organization for them taking a risk on him in the 2016 draft.

*Frederik Andersen is headed toward one of the busiest seasons ever for an NHL goalie, but his body is prepared for the workload in Toronto.

*Chris Neil is calling it a career for the Ottawa Senators at the end of a rugged, blue-collar career where he was always a tough customer.

*The stone cold reaction to winning a brand new car was perfect for this Vancouver Canucks fan after an on-ice contest.

*Kudos to FOH (Friend of Haggs) Greg Wyshynski for this week’s power rankings with a Star Wars theme, which include the Bruins as Admiral Ackbar. Some of these are a stretch, but still very much in good fun and strong in the Force.

*For something completely different: "Deadpool "will remain an R-rated entity even under Disney ownership and control. Good news! Really interested to see what this merger will mean for the "X-Men" and "Fantastic Four "in the MCU.
