Morning Skate: Ex-Penguin: Pens accepting White House visit 'embarrassing'

Share

Here are all the links from around the hockey world, and what I’m reading, while genuinely looking forward to the return of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

*Former NHL enforcer Georges Laraque, a former member of the team, calls the Penguins’ decision to accept an invitation to visit the White House “embarrassing.” Certainly, the timing was not good at all when it first came out last weekend, and that seems to be the majority opinion around the hockey world.

*College Hockey News comes out with their preseason Top 10 as NCAA hockey will get going in earnest very soon.

*PHT writer Cam Tucker has Roberto Luongo pushing through the mental and physical grind during his comeback from a hip injury. Luongo, and his health, will be a major factor in the hopes of the Florida Panthers getting back into the playoffs this season.

*Interesting action from the Vegas Golden Knights printing the names of their season ticket holders on the ice for their inaugural NHL season.

*Anaheim Ducks D-man Cam Fowler is getting more comfortable in a leadership role as time marches on for the young veterark=tw*n.

*For something completely different: So the on-screen chemistry between Jon Snow and Ygritte wasn’t fantasy after all.
