1. Apparently the NHL lost something like $350 million of its brand value due to the lockout. Now I'm no economics major so can someone explain to me how that was a good idea for the owners? The NHL might come back in Canada in a season or two but the States are different. Arizona fans don't immediately think "lets watch a Coyotes game" on a Saturday night.
2. Kevlar hockey socks are going to be a bigger seller given some of the Achilles tendon severings and femoral artery lacerations this season has had. I know if my eldest nephew was getting ready for his first hockey season I'd buy him a pair. Here's hoping that both Erik Karlsson and Zach Redmond make full recoveries.
3. Ottawa just had their goalie injured. I don't want to be a nay sayer for my team but given all the other injuries they've had I think they'll be on the outside looking in come play off time. Of course given the compressed schedule this season its always possible some other teams get even more beat up, allowing them to limp a little faster than the opposition.
4. Lindy Ruff was fired this season. Firing a coach isn't usually news worthy enough for this blog but considering he was the Buffalo Sabre's coach for something like 16 consecutive seasons I'll make an exception.
