Firstly, Happy Australia Day!!
Lots of random factoids to catch up on!
Firstly, Pens-Islanders game last night. Flower was an absolute wall, what a stud. He blanked the Islanders for a 1-0 win over Tavares and Co, giving the Pens their second win in a row without the two headed monster, Malkin and Crosby. Craig Adams had the lone goal for the Pens but I am going to give credit to the more famous Adams man
Seems like All Stars are dropping like flies - along with Crosby and Malkin out (and Iggy for personal reasons), so are Enstrom, Hemsley and Eberle. But with their loss comes others gains and Briere, Yandle and Havlat have all been named as replacements. Even more exciting is that Jeff Skinner is getting the call up - he was originally one of the players chosen as one of the rookies for the SuperSkills competition but he instead is going to be a full fledged All Star - pretty good for the youngest payer in the NHL. With the loss of Eberle from the rookies, PK Subban was named as a replacement and will participate in the Super Skills competition.
Also Skinner is from Markham and Subban is from Toronto so yay for more hometown boys in Raleigh!
Let's see what else..
...Letang is a stud
...Nabokov is is biiiiig trouuuubleeeee (though who can blame him for not wanting to go play for the Islanders)
...the Bolts blanked the Leafs (not news at all, expected) but at least the Leafs didn't go down without a fight. Phaneuf rocked Tyrell and sent him right into the Leafs bench
...Peter Forsberg may return to the NHL! He has been practicing with his old team, the Avs, though there has been no confirmation as to whether or not he is returning. I wonder if him returning means the return of love notes to his mailbox from a certain reality star (I use the word star with hesitation ps)
...this is not new but I didn't know about it before. All State has a bunch of videos of "All State All-Canadians" talking about nutrition, training, general hockey experiences, etc. They also included an interesting lil' article on which Canadian city cranks out the most NHL players:
