Here is a video of a robot "skating" and shooting a ball while on ice. This video is hosted on TheStar.com
An ex-Avalanche member just signed a deal.
Boston will have three more years of Johnny Rockets after this season.
The Bruins announced Tuesday night that Johnny Boychuk has agreed to a three-year contract extension. The team did not release the details, but according to TSN's Bob McKenzie, the deal is worth $3.36 million per season.
If you were in Barrie last night, you had a chance to see Ray Bourque play.
The crowd will be cheering ‘let’s go black and gold’ when Boston Bruins alumni take to the ice of the Barrie Molson Centre tonight.
Ray Bourque, Rick Middleton and Terry O’Reilly will be backed by an all-star team when they square off with the Ontario Law Enforcement Torch team for charity.
"It’s usually a very entertaining game," Middleton said.
"Sometimes it’s very competitive. It all depends on the opposition."
More about Rick Nash. For those asking, his cap hit is 7.8 million through the 2017- 2018 season.
"We’re open to all options to try to improve the team," Howson told the Columbus Dispatch on Tuesday, rattling the earth as he spoke. "As far as rumours go, we’re just not going to comment."
Columbus has made one post-season appearance since joining the league in the 2000-01 season, and it was ugly. The Detroit Red Wings outscored the Blue Jackets 18-7 during a sweep of their Western Conference quarter-final three years ago — and Nash factored in three of those seven Columbus goals.
Nash has represented Canada twice at the Olympics (in 2006, and again in 2010), and has become a fixture on the world championship circuit. Every spring. Because Columbus is never in the playoffs.
"I’m a Blue Jacket right now," he said, in the Dispatch. "I’ve played my whole career here and it’s a special place to me. So as of right now I’m a Blue Jacket."
Apparently there was almost a fight in Montreal.
A shouting match erupted at the Montreal Canadiens practice Tuesday, with an angry assistant coach tearing a strip off the team's highest paid player.
An argument between forward Scott Gomez and assistant coach Randy Ladouceur was so long and intense that some media observers thought it might turn into a fistfight.

I think I might actually hate Scott Gomez.
As for Ray…I would love to play on the same ice, even against a well retired and semi-pudgy Ray

Why do yuo hate Scott Gomez?
A man who stole my whisky used the defense that no one could resist a bottle of Scotch. I had no choice but to testify on his behalf.
I should change that a bit. I don’t hate Gomez, I hate the type of deal he gets from stupid owners…mediocre player getting a super pile of cash to be a mediocre player…then getting railed and made fun of for being exactly what he is, a mediocre player.
Anger directed in the wrong spot on that one

I am so excited. A co-worker just came over to my neighbors desk to bring her a calendar. Co-worker says “here, I picked this up at the gym for you”, neighbor says “ooh, what is it?” at which point I broke in with “it’s a large building where people work out, but that’s not important right now”
whatever else happens today, it’s a winner

I get it, and no, not completely unrelated.

Don’t let them get into Skynet.
Datsyuk may have done it first, but he learned it from Peter Forsberg.
Thanks for everything Foppa!

Canada is just trying to keep up with Sweden in hockey player technology. The Swede’s cloning experiments have shown such promise.

I have a question for the jersey geeks out there. I’m sorry if this is dumb, but I haven’t followed the 3rd jersey too closely. Did the blue get darker recently? I’ve seen some pics where the blue portion of the 3rd jersey looks to be a much lighter shade than it looks in this picture of Varly.
For what it’s worth, if it did change to a darker blue, I like it a lot better than the light blue.
No soup for you!
found a pic for comparison. Doesn’t this seem like a much lighter shade of blue than the pic above?
No soup for you!
That does look like a different jersey. The thirds now have the ugly black stripe in the armpit that makes it look like everyone is sweating oceans.
it's he same color, i promise.
i can explain exactly what’s happening if anyone cares, we fight this shit in my job as a image processor all the time. but i don’t feel like typing it up if no one cares.
Troublemaker.
