So, as of now I only follow two players, Matt Duchene and Paul Bissonnette https://twitter.com/#!/BizNasty2point0 A strange pairing, but Biznasty is awesome on Twitter for a guy that plays like 2 minutes a game, I would say his twitter awesomeness is inversely proportional to his time on ice. Anyway, anyone else out there that you follow that's worth it? Btw I am https://twitter.com/#!/seanoconnor77 if you are on.

I know this isn't very important but as a huge fan of Melo, this makes me very happy.

Dater's postgame blog says that Dutchie was sent to the hospital for evaluation during the second period of Friday night's Chicago game. Shit. UPDATE: Duchene is day to day per this article.

Daymon from Sports Uncut answers the question, "Who will be better their rookie season in the NHL, Matt Duchene or John Tavares and why?" I've no idea who he is or what he knows, but I sure love his answers! (It's about halfway down the page.)

Another article about Duchene, his work ethic and his thoughts on where he'll be playing next year. The warm fuzzies abound.

Terms not announced yet, but they aren't all that important anyway... "It’s a dream come true," said Duchene. "To be part of an NHL organization is something you always strive for as a kid. This is the first step, but I know I have a lot of work to do to reach my goal of playing in the NHL."

Some outstanding stuff over at jibblescribbits from thedoctor, including the following "If [Duchene] made the team tomorrow, he'd be the most explosive and talented player on it without a doubt. He'll of course need to grow his game and adjust to the speed of the NHL game, but I just can't see how you could hold him back on the basis of talent now."
