Like the terrible Americans we are, we completely forgot that today was in fact a holiday. We still worked so it was like any other normal day. Or something like that.
Before we get to the news, we would like to make a little public service announcement. If you follow the blog on Twitter then you would know that Curtis is currently running a poll to see who men would 'make an exception for' if you know what we mean...
We are asking that you poll the men in your life and you can either email us the answers at thehockeyjunkies@gmail.com or comment here or even respond to Curtis on the Twitter machine.
As always, we appreciate your participation and hope that you help us out with this (not so) serious question.
Now, onto the news!
- Hockey Canada chose Todd Gill, coach of the Kingston Frontenacs, to coach the Ivan Hlinka tournament that will be held in August.
- Just as a reminder, the Stanley Cup Finals will begin on Wednesday May 30th at 8pm.
- The Canucks signed Alain Vigneault to a two-year contract extension.
- The Wild signed Mikael Granlund to a three-year entry-level contract.
- The Blue Jackets signed Derek Dorsett to a three-year contract extension.
- Luke Richardson was named the new head coach of the Binghamton Senators, the Ottawa Senators's farm team.
- The players for the scouting combine have been named and they're now getting ready to be poked, prodded, sweated and the interviewed. It's a tough life.
- Ruck Dudley was hired as the assistant GM for the Montreal Canadiens.
- And the Habs have been busy, busy lately after they hired Scott Mellanby to be their new director of player personnel.
- Apparently, Dominik Hasek is looking to make a comeback to the NHL as a goaltender. At the age of 47. Who does he think he is, Nick Lidstrom? Jeez, buddy.
- The Bruins and Capitals traded forwards with Chris Bourque going to the Bruins and Zach Hamill going to the Capitals. Sounds fair enough, right?
- Remember the last eighth seed to make it to the SCF before the Kings this season? Yeah, Jarret Stoll and Matt Greene were a part of that 2006 Oilers team and they're grateful for a chance to contend for the Cup again.
- Travis Zajac missed most of this season after injuring his achilles tendon but he is now tearing it up for the Devils in their playoff run. He's a big part of why the Devils have been so successful this postseason.
