Thursday, May 4: Long way from Winnipeg for new Vegas Insider

Share

Here are all the links from around the hockey world, and what I’m reading, while wishing a May the Fourth Be With You to everybody out there.

*Congrats to FOH (Friend of Haggs) Gary Lawless for being named to a new gig as the NHL Insider for the Vegas Golden Knights where he’ll be a major source of information for the expansion team. Vegas is a big move from Winnipeg, but no doubt that Lawless is up for it.

*A piece on the path of Mika Zibanejad from the Ottawa Senators to the New York Rangers now that the two teams are playing each other in the playoffs.

*The big guns for the Washington Capitals aren’t performing against the Penguins, and it has them on the edge of elimination.

*Speaking of which, it’s pretty clear the Penguins are pissed at the Washington Capitals, Alex Ovechkin and Matt Niskanen for their hit job on Sidney Crosby. Marc-Ander Fleury has put tape over Matti Niskanen’s name on the back of his goalie mask. Ouch.

*Some rumors here involving Nathan Beaulieu and Chris Tanev as potential defensemen that might be available on the trade market, with many teams – including the Bruins – looking for outside help on the back end.

*Credit where it’s due to the tops among academic performance from the NCAA hockey teams, including Merrimack College and the excellent program that Mark Dennehy continues to run in Andover.

*Apparently there is still some faith in Joe Sakic as the GM for the Colorado Avalanche, but I’m not sure how much longer that’s going to last after an awful, pathetic season.

*For something completely different: Apparently, Paris Jackson wants to try her hand at acting.
