Morning Skate: Jagr the dressing room DJ

Share

Here are all the links from around the hockey world, and what I’m reading while the Bruins get ready for a California trip that could get pretty rough.

 

*Great piece from Vincent Trocheck over at the Players Tribune where he details Jaromir Jagr playing DJ in the Florida Panthers dressing room, and rocking with hair band Poison for all his millennial teammates.

 

*Interesting piece on the best statistical defensemen pairings in the NHL, which – surprise, surprise – is led by Erik Karlsson since his return from injury.

 

*Carey Price talks about his mysterious injury and when he might return for the Montreal Canadiens, which he says will be sooner rather than later. I guess we’ll see on that one after the Habs claimed Antti Niemi on waivers today as well.

 

*Pretty soon the Arizona Coyotes will be able to ice the defensemen pairings they’ve always envisioned as the future of the franchise.  

 

*FOH (Friend of Haggs) Dan Rosen has five questions with NHL legend Peter Forsberg, who can rest easy now that Matt Duchene has been traded by the Colorado Avalanche.

 

*What is it going to take to fix the Chicago Blackhawks as wholesale changes are very unlikely at this point?

 

*For something completely different: Feature piece on James Franco, who has been pretty good in the episodes of “The Deuce” that I’ve actually been able to watch.
