Morning Skate: Kelly to Ducks, Plekanec to Leafs

Share

Here are the all the links from around the hockey world, and what I’m reading while nothing could be finer than a Sunday spent in Buffalo. 

 

*Congrats to Chris Kelly, who parlayed his captaincy with Team Canada into a one-year contract with the Anaheim Ducks for the rest of this season. 

 

*A very good move by the Maple Leafs to land Montreal center Tomas Plekanec, who is definitely a guy that gets under the skin of Bruins center David Krejci if Boston and Toronto do indeed meet in the first round of the playoffs. 

 

*Patrik Elias gets the hero’s treatment from the New Jersey Devils after a fantastic career with the organization. 

 

*Do not get on the goaltenders in St. Louis with mock cheers, or you will surely feel the wrath of Vladimir Tarasenko. 

 

*What happens when an excellent, electric hockey game gets in the way of a trade deadline where the Montreal Canadiens are selling off pieces? 

 

*For something completely different: Here’s an excellent piece on the work of NBC production people back in Stamford, Connecticut that are the backbone of the Olympics coverage that everybody has come to know and love.
