Morning Skate: No captain, no problem in Vegas

Share

Here are all the links from around the hockey world, and what I’m reading. while marking Day Three in Toronto.

*Not having a captain on their team really hasn’t been an issue with the Vegas Golden Knights, who have somehow pushed into the second round of the playoffs after absolutely decimating the Los Angeles Kings. The Golden Knights continue to be an amazing Cinderella story.

*Pekka Rinne has not been very good against the Colorado Avalanche in the postseason, but here’s why Preds fans shouldn’t be worried.

*Boy, that Radko Gudas can’t help but throw hits that injure players can he? In practice, he takes down teammate Sean Couturier. That’s no bueno for the Flyers.

*Richard Panik arrested for trespassing in Arizona is a strange way to commemorate his NHL season with the Coyotes being over.

*Here’s a look at the Bruins rookies from an outside perspective in Toronto where they think they’ve been “sneaky good.” Actually, I think they’ve just been really, really good. There is absolutely no sneaky about it.

For something completely different: A big-time stick salute to Mary Shertenlieb for finishing the Boston Marathon with her husband and FOH (Friend of Haggs) Rich. This is a testament to courage and perseverance with Mary having battled cancer multiple times in the past, and also to the great love between these two excellent people. We’re all so proud of you, Mary…you rock!
