Here are all the links from around the hockey world, and what I’m reading while wishing the Boston Celtics good luck on their playoff journey.
*There’s nothing better than dandy Don Cherry talking about Bruins playoff hockey during his Coach’s Corner segments on Hockey Night in Canada.
*The Stanley Cup made a surprise visit to the hospital where the survivors of the Humboldt Broncos bus crash are recovering, and it was certainly a welcomed visitor.
*Sean Avery going after Dave Portnoy, who was trolling people with his hockey tweets, was certainly an entertaining diversion during last night’s hockey playoff action. I think “tool bag” probably most aptly describes Avery trying to stay relevant as a washed up hockey player.
*Even the Nashville catfish is getting into the swing of the “Pekka Rinne for Vezina” campaign by wearing a T-shirt on the ice.

*Larry Brooks thinks that Scott Stevens would be the right kind of head coaching leader for a New York Rangers team that needs a new voice.
*For something completely different: The ride with Gabe Kapler as the manager of the Philadelphia Phillies has been a wild one already.
