Here are all the links from around the hockey world, and what I’m reading while getting ready for Celtics/Warriors tonight on CSN New England with a special hour-long pregame kicking off at 7 p.m.
*FOH (Friend of Haggs) Mark Divver catches up with some Providence College alums living out the dream at the NHL level.
*The Hamburglar doesn’t want to go down to the AHL with the Binghamton Senators, but the numbers aren’t exactly backing up that stance.
*A great piece from Stan Grossfeld, who paid a visit to former Bruins center Marc Savard to talk about his NHL career cut short and the coaching he’s doing these days.
*James Reimer is enjoying his NHL career again with a renewed purpose with the Florida Panthers after some tough years in Toronto.
*If it’s Lambert that means it’s a listicle: this one is eight must-read reasons why we shouldn’t worry about the Auston Matthews scoring slump. I can sum it up for you without reading the article: he’s really, really good. At least it’s not about Pokemon this time.
*Speaking of scoring slumps, Evgeny Kuznetsov is off to a slow start with the Washington Capitals and there’s optimism things will turn around there as well.
Boston Bruins
*For something completely different: Good piece from FOH (Friend of Haggs) Billy Burt after speaking with some of Tom Brady’s family members.
