Morning Skate: Chiarelli feeling the heat in Edmonton

Share

Here are all the links from around the hockey world, and what I’m reading while it’s, "game on!" tonight at TD Garden.  

*It sounds like Peter Chiarelli knows the heat is on him to get the Edmonton Oilers back into the playoffs next season. Boy, that pressure cooker is building in Oil City.

*Speaking of Chiarelli, he also still very much believes in Milan Lucic. Which I hope he should given the contract he signed him to a couple of years ago.

*A piece in the San Jose Mercury News about whether or not Evander Kane deserves his bad boy rep. I don’t know him so I can’t say firsthand, but I’d say there’s enough smoke there for it to be true.

*Pro Hockey Talk discusses whether or not the Montreal Canadiens dressing room needs an attitude adjustment. I’d say that might be something to explore.

*Taylor Hall is embracing a star, leadership role with the New Jersey Devils after finding it hard to get that kind of traction in Edmonton.

*For something completely different: Eight awesome women from the comics are a good way to start your Thursday.
