Morning Skate: Ex-Bruin Morrow fires away at Habs

Share

Here are all the links from around the hockey world, and what I’m reading, while T-ball season has officially begun in the city of Newton.

*Joe Morrow signed as a free agent with the Montreal Canadiens and then he ripped them this week after getting traded to the Jets during the season. The story is originally in French, but the translation I read blasted Claude Julien for not trusting him as a player and blasted Marc Bergevin for criticizing the character in the Montreal dressing room when Morrow said the GM never actually showed up or talked to the players. Nothing like seeing a first-round bust and marginal NHL player burning those bridges, baby! It is, however, further confirmation that many players chafed under Julien’s rigid coaching style.

*It’s gut check time for the Tampa Bay Lightning as they’ve now fallen 0-2 to the Washington Capitals with the Eastern Conference Final headed to the nation's capital.

*If there’s one player that’s changed his standing in the NHL in this postseason it is Mark Schiefele, who is dominating for the Winnipeg Jets. He’s going from a very good young player to an NHL superstar right before our eyes.

*It’s an important draft for the Detroit Red Wings, who have fallen out of the playoff picture and need an infusion of youthful talent.

*Vegas Golden Knights goalie Marc-Andre Fleury welcomes your playoff taunts, you guys. So keep them coming in Winnipeg.

*For something completely different: So why the heck wouldn’t the Star Wars people give Donald Glover his own movie as a young Lando Calrissian? I’d definitely watch it.
