  • From the other side of the line - 10 takeaways from Game 3 from a Red Wings writer perspective. [Wings Nation]
  • Objection, your honor! Die hard and devote, informed fans already knew Jon Cooper was a lawyer before getting into coaching hockey. Eh, it looks like I've been overruled by the Associated Press and USA Today. [USA Today (Corrected Link)]
  • Speaking of head coach Cooper, he'd like the Bolts to abate from all the penalties. [Pro Hockey Talk]
  • Steve Yzerman is beloved in Detroit and settled into his role with the Tampa Bay lightning. [Tampa Bay Times]
  • The Deke the Deuce campaign has only reach 4% of its lofty goal. Help in the game against Neurofibromatosis Type II. [Go Fund Me]
  • Time is fading fast on the Syracuse Crunch season-ending auction. Game worn jerseys and more can be bid on. [Syracuse Crunch]
  • It's not like you haven't already seen plenty of rhetoric from the Toronto area about it but... Well, the case to sign Steven Stamkos. A deep look at stats and more. [Pension Plan Puppets]
  • Also on repeat: Le Bleu, Blanc, et Rouge and wondering if the club can afford Stamkos. [Habs Eyes on the Prize]

  • More NHL video review? This having to do with off sides... (autoplay video warning) [Sportsnet]
  • ...And a case against the concept being proposed because of the hypocritical/contradictive element of it: For a league that craves more scoring, this would slow it down. [Puck Daddy]
  • The AHL is gearing up to enter playoff-state now too. Here's recapping the Rockford IceHogs of the past regular season and previewing the Hogs upcoming series with the Lake Erie Monsters. [The Committed Indian]
