Quick Strikes and Links for Tuesday July 29

I hope everyone enjoyed the mad-dash start to the off-season in late June and on July 1st. The fact the off-season is so intolerable is partially in thanks to that (NHL awards, NHL draft and the start of NHL free agency with it’s get-it-done-in-a-few-hours pace, all taking place within a week’s time). But we endure, we survive, we go on.

This is an open thread, so comment as you please.
