Did Justin Schultz really burn his equipment?

Weak return for Kakko. Just Borgen, a 3, and a 6

Disappointing someone didn't try to sneak Kaapo Kahkonen in that deal somehow

went to my first FPHL game this past Saturday in Athens, GA. Athens Rock Lobsters v Columbus (GA) River Dragons. the Rock Lobsters arena is brand-spankin' new. they had to postpone their first few home games because they couldn't get their Certificate of Occupancy from the fire marshal. I think this might be their 3rd or 4th home game? IMO though, $30+ for FPHL is about twice what it should be, especially if you want to attract the college kids.
worst of all though, the staff needs go back to Spelling 101:

it was better than I expected (having previously seen SPHL) and hey, who doesn't love a good line brawl or 3?

Chris Kreider is a healthy scratch today

Looks like that did not help the efforts today.

LOL true dat.

I visited my daughter in upstate NY over the weekend and witnessed back to back games with Binghamton / Danville and also Binghamton / Fraser. I likened it to watching the UHL in years past. Not a lot of talent but they did get into it.

Red Wings fire Lalonde and hire Todd McLellan.

Kinda weird that the holiday roster freeze doesn’t apply to coaches.

Is this mclellan’s 12th team?

Sitting in a restaurant in Mexico City and ESPN 4 is rolling through all the episodes from this series:

So far I've seen outdoor rinks in Patagonia and Robyn Regehr returning to Brazil to help grow the game. Been very interesting and well done.
