Playoff Postponements
The assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. forced the postponement of three series games during the quarterfinal rounds of the 1968 Stanley Cup playoffs. Match-ups between the New York Rangers and Chicago Blackhawks, St. Louis Blues and Philadelphia Flyers, and Minnesota North Stars and Los Angeles Kings were delayed by a minimum of two days.
yo, why tho?The league held its inaugural Miss NHL pageant, crowning the former Miss Minnesota North Stars, Lynn Marie Stewart (she’s one of three women to hold the title—the idea quickly fizzled).
My issue with Weekes is that he's a media guy trying to go directly to GM. He can say the right things, but what does he have to show? Bills Zito and Armstrong check the boxes.Possibly, but I'd say he dodged a bullet on both of those jobs. Hope he gets something better soon!

Maple Leafs winger Darcy Tucker fed the puck to Shayne Corson, who snuck a shot past the goalie to help seal a 6-3 win over the Phoenix Coyotes.
The men were more than just teammates; they were brothers-in-law and confidants who formed a pair that fellow Leafs called Brother Love, and their connection ran deep. A day before that Dec. 11, 2001 game, Tucker wired $32,000 to an account with a U.K. brokerage and joined Corson in investing in the risky world of foreign currency trading.
Their gambit scuffled in the early years, with Tucker and Corson each declaring millions of dollars in business losses.
But that was part of the plan, according to the Canada Revenue Agency.
The high-profile players’ investments were actually a tax sham designed to minimize the CRA’s cut of the millions they made from their NHL salaries, the tax agency alleges.
...
In court filings, Tucker and Corson deny the CRA’s allegations, saying the trades were real and were legitimately done with the intention to make money through currency speculation. Both men say their currency trading yielded a profit in subsequent years, and the income was reported and taxed.

Now reported Hornqvist learned of the trade from media reports before he was asked to waive his no-trade clause and his Penguins teammates were angry about the trade.
On Friday, Hornqvist told the Florida media, including our sister site Florida Hockey Now, that he decided to accept the trade when he learned “Pittsburgh didn’t want me…”
It's good for viewers too. They'll be forced to listen to viewers if another channel is doing it better.Sports media observers believe NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman wants to split the league’s TV and digital rights among multiple media partners — like the NFL, NBA, and MLB do — to maximize rights fees.
