Our morning notes include a bushel full of goals by the Milwaukee Admirals last night, and multiple updates from across the water. While the NHL continues to waste time squabbling over the money in your pocket, Russia's KHL is making gains.
The KHL will feature a game on ESPN2 tonight that will prove to be an oasis of hockey for NHL fans.
After some initial confusion about their broadcast schedule, the KHL has secured a spot with sports giant ESPN, including a game next week featuring Alex Ovechkin on ESPN2, with Barry Melrose and Steve Levy providing the call.
With the Predators, AK46 was reasonably productive, but that incident during the playoffs burned up whatever goodwill he had built up on the ice.
The KHL rolled out a number of criteria describing the circumstances under which NHL players can come over to their league during a lockout. So which Nashville Predators could make the trip overseas?
Yes, we hockey fans in North America become starved for action during the month of August, but hey, at least there's KHL pre-season action underway!
CSKA of the KHL has made a deal with Salavet Yulaev for Alexander Radulov's KHL rights, clearing the way for a lucrative offer for Rads' return to the Russian league next season. Will he accept, or find his way with another NHL club?
Both the Devils & Coyotes are taking steps towards safeguarding their future.
Was it the right move to bring Rads back for the playoff run? Absolutely. But could it have blown up in more spectacular fashion?
