Around Hockey

Lundqvist won’t play for Capitals this season because of heart condition
Big shock today to learn that Henrik Lundqvist won’t be playing this season and an even bigger shock that it’s due to a heart condition. I certainly wish him all the best to find a resolution and to heal. I would love to see him back one the ice for another year, but at 38 years old, you have to wonder if this is it.

Duclair agrees to one-year contract with Panthers
Anthony Duclair agreed to a one-year contract with the Florida Panthers on Thursday for one year at $1.7M. The move caused one OTFer to pull off the road so he could scream into the void for awhile before forcing himself back to reality. Any guesses which one of us it was?

Holtby issues apology for Canucks mask after First Nations criticism
Braden Holtby seems like the last person who would do something offensive intentionally. However, he issued an apology on Saturday after images of his new goalie mask for the Vancouver Canucks—which featured an Indigenous Thunderbird and was designed by a Swedish artist—sparked calls of cultural appropriation. I appreciate his response; I believe it demonstrates learning and a willingness to change.

I can definitely see the prospect of American teams crossing the border, rife with filthy germs, into the land of much more stringent COVID-19 protocols causing some concerns.

NHL could play all games in U.S. if all-Canadian division can’t work
I wonder there’s any existing hockey-equipped infrastructure in Atlanta…

Jaromir Jagr: Records assist in return to Kladno lineup
Jaromir Jagr continues to play AND continues to produce offense. I remember the good ol’ days of JAGRWATCH, but it seems like the only time we’ll see him on the ice is when this oddball situation plays out…Jagr, the team owner, was about to see his team play one man down, so he laced up the ol’ boots and put in another day at the office.
