Sunday’s Dump & Chase: Promise of Rain

It’s a bit of a desert right now, but more news is coming, and there are rumors of storm surges on the way.

Benn, Seguin are still Dallas Stars under the most pressure | ProHockeyTalk
Yeah, but the team is probably going to keep upper management away from hot mics this year, so it won't be nearly as much fun. Also, I gotta say, Tyler Seguin played very well last season.

Goalies elsewhere across the Metropolitan Division just cringed.

The entire city of New York is angry right now and most of them don’t even know why.

Q&A with Finland’s Susanna Tapani | The Ice Garden
Susanna Tapani has medaled for Finland in three different sports. That is beyond ridiculous. I don't know what ringette is, but now I need to know.

...Okay, according to Wikipedia "the game objective [of ringette] is to outscore the opposing team." Thanks. (Seems to be similar to hockey, but with a ring instead of a puck, and stricter rules about who can do what where on the ice/court.)

Storm Surge could be back for Hurricanes, Foegele says | NHL.com
Gosh I hope so. It was fun, it was totally harmless, the fans enjoyed it, the team apparently enjoyed it, and it made Don Cherry really angry--what more can anyone ask of anything in hockey?
