The NHL’s stars of the week are sometimes silly.

PHF Roundup: Season Eight, Week Ten | The Victory Press
Meanwhile, the PHF’s All-Star Game could definitely stand to be a little more on the lighthearted side. It’s a perfect place for gimmicks and frivolity as well as more game-styled talent.

NHL superstar roundtable — Changing playoffs, next expansion teams | ESPN
The highlight of this was definitely a reporter asking a bunch of NHL players, some of whom aren’t even from North America and all of whom grew up dedicating their lives to playing sports, which cities that don’t already have one that they think should get a NHL team.

Golden Knights’ Stone not certain to return from injury this season | Sportsnet
I think it would actually be very funny if a NHL team staff member told a reporter, on the record, that a player would definitely for sure be returning from LTIR once the salary cap was no longer a factor.

Philadelphia Flyers season-ticket holders needed a personal letter from the head coach to tell them that the team isn’t making Flyers fans happy?

The NCAA picture seems to be coming into focus.

Is the man bionic?

Women in Hockey: Manon Rheaume | NHL.com
Rhéaume mentioning in passing that she was a competitive alpine skier only to provide absolutely no further information on her multi-athletic career, what drove her to pursue hockey, how often she had to choose between the two, whether either helped her with the other in any weird way… Get back here!
