Yeah, an updated report states that they'll likely be renamed the Arizona Coyotes following this agreement.

I....I don't know what to feel right now. I love Vinny but 5 years for 4.5 per.... I don't think the Flyers understand that you need defense and goaltending to win championships. Playing 6-5 games may work against.teams like the Pens, but that doesn't work against teams that actually understand what you really need to win. I think the Pens get that they need defense, they just made some miscalculations with defense (thought they could wait a little bit for a lot of their young prospects... and Depres was not as ready as they had hoped). But it may be time to pull the trigger on Flower.

it's 4-3 vote in favor of keeping the Coyotes in Glendale where they only belong because Bettman's a stubborn moron and Winnipeg already got their team back. fixed for accuracy. I'll be honest, if I'm a taxpayer in Glendale I'd be pretty sickened that my tax money is going towards funding the financial black hole that is the Phoenix Coyotes. and here I was with all my Seattle Starbucks hockey merch raring to go

I'm actually amazed that the city of Glendale passed the deal. Maybe the Coyotes can get a fanbase and some decent management now.

The NHL just released its end of the season All-Star teams as voted by the Professional Hockey Writers Association. It was not the PHWA's finest moment and you will see why. Presented without comment, here are the teams.
NOTE: I have not made any errors here. This actually happened.
First Team:
G - Sergei Bobrovsky, CBJ
D - PK Subban, MTL
D - Ryan Suter, MIN
C - Sidney Crosby, PIT
RW - Alex Ovechkin, WAS
LW - Chris Kunitz, PIT
Second Team:
G - Henrik Lundqvist, NYR
D - Francois Beauchemin, ANA
D - Kris Letang, PIT
C - Jonathan Toews, CHI
RW - Martin St. Louis, TB
LW - Alex Ovechkin, WAS

Taylor Hall has the biggest gripe here - he was third in votes for Left Wingers.

Good to see Ovechkin cloned himself

Also, interesting to note that the NHL sent a memo to the PHWA to specifically tell them that Ovechkin is a RW.

Shouldn't the NHL say that doesn't make sense and give Taylor Hall the default vote in? It's like if Lundqvist got the 2nd most amount of votes for center should they veto it? Also seriously how many PWHA members actually watch hockey? At least it's nice to see Beaucheman get some love since I believed he deserved a Norris nomination over Letang

Ottawa Sun reporting that the Bruins have been in contact with Daniel Alfredsson.
As much as I hate the Sens, I'd feel sick seeing Alfie in any other uniform.

Actually it may have only cost him 50,000 dollars. oilersnation.com/2013/7/3/the-player-so-nice-they-named-him-twice(Twitter pictures are on the link I don't know how to post twitter messages on FAN that isn't a IMG) Also Patrick Kane, St. Louis, and Dupuis recieved votes for the LW when they play RW.

Ovechkin thing aside, did they get the other 10 players right for the 1st and 2nd All-Star teams?

That's kind of hilarious. Similar things happened to Ilya Kovalchuk and James Neal in the past, though they were a few votes shy of being in both the first and second teams.

Here's all the results. Including Ryan Getzlaf, Girioux being on the right wing. Nabokov getting a 1st place vote. Also Rick Nash, Patrick Kane, James Neal, Pascal Dupuis, and Martin St. Louis got votes for both wings.

Canada's coach in the 2013 WJHC Steve Spott has resigned as the coach and GM of the Kitchener Rangers to become the head coach of the Toronto Marlies. Nice hire by the Leafs.

You're going to feel the effects of missing Dallas Eakins! I don't know that was the most embarrassing Canadian WJHC team ever especially on how they were the lockout all star dream team.

Jarett Stoll has been hospitalized with a seizure. Good news is he's going to be released today. I just hope his history of concussion isn't the cause of this and this isn't the end of how career
