  • The Sound Tigers won a wild game versus Springfield on Sunday, coming back from a two-goal deficit to win 4-3 in overtime. Anders Lee scored twice, including the game winner, just to torture you. He knows what you're thinking. He might be standing outside your window right now, staring at you with a smoldering intensity, silently mouthing the words, "call up... call up..." [Sound Tigers | Soundin' Off on the win and the return of Aaron Ness]
  • Jimmy Murphy of XN Sports says Johnny Boychuk is exactly what the Islanders need on and off the ice.
  • Joshua Ho-Sang had two assists in Windsor's 7-4 loss to Barrie. [Spitfires]

Around the NHL

  • Word is that unsigned free agent Daniel Alfredsson is leaning towards retirement, which would make Senators fans re-re-evaluate his place in the team's history. [Silver Seven]
  • Congrats to Minnesota for finally being awarded an outdoor game in 2030. Took a long time and a lot of teams to get it done. [Battle of California]
  • Bonus BOC: Sharks fan Stace_OfBase talks about the passion and generosity of Rangers fans.
  • Winging it in Motown busts open a shocking hockey question: what does Phil Kessel do for a living?

I bet even an old tough-as-nails defenseman like grandpa would appreciate this (please ignore the BucciBabble).
