- The effect of aging on NHL forwards, or Never Trust a Winger over 30. [Arctic Ice Hockey]
- Whoa. Ryan Clowe is still on the Devils. I totally forgot about him. Looks like someone is a buyout candidate. [ILWT]
- Antoine Vermette and his wife had a baby girl less than a week after he won the Stanley Cup, and that lucky kid got to sit in the coolest high chair ever. [NHL.com]
