Very cool piece from the NHL Network. Round 2 with players like Alzner, Carlson, Knuble and Hendricks wired up for sound. I hate the ending, but it is very cool to watch. I suggest it, if you can stomach it.

If you have 15 minutes to kill today - I suggest you listen to this entire interview with Brooks Laich. He was solid gold. Amazing stuff in there about Matt Hendricks as well.

It would be hard to believe that the Washington Capitals wouldn’t have a tough time nursing themselves back to life after a loss like Monday night - as the New York Rangers forced overtime on a late third period power-play goal (think seven seconds left in the game late) and settled the bill only minutes later in overtime, resulting in a 3-2 Rangers final. “You...
