After a busy few days, I'm back into the flow of things so here's tonights Ice Scoopz,
*-> Brian Kilrea has officially retired from coaching after the Niagra Ice Dog's eliminated the Ottawa 67's in overtime of game 7 tonight. Andrew Agozzini scored 13 seconds into overtime to eliminate the 67's. Brian Kilrea will hang over the clipboard and take a seat in the office next season as the 67's GM. Kilrea who has coached teams to 3 OHL titles and 2 Memorial Cup wins never really got a break coaching in NHL except as the Islanders assistant before being fired. Being from Ottawa this is huge news as Kilrea's a local legend and one of the most approachable guys in the business. There was allways time for the fans and to talk hockey no matter what. Great guy despite his "Killer" moniker.
*-> The Toronto Maple Leaf's have signed centerman Christian Hansen of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish to a two year entry level contract. An interesting fact Christian Hansen is the son of Dave Hansen of the Hanson Brothers from the movie Slapshot.
*-> Tonight after losing 5-2 to the Florida Panthers, the Ottawa Senator's have finally been eliminated from the playoffs. They needed atleast 1 point tonight to stay in the hunt. Toronto also has been eliminated from the playoffs after Montreal won tonight.
That's all for tonight, tomorrow I'll do a run down of the CHL, SM Liiga and SEL playoffs as well as an I.R Report. for those of you asking about the Deadline review I've decided to post it after the last game of the season to show who has had the biggest impacts on their teams. As of right now I'm still sticking with the Flames though. Jokinen has been a force since arriving from the desert.
Thanks for all the comments guys keep em going, tell me what you guys want to see on here and what needs to be changed. Any feedback even if negative is appreciated because I want to make this the best damn hockey resource out there.
