2 Big games tonight, thanks to all those who've sent me links so I'm able to watch.
*-> The New Jersey Devils have signed their 54th pick in last years draft to an entry level deal. Defenseman Eric Gelinas of Chicoutimi of the Q. The Devils have also signed defenseman free agent Dan Kelly of the Kitchener Rangers. Kelly went undrafted and is in his final year in the OHL.
*-> Denis Seidenberg wishes to remain in Boston next season he's told the Boston media this week. Seidenberg was acquired in a deal from the Florida Panthers at the deadline this year. It's rumored that the Bruins would love to keep him in the fold as long as his price is right.
*-> Speaking of former Carolina Hurricane defensemen. Anton Babchuk is extremely close to re-signing with the Carolina Hurricanes after a year in the KHL. Babchuk was just starting to show potential with Hurricanes before a contract dispute and the Hurricanes decided to go in a different direction. It's been report the two partys have both been in contract about a return all season long. This week Jim Rutherford has admitted to be close to a deal.
*-> Detroit Red Wing prospect Tomas Tatar has had a decent World Championship scoring 2 goals and a penalty shot while playing on the 4th line. It's not gone unnoticed as SKA St. Petersberg of the KHL has been rumored to have offered the youngster a high paying deal. St. Petersberg owns Tatars rights as they drafted him 15th overall in the 2009 KHL draft. Red Wings management has said Tatar plans to return the Grand Rapids Griffins next season.

Any thoughts on the WCs Scoopz? Canada's humiliating showing? Germany's surprising victories?
For the Canada thing, I have to put a lot of blame on MacT. Too much time playing grab-ass in the TSN studio, hes become soft.
Maybe Messier's team was too gritty with not enough finish. I did love seeing Ott and Perry agitate, but that obviously isnt as effective at this tournament as it is in North America.
Too be honest Tom I've barely had a chance to watch any of the World Championships. I checked out maybe 3 games since I arrived in the UK.
From what I saw and read of Canada that seams to be the case Tom. It seams Canada neglected finish and age to compete. What makes matters worse many of these teams have used B lineups to compete as well. The Russians however stacked themselves.
