Running around too much today to catch my flight to Pittsburgh and see my new niece, so it'll be short and sweet...

YESTERDAY'S SCORES:  Was 6 - NYR 5 (12 in a row for the Caps); Mon 3 - Bos 2 (SO); Dal 1 - Clb 2; Van 1 - Ott 3 (11 in a row for the Sens); NYI 2 - TB 5; SJ 4 - StL 2; Col 3 - Nsh 5; Edm 2 - Min 4; Ana 4 - LAK 6 (will the Kings please lose?)

So apparently there was some big trade or something yesterday?  Travis has the details below...yay no Kovy for the Kings.  Some moves from the Coyotes yesterday:

Just a good site with the ins and outs of the Olympics from the NHL....unfortunately, no Keith Yandle.  I have to imagine he makes the team in 2014 if the pros are involved.

Finally, as many of you know I am a big Flyers fan in addition to my Coyotes love.  This article captures one of the great moments in my Flyers fandom and truly is what I think we all love about hockey in general.  Sami Kapanen's heroic play to get off the ice while play continued and the Flyers end up clinching their playoff series over Toronto - this is just a great read:
