Hickey, 19, had a nice season for Tri-City in the U.S. Hockey League this year with 15 goals and 16 assists in 55 games.

Bandgeek, yeah, I guess. Game 4 was much more indicative of how I thought this series would play out. I wanted a sweep, but at least they played better than they did in Game 4 in New York. Philly better not bitch about the officials after this one. Happy belated birthday, Mrs. A.

Makes you wonder about the numbers other US markets pull down. Also, Hockeytown has been ripped for the empty seats but clearley interest remains high.

I've read stuff about the Flames needing to find a new home for Tanguay in order to make Langkow work under the cap, so it's possible that's holding up anything official. Regardless, I wouldn't get any hopes up. Heh, good catch Goody–not intended either. :-)
