Twitter / Kevin Allen: Petr Sykora had 3 NHL team ... - Not only did Kevin Allen break the Kovalchuk trade, but he had this before everyone else, too. Sykora, done for the year.
Final News:
Why did I put this last? Because, this is important stuff. THis is one of the Wild's top prospects. Sad.
QMJHL suspends Scandella indefinitely for head shot - He can hope the league sees it as a different hit from Cormier, but with the crackdown, I have my doubts.
L'Avantage votre journal - L'oc - French article, but the picture is the aftermath of the elbow.
FYI, per Russo, the Wild organization will not make an attempt to move Scandella to the AHL if the suspension is for the rest of the season.
Quite a bit to digest, folks. Oh, and Kovalchuk was traded. But if you can;t find news about that, you just aren't alive.

Scandella
When I first heard about that I hoped it was just a borderline hit, but there wasn’t anything borderline about that.
Holy $hit
That hit is about as brutal as any I’ve seen this year (didn’t see the Cormier hit). He absolutely deserves as stiff a penalty as any handed out in the AHL.
Indeed. QMJHL. AHL has tradition of honoring those suspensions, though.
PP is kind of new to all this, if I remember correctly. QMJHL is the Qubec Major Junior Hockey League, and is part of the CHL, or Canadian Hockey League. Young guys, usually under 20.
I'm a college hockey fan
so that’s not my stance but the CHL is the way for the best to get to the show the fastest unless you’re so good it doesn’t matter ie. Jonathan Toews, Phil Kessel, etc. But sometimes the role players who go there don’t end up with a hockey career or an education.
