Marian Hossa: "As soon as I scored a goal, (Quenneville) said I'm done." #Blackhawks

got his 30th

As Morrow noted after Tuesday’s home game, and before the subsequent epidemic of road hits, “We really weren’t severely tested for most of the season. But we’re being tested now.”

Backes remains in a walking boot. Berglund left Friday’s game with an upper-body injury. Oshie did not attend the loss in Dallas and is believed out Sunday. Morrow’s foot is broken, making his return less probable than Backes. This is cruel and unusual for a team that earned its plaudits this season.

good article

Sutch: What we can all learn from Trafford tragedy

Gregg Sutch played in the Ontario Hockey League for five seasons (2008-09 to 2012-13). He finished his career with the Saginaw Spirit, where he was one of Terry Trafford’s linemates. Sutch, 22, was a first-round draft pick in the OHL and a fifth-round pick of the Buffalo Sabres in the 2010 NHL entry draft. He is currently retired from hockey and will be writing on occasion for Yahoo Sports. – Ed., SS

It's been a few days now since Terry Trafford was found dead in his truck, and the tragedy has been replaying over in my head day in and day out. We all know the story of Trafford by now, but that's not what I'm here to write about. What I want to discuss is how we react to this tragedy.

It's pretty clear hockey needs a serious overhaul:

The face of major junior needs major reform.
The way we view hockey players needs to change.
Hockey players need to change the way we see ourselves.

For many of us, the words “I am a hockey player” have become a social stigma. Hockey has become so overwhelming and blown out of proportion that it consumes our lives. We grow up playing hockey and after a while we allow hockey to define us. Hockey becomes who we are. Everything about us is related to hockey - the way we carry ourselves, the way we dress, the way we act and talk. It's become so prevalent that people can pick out hockey players in a crowd. Is that really good anymore?

@TheFourthPeriod: Whispers getting louder in DC. Not confirmed yet, but barring last min change, sounds like Caps GM George McPhee & coach Adam Oates are out.

Twitter saying players let go without any exit interviews with coaches or management. Tough break for Oates, does OV go??

They have tied their franchise to Ovie and has never shown to be a winner...franchise likes the guys with fancy stats but at $9.5 million for next 7 years what team would trade for that? He also will be 29 in September and has played a physical game so I would wonder how durable he will be in 2 or 3 years...
