With one more game remaining in pool play, Slovakia’s Richard Panik is tied with seven other players for 14th place with a goal and six assists. Nothing else to it.”Panik is 1 for 5 in NHL career shootout attempts, but he’s not sure he would ever try that shootout move he used against Norway in an NHL game.With a simple tweet announcing the arrival of a piano, Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay set off a firestorm of speculation.“There’s still days when my back isn’t the best so I try to walk the course, rather than getting up and down from a golf cart, and that seems to help,” he said. He’ll likely go on LTIR again (80% savings, insurance covers rest). It’s August 22nd, it’s summer time and the living is easy. Well… not if you’re Dave Bolland evidently.
Lööke is returning to Sweden where he will play for Timrå IK.“I knew I could score a goal like that,” Panik said in an email interview. After he won the world junior, he went back again to the class to show them his gold medal.”Long before the Rupert twins came along, Bolland lived his second and third seasons with the Hunters and best buddy Dylan.As much as the Memorial Cup win is special, the Knights hold dear the following season in 2005-06, when Bolland, Rob Shremp, Dylan and Adam Dennis led the club back to the OHL final.“He still calls me every day to talk about what’s going on with the Knights,” Hunter said. That was my home for six or seven years. He also scored an absolutely filthy shootout goal in an exhibition game against Norway.Bolland spent last season helping out as an extra coach for the London Knights, with whom he played four seasons and won a Memorial Cup in 2005. “It’s gonna be a busy summer. I would love to go back and work for the Hawks; do anything for them whether it’s in the community or on the hockey side. The silly speculation will likely get worse, although it’s hard to imagine a rumor as bad as this one. Amirite?Colts owner Jim Irsay reportedly looking to buy 49% of Arizona Coyotes to help secure new Arena.There’s also this fact from the description of Bankers Life Fieldhouse, home of the Indiana Pacers.Here’s the Colts’ response to my request: “Mr. Irsay and his family attended a Coyotes game a few years ago while he was in Arizona for the owners meetings. Bolland was reluctant to wear No. Dave Bolland hasn’t appeared in an NHL game since December 2015 and the reality is the forward may never play again, says agent Anton Thun. Hands up if you expected Dave Bolland of all people to be involved in Marner news reports.Update on Crosby from the Penguins head coach.Confusing updates on the star player…Ah… now it makes sense. My love is for the Blackhawks.”Chayka said it was just a bacterial infection, not an injury, and it was clearing up well.“For now, I’m focusing on the championship,” he said. Um… excuse me!? You can feel the energy in the game. Sigh.The leading Coyotes point producer at the World Championship in Slovakia is not Clayton Keller or Oliver Ekman-Larsson. They had a great experience and he purchased a sweatshirt, which he finds comfortable. It’s arena and ownership season.
While Bolland (ankle, back) is feeling better, there is no expectation he’ll be physically able to play the final year of his contract ($5.5M cap hit) w/the Coyotes.
