Hopefully White's all right and the wheel of justice accidentally gets it right.

I liked that the announcing team seemed so certain the game-winning goal would be scored from "the front of the net." You mean it won't be a pass from behind the net that deflects in? Brave call!

Not sure where else to post this, but it's a great story.

When the Albany River Rats packed up their pucks and sticks to move to Charlotte, N.C., dedicated 11-year-old fan Zach Bennett told his parents he wanted to make the move, too.

The Bennetts agreed to the 700-mile move and put their house on the market, but it didn't sell. After months of waiting, the hockey team -- now called the Charlotte Checkers -- decided it couldn't leave its beloved fan behind. They bought a new house in Charlotte and gave the Bennetts the keys.

Zack "Bug" Bennett suffers from neurofibromatosis 1, a genetic disorder that affects his nervous system, which has led to the amputation of both his legs. But through his illness he has developed an exceptionally close relationship with the team.

Here's Stoll's hit that's being looked at by the NHL:

My guess, it's the playoffs so nothing!

I couldn't believe there was no call. When I noticed no one was going to the box, I told my buddy "Here comes a fight."

Stoll gets a game. Probably because of the no-call.

I wonder if that forces them into bringing Schenn up, at least for that game.

Is it worth burning up a year of his contract *just* for one game? Well, I mean I guess they'd have to use him for the rest of the playoffs then... but still, is it that dire of a situation that you want to burn his contract up quicker?

If it was called, they would have said he was punished enough.

Funny there was nothing for Demers' superman impression. They probably didn't care because it was Ryan Smyth getting hit.

He actually has 2 games left before its burned. McKenzie says the Kings don't really care about that but I don't buy it. The bigger issue is throwing him in to an NHL playoff game when he hasn't been playing at anywhere near NHL caliber talent for months.
