A measurement procedure was approved during the Olympic break and took effect on Feb. 28, with the addendum that any team that had three shooters disqualified for using an illegal stick would lose a turn in the shootout.
The first player caught was Jaromir Jagr of the New York Rangers, and he was actually nabbed twice in a game against Atlanta: he was penalized during overtime for using an excessively curved blade, and was prohibited from taking a turn in the shootout when officials found that his replacement stick also was illegal.
...
Despite a difficult season marred by his team's fade, the deaths of his mother and grandmother and the alleged involvement of pal Rick Tocchet in an illegal gambling operation, Wayne Gretzky wants to coach the Coyotes again next season.
...
The Nassau Coliseum, home of the Islanders since 1972, suffered an estimated $1 million in damage over the weekend when a sewage pipe burst, destroying the team's weight room and flooding the locker room. Repairs aren't likely to be complete by the next home game on March 21.
Fill in your own punch line about which stinks more, the Islanders or their arena.
