-- Forget the Stanley Cup, there’s a new trophy in town: “a trophy constructed out of old barn boards and a pair of worn hockey skates, but it’s not really about winning.” It really isn’t—it’s about 30-something men bonding over hockey and dismantled farm structures.
-- May there be a special place in hell for the people who pirated—and have now destroyed?—the East Side Hockey Manager game. But Sports Interactive MD hopes to find a solution eventually.
-- NHL Digest has a rundown on Fred Sasakamoose, the first native hockey player to make the NHL and played for the Chicago Blackhawks. He’s now being inducted into the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame.
-- Anaheim has decided it would be best if January just fu#$ing ended. (I dunno. The rest of the Western Conference rather enjoyed January in Anaheim...)
-- There’s apparently an article in the February 12 edition of ESPN The Magazine, all about an old favorite, Mike Keane: “After 1,161 NHL games and three Stanley Cups, 39-year-old veteran Mike Keane will do anything to keep playing hockey. That includes signing on with the Manitoba Moose.”
-- Finally, there are “zero untouchables” on the Philadelphia Flyers, says Sportsnet. (Well no freakin’ kidding...)

I let the NHL Digest know that the player’s name is spelled incorrectly. I guess I better let you know the name is
Fred Sasakamoose.

Holy hell, it is spelled wrong. Thank you for letting me know.
It’s now corrected.

Sad day for EHM :( Did you ever end up trying out that 6-month trial? I was literally in front of my computer for a solid 8 hours obsessively watching my team tank and completely miss the playoffs. CRACK.
