NHL Players on the Bubble

By Debbie Elicksen over at NBCSports.com,
Being on the bubble isn’t about the table-top boards being fought over in half of hockey fans’ basements. It’s not the Missouri 2007 national bubble hockey championships being hosted by the St. Louis Blues.
Life on the bubble is the stark reality for about 80 percent of NHL players. It means you can be sent up or down to and from the minors at any given moment, no questions asked. You may not even know why. You make a mistake on the ice, you think, is this going to be my last shift in the game? On the team?
Continued. (Plus a rookie initiation story involving Eric Lindros, Fred Brathwaite, and running naked through an Oshawa shopping mall. Ahh… the good old days before the concussions.)
