Since it's St. Paddy's Day, you get to read a Rink classic - the Top 10 Patricks in NHL History.
Recaps of last night's loss at the WaPo and WaTi.
Alex Ovechkin for Hart? Frankly, I don't know that it's a done deal. [Toronto Sun]
AO is the tenth nicest player to ever lace 'em up in the NHL. Allllrighty then. [NHL Outsider]
This is one hell of a list, even if it doesn't have Dale Hunter on it. [Illegal Curve]
The first batch of weekly power ratings are out with the Caps up three to fifth at The Hockey News, up one to fifth at Sportsnet.ca, holding at fourth at CBSSports.com, holding at fifth at TSN.ca, holding at third at ESPN.com, and chilling at fifth at SportingNews.com.

The Saskatoon Blades celebrated their regular-season achievements during Sunday’s awards banquet at Dakota Dunes.

Did you ever see Dakota Dunes’ movie? That chick is hot.

My only beef with that top 20 playoff goals list (other than Hunter’s omission) is Desjardins’ goal against LA in the 93 finals. I can still hear Bob Cole’s voice in my head…

DEJSARDAANNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Cole because he gets excited without being douchey (see Jeanerret, Rick).

Speaking of him, “May Day” should probably be on this list too…

That Fleury celebration brought back some memories. So did the LaFontaine/Nedved goals, but not in a good way.

Cole’s call on the TYING goal in that game from Desjardins was great too. I love his random inflections on words

“They HAVE……tied it!!!!!!!!”

Bob Cole = awesome

Hunter should be on that list. He’s the only player to score two OT winners in ultimate series games, scoring for Quebec in 1982 in OT in game 5 (Opening round was best of 5 back then) and of course in 1988 here in Washington. No one else has ever done that…

Re Hart: I don’t think it’s a done deal and in fact I see it slipping away a little. The Conn Smythe would be better anyway.
