Sources say Flyers have signed Del Zotto to one year deal

Yep, done deal. Timmonen will have a minimum of 6 months of treatment for the blood clots, so it's likely he is done for the season. I expect he will retire now. No point taking chances with something like this.

Congrats to Brian Rafalski!

Not bad for a guy who was "too small" to make it in the NHL!

I hope he does, and not for hockey reasons. That stuff is scary as all get out. The fact that he had a few in the lungs is just...nope. Don't risk it man. Going to have to be on blood thinners for awhile, and even after that the risk remains high. Stroke and pulmonary embolism. He's had a very good career, I just hope that he knows that and can keep things in perspective. I feel the same way about Vokoun. Didn't really want him pushing it after that diagnosis last year.

Yep, last thing he needs is to risk a concussion or something if he is prone to blood clots. I really like him as a player and he's been great on the Flyers but it just isn't worth it at 39 to mess with this. If I were him, I'd stay home in Finland and sit back and enjoy whatever he can find to do there.

Was he trying to punch his teammate?

Stars owner Tom Gaglardi was convicted of violating Canadian federal environmental laws Thursday, but he was reportedly distracted by something else during his trial.

Gaglardi was found guilty on two counts of harmful alteration of fish habitat in Kamloops provincial court in Kamloops, British Columbia.

Although he was on trial, Gaglardi reportedly had other things on his mind, including his hockey team over 2,000 miles away.

Kamloops This Week reported that during the trial, Gaglardi spent much of his time working in a notebook "alternating between notes on the proceedings, Northland business and what appeared to be line combinations for the Dallas Stars."

The report also said Gaglardi was asked to turn his iPhone off multiple times by sheriffs and at one point concealed his phone in his notebook.

Mike Lange sounds like he is at times. NHL Network.

I had forgotten how much I liked McEachern.

The other ref is holding down the Ducks player that limp wrist Demers was trying to punch. You can see his white Jersey between the players.

Although Thornton could use an as kicking after the debacle in the last playoffs.
