30 Notes

from Elliotte Friedman of CBC, 1. Steve Yzerman meets with his Olympic selection committee – Holland, Doug Armstrong, Kevin Lowe – this week. I don’t understand how anyone not named Marc-Andre Fleury could be Canada’s starting goaltender. He deserves the first chance to play. 2. Ken Holland told The Calgary Herald he will propose banning hits to the head from the blind side. But, if the player is coming head-on, responsibility is on the puck carrier. Basically, Mike Richards gets a penalty (David Booth), while Willie Mitchell doesn’t (Jonathan Toews). 3. This is an interesting idea, and I’d love to hear the debate. But let me remind you once again, there are a lot of players and executives who agreed that Richards deserved no penalty and blamed Booth for having his head down. read on plus other topics too…
