Luke Schenn took the first non-driveway hockey shootout attempt of his life last night and wound up with the game-winning goal, sparking yet another flurry of media speculation as to whether he can make the Leafs roster out of camp this year.
In addition to the many recaps of last night’s 4-3 SO victory over the Blues, there is yet another rumour of RIM’s Balsillie being poised to purchase the Preds (quickly denied) as well as various reports of goings-on around the NHL.
