Seguin and Eriksson Traded in Seven Player Deal

By -
July 4th seems to been a one with plenty of fireworks in Massachussets as today it was announced that Tyler Seguin, the Boston Bruins number 2 pick of 2010 has been traded along with Rich Peverley and defensemen Ryan Button have been traded to the Dallas Stars for forward Loui Eriksson and three prospects Joseph Morrow , Reilly Smith and Matt Fraser . This trade my come to a surprise to many Bruins fans as Seguin has been highly rated during his time at the TD Garden and currently his career stats currently stand at 56 goals and 121 points in 203 career games. Though on reflection for a second overall pick his career has begun at a rather slow pace and during the playoffs he hit the back of the net only once, but recorded the second highest shot total with 70 shots! But for a flagging team like Dallas, this could well be a major score and at only 21 Seguin could well re-ignite this franchise which is in dire need of goals after a season to forget last year.

This Week In Sport

By -
Here's some stories and thoughts from the world of sport this week. Baseball The San Francisco Giants only went and won the World Series for the third time in five years. Congratulations San Francisco. Hockey Detroit Red Wings legend and Hall of Famer Gordie Howe suffered a significant stroke on Sunday while staying with his daughter in Texas.

Luckily for the 'Canes (and fans hoping to cash in on that free BoBerry biscuit), the team has a few games against division rivals Columbus soon, another team that seems happy to give points away. Washington goalie Braden Holtby might not be having much success on the ice, but his beard is top-notch. We also learnt a lot about P.K. Subban's intense personal groomi...

Welcome to the Fifth Liners book club, the first in a hopefully regular series of book reviews. The book: Catalyst (Star Wars): A Rogue One Novel Written by: James Luceno Format: Audiobook (read by Jonathan Davis) Aside from the (non-canon) comics in the Lego magazine, I've never delved into the written world of Star Wars before. There have been Star Wars books for as at least as long as the films (the first was released in 1976 as far as I can tell), and these books ranged from novelisations of the movies through to completely original stories. These stories, published under the Expanded Universe banner, covered pretty much every time period possible, including subjects covered in Catalyst. In 2014, the Expanded Universe was rebranded as Legends, and now only content produced after 2014 is considered canon. The movies and Clone Wars cartoon/film are also canon, for obvious reasons. By wiping the historical slate, it opened the door for new stories and movies to be ma...
