Vokoun Out Indefinitely

By -
The Pittsburgh Penguins are going to be without Tomas Vokoun after the Czech goalie was taken to hospital with what turned out to be a blood clot in his thigh.

Vokoun, who played 20 games last season had surgery and is expected to stay in hospital for a few days.

We both wish him a speedy recovery.

Division Shake Up: What to Look For

By -
As Mike's previous two post pointed out, the NHL will be a very different place come the 2013-14 season with the Eastern and Western conference have undergone a dramatic re-alignment and now it has become far more simplied with the East sporting two separate divisions with the Atlantic and Metropolitan Divisions and the West also having two divisions with the Pacific and Central Division. With new leagues come new rivalrys are long gone are the days of the dull Southwestern Division and sadly Vancouver will not fight for a sixth straight Northwest Division. But what will the big match ups be? Let's take a look in more detail. Atlantic Division  This division promises plenty of thrills with the Detroit Red Wings , Boston Bruins , Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens doing battle for a playoff place- there is no love lost between Leafs and Habs fans and this fixture never fails to entertain.

Erat Wants Out Of Washington

By -
It seems that Washington's Czech fourth-liner isn't happy and wants out of the nation's capital. A few years ago Erat was the Nashville Predator's starting right winger, terrorising defences across the length and breadth of the NHL. But those days are gone, Erat was traded to the Washington Capitals in the 2013 trade deadline after waiving his no-trade clause and asking to move. It seems though that the grass is not always greener and Erat revealed to the Czech press (and subsequently the local press) that he's unhappy and wants to move on. "It's time for me to move on."

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...
