7/23/09 – Morning Links

With the new website, I thought it might be nice in the dog days of summer to restart the morning links posts.  There will be a bit of a new format, but I’m sure you’ll catch on.

Wild Links

• Russo is reporting that the Wild have signed a couple minor leaguers.  Nathan Smith and Ryan Lannon.  If, like me, you have absolutely no idea who these players are, click on the links and check them out.
• The 3rd Intermission is reporting that the Aeros will sign Brandon Buck.  Not to devalue the AHL at all…But you know it’s the middle of the summer when you get excited about signings like this.
• More from T3I, as Ms. Conduct has a look at the current Aeros roster.
• And finally…The Wild have officially launched their own web browser — Boom.  So you can pretty much the comment made a few links earlier and apply it here as well.

Other Links

• Our friend Justin Bourne has a new blog up at The Hockey News about the summer grind.  As always, good stuff.
• Martin Biron has signed a one-year, $1.4M deal with the New York Islanders.  Three proven NHL starters on their roster?  Things are looking up on the Island.
• Interesting stuff from Ansar Khan.  Apparently Hossa had his injury before signing in Detroit.
• A pretty cool look at power skating by Scott Cruikshank.
• Five for Fighting has a player profile on Brendan Morrow up.
• The always insightful Mirtle has an interesting story up about the KHL wooing players away from the NHL.
• Cycle Like the Sedins is re-drafting the league.  Ovie to the Flames?  Lundqvist to the Bolts?  Cats and dogs, living together in perfect harmony?  Mass hysteria!
• And finally, a myHockeyBuzz blog.  Martin Biron v. Patrick Lalime?  Interesting stuff.
