A Swiss Examination
I'll never turn down an opportunity to watch a Spengler Cup game since the teams that play at that tournament always have players that I had forgotten were still playing. That's not to say that I didn't expect them to be playing, but statistics and results from the Swiss National League aren't posted on SportsCentre. The Spengler Cup always features the host HC Davos team who always seems to have a former NHL player on their roster, but the Fribourg-Gottéron team that is joining them as the se...

Scenes From Morning Skate: What isn’t happening tonight?
There isn’t much debate about which game matters most on Tuesday night’s NHL schedule.
