CBC adds another Bruin38
Signing analyst Mike Milbury to a multiyear contract rates as Hockey Night in Canada's most important acquisition in years.
The deal — two years plus an option — was announced yesterday after Milbury failed to reach a contract extension with TSN.
In just one NHL season with TSN (and also NBC), Milbury has developed into a top studio analyst, largely by mixing humour with hard-hitting commentary.

Del Biaggio ducked due diligence: report45
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman has been accused of circumventing the league's customary background check on beleaguered William (Boots) Del Biaggio when he purchased a minority stake in the Nashville Predators last fall.
The NHL denies the claim.
According to a report in the Tennessean newspaper, California-based Canadian entrepreneur Doug Bergeron said Del Biaggio boasted that his financial statements never underwent the due diligence process that prospective NHL owners face.

Wilson hopes makeover reels in results
The San Jose Sharks are among the winners so far this off-season and that was a must for a team that was a second-round loser for a third consecutive spring.
For most NHL clubs, averaging more than 100 points in the regular season and reaching the second round every year would be gravy. But the Sharks have loftier standards and were not impressed with how their season ended at the hands of the Dallas Stars.

Crazy money21
It's tempting to call the $57.12-million (all currency U.S.) for defenceman Brian Campbell or the $23-million for goaltender Cristobal Huet crazy money, but really, what constitutes crazy money any more in today's NHL?
In a year in which the salary cap went up to a record $56.7-million – setting off another enormous spending spree on the opening day of the 2008 free-agent season – was the combined $79.

Redden headed to Broadway27
The San Jose Sharks were in there pitching, as were the Calgary Flames, but in the end, the New York Rangers won the bidding war for ex-Ottawa Senators defenceman Wade Redden, signing him to a six-year contract, worth $39-million (all currency U.S.).
That matches the $6.5-million that Redden earned from the Senators last year and means he didn't need to take a pay cut, even after enduring a sub-par 38-point season, one of the poorest of his NHL career.

Habs better, but Coyotes most improved14
OTTAWA — The NHL sands can shift quickly these days, and nowhere was that more apparent than in the Eastern Conference, where the Montreal Canadiens are one and maybe two players better than they were before convening for the annual entry draft, and the Pittsburgh Penguins are one player worse after breaking off contract negotiations with Marian Hossa, their estimable right winger.

With draft over, attention turns to free agents21
OTTAWA — Having drafted what they hope are tomorrow's stars, the NHL's 30 general managers now turn their full attention to retaining some of their current ones.
Convincing those players to forgo the July 1 free-agent bonanza is another matter.
"We're all finding out right now that it seems to be hard to sign players," Minnesota Wild GM Doug Risebrough said over the weekend.

Stars move on with marathon win42
DALLAS — After Dallas won the first three games against San Jose, advancing to the Western Conference finals was just a matter of time.
A lot of time, it turns out.
The Stars lost two games, then needed four overtimes to finally pull out Game 6 and the series. Brenden Morrow scored the final goal by deflecting a pass from Stephane Robidas on a power play 9:03 into the seventh period, giving Dallas a 2-1 victory early Monday morning.

Chara, Phaneuf to challenge Lidstrom for Norris17
TORONTO — Don't be fooled. Bringing home Norris Trophies every year is not getting old whatsoever for Nicklas Lidstrom.
Only Zdeno Chara and Dion Phaneuf stand in the way of a sixth career Norris for the Detroit Red Wings captain.
"It would mean a lot," Lidstrom said on a conference call Tuesday after the NHL named the three finalists for the award.

Another defining moment for Flames?2
CALGARY — For Canada's neophyte NHL teams — which is to say any without the long and storied history of either the Montreal Canadiens or the Toronto Maple Leafs — Game 7s have a way of defining the face and future of the franchise.
Take the Calgary Flames for example.

Kiprusoff delivers with game on the line
CALGARY — It was hours before the start of his team's sixth game of the Stanley Cup playoffs and head coach Mike Keenan knew exactly what the Calgary Flames needed to extend their postseason experience.
"Our goalie has to give us his best game," Keenan said, taking an accusatory jab at Miikka Kiprusoff, the guy who usually delivers outstanding performances as easily as he puts on his pads.
