Around the Hockey World — Tuesday, September 8
Got some feedback on consolidation and keeping a conversation going. I am going to try this, a daily post that is a round up of all the day’s news where we can have an ongoing discussion each day (on slow off-season days, we could stick to a thread for more than a day).
Note that team pages offer more granular stories on individual teams, especially Detroit.
