Nine Years Later - Hockey Player Epsen Knutsen Closes a Chapter

The hockey nets that cascade around the hockey rink from arena ceilings didn't alway exist. A stray puck from ex-Columbus Blue Jacket Epsen Knutsen changed the safety guidelines in all arenas.

Nearly nine years ago, a puck hit by Knutsen hit and killed 13-year-old Brittanie Cecil. On Friday, Knutsen finally met the mother of that little girl.

The story is here in the Columbus Dispatch.

Eric Lindros - From the Next Great One to Just Another One

Wasn't he supposed to be the next Wayne Gretzky?
Wasn't Eric Lindros going to be the mayor of Philadelphia?

Is Eric Lindros a Hall of Fame player? Did hold-outs in Quebec and Philly ruin his career?

I recently found this card in my collection. I'm not a hockey collector, for some reason I held on to this '91-'92 Upper Deck card.
