Ovechkin Breaks Goal Cam, Drives NBC Deeper in Debt

Welcome to the Monday Linkup. I link to the best NHL writing and analysis around the web. Got something to submit? Email me @ adamsteevens@gmail.com

NBC is projected to lose something like $200 million over the Vancouver games, and now A.O goes around smashing up their equipment? Old man Ebersol is gonna be next in line for a bailout, looks like.

-Alex Ovechkin beats Fleury on a breakaway, and breaks the goalcam. Not bad.

-2010 Men’s Ice Hockey Prelim schedule released. Anyone wanna give me an over/under on the Canada – Norway game? {THN}

-Illya Kovalchuk talks with Puck Daddy’s Dmitry Chesnokov about the trade that brought him to Jersey. Insert Jersey Shore joke yourself. {Puck Daddy}

-Speaking of Kovalchuk, not everyone was thrilled with the deal. {Habs Eyes on the Prize}

-The Islanders are on a seven game losing streak. New arena is still in limbo. It’s a shame that a team with this kind of history has to worry about re-location. {Islanders Hockey Blog}

-The Bruins snapped a ten game losing streak by shutting out the Habs 3-0. {NHL.com}

-Terrible news coming out of Toronto – Brian Burke’s son, Brendan, was killed in a car wreck earlier this week. Deepest of condolences to the Burke family.{PPP}
