The only real loss I suffered due to the crashing of GAMERA, my beloved old laptop, was my extensive selection of hockey bookmarks on Firefox. I had thousands of websites and Twitter handles bookmarked from leagues and teams and press sources all around the world, and not having those sources of knowledge at my fingertips is both depressing and frustrating.
If you guys and gals have good sets of hockey bookmarks, be they of NHL scribes and local newspapers or good links to Russian and Swedish newspapers, please, please, please let me know via comments or email at rtxg@yahoo.com.
Thankfully, in terms of prospects, at least, Red Wings Prospects on Twitter is on the case tracking our Wings’ young players, and I’m leaning on him heavily as I slowly but surely rebuild and renovate.
Today was a busy day for the Wings’ Finnish-playing prospects. In the Finnish Liiga:
Victor Brattstrom stopped 18 of 19 shots in KooKoo’s 3-1 win over JYP;
Jared McIsaac’s HPK lost 3-1 to Lukko without the Canadian defenseman, who has a hand injury;
Kasper Kotkansalo played 20:04 and Otto Kivenmaki scored a goal, playing 12:53 in Assat Pori’s 3-2 win over a team known as “Sport.” Here’s C More’s clip of Kivenmaki’s goal:
