I finally figured out where Antti Niemi got the idea to wear such straight, flat pads: Mylec.

Ilya Kovalchuk’s $6.0 million cap hit through 2027
Brian Campbell’s $7.1 million cap hit through 2016
Also worth mentioning: Kovalchuck’s cap hit is lower than Toews and Kane, both at $6.3 million.

On New Year’s Eve, my friend Rick and I went to a bar called Coach’s Corner to watch the Blackhawks smash the Devils. They were handing out little Hawks jersey beer holders, but we arrived too late to get our hands on some. I finally found one the other day.
