Your Friendly Wednesday Links Roundup: The Cog in the Machine Edition

One of these men will get a natural hat trick during the game. And no, a "natural hat trick" is not a meal at Denny's.

Wait - did Andrew Cogliano seriously get a hat trick last night? I feel like I'm living in a bizarro parallel hockey universe.

Bah no game day post. I hafta take off for this strangely late game without knowing anything about it. I hope they still settle the match through hockey…

no bah for the Jewels From the Crown link. I really like their work its just been too depressing to read about hockey for most of this year. Got lost in their back logs and killed myself a whole mess of clock here at work.

Yeah

Reading about hockey has been quite depressing this season. My college hockey team has been hovering around .500 (after compiling a near-perfect record last season), so it’s been a doubly depressing year for me. It’s interesting though: the Ducks haven’t been included in any of the postseason chatter, but it may not be mathematically impossible for us to make the playoffs (I haven’t crunched the numbers). And our depth players seem to be performing well, which is exciting.
