Your links for today

Recaps of Last Night's Action [SBNation][Fire and Ice][NJ.com][Devils][Devils Army Blog][RWTD][Eyes on the Prize]

If you want to play hockey for a good cause (helping support NJ hockey), you should consider signing up for the Big Apple Pond Hockey classic. Also of note- Ken Danekyo will be there [Big Apple Pond Hockey]

The late Gary Carter, who was honored last night was a close friend of Martin Brodeur [Fire and Ice] (Tribute video can be found here, via Pro Hockey Talk)

And speaking of people close to Martin Brodeur, his father Denis had brain surgery last night. All the best wishes, Denis, and get well soon. [Fire and Ice]

Nick Palmieri learns about Fight Club from Eric Boulton and Cam Janssen. [Fire and Ice]

Anton Volchenkov taking a puck to the face and returning to the game showed that the Devils are tough [NJ.com]

Doc Emrick, Steve Cangialosi and MSG+ have been nominated for New York Emmys [Fire and Ice]

There's more links after the jump (that's how many there are today!)

Sometimes, player polls can be overrated [Canucks Army]

Would Boba Fett roll in his grave if he found out that his helmet was painted in Canucks colors? Because somebody did do that. [Pass it to Bulis]

Get Dean Lombardi over to MSG, some coulombs need to be recalibrated [Puck Daddy]

Steve Mason is probably going to go on a RAMPAGE. Dude could definitely use a change of scenery. [Backhand Shelf]

Trade deadline day and free agency are pretty similar in some ways, namely the overpayment part [Backhand Shelf]

Chris Pronger's post concussion syndrome seems horrendous [CSN Philly]

Signs you're not doing a good job of handing out discipline- fans of the suspended player's team are complaining that you didn't suspend the player long enough (Seriously though, he should've been suspended for more than one game) [Hockey Wilderness]

If Palmieri can learn to fight, it should help keep Cam off the ice (and maybe Boulton eventually too). Maybe we can have a productive 4th line after all!

That one game suspension thing is ridiculous, yeah he suffered no apparent injury, but what if later he has some concussion symptoms and misses games? That thought going into suspensions is ridiculous.

And Kovalchuk speeds away, great moves, busting through, DID YOU SEE THAT?

two articles from NYTimes.com

An article on Petr Sykora from NYTimes.com
Sykora Catches a Second Wind With the Devils

An article on Neal Broten & Lou Lamoriello and the 1995 NJ Devils from NYT’s Slap Shot blog, which is pretty far-ranging in what it covers… enough, so, that the article becomes a trade-speculation piece about the Rangers. It is a good blog though.

Burnside, of all people, points out this stat in this week’s Power Rankings:
The Devils haven’t given up more than 3 goals in a game in a month, not including shootout.
Impressive in its own right without Tallinder and Larsson for the most part, but really speaks to Marty’s play of late.
