Geoff brought the Morning Fly By back yesterday, and we’re going to make a concerted effort to really make it a daily feature again. Even if we have to bring someone new into the fold just to make it happen, we’ll consider doing that.
One new part in bringing back a daily list of links is pushing the fact that this post can be used as a daily discussion thread, where you’re free to ramble on and go off on tangents throughout your day. If you have a random thought and need somewhere to let it out, here’s your spot. Talk about the links too, of course. Just keep it clean and civil as always.
With that said, let’s get to the good stuff.
- Last night’s NHL scores… NJD 2, FLA 0 – STL 4, MTL 3 (OT) – VAN 3, EDM 2 (OT)
- We’re still raising money toward relief efforts in Haiti. Since Tuesday night we’ve raised almost 200 dollars, and with the end of the week/pay day coming, we’re going to keep reminding you that donations are still open. You’ll even get yourself on a nice list of people who donated (by user name, not actual name — let us know if you don’t want inclusion for any reason, though). [BSH Haiti Donations]

- Patrice Cormier of the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies in the QMJHL will learn his fate on Monday, when that league reviews and hands down discipline for his vicious hit on Quebec’s Michael Tam. If you missed the video of the hit, here it is. Be warned, it’s extremely graphic. [SBN Hockey]
