NHL news and notes

• So the Bruins put Glen Murray on waivers. I like Murray (I'm a Boston guy), but he is pretty much washed up. Without Thornton, he is not very effective.
• The Bruins also re-signed Dennis Wideman - I like this guy. I think he is a solid puck moving defensemen and the Bs need that. Terms were not disclosed so I can't comment on whether or not I love the signing, but I'm glad to see him back. (Is it just me, or is Dennis not a good hockey name? Neither is Glen for that matter. Maybe that is why the Bruins suck...yet I digress).
• Sundin will make the announcement this week I guess. Who cares? I just hope and pray he doesn't become like his fellow Swede - Peter Forsberg. Look, Forsberg is (was) awesome, I'm just get so tired of the constant "I'm retiring, I'm back, I'm hurt now, I'm back, I'm hurt again someplace new, I'm back, No I'm not back, I'm hurt, I'm back, I might play, I won't play, I'm retiring, No I'm back, I'm hurt, I'm OK. It unfortunately tarnishes a stellar career and everyone, especially me, is tired of it. Just make your decision Sundin.
• What with the ESPYs giving no love at all the hockey or the NHL? The show was great, I thought Justin T was solid and funny. But only 2 vague references to hockey - Nash's sick goal and the Wings as best team. Neither had a chance to win. And the NHL was the only league to not get on area recognition of player of the year. Come on, in this age with Crosby and Ovechkin - the best duo since Wayne/Mario (yes, first name basis), and the NHL gets no love? Good call breaking with ESPN and moving to VS.....
• And speaking of Oveckin - the 5 hockey geniuses who started this blog had a huge debate on "who is the best pure goal scorer of all time". I claimed Ovechkin and got beat down a bit, and supported some. But seriously - you have one guy to put on the ice to score and unassisted goal - who is it? Wayne, Mario, Espo, Rocket Richard, Ovechkin, Bossy, Hull? I would love to hear some other comments - but have no idea how others will see/read this....somebody respond
