Amidst all the Khabi-disaster, Sam Gagner was recently interviewed by Jason Gregor (check out the article on Oilersnation.com), and Steve Tambellini also spoke about him a bit.

Rogers Sportsnet President Doug Beeforth stated recently that people are wrongly ...

Credit to Lowetide for his article that mentioned this (must give credit where due): the new Hockey News issue is out, complete with predictions for the standings.
