I have no idea who Travis Sanheim is but I'd much rather talk about this kid than watch KK pitch.

Maybe I'm late to the party but since when does Clarke have only 4 fingers on his left hand?

Secondary to diabetes I suppose

Philadelphia Flyers

Grade: B+

Travis Sanheim is touted as a two-way defenseman, but only 29 points in 67 games for the Calgary Hitmen of the Western Hockey League in his draft year raises a few concerns when it comes to the offensive side of his game. But, on the other hand, he wasn't really used in power play situations, which no doubt put a dent in his point totals.

Sanheim had 20 even strength points last year, same as Ekblad, tied for 6th among all D. His 1.2 ES points/60 were same as Ekblad's too

That, on the other hand, is encouraging. It's a bit of an off the-board-pick, but that's not always a bad thing.

this is what they say about the flyers second round pick...

He finished with respectable offensive numbers in the regular season, but where he shines is in his defensive awareness and play along the boards.

Lots of rumors, none of which ever seem to happen.

I do have a feeling that Hextall is going to pull off something big tonight.  Nothing to base it on, just a feeling.

This is why I don't gamble.

A witness and sources say the incident occurred outside The Great Canadian Cabin in the Byward Market club district.

Ottawa Police have refused any comment on the incident. Police said they cannot comment unless charges are laid, but several sources did confirm to the Sun Giroux spent the night in jail.

Sources say he is expected to be released Wednesday without any criminal charges.

The 26-year-old Giroux was reportedly seen inside a police cruiser in Ottawa sometime around 9 p.m. on July 1. A Twitter post by shaheed09 reads "Claude Giroux in the back of a cop car downtown ottawa". it was posted to Twitter Tuesday at 9:19 p.m.

Giroux is a native of Hearst in Northern Ontario, but has lived in the Ottawa area for the past several years.

He starred with the Gatineau Olympique of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League before joining the Philadelphia Flyers organization in 2006. He was signed by the Flyers in 2007 and most recently, got an eight-year contract from the team in 2013.

During the 2013-14 season, Giroux scored 28 goals, 58 assists for 86 points. He was third in the NHL points race.

He is a two-time NHL all-star.

How drunk was he?

[rjs246]

Drunk enough to out himself to a cop, apparently.
