Henrik Zetterberg leads Detroit Red Wings’ surge over last nine games – Freep
I just used this article because it uses the word “moxie”, but it also has a video embedded in which Helene tries to get Henrik Zetterberg to apologize for previously having said the Wings weren’t good enough to win games. Tougher to use a more-positive article that went up before the Colorado game, but hey… it’s my Quick Hits so there.

Radko Gudas suspended 10 games for slash to the head of Mathieu Perreault – SBNation.com
Radko Gudas is trash and to be honest, the executioner’s slash being “accidental” is less-believable out of Philly than Val Filppula leading the team in shots on goal (he doesn’t). Ten games seems like a ridiculously small amount for such an insanely dangerous play.
Interesting to me is that the video released by DoPS (which happened conveniently while the Philadelphia Eagles were playing a game) explains that a player is responsible for such reckless and dangerous slashes if they land, which might explain why Sam Bennett didn’t get a call for intentionally taking a swing at Jonathan Ericsson’s head
