- Tom Dundon was a guest on the ESPN On Ice podcast (starts about 33 minutes in) and he didn’t hold back talking about his philosophy for staffing the front office and why he couldn’t care less what the perception is around the league. [ESPN]

- So why exactly was Puddy in the crowd at Devils/Lightning Game 4? [Sports Illustrated]
