PHT Morning Skate: Alligator on golf course scares the life out of Erik Karlsson

The Boston Bruins bested the Dallas Stars 6-3 in an intense match up with help from Patrice Bergeron's two goals and Tuukka Rask's 33 saves.

--Sportsnet’s Gare Joyce put together a fantastic piece outlining trade deadline day from the perspective of a GM who is a buyer, a GM who is a seller, a professional and amateur scout, an agent and a lawyer. When a deal goes down, we just get to see the finished product, but clearly, there are a lot of moving parts behind the scenes. This is a great read. (Sportsnet)

--The Senators took on the Panthers in Florida on Sunday night. Ottawa arrived in the Sun Shine State on Saturday, which gave Erik Karlsson a chance to hit the links with Swedish golfer Jesper Parnevik. While on the course, the group had an encounter with an alligator, and let’s just say it made Karlsson jump out of his socks. (Yahoo)

--Puck Junk takes a look at a new deck of cards that has animated photos of a few hockey hall of famers including Wayne Gretzky, Bobby Orr, Gordie Howe and many others. The photos were created by 10 different European artists and each picture is pretty interesting (some players even look evil). (Puck Junk)

--The Boston Bruins and Dallas Stars are headed in opposite directions and that was pretty obvious on Sunday, when the Bruins took down the Stars, 6-3. You can watch the highlights from that game by clicking the video at the top of the page.

--Former NHLer Rich Peverly was forced to retire from hockey after he went into cardiac arrest during a game, but he’s using his experience to educate others. He and his wife, Nathalie, have created Pevs Protects, which is a charity that aims to raise money to purchase automated external defibrillators and to teach people how to use them properly. “It’s been a healing process for our family. Especially for our kids, to look at something that was challenging for us to go through, but also to see what you can do to take a hard situation and make it a good one.” (NHL.com)

--Many would agree that the Arizona Coyotes did well in the Martin Hanzal trade, but Arizona Sports 98.7’s Craig Morgan argues that they should have received a young player that could step in and fill the void left by Hanzal’s departure. “When a proven commodity like Hanzal walks out the door, you hope for a little more. You hope that long-promised future will finally get a little closer to the present.” (Arizona Sports 98.7)

--With Hanzal and Ben Bishop now off the market, The Score breaks down the top five remaining rental players available ahead of Wednesday’s deadline. As you’ve probably come to expect, Blues defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk finds himself at the top of the list. (The Score)
