A Lot Going On Today

I'm pretty busy at work these days (and everywhere else, actually), which is good and bad. Thus, I only will be able to throw some links at you today. First, the Flyers and winger Simon Gagne agreed to a new five-year deal worth $5.25 million per year. Click here for the Flyers salary commitments for the coming season. Second, the New York Islanders have gone crazy continued their craziness by signing goaltender Rick DiPietro to a 15-year contract for $67.5 million. Finally, my Toffees continued their winning ways Saturday with a 3-0 win over bitter rivals Liverpool in the 204th Merseyside derby. (Yeah, I don't know the meaning of all that, either.) The win moves Everton into third place in the Premiership standings.
