The Morning Skate for Tuesday, May 12th

Bullet points for what you missed while dreaming of having a Canadian coach...

• Well Mr. Bettman won't have to worry about any Canadian teams from here on in, as the 'Nucks are gone thanks to a Patrick Kane hat trick in a 7-5 Chicago win. We find it hard to believe a game Roberto Luongo played had that score, but that's what it says;
• Holy fuck the Caps-Pens series has reached epic proportions. David Steckel is the hero in the Caps' 5-4 OT win. This sets up an epic battle on Wednesday in Casa del HF29 as we must choose between the Game 7 in a classic series and the season finale of Lost. It's all Yanni's fault;
  
• La Presse's Réjean Tremblay has a source that says there are four groups in the running to buy the CH, the Québecor group, the Serge Savard group, and two American groups. These groups have supposedly already met with Habs management. The source also says the sale should go through before the draft in June. All this for a team that still is not officially for sale.

Bruins and Ducks facing elimination tonight.
