Oh, wait. ### Leafs News Today is day three of a four day break for The Leafs, so there's little news other than this Instagram photo of Snizzbone and [a very muscular Rich Clune](http://ink361.com/app/users/ig-642064569/richclune/photos/ig-1126415300951501548%5F642064569?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). James Reimer and friends will be back for Hockey Night in Canada Saturday. ### Last Night's Games It was a wild night with 22 teams in action, sometimes Hollywood-like action. The big story of the night is [Carey Price](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54843/carey-price?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). In the third period of the Habs blowing out the [Rangers](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/new-york-rangers?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) he aggravated his previous injury badly enough to be forced to leave and won't be coming back soon. [Carey Price injured again - Eyes On The Prize](http://www.habseyesontheprize.com/2015/11/25/9803104/carey-price-injury-update-canadiens-goaltender-sidelined-again?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) After two and a half games, Carey Price is back on the shelf. People are already frothing at the mouth with speculation the Habs will trade for a backup goalie. James Reimer's name has even been thrown out there. Price wasn't the only big-name to take an injury last night, [Nail Yakupov](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/157187/nail-yakupov?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) was taken down hard.... by a linesman! [Yakupov didn't come back to the game](http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/nail-yakupov-injured-in-bizarre-incident-with-linesman-023200684.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), but there is no update yet on his injury status. The LOLOILERS went on to be demolished by the leagues lowest scoring team, The [Hurricanes](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/carolina-hurricanes?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), and lose 1-4. Over in Pittsburgh Crosby broke his curse and scored two goals, his fourth and fifth in 21 games this season, but [all anyone is talking about is his reported "falling out" with Penguins owner Mario Lemieux](http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/lemieux-and-crosby-in-the-middle-of-a--big-falling-out-183246001.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). ### Other Highlights The Van Riemsdyk boys are so great between the legs. > [Melker Karlsson](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/245148/melker-karlsson?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) gets by TvR, but not for long [@rjesk20](https://twitter.com/rjesk20?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [pic.twitter.com/IhtWCCdnyD](https://t.co/IhtWCCdnyD?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Stephanie (@myregularface) [November 26, 2015](https://twitter.com/myregularface/status/669748784889520128?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) A puck!

Collins has been in the role since 2008 and is best known for his work in the mass commercialization and monetisation of the league's various properties. He was a strong advocate of a strategy to turn fans of individual teams into 'hockey fans' who would watch other teams play. I find his departure a year in advance of the World Cup of Hockey to be curiously timed.
