Abe Froman's A.M. Hot Links (Tues. 12/21)

One game in six days is no fun, but then again, LA having 4 games in hand from the 9 spot is also no fun.  The weekend's two wins have yielded a positive vibe from the local media, check it out in the Tuesday linkage.

• Jahns: Keeping Toews going is key.
• Sassone's got the arrow pointing up.
• Bickell is so Allen Iverson, and he doesn't even know it.
• Chris Block's Sunday news and notes.
• Al Cimaglia on Chelios: "Face the facts."
• More from Al, transformation of the Hawks game yields results.
• Bartl gives us a double dose of Boxing from this weekend's games.
• All the usual stuff is there in Scott Burnside's Five Things, the Kings are missing a piece, Philly's goaltending situation is odd, the Devils should think about trading Fatso.  Wait, what was that last one?
• So, I haven't seen The P.I.R. in years, but I think Drew Carey looks even more awkward down 75 lbs.  Oh yeah, and JR, Crosby, and Ovi were on the show.
• Anybody building an outdoor rink this winter?
