irregular links post, 3/?

- Long profile of Jagr - faith, family, dedication to hockey

- Mirtle on Russians, Lambert on Russians

-A story I hadn't heard before, about the Leafs partying during the 2002 playoffs

- Friedman's 30 Thoughts, which includes some thoughts on issues in the Hawks front office and coaching staff

- Ellen Etchingham, on Kovalchuk, and winning, and being a star player on a terrible team (Maybe don't read this one if you're an Oilers fan.)

- an interesting look at the payoffs for the Kings and the Flyers from the Carter and Richards trades

also i'm hoping to finish up the meme from the last post in the next few days, so if you still wanted to get a prompt in, now's your chance.
