What goes around comes around. Vancouver Canucks’ Alex Burrows who rose to local infamy after trying to digest Patrice Bergeron’s finger in the Stanley Cup Final is out indefinitely with a broken jaw courtesy of his teammate Chris Tanev.

It looks like the ‘Great One’ Wayne Gretzky is about to come into a rather substantial windfall.

It looks like the NHL will be paying him somewhere between seven and eight million dollars. It’s not like he’s hurting for cash, but I’m glad to see Gretzky get was he was owed. (Puck Daddy)
