PHT’s Morning Skate takes a look around the world of hockey to see what’s happening and what we’ll be talking about around the NHL world and beyond.

Joe Pelletier shares some fantastic photos of Vladislav Tretiak with his ... pet bears. OK, they might not be “pet” bears but he is petting them. There’s also whales and other tomfoolery. (Hockey Book Reviews)

Harrison Mooney’s lucid take on lockout-related boycotting:

“We are the children in this divorce. This isn’t our fault. Sure, we’ll suffer as children always suffer in these disputes, but we did nothing wrong. It has nothing to do with us, and threatening to run away from home unless our parents make up accomplishes nothing outside of underscoring how precociously naive we are.” (Puck Daddy)

Apparently Frantisek Kaberle retired. He was a much better Carolina Hurricane than his brother Tomas. (IIHF via Stanley Cup of Chowder)

Alec Martinez was the final Los Angeles Kings player to have his day with the Stanley Cup. (NHL.com)
