Thursday Links: Two Year Tandem Edition

Extending Elliott? Good move. Having both his and Halak's contract end at the same time? I have a bit of concern there. Discuss in the comments like you actually read the links.

Oshie took JR's spot on chat yesterday

He had some pretty funny comments to questions HERE.
He’d make a good color commentator

Oh, man, poor Taylor Hall.

He looks like Frankenberry. That’s going to leave an awful scar, but at least the skate didn’t step on him a little lower, or on his throat.

Taylor Hall's face looks like my mother's face did after that one time she fell down the stairs drunk.

I think she needed 40 or so stitches for that cut. And a LOT of aspirin.

Ouch.
