A couple of things in the early going of Aug. 7 . . .
1. Happy Birthday to Sidney Crosby, who turns 21 today. I don't mind sharing the day with him.
2. A source south of the 49th indicates the Spokane Chiefs are expected to promote assistant coach Hardy Sauter to head coach today.
3. The WHL gets around to releasing its schedule today. At some point, you’ll be able to find it at whl.ca.
