Commodore to cut shaggy hair after playoffs[/b][/u]
TAMPA, Fla. (CP) -- Flames defenceman Mike Commodore has drawn as much attention for his big shaggy hair style than his solid play in these playoffs. But the red curls will be history after the Cup final.
"I've got this thing set up at my high school in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, where my mom's the principal," he said Monday. "I'm cutting my hair to raise a little money for cancer."
And he's already got an idea for his next hairdo when it grows back.
"I think I might try a Mohawk later this summer, it looked good on Chris Simon so why not me?" Commodore laughed.

JASSEN'S BACK: It was an agonizing wait for Tampa Bay Lightning defenceman Jassen Cullimore before he returned from a wrist injury for Game 7 of the Eastern Conference final against Philadelphia. The Simcoe, Ont., native was injured in the third game of the opening round against the New York Islanders.
"It's a little stiff after not playing for six weeks and my body's a little sore because I'm not used to the banging and battling of a game," Cullimore said Monday. "But it feels good."
The rangy defenceman said he was ready to return for Game 6 against Philadelphia, but coach John Tortorella opted to hold him out.
"The team was playing great and I understand that he didn't want to mix things up. He went with seven defencemen in Game 7 and it worked out. We're here now and that's the main thing."

U-S-A: Flames centre Craig Conroy was thankful the U.S. named him to its World Cup team despite a feud with USA Hockey.
"I was a little bit bitter about some things (with USA Hockey) and I think I took the wrong stance," Conroy said Monday. "I declined to play in a couple of world championships because I was upset about (not making) the Olympics and that was maybe wrong on my part."
Now it's all water under the bridge.
"They were bigger than me and they stepped forward and gave me an opportunity, so now I will repay them any chance I get," he said.

IGGY STAYED: Flames superstar Jarome Iginla raised a few eyebrows during his news conference Monday when asked about the trade rumours that plagued him last summer and into the fall.
"Yeah, I was a little surprised I was still here this year," said Iginla, whose two-year, $13-million US contract runs out July 1. "I was in my fair share of trade rumours and that's the business. I've enjoyed playing in Calgary and it's been a rebuilding process and I wanted to be here when we turned the corner. ...
"I'm very thankful to the organization for keeping me around."

NO FACIAL HAIR: Craig Conroy stands alone among his Calgary teammates when it comes to not having any facial hair.
"I was in St. Louis dying my hair blonde, and had the beard, goatee, Fu Manchu, and I never won the Cup," Conroy said. "So I said I was just going to keep going as normal, just shave and go about my business.
"It's itchy, too, that's part of it."

LOVING IGGY: Tampa star Martin St. Louis hasn't lost any admiration for former Flames teammate Jarome Iginla.
"Jarome is not only a great player but he's a great person," St. Louis said at his news conference Monday. "He's a great pro athlete. He takes time away from the game (doing charity work) and he's just a good all-around person. He's down to earth."
Iginla's success, St. Louis said, hasn't changed him.
"As much success as he has, he goes out of his way to say hi to people," said St. Louis, a nominee along with Iginla and Martin Brodeur for the Hart Trophy. "That's one thing beyond hockey that I think as a person you want to copy."

GELINAS-LINSEMAN: Calgary's Martin Gelinas was the second player to score three series-winning goals in one playoff year. The first was Ken Linseman of the 1984 Edmonton Oilers, who had series-clinchers against Calgary, Minnesota and the New York Islanders.
