I hope there's more Tortorella-Brooks.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him at Game 3.

Salary payment for the players finish at the end of the regular season. Is the same true for the officials?

55 The number of consecutive playoff games won scoring four or more goals in Club history. 7 Of these, the current number against Phoenix.

Jovanovski is not back on the bench for the third; bruised ego.

Bryzgalov will be getting treatment for his sunburn during the next intermission.

I wonder if Brett Lebda is watching the game.

Maybe he'll think today's game is tonight.

Fashionistas.

What makes "roll call" at Yankee Stadium different is that it's done in the top of the first inning and they keep chanting the player's name until he acknowledges it. Then it's followed by a cheer for the player, then on to the next player. I think it's great.

From Toronto Star : Go Sabres!

There should be lots of people there. I've heard there's lots of fans who don't know the Coyotes play regular-season games there.

Is he named after the company that deals with chicken parts?
