2.57 After the first 51 games this season, the average goals per game by Detroit. This is the fifth lowest season average after 51 games in Club history.

From TSN : Didn't Lamoriello watch the U20 WJHC? After what he did in the preliminary games, Hockey Canada should have sat Cormier down and had a little chat with him regarding his play; that may have prevented this from happening. Maybe he was taking his silver-medal frustrations out in a Q-game, not unlike Phaneuf after he wasn't chosen for Team Canada. With a little more work, Cormier could become "the next Steve Downie".

Patrick Marleau.

It's not because a Canadian invented it.

"Blues, Rags and Hollers" - "Spider" John Koerner, Dave "Snaker" Ray & Tony "Little Sun" Glover.

39 The number of regular season games played this season with Detroit scoring 3 or fewer goals, the most in 52 seasons. 15 The number of those same games that were won.

From The Globe and Mail : The decision on the Cormier suspension is due on Monday; I hope it's long.

He didn't dive? Interesting.

The best news is that #17 will still be available to be retired by Montreal.

Lou Lamoriello told Bettman what to say.

"Givin' It Back" - The Isley Brothers.

From NHL :

If you view it again, with the aid of the "pause", you can see that Montreal got caught on a terrible line change. Speculation on TSN this morning was that prior to this, Price was not happy with the work of his defencemen; so he took matters into his own hands. They also said he did not talk to the media after the game. I think he should be fair game.

Is the "Leino Showcase" leading up to a possible trade?
