Stop what you're doin', as I'm about to ruin...Senators 6 Sabres 3: Channeling Bill Simmons in the wake of the Sens dealing for Mike Comrie: "Just what Ottawa needs -- another paycheque player." Here's a player whose whole career arc reads like someone born to play on 10th- or 11th-place teams his whole career, not that there's anything wrong with that -- just ask Mike Bullard (not the TV host). Meantime, the Sens kept up their eerie mastery of Buffalo, with Dany Heatley tying a club record with four points.
Canucks 2 Stars 1 (shootout): Seven guys in a row missed in the shootout before Van's Ryan Kesler popped in the winner. See what happens when you can't have the same three guys keep shooting?
Kings 3 Blue Jackets 0: Anze Kopitar going 15-for-18 on faceoffs is like sex for a stats geek.
Lemieux, Pens higher-ups visit Kansas City: It's a basketball town, but it's a metropolitian area of 1.95 million and there's four Fortune 500 companies based there, not including Hallmark. Besides, the NHL is over in Pittsburgh.
(UPDATE: As Mirtle notes, the Penguins have been promised a rent-free arena.
NHL Scoreboard; world juniors writeup (as Dave Bidini hastily began writing lyrics for The Ballad of Jonathan Toews)
