Still a tad late for me. Have to work tomorrow.

Beckham has left the Paris SG bench and is warming up!

Oh, and I hear the Panthers have called up Markström. That makes it eight Swedish goalies in the league right now. We have replaced "you'll never win the Cup with a Swedish captain" to "you'll never win the Cup with a Swedish goalie". It's on our new $50 bill. So that's why none of them plays for a...

Terrible suspense tonight. Will Berlusconi rise from the dead and eat Europe's brain? One shudders at the thought. Most Europeans cannot fathom that the Italians may once again vote for this shady character, but then controlling most of Italy's TV and radio stations and owning several of the major n...

Welcome to the NHL Mr Nihlstorp. http://cdn3.sbnation.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/8530919/20130221_ajw_an4_086.0_standard_352.0.jpg Nilstorp got his first NHL win yesterday against the Sharks. He stopped 31 shots in a 3-1 win, was named first star of the game and may now challenge Bachman for th...

Karlsson on Cooke:

Looks like Silfverberg is beginning to find his wheels! :D He only has six points so far, but three of those came in his last three games. Yesterday he scored a short handed goal against the Rangers and fired a total of eight shots on goal. He then also scored on a penalty shot in the shootout. iSb3...

Who the hell is Nilstorp? :look: :lol: I was wondering the same thing myself! Never drafted 29-year-ole Swede whom the Stars signed to a 2-way ($100K/1mil) 4 weeks ago. That's all I know. Perhaps Per can enlighten us. Just another Swedish goalie plying his trade in the NHL. Seven of them this seaso...

Seriously?

Now, I can ser why you would assume, presume, reckon, deduct, find it plausible, reasonable or even accept it.
But wishing for it?!

Now that's treason!

I knew they'd be good, but I would never have thought that both of them would win Art Ross.
That's just plain weird. I still have a hard time believing that. Even after it happened.

Am I wrong but only lidstrom and forsberg have rings on that list? Yes, you are. Tomas Sandström won the cup with the Red Wings in '97. But you're right in the respect that many of the better Swedes in the NHL have wasted their careers on crappy teams. :( Sundin and Salming in Toronto... And Thomas...

I'm thankful there's no lockout in the playoffs.

Told you so.

He needs a Stanley Cup on his resume. It's the only stat that really counts Am I wrong but only lidstrom and forsberg have rings on that list? Yes, you are.

Henrik has now passed Markus when it comes to points as a Canuck, but Nazzy also played three seasons with Pittsburg and one with the Rangers, so he still has a slight edge in all time NHL points. It surprised me though that the twins have already reached the top ten in most points scored in the NHL...
