Puskar - AP Browse more photos » Rather than take a look at the usual suspects for Team Canada at the Olympics, I figured it might be worthwhile to simply look at which Canadian players are impressing in the early going this season.

via Craig Custance of the Sporting News, I was talking to Los Angeles captain Dustin Brown before the game, and asked him about the Calgary Flames defense, one that I consider the best in the league (or at least I did until that Chicago meltdown).

Fight Leads To Wild Comeback

Kukla's Korner (Free subscription) | 10/07/2009

Getting zero done in the offensive zone. And then … a couple choice words during the second intermission and a fight, and the first-ever Wild comeback from three goals down in the third for a W. Yes, I know there...

I left work today and I took a longcut, which I often do, through the Eatons' Centre.

Its the only time I spend in a mall. This afternoon I was making my way and I ran into...
