Editor's Note: On the back of the continued use of this horrendous song and the release of this ridiculous survey that I am certain everyone here has received at least once birky has put together a great fanpost on how he would select Canada's real team: the 2010 Olympic Team. Team Canada is set to announce its roster for the 2010 Winter Olympics on December 31st. Final rosters don't have to be submitted...

Matt Cooke wasn't the only one-time Penguins forward with a spotty history to strike an opponent's head last night. Thrashers forward Colby Armstrong took a pot shot at the noggin of Flyers forward James van Riemsdyk: Based on the camera angles available, it's difficult to tell if Armstrong left his feet. But that shouldn't matter. Armstrong went after van Riemsdyk's head. That should be the only...
UNIONDALE, N.Y. - To stop a three-game slide, Flyers coach John Stevens paired his two leaders on the same line. If the Flyers were going to shake this "funk," Stevens said, Mike Richards and Jeff Carter were the two who needed to step up for his team.

The NHL levied a five-game suspension on Montreal Canadiens forward Georges Laraque for his knee-on-knee hit on Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall. Laraque, who earlier made headlines by appearing in a "sexist" alcohol related internet ad, is known for his pugilistic play on the ice, and his soft-hearted community contributions off the ice. Although Laraque insisted that his collision...
from Mike Zeisberger of the Toronto Sun, “The Sharks trio seem to compliment each other well,” Yzerman said in an e-mail to Sun Media yesterday. “Marleau’s got the speed, Thornton’s the playmaker and Heatley the goal scorer.” Another plus: The threesome has played together before.
