Around SBN: Dana White Announces Koscheck vs. Hendricks for UFC on FOX

Sunday Roundup/Caps 4, Devils 2Gameday: Devils @ Caps

[NHL.com Recap - NHL.com Preview - WashingtonCaps.com Preview]

Second verse, same as the first - could be better, could be worse.

I'll have my thoughts on the home-and-home later today or tomorrow, but for now, consider these stats from yesterday's win:
The Capitals beat Martin Brodeur and the Devils 4-2 in New Jersey. It was the first time that Washington has scored more than three goals in a game against Brodeur since Oct. 6, 2001, when the Caps knocked Brodeur out of the game by scoring five times in the first two periods of the season opener for both clubs.

Saturday's game ended Brodeur's 11-game unbeaten streak against the Capitals (10-0-1) and it was the future Hall of Famer's first loss to Washington at the Meadowlands since Dec. 9, 2000. Brodeur had won seven games in a row versus the Capitals in New Jersey since then.

Oh, and there's more fallout from New York regarding Jaromir Jagr's "leadership," for those of you interested in that sorta thing. This article asks the following:
Now that Jaromir Jagr appears to be one bad haircut away from a Britney Spears moment, we have to ask: What do the Rangers do now?
They miss the playoffs. That's what they do.

Evgeny Kuznetsov hams it up as he joins the Russia men's national team for the "Sweden Games" leg of the Euro Hockey Tour in Helsinki, Finland.

There's a bit of controversy as their game against the Finns is scheduled to be played in Helsinki's outdoor Olympic Stadium.   Where the daytime temps are currently approximately minus-15 degrees Celsius, with periodic heavy snow.

This interview with head coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov is fascinating, as he frets about the weather and especially when the reporters press him on the leaked reports that Kuznetsov will be centering the top line for Team Russia, just weeks after his 20th birthday.
