- Nice to see Marco Sturm finally pot a goal, eh? [CI (Carrera)]

- We threw this out last year, but it's worth repeating: Per the HHoF, on this date back in 1975, "Washington recorded the only road victory in their first season, when Nelson Pyatt's 2 third period goals gave them a 5-3 win at Oakland. The win ended their NHL-record 37 game road losing streak. They finished the year 1-39-0 on the road." Unreal.
- Finally, happy 39th birthday to Jan Benda and happy 53rd to Sweet Lou Franceschetti.
