And now for a haiku:

Paul Kariya he

Shot two goals through Chris Osgood

Fuck Detroit Red Wings

Blues News:

• That was one helluva 5 minute span. Blues 4, Detroit 3. Read all about it in the P-D, the Free Press, and on TSN.
• Wanna know how I know we have the best Game Day Threads in all of blogdom? We don't have to struggle for 100 comments.
• A few things from Rutherford: Kariya is back, Johnson is shaking off the rust, Petro will play (eventually), and Jay got on the board way early compared to last year.

NHL News:

• Doug Weight is your new Islanders captain. Good for Doug.
• Is Toskala's starting job in Toronto at risk? It is if you look at it like this. TSN takes a look here.
  
• 4 scores from last night's action.
• Washoo brings us the latest and greatest in Jersey Fouls. Scroll down for our old buddy, Mr. "BLUZSUK" Red Wings jersey. 
• Ray freakin' Emery with the shutout in his first game back.
• Penguins raise the banner and win the opener.
• Brodeur with another record.
• Florida Panthers and Tomas Vokoun live to face 55 (non-alcoholic) shots and win against the Hawks.
• Here's what's coming tonight.
• Andrei Markov will be in the pressbox for Montreal for 3-4 months. Sucks.

Other Stuff:

• Finally, The Rock HAS COME BACK...as the tooth fairy. Do what?
• Start putting together your best combos. We'll need them for when Nashville is the opponent. (CCR, way to go)
• Well, there's one more fish out there in the sea thanks to this.
• Songs that sound alike.

Since we're in Sweden, it's gotta be Swedish Chef, right?
