Greetings, Game Timers. Weekend Dad in the house. Weekday Dad had to deal with a flat tire, a swarm of locusts, an old friend coming in from out of town, and his suit wouldn't come in from the dry cleaners. I figured I'd help the guy out.

- What's this? Brodeur hasanother shutout record to grab before he has all of them (sort of)?!?!
- I don't personally have anything invested in the Kings, but any article that rips on Roenick, Avery, AND Valeri Bure gets a nod from me.
- Mirtle takes a stab at who makes Team Canada. He also has the low-down on who really did make Team Belarus.
- He also knows when every nation's Olympic hockey team will be announced. Russia's gonna be scary good.

- And now that I look at the recaps, Glen Metropolit, yes, THE Glen Metropolit, had 2 PP goals for Montreal's Wednesday win over Carolina (that explains it).
- Schedule for Thursday.
Other Stuff:
- Sure, it's a TSN columnist, but it's about building a backyard rink, so I'm putting it here.
