The Plot Thickens

Well, 2 nights into the NHL season and already there are some interesting things to note:

- Darrell acquires would-be cast-off Kyle Wellwood, and plays him in lieu of the injured Fedorov, and is rewarded with a 4 point night - not bad for a 3rd round pick for a 4th

- Jaromir Jagr serves notice that he's ready for this season, scoring 29 seconds into game one

- Teammate Shanahan echoes the sentiment, scoring twice to hit the 600 goal plateau

- Roberto Luongo is solid in net as the Canucks beat the powerhouse Red Wings

- M-A Fleury records a shut-out to start the season, and Andrew Raycroft does the same (against Ottawa no less) in the Leafs second game

- Martin Havlat shows he doesn't need an allstar supporting cast to shine, racking up 4 pts in his Hawks debut

- And sadly, thus far tonight, Edmonton looks to prove last year was no fluke, leading the Flames 2-0

I love hockey...
