from TSN,

As busy as Tuesday was on the NHL waiver wire, Wednesday has been quiet. None of the three players available on waivers - Pittsburgh goalie Jocelyn Thibault, Florida forward Kristian Huselius and Chicago forward Mikhail Yakubov - were picked up by anyone and all three will, for now, remain with their current teams.

On The Road With A Rookie

from Todd Simpson of the Chicago Blackhawks,

I sure have gotten to know my roommate, Duncan Keith, much better over the past 10 days. He really enjoys his sleeping and showers and eating and ... well I better not get too personal. I'm trying to type softly (is that possible?) as he is sleeping right now! Oh, to be 22 years old and embarking on an NHL career; every new city and rink brings excitement for him. Full of questions. And lucky for him, his roommate has all the answers! Honestly, he is a great guy, and not just because he does everything I tell him. His exuberance rubs off and reminds me of myself a little bit all those years ago. Duncs has a great attitude and I am just trying to help him any way I can. One of the fun things about being a veteran that is roomed with a rookie is teaching him the rules -- the unwritten ones that is. The same rules apply with every roommate all over the NHL. Here are a few of them-

First NHL Coach To Go

More and more talk around the NHL about which NHL coach will get fired first. The two leading candidates are Ed Olczyk at Pittsburgh and Jaques Martin in Florida. The 2nd tier of coaches on the hotseat are Mike Sullivan in Boston and Steve Stirling of the Islanders. If they are replaced, who would replace them? I am sure Dave Lewis would be one of the names tossed around.

Live From Nashville

from the NHLPA,

"The Greg Johnson Show" has become a popular draw for fans of the Nashville Predators over the past few years, a radio program hosted by the captain of the Western Conference club, one that allows people to get up-close and personal with the players. "I really enjoy it," said Johnson, of the live radio broadcast that takes place at Blackstone Restaurant & Brewery. "When the organization asked me to do it, I thought it would be neat to talk hockey and have the fans come out and watch." Just don't expect Johnson to entertain the thought of getting into the broadcast side of the game once he hangs up his skates. "I don't think so," said Johnson, who played four seasons at North Dakota, where he recorded 272 points in 155 career contests and was named one of the WCHA’s “Top 50 Players in 50 Years,” in celebration of the conference’s 50th anniversary, in November 2001. "I really don't think I have a good radio voice."

via the Ottawa Sun,

Ottawa winger Martin Havlat left the game in the third period with a dislocated right shoulder after being checked by Montreal winger Michael Ryder and falling into the boards. Senators coach Bryan Murray speculated Havlat could be lost to the team for a month -- maybe more. "I'm not a doctor and I don't know the extent of it, but normally it's a fair amount of time," said Murray. Havlat is due to have an MRI to assess the extent of the damage today.

Sharks May Shake It Up

from the Mercury News,

"I am patient and I believe in our players, but I'm not blindly loyal," Wilson said shortly before the Sharks flew to Dallas, where they will seek their first victory in 10 games tonight. "I have a responsibility to our team and our fans and this organization to live in the present." Wilson would not say if any deals were imminent. Most offers he has heard have been too one-sided, he said, as other teams try to take advantage of the Sharks' poor start.

The Statement Fits Many

You could probably replace the name Roenick with about 20 other names, and the statment would still be true. from the Long Beach Press-Telegram,

"I'm not happy with the way I've been playing, not at all," Roenick said. "There have been some games where I've played really well, and overall I don't think I'm doing anything extremely terrible but I also don't think I'm doing anything extremely good, which is unlike me. But I'll stay with it and I'll stay patient. "I understand that I'm older and that it's a different game now. It's different than it was a couple years ago, and I'm almost two years older than when I played before (the lockout). I really feel that I can get back to that level, because if I didn't think that way, I wouldn't even be bothering right now."
