from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,

- For those who value the save percentage statistic, consider this: Buffalo goalie Ryan Miller has only been above .918 once in his career. Can you say overrated?<.p>

- The next NHL coach to be fired will be a) Todd Richards; b) Jack Capuano; c) Joe Sacco; d) Glen Gulutzan. Extra points will given to those who can identify which teams the coach represents.

- On Tuesday, Jay Bouwmeester plays his 735th game, making him the NHL player with the most regular-season games played without a single playoff appearance. The previous record was held by Guy Charron at 734. And the way things are going in Calgary, it’s not like he’s going to be in the playoffs any time soon.
