Forsberg on the remarks by Ed Snider- from the Delaware County Times,

I would not go if I didn’t feel 100 percent. And then, it would not bother me. If anything was going on, I would not go. Because I know who is paying my salary and stuff, and what I have to do, and that I have a responsibility here. But if I do feel good and I do feel like it is not going to bother me, and I am fine and everything is going to be good, then I am going."

Martin Lapointe will take over for Adrian Aucoin as the club's captain, and coach Trent Yawney slated 21-year-old rookie Corey Crawford for his first NHL start tonight against the St. Louis Blues.

from Kara Yorio of the Sporting News,

Came to the Meadowlands tonight to check out these Senators in person for the first time this season. ...It was a big victory for the Devils, witnessed by me and the 5-6,000 people who showed up at Continental Airlines Arena. (Do not believe the 10,000+ announced attendance. The lower bowl, which may be sold with season tickets, was half full. The upper deck was a joke.)

The William Morris Agency (WMA), the world's leading talent and literary agency, announced today that it has signed the National Hockey League for representation in several key areas of the entertainment industry.

Canada & Columbus Welcome Nash

from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,

Since Dec. 26, the Blue Jackets are a thoroughly respectable 11-5-1 in the standings. Even if they are far off the playoff pace because of their slow start, they are starting to make life miserable for some of the teams above them in the standings. Nash, meanwhile, has scored 14 goals in 24 games; is averaging a point-a-game during the Blue Jackets' surge; and has been in on 27.7 per cent of the team's goals over that time frame.
