from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,

- Not one player from the 1980 Miracle On Ice USA Olympic team went on to coach or manage in the NHL. And none are in Hockey Hall of Fame. But from the lightly regarded Canadian team, Jim Nill is general manager of the Dallas Stars; Paul MacLean is the coach in Ottawa; Glenn Anderson is in the Hockey Hall.

- Definition of a bad NHL idea: Anything that involves the Maloof brothers.

- Drew Doughty has played more than 30 minutes in a game seven times already this season. Only Ryan Suter in Minnesota plays more.
