- Adam Burish, who you would be forgiven for forgetting is now a San Jose Shark, participated in an NHLPA charity game in Windsor on Saturday as Team Steve Ott defeated Burish’s Team Daniel Cleary by a score of 17-11. Kevin Westgarth somehow scored four goals. [MLive]
- Speaking of Westgarth, he might not be a great hockey player but the Princeton grad has been an integral part of PA negotiations throughout this lockout.

In an absolutely shocking turn of events, none of that appears to have actually ended talks as the sides maintained contact over the weekend and look to schedule formal meetings this week.
