- Joe Thornton racked up 27 penalty minutes in HC Davos' 3-0 loss to Fribourg last week. Fun fact: the German word for game misconduct is Spieldauerdisziplinarstrafe. [National League A]
- Drew Remenda reminisces about the Sharks' inaugural roster. [San Jose Sharks]
- In riveting lockout news, Paul A. Engelmayer is the federal judge who has been assigned to the NHL's class action lawsuit against the players' association.

- An actual lawyer explains the impending legal battle between the NHL and NHLPA. [mc79hockey]

J.J. says what we're all (okay, what I'm) thinking. [Winging It In Motown]
