Sorry for the delay folks. Caught up in Hockey Day Minnesota. Or, I'm just lazy, one of the two.

Slow News Day?

Burns' return gets 'decent' grade from coach | StarTribune.com - I didn't get to see the game, but it sounds to me like he did alright for his first game in a month and a half.

Wild's Brent Burns cryptic about concussion upon his return to lineup - TwinCities.com - I had the same thought when I read Burnsy's comments. Sounds like someone got some happy pills or something.

Wild look inward to improve and make a playoff push - TwinCities.com - Two stories from the Pioneer Press in one day? Did someone check with Hell? Is it cold there?

Columbus Blue Jackets news, stats, photos, video | BlueJacketsXtra - Enemy perspective for game day.

NHL Recap:

Hitting The Post: NHL Recap 1-22-10: No-goal costs Preds; Dallas ekes out a rare road win - KiPA gives us his daily break down.

From the system:

Photo from AP Photo - Eero Elo, John Carlson News, photos, topics, and quotes - In case anyone had doubts, Eero Elo is, indeed, a real person.

The Third Intermission: Brusty TV - Barry Brust (or "Lusty Brusty" as Ms. C calls him) does a Q&A. Also, T3I is the best place in the world for Aeros info. Visit early, visit often.

ECHL.com | Houston Assigns Kaufman To Chiefs - This is, if I am correct, the first player from the Wild organization to be sent to the Chiefs.

Off the Trail:

KuklasKorner : Mike Chen's Hockey Blog : I’ve Been Traded to SBN - Mike Chen looks to be joining the SBN family, and leaving Kukla's Korner. I'll follow Conan's example and stay classy. Welcome to SBN, Mike.
