Ex-67's star Logan Couture had his first NHL goal tonight in a losing effort for the Sharks.

Lars Eller scors in his 1st NHL game, and he looks pretty awesome out there.

Speaking of the Red Wings - Sharks game, did anyone catch the shoot-out? Datsyuk and Zetterberg both had beauties.

Maxim Lapierre is a loser. Saw the highlights and he would not drop the gloves after creating a stir. Andrew Ference challenged him and got nowhere. Pierre McGuire tore him a new one saying "this is the problem Canadien fans, this guy will not fight'...

Lapierre is a puzzy, no doubt about it. What a disgrace.

It occurred to me for the first time the other day, that a team could win the Stanley Cup without having won a single regular season game.

Eighty-two points on the season for a team that losses every game in post-regulation. Very pathetic.

Because of the loser points, though, there hasn't been a team in the playoffs with 82 points for a long, long time. I'd bet not since the loser points have been instituted.

It's possible, though, if you win the division.

5 teams in each division, each playing the other 4 teams 6 times each. That's 120 intra-division games. Assuming one of those teams always loses (not in regulation) that leaves 120 wins to divide among the remaining 4 teams. So that's 60 points for each team from wins. So as long as none of them win more than 11 games outside the division it is, indeed, mathematically possible.

Mind boggling.

So what happens if, as has been claimed by the league so far, 25% of the games go into overtime?
