Brunnstrom makes statement in debut
By Zachary Ingraham PA SportsTicker Staff Writer
It only took one game for Dallas Stars left wing Fabian Brunnstrom to prove he has more than just potential.
Making his NHL debut Wednesday, Brunnstrom notched a hat trick - including the game-winning goal - to lead the Stars to their first win of the season, a 6-4 victory over the Nashville Predators.
A healthy scratch for the Stars’ first two games of the campaign, Brunnstrom became the third player in NHL history to net three goals in his first career game. He joins Alex Smart of the 1943 Montreal Canadiens and Real Cloutier of the 1979 Quebec Nordiques.
“It made it that much better to win the game,” said Brunnstrom, who leads Dallas in goals despite playing two less games than most of his teammates. “I had some really nice passes and I just tried to be in front of the net.
“This has been my goal since I was little, to play in the NHL, and this is just a dream come true.”

After four games and just hours after the Blackhawks’ first win of the season, Savard was out as the coach, replaced Thursday by Joel Quenneville.
The Blackhawks, who have missed the playoffs nine of the past 10 seasons, improved to 1-2-1 following a 4-1 home victory over Phoenix on Wednesday night.
“I’m proud of what we accomplished last year with the young kids in the lineup. I hope for them to do well,” Savard told The Associated Press by phone. “It’s a tough day, no question. I’m hurt. I worked hard to do the best I could to get the team on its way to the Stanley Cup.”
General manager Dale Tallon said the evaluation process had been ongoing since training camp and the decision was an organizational one. He said the Blackhawks lacked the kind of energy in preseason that they displayed at the end of last season, when they won 40 games.(Click here to view the full article)
Injury Updates:
Rolston, who began his career with the Devils, scored his first goal in his second stint with the team before later suffering a high right ankle sprain.
A former first-round pick of New Jersey in 1991 who played parts of his first six seasons with the franchise, Rolston left the game midway through the third period with the injury. The 35-year-old lost his balance before crashing into the end boards behind Atlanta’s net and did not return.
Following the game, Rolston was on crutches when he left the locker room. (Yahoo! Sports)
It’s a situation they’ll need to remedy if forced to contend a little longer with their captain’s status up in the air while he recovers from knee surgery.
Alfredsson had his right knee scoped last Friday to remove a bone chip and, despite making a quicker-than-expected return to the ice earlier this week, is questionable for a pair of weekend games.

Hi guys, Sam here, admin of 2 Minutes For Hockey.
I’ve been run off my feet with my 8th wedding anniversary the last 2 days so have not had a chance to do a full update of the hockey videos and blog. I did however do a small update earlier today with some great videos including the following great clip of Kari Lehtonen of the Atlanta Thrashers completely stoning Alexander Ovechkin in todays regular season match up.
I intend to continue with the regular updates as of tomorrow.
Thanks for understanding,
~ Sam

They’re some of the most hated… and loved players in hockey. They are often the topics of discussion, the creators of controversy and most often the most misunderstood role players in a hockey team.
They are the fighters. Names like Sean Avery, Georges Laraque, Rob Ray, Bob Probert are synonymous with classic NHL video highlight reels.
Recently in the AIHL (Australian Ice Hockey League) there was a fight in a game between the Gold Coast Blue Tongues and the Western Sydney Ice Dogs. Import player for the Blue Tongues Bryan Lachance was target and finally let it fly. Lachance comes from the LNAH in Canada (Quebec Radio X) where he has set a name for himself as a quality legit fighter.
In the fight last weekend however the fight turned a nasty shade of dirty when Lachance, who had clearly won the fight dropped the guy to the ground and continued to punch him. That’s not where the real issue lies though. After the Ice Dog went down, Lachance proceeded to pull his hair and knee him. The Refs either failed to see it, or chose not to do anything about it.
The question however is simply, when someone is a fighter of Lachances calibre, why would they need to resort to such disgusting behaviour? It disgraces not just the player, but also the team.
Here is the clip of the fight in question:

Each year the NHL provides us with video clips that will forever belong in highlight reels and best-of compilations. This year was no different. Possibly the greatest clip this last season however belonged to Mike Modano of the Dallas Stars. Going into the season he trailed Phil Housley in points, and as each game passed he moved closer to the moment that would place Modano in the elite group of “greatest” players. On November 11, 2007 he finally did it, scoring an amazing breakaway goal on Evgeni Nabokov of the San Jose Sharks. Below is the clip of that goal.

After nearly 20 years in the NHL, Jaromir Jagr has decided to leave the NHL to play for team Avangard Omsk in Russia. The move comes just a day after splitting from the New York Rangers.
In his career in the NHL Jagr has put up phenominal numbers, collecting 646 Goals, 953 Assists for 1599 Points in 1273 Games, better than a point a game over his NHL career, which has seen him play for 3 teams; Pittsburgh Penguins, Washington Capitals and the New York Rangers.
“It was the toughest decision in my life, hockeywise. … No question about it. I hate making changes,” Jagr told The Canadian Press.
- Yahoo! Sports
Other action around the league saw a number of players change homes.
A day after the San Jose Sharks acquired Rob Blake on the blue line, they have acquired another top defenseman in a 4-player trade. The Sharks acquired Dan Boyle and Brad Lukowich from the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for defenseman Matt Carle, prospect Ty Wishart, a 2009 first-round pick and a 2010 fourth-round pick. The Sharks also acquired 2nd round Draft picks in 2009 and 2010 from the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for Craig Rivet and a 2010 7th round pick.
The Vancouver Canucks acquired a replacement forward for Markus Naslund today by acquiring Steve Bernier from the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for a 3rd round pick in the 2009 draft and a 2nd round pick in 2010.
The Pittsburgh Penguins showed their faith in their goalie today by locking up M.A. Fleury to a 7 year, $35 Million dollar deal.
