Way To Go Joe!

Way To Go Joe! Joe Sakic leads today’s list of ESPN sports highlights as the 11th NHL player to get 1500 points in a career. The first to do it since 1999/2000! there were four players to do so then. (...leaves you wondering what the rest of the year has in store for us...)

And, here’s a look at the Sports Illustrated Power Rankings as of Tuesday the 24th. I know it’s early in the season yet, but I really didn’t think Buffalo had put this kind of team together. (…see my thoughts on what might happen here…) And, while I expected the Thrashers to do well this season, it will be interesting to see if Atlanta can hold this pace.

How about those STARS! Mike Smith gets his first win, and first shutout, in his first NHL game! Now THAT is a milestone. You can catch the post game interview with him on their web site.

And, I'm still watching for some movement in Philadelphia. Personally, I'm expecting some roster shake ups soon due to the management and coaching changes. We'll see.
