On Alex Kovalev's fimiliar moonwalk yesterday: "Kovalev moonwalked after the game. Much better than his previous Michael Jackson imitation: acting dead for half of 2009." [Down Goes Brown]

Ken Hitchcock has about worn out his welcome in Columbus. [Puck Daddy]

Former Penguin Paul Bissonnette is fitting right in down in Phoenix. [AZ Central]

The Capitals have a rap, which is "appropriate. The Caps are to hockey what Rap is to music." Heyooo! [Kuklas Korner]

Ratings for the 2010 Winter Classic down 10% from last year. Take that NBC, who thought the draw of a Philadelphia team and the Green Monster on Ice would generate ratings. Let's use the best players to showcase the game, plz. [Kuklas Korner]

I am dying laughing about Biz Nasty’s taste in music! I know people aren’t all just one thing, but I’d have expected something a little tougher from him.

Speaking of assaults on the ears, why did I listen to the Capitals rap? Why?

I love Down Goes Brown. When I stopped laughing at Bissonette as DJ, I laughed out loud again at that. Thanks. We need it.

And I’ll bet you’re feeling all vindicated about the Winter Classic, huh? ;-)
