And from around the league..

You guys are never going to believe this — after a crappy start to the season (no goals, one assist, a -5 in eight games pre-last night’s game) Derrick Brassard has been bumped from center to the left wing in a desperate, and possibly last-chance situation to try and find some offense by the Islanders. So that experiment is going EXACTLY to schedule now in Act II. Should we tell them how the play ends? [Lighthouse House]

10 games into another rebuilding season and hemorrhaging goals against, some Detroit Red Wing fans are already running out of patience. [Winging it in Motown]
