5 goals now, doubling his goal total, tying Gretzky and Coffey's team record.
He only had 22 points coming in. Quite the night for him.
EDIT: Maybe not with the goal, they're giving it to Eberle.

Well, it looks like Sittler's mark is safe.

Almost 4% of his career points so far scored in tonight's game and almost 6% of his career goals. Also, almost 40% of the points he had coming into the game and 80% of the goals.
EDIT: Only his 6th career multi-goal game, 2nd hat trick.

Just some thoughts on the future of negotiations (cba)...
The NHL has done a comprehensive review of the current CBA and has been ready to negotiate for months. One team executive said the most important issue is the players? percentage of revenue, because once you determine that, most everything else ? the structure of contracts, free-agency rules, arbitration rights ? just determines how their share is distributed among them.
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said the league is on pace for another year of record revenue. So why are some teams still struggling financially? The league likely will argue the size of the pie doesn?t matter if the players? slice is too big. NHL players receive 57 percent of revenue. The NFL and NBA ? the other major leagues with salary-cap systems ? each got their players to accept about 50 percent last year.
NHLPA executive director Don Fehr brought up a third example. The former leader of the Major League Baseball Players Association noted that baseball ? a sport with no salary cap and ?much more sophisticated and detailed revenue sharing? ? went through its third straight negotiation without a work stoppage. He said he was not suggesting reporters use baseball as a role model, only that they include it in their analyses.
The players likely will argue that the problem is not their slice of the pie but how the owners generate and share their revenue. The salary cap and salary floor are tied to league-wide revenue, which has grown from $2.1 billion to $3 billion over the course of this CBA, but revenues vary dramatically from team to team. This season?s salary floor is $48.3 million ? $9.3 million above the original cap ? causing problems for low-revenue teams.
Most of the NHL?s revenue is generated locally, even more than baseball?s, and so the union might want a revenue-sharing system that is even more sophisticated and detailed than baseball?s.
The ideal balance would be to take just enough from the rich teams to support the poor teams, but not so much as to discourage investment on either end of the spectrum. Everyone should have the incentive to try to spend, to win and to increase revenue. No one should maneuver for the most revenue sharing.
To devise such a system, the NHLPA would need an intimate knowledge of the finances of each team in the league.

Clock-fixing, huh? Well, the last time clock-fixing or 'clock-malfunctioning' was in the mid-'70's between the WHA (Team Canada) and the Soviets. Team Canada coach Billy Harris started nary a protest, surprisingly, but, there were plenty of emotions running high amongst the players (us, that is). Those Soviets just knew that Canadians had a penchant for coming-from-behind...so, the clock had other ideas...

Well, I think it's safe to say Jaroslav Halak's name should no longer be floating around the rumour mill. Since the calendar flipped to 2012, he's 8-1-0 with a 1.21 GAA and a .951 Sv%.

No worries... Maybe it's not so much of an issue after all.

Stupid Gagner... Reimer would have totally been the NHL player of the week had Gagner not found his inner freak.

6 goals and 5 assists in his last three periods of play.
Somewhere, Darryl Sittler is sneering.

He had 22 points before this started. In less than 2 games, he's put up half that.
