  • Both Jay Bouwmeester and Rene Bourque are happy to see their former teammate Craig Anderson succeeding in Colorado.
  • Eric Nystrom would be happy if he could score as many garbage goals as David Moss.

  • Martin Havlat was quiet in his return to Chicago, as the Blackhawks, backstopped by Cristobal Huet, handled the Wild.
