Nightly Hockey Hits: More people watch movie about hockey than actual hockey, are the Nordiques coming back, Early season NHL woes are nothing to fret about, Is there a need for a better GM Place etiquette?

Some news and notes covering the latest hockey news from across the blogs:

• The Hockey News:  Quebec City mayor speaks with Gary Bettman about return of Nordiques to NHL.  If they get a state of the art arena there, it would seem likely that they could support a team.
  
• T.O. Sports:  Early season NHL woes are nothing to fret about.  No question that it is too early to panic.
• Hockey Capital:  Brian Elliot’s new mask.  Cool mask.
• Flames Insider:  Steve Ott on Iginla and Quinn.  Old time hockey is a thing of the past.
• The Bruins Blog:  Bruins hoping for Isles paradise.  Boston needs to get back to consistent play.
• Nucks Misconduct:  Is there a need for a better GM Place etiquette?  Seem like good points, especially respecting another country’s anthem.
  
• Thrashers 411:  Congratulations to Kovalchuk and Kane.  Nice that the current and future Atlanta superstars achieved it on the same night.
• Sporting News:  Boudreau expects Ovechkin to put on a show.  Should be a great game tonight in Detroit.
• On Goal Analysis:  A testament to parity.  Good points.
• Icing:  Blackhawks waive Smolenak, recall Skille.  Hawks are ready to walk the red carpet tonight.
• Working the Corners:  Coaching connections aplenty as Sharks face Wild — and McLellan’s thoughts on that Thornton line.  Should be a good coaching duel.
• Puck the Media:  More people watch movie about hockey than actual hockey.  I can attest that the movie was pretty wicked.  As an aside I saw a preview for Duane “the Rock” Johnson new hockey movie.  Painful.
