Here are some stories that are circulating around the blogs this evening;
- Fans in New Jersey are wondering how to solve the conundrum that is Dainius Zubrus. How many players start off lightning hot and cool off.

- The Flyers grade Simon Gagne. He’s rock solid.
- So many Sabres have come and gone in the organization over the past 39 years. But who was the best wearing their number. They debate #4. Tell me when they get to #16. (anyone know who that was??)
