Are there any Canadians that would be willing to help me figure out what to do to get one down to MN?

Not currently for sale, but I'll get an email when they are.

Kreegs, just got the email that they're in. They're $150(!), let me know how/if/when you want to do this. Did you confirm they won't sell to no -Canadians?
AWESOME!!!! I sent you a PM.

There's a ton of action tonight, including the rematch between the Hawks & Kings that battled in the WCF from the last two years (but notably, from game 7 of last year!)

Tough loss by Vancouver tonight (in regulation), despite a three point effort on the bench (Vey).

TSN's latest Power Rankings feature this scathing but accurate indictment of the last-place Edmonton Oilers:

"Winless in nine, the Oilers' season is pretty much going down the drain and there may not be a franchise whose fan base is less inclined to accept it. It's one thing to sink for a few years, get high picks and turn the corner. It's another for a team to have already missed the playoffs for eight seasons, stockpiled young talent and still have no hope in the ninth season."

The winningest goaltender in NHL history may be signing with a brand new team after spending his entire career with the New Jersey Devils. Martin Brodeur appears set to join the St. Louis Blues as a backup today.

Some are saying he should just take his cue and retire on top. I think Brodeur has earned the right to do whatever the heck he wants with his career. He obviously loves hockey, and if any team has a place for him on the ice, then he should be able to decide for himself and retire when he's good and ready.

Damn straight, Kong. If anything, leaving the Devils should mark a high point in his long career. ;)

I don't disagree with that at all.

Update: Blues sign Brodeur to a 1-year, $700k contract.

I'm very happy he will be back to play hockey for another year. Yeah, I think he should just stop playing when he says he's done...

Nice rebound game by the Kings after a disappointing regulation loss against Chicago. Also, the Flames continue to play surprisingly well!
