The last time an NHL player had an eight-point regular season game (1988), Sam Gagner wasn't born yet. That he tied an Oilers club record held by legends like Wayne Gretzky and Paul Coffey makes his performance last night against Chicago that much more glorious. Since we can't depend on you having access to these elsewhere, here's all eight points earned by Sam Gagner ("Gagner" being French for "To Win," by the way) last night. [TSN] More »

We told you last week that she went away, ostensibly at her father's urging. But, just like that, 22-year-old Paulina Gretzky is back. While her new avatar is one of those holiday family photos of her and Mom and the other Gretzky children, her latest tweet includes what you see above. As you were.

Flyers defenseman Chris Pronger stopped by XM Radio's NHL Live studios in New York for a half-hour interview on Friday morning. For a brief interlude, the host threw things to their correspondent in Boston. But the mics remained hot, at least for a few minutes available in the NHL.com podcast edition (to which bat-eared tipster Andy kindly directed us). More »

The only part of this clip from today's episode of "The Talk" that's really worth watching is at the very beginning. The host asks for "somebody to help me out," as in, to make some noise, and a girl in the front row stands and holds her arm up in desperation; she's thinking she'll get to say something to Justin Bieber or maybe touch his freshly-sheared hair.

We don't remember that old cartoon show in the early '90s called "Pro Stars," but it apparently featured animated versions of Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky and Bo Jackson doing what they do best: Fighting crime!

We love that the Las Vegas Review-Journal has an around-town gossip column, if just because we find it amazing that the author isn't always being shot. Regardless, the paper has a rundown of Wayne Gretzky and his wife's betting limits at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. More »

And so much of it centers around Janet Jones, a woman who has never been particularly popular with Canadians and certainly won't improve if they don't win the gold medal next week. More »

All kinds of updates today in the scandal that, to swipe Off Wing Opinion's term, is the "Unabookie" scandal. (So named because the NHL's investigator is the same guy who nailed the Unabomber.) More »
