Sunday FTS - Noddin' ma head like yeeeaaahhhh!

C-Mac! - A record setting start for him!

Oh my, The first couple weeks of NHL action have been nothing short of fantastic. Games in October matter.. right now! They can determine whether or not your team will make the playoffs. So get on your band-wagon and get cheering. I, for one, am on the edge of my seat every day from the NHL action. I recommend getting involved with a fantasy hockey league, it will keep you interested all season long (well after your team has been eliminated from playoff contention :p). Some NHL season thought are next followed by today's FTS links.

• Congrats to Clarke MacArther. He has set a Maple Leafs record for scoring a goal in his first four games as a Maple Leaf. He currently leads in the NHL with 5 goals. Future 'Rocket' Richard winner eh??

• Tampa Bay looks good. They must be ecstatic with a 3 - 1- 0 start. AP said this team would make the playoffs.. dare anyone say he would be wrong?

• Chicago has currently scored the more goals than any other team... However this year it has nothing to do with the depth on the team, Marian Hossa is a man on a mission! He got his cup, now he wants to be the reason his team win. 

• It looks like the Phoenix situation is finally drawing to a close. More in today's links, but the "to-long-won't read" summary is: A buyer has been found, team will likely stay in Phoenix. 

Links after the jump!

Logan Couture is coming of age - Get to know this player Sharks fans! I've always liked Couture from his Junior days. He will push the veterans on San Jose for playing all season long.

Turco vs Crawford - A goalie controversy (again!) all season long in Chicago?

Ovechkin is the early Hart Trophy favourite? -Pfft, I would put Marian Hossa on top of this list. But yay Ovechkin anyway.

Sabres and Canadiens need to help their goaltenders - I think you could add about 12 other NHL teams that should take more pride in the defense.

How NHL teams will keep their expenses down - Latest DGB: Pittsburgh Penguins - Cut back spending on unnecessary luxuries, such as competent wingers.

More on the Phoenix sale  - Seems like a good deal, but the City of Glendale still has to fork up $25M (maybe per season!)

Clarke MacArthur and his impact - Way to go kiddo! Can you believe Atlanta walked away from his
 arbitration?

Is Randy Carlyle the first coach to get canned this year? - He's apparently odds on favourite.

Who own da chief? - Hey something for every hardcore hockey fan. The making of "slapshot" is coming out.
