It's been so long since we've had real hockey to discuss. Now it's back, and I already can't keep up with all the stories, narratives, prospect reviews and general hockey furore that is going around. Let's take a look at what's been happening around the hockey world this weekend:
----------
- The World Cup of Hockey saw the first round of preliminary stage games take place with wins for Teams Canada, North America, Sweden and Europe. Here are the standings. [NHL]
- Team Europe gave us the first goal of the tournament, from Marian Gaborik, and also the first win as they saw off Team USA 3-0 in a huge upset.
