    My thoughts: 11-3-0!!! WOOOOOOOOOO!!! Queue up the Jeffersons theme song. Congrats to Parise for his All-Star appearance. Congrats to Langenbrunner for being the NHL's player of the month. And last but certainly not least, a hearty congrats to Mike "Doc" Emrick for his 2008 Foster Hewitt Award and the nice little pregame ceremony.

    *Assuming my spreadsheet is correct.
    **Goal totals and averages do not include the extra "goal" awarded in the shootout. Oh wait, there were no shootouts in January, WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
