ESPN hockey analyst Barry Melrose apologized for his plump remark about not stepping outside the Prudential Centerin in Newark in fear of being mugged. The mayor of Newark, Cory A. Booker, said it was a shame the way Melrose made New Jersey's largest city sound like a bad place and upsetting its population of 300,000. Melrose, who admitted the comment on the "Murder capital of the eastern seaboard" was a joke, now wants to come to Newark for lunch and a personal tour of the city. Way to go Barry! Face your fears!

Except for that incident nothing out of the ordinary really happened yesterday.
The Ottawa Senators keep winning. Last night they smashed the Toronto Maple Leafs for their eight straght win this season.
The Washington Capitals keep losing. Even the Atlanta Thrashers playing with a back-up goalie managed to get the better of the Caps (who also sported a back-up in their net), who find them selves in a very deep slump.
