I was watching Adventureland last night and in between humming along to some great tunes and realizing that Kristin Stewart was that same gal from Twilight, I drifted to thoughts of hockey. Suffice to say, the movie was not all that great (the soundtrack was pretty killer though...)

- Sticking with the number 6, Leaf and Lion takes a crack at what [the top 6 forward lines](http://leafandlion.blogspot.com/2009/09/from-top-to-bottom.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) may look like.
- Vintage Leafs has more great pics, including [my favorite #10](http://vintageleafs.blogspot.com/2009/09/garry-valk-photograph.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) and a [better wearer of #1](http://vintageleafs.blogspot.com/2009/09/ed-chadwick-photograph.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) than the previous individual.

- No longer content with playing for money, Jason Allison now admits his heart is in the game. [Hockey Bums has the latest](http://hockey-bums.com/archives/1749?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com).
- The Strangest One wonders [what the point](http://scottywazz.blogspot.com/2009/09/euro-can-cup-wraps-up-first-year.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) of the Euro-Can Cup is, and if it's really worth it in the first place.
- As the saying goes: If it looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, it must be a duck. Or, better yet, to paraphrase a bard named Bill, [something is rotten in the NHLPA offices](http://www.coppernblue.com/2009/9/1/1011289/forensic-accountant-quits-nhlpa?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com).

**Update**
