UPDATE: Minnesota signed RW Jason Pominville to a 5-year contract extension. If I were playing on a line with Mikko Koivu and Zach Parise, I'd sign on the dotted line too. After seeing his former team, the Buffalo Sabres, play last night against Detroit, he may be happier than ever with a new contract....Boston signs solid D-man Dennis Seidenberg to a 4-year extension....ALL UPDATED IN THE GUIDE ALREADY!!! THE ROAD LESS TRAVELLED--With the Detroit Red Wings moving into the Eastern Conference, people have been saying how the competition is tougher in the East. I say that the perennial powerhouse Red Wings will benefit from not having to travel across multiple time zones so many times across a full NHL season just to play a game. All that travel takes its toll on one's body and mental toughness.  You could reasonably expect better than average numbers from the Detroit players this season because of this factor, and you will probably notice the difference in their level of play as the season progresses. Detroit finished in the middle of the pack last season in terms of Power Play ranking.  By the looks of last night's game, they are gunning for the top spot  in that category as they sported a 1st power play unit of Daniel Alfredsson and Niklas Kronwall at the points with Johan Franzen, Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk rounding out the unit. Although they were held off the board in last night's game, this group looks lethal. More Game Notes: NEW SEASON, NEW PLAYERS, NEW BEGINNINGS--New acquisition G Jonathan Bernier looked very solid in net for the Toronto Maple Leafs as he turned away 31 of 32 shots on goal to earn the road victory against Steve Mason and the Philadelphia Flyers. Bernier has stepped out from behind Jonathan Quick's shadow in Los Angeles and now battles James Reimer for playing time in TO. Bernier raised the bar with last night's solid effort.  Mason, who was acquired at the trade deadline last season, and Bernier are trying to prove to their teams that they can handle the No. 1 job and last night was a good start for both even though Mason took the loss....Speaking of new acquisitions, Leafs C David Bolland scored twice and looked like he had no trouble fitting in with the new club just 2 games into the season. Along with the 2 goals, he took 3 SOG and had 2 Hits and 1 Blocked Shot.  In the opener against Montreal, he didn't get on the score sheet, but was involved throughout the game with 2 SOG, 1 BS and 4 Hits.  Solid 5-6 forward on your fantasy squad....New Head Coach Patrick Roy may be doing wonders for Colorado Avalanche G Semyon Varlamov as the goaltender turned aside 35 of 36 SOG as the Avs cruised to a 6-1 home victory. Having a Hall-of-Fame goaltender head coach in your ear every night can only help Varlamov who seemed lost at times last season....Not so new was C Ryan O'Reilly getting a goal and an assist with 6 SOG. O'Reilly often gets overlooked come fantasy draft day, but this guy can score, and is consistent, which is what you look for in fantasy hockey....C Nathan MacKinnon is the newest of the new as he was selected with the 1st overall selection in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft and he showed why he was chosen in that spot as he collected 2 assists in his inaugural NHL game. Congrats Nathan! This week's ROMIE HITS THE POST takes a look at the unsettling Pittsburgh Penguin goaltending situation. Don't miss it!
