Here are your Puck Headlines: A glorious collection of news and views collected from the greatest blogosphere in sports and the few, the proud, the mainstream hockey media.

• Ak Bars Kazan of the KHL is going after former Colorado Avalanche star Peter Forsberg(notes), and Jeff Klein of the New York Times indicates that Foppa may be charmed by the riches the Russian league can offer him beyond those in a capped NHL. In either case, we just hope to see Forsberg in one more Olympic run for the Swedes, before they lose to the U.S. [Slap Shot and Denver Post]

• Forbes warns the NHLPA not to allow a group of agents to set the agenda for the membership: "By pushing their individual agendas the agents are undermining the majority of players. The players better fix this quickly or the next CBA will be a debacle." [Forbes]

• The Calgary Flames claim did nothing wrong in securing H1N1 vaccinations, which are in short supply in Alberta. Team president Ken King has said the hockey players are "at an elevated infection risk due to their physical contact." We're sure immune deficient children, pregnant women and the elderly are cool with that. [Sun Media]

• Tapeleg on the Flames' line-jumping for the shots: "The Calgary Flames deserved to be at the front of the Swine Flu inoculation line. If the Flames are sick, the entire economy of Calgary would crumble. After the CFL, what do they have? Is there any other excuse for the Red Mile? Bars would close left and right. People would have to read... books. Shudder." [Jerseys And Hockey Love]

• Carolina Hurricanes star Eric Staal(notes): He was Iron Man. [Canes Country]

• Down Goes Brown, who will be joining us for our Rumors Chat at 1 p.m., on Phil Kessel's(notes) debut with the Toronto Maple Leafs: "The Leafs' game plan for Kessel is apparently to play every second shift, generally ignore his linemates, and shoot at every opportunity from every angle. And here's the thing: I don't think that's a bad plan." [DGB]

• Pierre LeBrun was also impressed with Kessel, who brings an offensive dimension to "a Leafs lineup essentially devoid of top-six, high-end offensive talent." But he also calls Kessel a "star" on multiple occasions. Is Phil Kessel really a star in the NHL? [ESPN]

• Former Detroit Red Wings brawler Darren McCarty(notes) said he's one of those people who can walk away from the game and be content with it, but hasn't officially retired yet. [Snapshots]

• Coach Scott Gordon of the surprising New York Islanders responds to criticism of his team's physical play with the old 'size doesn't matter' spiel: "I think there isn't enough credit given to our players. It's not a question of being bigger. I think we have guys who are more willing to finish hits." [NY Post]

• Chatting with Pittsburgh Penguins power forward prospect Eric Tangradi(notes). [Pens Universe]

• Great look at the Chicago Blackhawks' "cap crisis," in an effort to separate fact from fiction. [Kukla]

• Puck Buddy Dave D. from Vancouver sends over this cruel, unusual and ultimately hilarious Leafs fan gift from River City Sports. "The fact that the players appear somewhat contemporary is a fail. I'd be more forgiving if the players looked as though they were from the fifties or sixties. One thing I do find funny is that it is severely discounted, meaning no one is buying it. Just like in real life."

• Buffalo Sabres have called up goaltender Jhonas Enroth(notes) from Portland after backup keeper Patrick Lalime(notes) hurt his groin. [Sabres]

• Sleepers and studs for the U.S. Olympic hockey team. Has James van Riemsdyk(notes) of the Philadelphia Flyers played himself into the conversation? [The Hockey Writers]

• The dates are set for the unveiling of Olympic hockey rosters. [LA Times]

• Also from THW, a chat with Columbus Blue Jackets pest Derek Dorsett(notes): "Whether it was mini-mites or novice or whatever it was, I was always gritty. It comes from my background; where I grew up, how I grew up and the family I came from." [THW]

• Kevin Allen of USA Today: "Although nothing imminent, I'm aware of a NHL team mulling whether to sign Chris Chelios(notes). He's +7, 4-1-5 in 5 AHL games, playing big minutes." [Kausatoday]

• Calgary puts Jarome Iginla(notes) and Olli Jokinen(notes) back together after that chemistry experiment already failed. In their defense, we keep pouring vinegar into our baking soda volcano to no avail, too. [Sun Media]

• If the Phoenix Coyotes are going to see their woeful attendance turn around, they'll need a committed owner and continued success on the ice. Of course, live pole dancers would probably help, too. But we imagine the NHL's not going for that. [Arizona Republic]

• No Patrik Elias(notes) against the Washington Capitals for the New Jersey Devils. [NHL]

• Finally, Sidney Crosby(notes) of the Pittsburgh Penguins discusses the best save of last night made by a non-goalie:
