THIS TANK STOPS FOR NO ONE CHOO-CHOO MOTHEREFFERS

Can't handle all that HYPE!!! LGRW!

Blue Jackets. Why did it have to be Blue Jackets? HYPE! LGRW

What’s more dead, this site or wings?

Bertuzzi is really hungry tonight. Mickey, with all due respect, I think Frk's shot selection is the least of our PP's problems. You want to complain about how a missed Frk shot leads to the puck coming out of the zone and time ticking off the power play? Let's talk about how our power play has had a serious problem with holding the blue line for the past half-decade.

It's pretty even I think! I couldn't believe after I came back to LGW-I moved across the country and was without the interwebz for a while-how many users were either not posting anymore or just gone. I miss a lot of the posters that don't post anymore, BUT thankfully all of you are still here

Completely fair result.

Is there any real reason why we continue to play Luke "Bad Penalty/Can't Produce Points" Witkowski? Such a waste of a roster spot, all because Blashill coached him at Western... I'd rather Turgeon get valuable playing time, or Lorito, or Puempel... ANYONE!

HELM! Wings tie it right up.

Vanek's playing against ud tonight, tonight...

I gave it a D because Holland didn't trade all 12 roster players I hate and failed to obtain Karlsson

I gave it a B. I went into this trade deadline with the mindset that we need to free up cap space for next year. Larkin, Mantha, AA all need new contracts and we were right up against the cap. Mrazek is gone. Tatar and his $5.3 mil contract is gone. Mike Green and his $6 mil will be off the books this summer as well. There's potential that we could re-sign him, which I wouldn't be opposed to as good defensemen are hard to find, but he'll be 33 next year and I don't see why someone with his skills at his age would want to say with a team that's in a rebuilding process. So in all likelihood, we'll have another $6 mil in cap space. Which, obviously, is great. Nyquist, Kronwall and Howard are all up after next year, so that's another $15 mil there. I think we're in good shape, cap wise, to resign some key players for our future. We don't want a situation where we're losing these guys because we're locked in with an underperforming vet. The one mark against Holland for this deadline is the inability to move Green. Yes, I know he was injured and his NTC limited where he could go, but why wasn't he traded well before his injury? Why wasn't he traded right after the All Star game? Why are we risking the potential of him getting injured and waiting until the last minute to deal him? I get it, hindsight is 20/20, but its not like his value was going to increase anymore. My point is, all of this should have been handled before his injury occurred.

Pretty amazing job when we bring a young kid up and play him a total of 5:25 and zero time on the powerplay.... Just let this sink in, Witkowski played 9:16... There is no logic in this place.
