I think the reason he wasn't traded is that every GM in the league must have known they had to buy him out otherwise.

As someone who lives in BC and watches a lot of Canuck games I really hope the Wings don't trade for Edler. He does not think a good game out there, and he's been like this the past two seasons. All the Canuck fans I know hope they trade him because he's so frustrating.

Awesome news, glad to have him leading Canada again. Julien was also a good choice to replace Lemaire.

On the lighter side of the action tonight did anybody else watching the CBC feed catch Z snubbing Pierre between the 3rd and OT? Here's a vine of it https://vine.co/v/bYv2x32e0JP

Why would you buy him out? He only makes 3.7 something against the cap, and with that cap hit he's a tradeable asset.

I watch PTI alot, and was watching this when it aired. He said "us" because he's from Chicago and a Blackhawks fan, and they corrected the Jimmy Williams thing right after the video ends and had a laugh about his mistake.

I think he'll get a chance somewhere at a starters salary. Also with how good Howard is playing and the new contract I don't think it would be fair or smart to put Howard in that situation. Could end up with another Luongo Schnieder situation.

Did you end up tossing an octopus tonight?

I think he said Backman was his defensive partner at some point, whether it was the World Juniors or on a Swedish club team.

Pierre Maguire brought him up earlier this year, he thought he has a lot of potential.

A big no to Kesler for me, he's embarrassing out there. Also as someone who lives in BC and watches a lot of Canuck games I would say no to Edler. I don't think people hear realize how bad he has been since the playoffs last year. He has some offense but is very poor on defence and can't give a breakout pass to save his life. He had many turnovers that lead directly to goals this season. Hamhuis is the only Canuck that would really interest me. Very good defensively and is capable of putting up 30 points a year.

Just don't give Chicago free time outs like at the end of game 3.

CBC showed the replay, Rosival fell on the stick as he and Abby got tangled up before the breakaway. Coulda been a penalty but wasn't a brutal miss call or anything imo.

Am I the only one who doesn't like the NBC broadcast mostly for Emerich? I can't stand the way he talks and the odd phrases he uses.

If you know how to mask your ip cbc streams all their games. Tsn isn't doing that yet.

Stream tsn or cbc depending on which broadcast gets the wings series. (probably tsn)

I agree. I've never been a big Eaves fan and have always been in favour of Miller playing over him. I think Tootoo brings more to the lineup as well.

Huge conspiracy here, the team with the second best odds won the first overall pick. That's just ridiculous.

He'll be here next year; if he wants to retire in the KHL like he has previously stated doesn't he have to finish his contract with the wings before he can sign in russia due to the agreement that was signed between the leagues?

I think you gotta rethink Chara for fake toughest, he's gone against many heavyweights including Laraque. Check out what he did to Koci http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtGEPl-Aaic

Great job as always.

I think the Preds have one of the best local broadcasts in the league. Im never too upset if I can't get the wings one when we play Nashville.

atta boy Cleary

missed the first 8 minutes of the 3rd period, anything major happen?

Dangerous play, but clearly reactionary and not intentional. He's not a dirty player by any stretch, so a fine or a warning seems about right. Edit: http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=656294&navid=nhl:topheads nhl.com has the story, and the hearing is only for a fine, so there's no suspension in play. Per the story, a fine exceeding $5000 a hearing is required.
