Puck Daddy's take for what its worth. Alot of the same weve discussed here. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/jimmy-howard-contract-positive-development-red-wings-transition-181607127--nhl.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Looks like the will go with these lines tonight per Khan: Playoffs start tonight BTW. Cant drop 4 more if we plan on making it in.

Isnt NMC the same as NTC? How could you be moved but not traded? Just sent to GR? Itll be funny is we ever see the whole article to see how many of these sins kenny has avoided. And then well hear baout how horrible ESPN is in hockey coverage.

thats some trade deadline acquisition

ive never even heard of this guy. what happened to mccollum, or mrazek for that matter?

Not sure its fair to say hes refusing to pay up to the cap, as opposed to nothing is worth it that would put us in a crunch going forward. If they loaded up on salary this year, wed be unloading this summer, and still possibly missing the playoffs.

i thought cola played well last night. smith has struggled as of late so i think hell be out. cola will prob sit though as Kron, E, Lash wont sit.

outside of jagr for cheap for one year commitment, i dont really care for any of those guys. especially torres. where the hell did that come from?

Sunday was not a clear representation of hawks v wings. fluke game, took them to OT and SO in the 2 matchups already played. And although its unlikely, why cant our offense just turn it on and get hot for a month. Once we get Z back thats hopefully a boost for filp and Brunner. Franzen is capable, just streaky. Anything can happen.

Would NYR trade gaborik for filps and white? McKenxie said a few days ago they would have interest in white because of his puck moving abilities. Would get us a nice scorer, and free up a spot for Dekeyser if it happens. Probably wrong thread, but lets face it, this current one isnt going far.

Peter Chillari (?) comments right now are very interesting. Says that they had agreed to deal yesterday around noon, had scratched all appropriate players and called up who they needed to. Everything looked good until Feamster called him just before midnight to tell him jarome had chosen pitt over boston so the deal was off. Check the bruins twitter for all the quotes, but thats basically it in a nutshell.

Sounds like Iginla was in control this whole time. Also sounds like he basically screwed his team by forcing them to do it now as opposed to next week, and going for nothing. He aint going back to CGY after this year. Id be so butt hurt right now if I was a flames fan.

Well this is the first time Ive heard he is expected to return to CGY for next season after reading several articles over the past week or two, so I dont know where you got that from. It just seems so dirty for him to leave for a couple months only to come back. How would teammates feel, or even fans for that matter. Taking his 4 cups out of this situation, how would you feel if the wings traded Lids (and he agreed) at the deadline then we brought him back. Seems like it would completely tarnish his reputation in Detroit. Theres no way hes been the first person to be in this situation, yet nobody has ever been traded only to return the next year as UFA. Let alone to his caliber and significance to the team. Just doesnt make sense when you introduce the human emotion element.

Has that ever even happened before? And if this is the assumed outcome of all of this, why is CGY expecting to get some huge payment in return? No GM would ever do that.

I dont see how that could ever work.

nyquist odd man out?

Semin in his last 3 games, 0pts -5 rating.

If that were the case he would never allow to be traded anyway. whats he gonna do, goto a team and maybe win a cup, then just walk back in the door and not expect any sort of animosity?

Renaud Lavoie from TSN insists DET is not on Jaromes trade list. Shouldnt it be clear if he is or isnt?

Anybody care to explain why bobby ryan wasnt suspended for instigating a fight with under 5 min to play in the last one?

need to steal one of these 2. or even ot losses in both are fine. we need the points though. i think the rest of trip we can take care of business.

not horrible logic at all really. itd be nice if we could somehow sell and still make the playoffs, if only for the fact of keeping the playoff streak alive.

Big 3 games coming up. Need to take the points from Minny while at home, and make a statement to a potential first round matchup in the Ducks. Hopefully they werent getting bombed at the Taste of Hackeytown last night.

when i saw the pics of the millionaire jerseys a while back i thought they were hideous, but they werent that horrible during the game. they reminded me of the Norwegian(?) jerseys from miracle. and yes they looked big. joke of the night was "you know your team is bad when youre celebrating a stanley cup from 100 years ago."

@notpaveldatsyuk had the tweet of the season the other night https://twitter.com/NotPavelDatsyuk/status/313146754465951744
