    Versteeg traded to Chicago

    Heard the plan is to play him on the third line. Chicago adds some good depth/a familiar face (to coaches & players) for a reasonable price. good deal for them imo. I'm pretty sure it's half the cap hit as well.. can't look for a source right now but I'll check later if no one finds one by then.

    Overtime modifications on table at GMs meeting.

    Not that they could regulate it this way at all but shootouts are an exciting way to end a high scoring tie game imo.. low scoring, not so much. Anyway, I'm all for extending OT a little but continuous until someone wins would be a little excessive. I'd like 10 min 4v4 then a shootout. Or, if they want to get rid of shootouts completely, a point shouldn't be rewarded for an OT loss but could be for a tie after the 10 min..

    Babs Finally happy about 2nd line

    I've never been more excited for a line than I am for a Tatar-helm-nyq third line.

    Varlamov Arrested

    He hired a new lawyer and pushed his court date back to Dec 2nd.. so basically it's business as usual, drop the puck until then. http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2013/11/12/varlamov-hires-new-lawyer-pushes-court-date-to-dec-2/

    11/12 GDT : Jets 3 at Red Wings 2 (SO)

    I don't think monster takes over as #1 unless an injury occurs.. that said, I wouldn't be surprised to see them split time IF monster continues to play well & I think he will. They were talking about the reduced pad size rules in regards to monster (on fsd before last night's game) and I think it might've made him faster/better.. his pads were massive before. then again, I expected a high level of play from him since he signed here so maybe it's just that he's healthy. Either way, I'm excited to see him between the pipes again & if he plays well/puts some pressure on Howie, I think it'll elevate jimmys play as well

    Step 2: get something for Miller while you still can. Step 3: profit?

    Rumor: trade talks btw EDM & BUF

    I've seen that mentioned on prohockeytalk as well.. wonder what Philly would send over for him. Honestly I don't think they have much to offer. Oils could use some grit.. maybe Wayne Simmonds could be part of it? Idk
  11. would be great for the oils to get miller and he could ddefinitely use a change of scenery.. http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2013/10/17/report-oilers-sabres-working-on-major-trade/

    What would you do?...

    I never said the wings could pull off a trade for him.. just throwing him potentially being on the move out there. If only we could have bought out Sammy.. then mayyybe there's a slight chance. Though I'd still don't it. As it were now, it'd take Sammy allowing a trade there and probably xo, mraz, picks in addition to Sammy. And even then it might be a long shot..

    What would you do?...

    Agreed, we don't.. or at least aren't willing to give up what it might take. I just like the idea of bigger name players potentially being on the move. And I do like the oilers :x

    Datsyuk in shootouts

    Yea, I imagine it is as well.. but if anyone could do it, it's pav. I just think he should look into mixing it up a little.. keep goalies on their toes. Even if he just skated in and ripped a shot in the slot I bet goalies wouldn't see that coming. If he scores a couple like that, faking shots becomes a lot more effective. Idk, just my thoughts but either way I'm not worried.. it's pav, he'll figure it out.

    Datsyuk in shootouts

    I'd agree there.. I wonder why. You'd think he'd have no problem coming up with new ideas.

    Datsyuk in shootouts

    Right. It sucks that he missed the net but you said that pavelec anticipated it and played it.. which to me implies that if he hit the net, it would've been a save

    Datsyuk in shootouts

    If pav hit the net, it was in. Unfortunate that he missed but he had the whole top left corner that time.Edit: spelling

    Ok the goal sucks BUT right before.. "there's Quincy coming back with a good defensive play" Not something you hear everyday

    26 shots thru 2 periods isn't bad

    11/12 GDT : Jets 3 at Red Wings 2 (SO)

    Well the good news is, we're doing great in their zone. Just need work on breakouts and can't give up odd man rushes.. not a bad game so far

    11/12 GDT : Jets 3 at Red Wings 2 (SO)

    Ugh anytime our top line isn't out there, the breakout looks terrible if there's just a little bit of pressure
