**TAMPA BAY** This comes as a shockwave through the NHL that the Lightning and RFA Stamkos are NOT EVEN CLOSE to getting a deal done. Teams are eligible to submit offer sheet July 1.

It was rumored that the Winnipeg Jetscome West and the Blue Jackets come East. I really don't see a need to have unbalanced divisions when all's were doing is a even swap of 2 teams. One conference having more than the other isn't fair. Stop tinkering with s*** and lets move on.

Its looking like the Bieksa deal is a 5 yr contract extension. Cap hit could be in $4.5 mil range.

If there is anybody moving it's Atlanta aka Winnipeg Jets to the West and 1 team to the East. This whole re-alignment s*** is just that...s***. ESPN reported that this came about because of the time zone. Really?? it's been this way for years and now it's about the "time zone"? This going back to a unbalanced divisions is what we got away from in the 80's. This s*** id getting dumber by the minute. Every time Bettman opens his mouth s*** falls out.

With the Sharks getting Brent Burns they just got a shutdown D-man and they are MUCH better. I guess we'll see who makes the biggest splash after 1 July, but for now, it looks like SJ has the biggest splash followed by Kings then the Blue Jackets. As for the Flyers...they just got themselves another Bobby Luo...a choker. Don't pass up on James Wisniewski.

I'm surprised they traded their captain. Guess we'll see if Ilya s***s the bed like Luongo did in the Stanley Cup Final. Ilya isn't that good and...the 6-foot-3, 200-pounder agreed in November to a $58-million, 11-year contract with the Flyers. Now the Blue Jackets have a $5M cap hit this coming season...I don't get the thinking on this trade. That is jacked up. I hope Philly bombs this season. "Carter's agent, Rick Curran, confirmed the deal on Thursday afternoon. He said he was stunned by the news after being told repeatedly by Flyers officials that the club was not discussing trading Carter to the Blue Jackets." That's f***ed up!

Tim Thomas save% is the best in NHL history.

Congradulations Nick and Wing fans...I'm sure he'll enjoy this one since it is an end of an era.

Congradulations to Tim Thomas...the best save % in NHL history and for winning the hardware hat trick. WAY TO GO TIMMY!!!

Chara has played a huge role in bringing Lord Stanley's Cup back to the city we call The Hub of Hockey. I think his numbers will speak for themselves versus the other guys.

While Chara wins the Norris Trophy, Thomas will be completing the hardware hat trick with winning the Vezina Trophy.

If Philly does ink Bryzgalov to a 5 year/$5.5M deal then 1 of Philly's goalies, or both, will end up on eBay at a great price. One option to replaceing Osgood lol.

Vancouver Riots After Canucks Loss in Game 7 Being born and bread in Boston we are brought up not to like the Canadians and blah blah blah. Vancouver on the other hand...I don't know what to say other than you guys are a bunch of freaking idiots. There is no excuse to trash your city, a lesson I figured they learned in 1994 at the hands of the New York Rangers. I guess not. On a more positive note...you wont see the Bruins dump players to stay under the salary cap like the Chicago Blackhawks did after they won the Cup last year. The city of Vancouver and it's hockey organization is a joke plus an embarrassment to the NHL. We're all passionate about our teams but s***...this is totally uncalled for.

The Vancouver Schmucks (western conference dive, embellishing and blubbering champs) didn't show up to play and neither did the Thelma and Louise. With a great blend of great seasoned talent, youth and grit, Lord Stanly's Cup comes home to the Hub of Hockey. All's I got to say is Vancouver has Bobby Luo for 11 more years at what...$7mil? LOL. Boston has the greatest sports teams and the greatest fans around...championships in Baseball, Basketball, Football and Hockey.

LOL I'd like to see that match up after everybody else has a turn in the winter classic.

Detroit in another winter classic? really? they the Pens of the west? Everybody was bitching about the Pens playing in another winter classic, including myself, and I'm bitching about this. How about we let other teams play in the winter classic before we start showing favorites here. How about the the Philadelphia Flyers vs the New York Rangers or the New Jersey Devils vs the Minnesota Wild and so on. Lets see other American teams first...

Being an original 6 team I have to defend my fellow original 6 team. The Islanders getting Nabokov is crazy. He's already said that he wants to play for a Stanley Cup contending team, and if that doesn't happen he will not report to the team that picks him up. He will have to sit out this season and the Wings can then sign him as a FA. Granted it blows, however, it looks like that's how this is going to be played out.
