Sadly, I realized I have to wake up at 5:45 tomorrow morning feeling as energized as ever. So I won't be able to catch this one. Go Wings!

I was just looking at the schedule for the Red Wings today, and I noticed that the Wings play the Canadiens on Wednesday the 25th. This game also is to be broadcasted on NBCSN, which got me thinking. After every episode of NHL 36 that has aired so far (on Wednesdays), they cut to the game that night, which includes the player that was featured in that weeks episode. And since we know about NBC and Canadian teams, I have a pretty good feeling that it will be a Red Wing player on the show that week. The question is, if it is a Red Wing player, who would it be?

SOMEONE SIGNED BRETT LEBDA. News of the day. CBJ Radek Martinek out for season with concussion, sign Brett Lebda to one year deal.

Well Potter stepped on his face with some good force. Hope he returns soon, hes a really good kid.

Flames put Brett Carson on waivers. https://twitter.com/snowdennhl/status/160047641953173504

I agree. Good choices that aren't Phaneuf.

Ha autocorrect can be a ***** sometimes. I think the Wings would rather pick up Ruutu, him being less injury-prone. He also is more of a scorer, while Hemsky is more of a passer. Nabokov is a definite possibility, but I have heard reports that Moen is actually off the block.

Canucks recall Chris Tanev from the AHL.

Panthers trade Dadonov/Jenks to Hurricanes for Matsumoto/M. Lindstrom http://hurricanes.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=612448

Well they might make it mandatory now. I've heard from a reliable source that Taylor Hall likely done for the year. Not as reliable as I thought.

Waiver Transactions from earlier today: Bob McKenzie: Bob McKenzie:

We've been discussing this here.

Don't expect Chara to pick any Canucks.

Here's my midday post I guess haha. Boyes, Stafford, Roy believed to be part of trade talks surrounding Buffalo. Philly may need a new goalie. Bobvrosky and Bryz this year aren't stepping up to the job. Oilers and Leafs are talking a deal involving Leafs D. Sam Gagner may be involved.

Official details TBA at the ASG. Events at both Big House and Comerica.

Here's what I have for you guys this morning: Clowe will not be traded. The rumor was started by a phony Nick Kyperos account, and he will definitely not be traded while Havlat is injured. Still lots of speculation surrounding the Leafs. I don't have any actual details, but I'm told the Burke will make a deal for sure within the next 2 weeks, and possibly as early as Friday.

Man Bachman is really stepping up tonight. Sadly. Not a bad PP though..

Nice dive right there.

They were booing the Cowboys defensive coordinator if you were wondering.

Huds!!!!

f***.

Yeah Jesse Spector just told me that they would only trade Subban if they "completely loose their marbles." So nothing imminent but doubt he will go to the Wings if he is traded.

He won't be traded.

Here's my daily post in this thread on rumors and such. Clowe is not in the lineup today, but hearing that little trade talks surround the Leafs right now. It was though Schenn and Kadri were sitting because of a trade, but Bob McKenzie on Twitter says this is not true, and Schenn is probably playing. In one of my posts yesterday, I said VAN and ANA may have been involved in a "minor deal." This was a rumor started by Ex-Blue Jackets GM Doug MacLean on the Fan590 radio station last night. Again this was proven to not be true. Ryan Miller disagrees with the fact that the Sabres need a trade. If they continue losing, however, we could see them become sellers instead of contenders this year. Look for the Wild to address Mikko Koivu's injury with a trade. Best chance at a top-6 forward would be trading Josh Harding. The Tampa Bay Lightning are in need of a goalie, so a deal could be worked out between these two teams. And, in other news, Detroit Tigers DH Victor Martinez will likely miss most of the 2012 season sue to a torn left ACL. Dave Dombrowski (Tigers GM) says he may address this with a trade, but a free agent signing seems more likely. DD says that if they sign a free agent, it will most likely be for a short-term deal. More rumors will probably pop up during the night; I'll try to post them here for people who actually read this thread.

Another rumor for tonight: Ryan Clowe may be headed for the Leafs, Burke has expressed Internet in him before.
