If I'm not mistaken, hits are "determined" and recorded in the scoresheet by someone of the home team's choosing (or perhaps a local member of the press, like the 3 stars), so it's not too surprising to see a vastly overblown stat like that. But still, 20 hits? One every minute of the first period? Someone's gotta be playing and recording THOSE stats...

Two observations. 1 - Feed. The. Mule. 2 - I HATE games in Columbus. The stupid mic's along the glass make watching the games unbearable, with all the dumbass fans banging the boards.

Where's a working Portal device when you need one? Obviously I hope Stuart stays here, but given those circumstances, I can't say I blame him for looking somewhere on the West Coast. Even if it's just not wanting to move the family, you still gotta feel for the guy.

Please remember to keep this discussion on topic, everyone. For the record, criticizing each other's dedication as a fan, or their posting style would be considered "off topic". Thanks.

I'm seeing lots of posts now that are debunking the Stuart-to-NYR rumors. Still early though, so anything is possible. But unless Kenny found a trade for a big name defenseman, sending Stuart to the Rangers for only draft picks doesn't make much sense at all.

A conditional 7th round pick? Wow, that's gotta be an ego bruiser for Commie.

Ok guys. Let's refocus the discussion to the trade deadline. I think there's been more than enough criticism of each other's posting styles.

Actually, it sounds like Greg Sherman (Avs GM) knew that the Bolts might end up flipping Quincey, as he said that Yzerman brought up the idea of a 3 team trade when they were working out the details of Downie to Colorado. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/did-avalanche-know-yzerman-turning-kyle-quincey-detroit-035306655.html

Glad to hear its not anything serious!

Seeing as how he's a Mod, and you're not, I'd bet NFM25 knows more about post removal and LGW's Forum Rules than you do. And since this thread is about the Trade Deadline, and not an open debate of rules enforcement, I'd strongly suggest you keep any further discussion on topic.

Sounds like Lombardi's backtracking now, per Elliotte Friedman.

Still Alive - GLaDOS (For those Portal fans out there)

That's funny!

That's what I'm thinking too. Bringing in Quincey means both Kindl and Commie are going to be sitting, so I'd expect further moves from Detroit before the deadline.

Actually, maybe not? Per Bob McKenzie ...and now confirmed! Quincey comes back to Detroit.

*ahem* Now that that's out of my system... As long as Datsyuk is healthy and ready for the playoffs, then missing him for a few weeks in February is an acceptable price to pay. Although, it wouldn't surprise me if 2 weeks stretches to 3, or more. Get well soon, Pavs! Bertuzzi and Franzen won't be the same without you!

Updated topic title. As already mentioned, Conks cleared waivers.

Per the Detroit Free Press...

As requested. Credit to kook_10, this was brilliant! Original post (go give him a "+", not me. It's his work).

Not surprising, with the way Joey's been playing. He's slated to start tomorrow in Chicago.
