    Leafs are really going for McDavid. Buffalo did Detroit a huge favor by beating Montreal of all teams to end their skid.

    National Hockey League Feb 2-8 Week GDT

    That's something I'm partially on the fence about....I like the gap growing, but would also like to see Florida in the playoffs.

    CBJ's Jack Johnson files for bankruptcy

    Johnson has earned more than $18 million during his nine-year NHL career, not including the $5 million he will be paid this season by the Blue Jackets. Almost all of the money is gone, and some of his future earnings have already been promised — which is why Johnson, surrounded by a new team of financial advisers and an attorney, signed his financial surrender. The scene was nearly four years in the making, after a string of risky loans at high interest rates; defaults on those loans, resulting in huge fees and even higher interest rates; and three lawsuits against Johnson, two of which have been settled and one that’s pending. “I’d say I picked the wrong people who led me down the wrong path,” Johnson, a 27-year-old defenseman, told The Dispatch last week. “I’ve got people in place who are going to fix everything now. It’s something I should have done a long time ago.” He has declined to comment further. But sources close to Johnson have told The Dispatch that his own parents — Jack Sr. and Tina Johnson — are among the “wrong people” who, as Johnson put it, led him astray financially. Quote:In 2008, Johnson parted ways with agent Pat Brisson, who represents some of the National Hockey League’s biggest stars, including Sidney Crosby, Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews. With no agent and little knowledge of how the financial world works, Johnson turned over control of his money to his parents. Quote:“Jack would ask (his parents) questions: ‘What’s this? What are these guys calling about?’  ” a source said. “And they would tell him not to worry about it, just worry about playing hockey. “These were his parents, right? He trusted them. It wasn’t until last spring or early summer that he understood there was a significant problem.” In his bankruptcy filing, Johnson claims assets of “less than $50,000” and debts of “more than $10 million,” although sources say the debt could be in the neighborhood of $15 million. Quote:Johnson has cut off all contact with his family, a source said. Johnson’s paychecks from the Blue Jackets have been garnisheed to the point where, at the end of last season, “His paychecks were gone before he even got them,” a source said.http://bluejacketsxtra.dispatch.com/...ce=twitterfeed If true, what a rotten thing for his own parents to do.

    Lobster. The person below me didn't forget that this was the "person below me" thread, like the two posters above me did.

    LA puts Mike Richards on waivers

    He and Carter had that reputation, whether or not it was based in reality is still kind of up in the air. I haven't heard anything about him partying too much in LA.
