All we've talked about is needing that top 6 scoring winger, last year and the start of this year. I think it's safe to say we got him.

Ahh my mistake. Gooze made a couple of appearances and suddenly we tie it. Coincidence or did Columbus fear the epicness of Gooze?

Goose again?

Gooze.. for The Xym's avatar needs. Edit: Sputman beat me to it!

Wow Bobrovsky out?

I'll see if Flashy wants to claim this one or not, if he doesn't i'll take a crack at it. I'm always down for creative photoshops.

You should shoot this as an idea to Flashy as his next GDT, he'd be all over it.

He's on pace to face 70 shots in that game right now, the Leafs are leaving him hung out to dry. I'm not complaining, the Leafs can lose all they want.

Thanks Goose, how clutch has he been?

Glad he misfired there, he had the whole side of the net open.

Nullified, thank god.

I didn't see what happened but i'm assuming Smith did something dumb. Let's kill this penalty this time guys.

Nyquist just barely missed that one.

Big early PP here. Maybe it's just me but I think I would have started Monster tonight. We seem to score more and play better with him in net and this is a big enough game to justify it.

Come on guys wake up.. gotta cleanup that rebound Quincey.

Not the best way to start tonight, 40 seconds in and a PK.

Just an interesting tidbit here, St. Louis has already put 18 shots on Bernier with 5 mins still left in the 1st. If Reimer was in net chances are the Blues would have a 2-3 goal lead already.

Looking at the Jackets top 6 makes me feel a lot better about the condition of this team when healthier. As threatened as I am by Boone Jenner as their top line LW and all...

http://www.leaguegaming.com/forums/index.php Give it a look, you really only have to commit to 3 night games per week, they do 2 games each night Sunday-Wednesday and one game on Thursday. You can sign up for when you are available to play and your GM will schedule you in. Good community if you land on the right team, and it's easy to get traded elsewhere if you don't like the people you are playing with.

If we can't maintain civil and rational discussion about this trade and thread topic, it will be locked and we can all move along. I've already deleted multiple posts of people getting a bit too out of hand and tossing around borderline personal attacks here. Cool your jets and knock off the fighting, next step will be warnings issued.

Does anyone play in any organized leagues like League Gaming or VHL? I joined the LG sixes league a few weeks ago and it's a lot of fun. I'm playing for the Oshawa Generals CHL team right now at the RD position. I've put up 13 points in my first 6 games and we are about to head to the playoffs.

Greg ‏@GDubs10 2h . @penguins Hey James, long time fan first time tweeter. What's your favorite hockey play? The Flying V or the Flying Elbow? #askneal This one killed me Gotta love modern social media.

Backes has always been among my favorites in the NHL, he defines what a well rounded hockey player should be. He's the captain of one of the most offensively explosive teams, doesn't get pushed around, doesn't let his team mates get pushed around. He skates well, plays a sound two way game, he hits hard, he has a good attitude and is consistent. What isn't to like? He currently has 50 points in 66 games with 5 game winning goals, is a plus 11 and has nearly 250 hits. I would overpay to have him play for Detroit just because of what he brings to the table. A hockey player that can be used in any situation on the ice is hard to find.

Another great night for Goose, even though we didn't win. 2 more goals to put in his column, had he played a full season with us, he would be flirting with 40. That gets me very excited for future seasons and what he can provide on a healthy team. Keep it rolling Nyquist, you are a big reason why we remain in contention for a playoff spot.
