12Newf 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2009 Well Mr Ian Mendes has long been my most hated blogger but Ive gotta give him credit for this one. I had a couple chuckles. http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/blogs/2009/...trade_deadline/ If youve got other ones go ahead and add them. The Trade: St. Louis sends Brad Boyes to Atlanta in exchange for Bryan Little. The Punchline: The NHL has been desperate to attract the attention of top-flight celebrities. Michael Jackson will become very interested in hockey when he hears about the Little-Boyes trade. The Trade: St. Louis sends T.J. Oshie to Tampa Bay in exchange for Martin St. Louis. The Punchline: St. Louis becomes the first player in NHL history who can actually claim he is playing for the name on the back of his jersey. The Trade: Los Angeles sends Jarret Stoll to Ottawa for Brian Lee and a 2nd-round pick. The Punchline: Can you imagine a night where Carrie Underwood, Rachel Hunter and Hilary Duff attend a Senators game at Scotiabank Place? C'mon Bryan Murray - make this trade and I promise to never criticize any of your moves at the deadline. The Trade: Pittsburgh sends Miroslav Satan to New Jersey for Jay Pandolfo and a 2nd-round pick. The Punchline: A Satan wearing a Devils jersey is long overdue. And I'm pretty sure Lou Lamoriello makes most of his hockey decisions based on what he thinks people might find funny. The Trade: Columbus sends Rick Nash and a 1st-round pick to Pittsburgh for Evgeni Malkin. The Punchline: Pittsburgh's top line with Crosby, Staal and Nash would be great for fans of classic rock. And it would be the best musical combo in the NHL since Hull & Oates were ripping it up for the Blues. The Trade: Tampa Bay sends Gary Roberts to Ottawa in exchange for a 4th-round pick. The Punchline: Would anyone else find it funny that the Senators finally land Roberts in a season in which they likely miss the playoffs? The Trade: Detroit sends Jimmy Howard and a 2nd-round pick to Anaheim in exchange for Jonas Hiller. The Punchline: It's been more than 20 years since I could make a timely Howard The Duck reference...and I'm getting a little impatient. The Trade: Buffalo sends Derek Roy to Montreal for a 1st-round pick. The Punchline: How awesome would it be to see the confusion in the faces of Habs fans when they learn how to pronounce Roy's last name? The Trade: A three-way deal: San Jose sends Jonathan Cheechoo to Ottawa. The Senators send Jarkko Ruutu to Nashville. The Predators send Jordin Tootoo to the Sharks. The Punchline: Try saying Ruutu-Cheechoo-Tootoo five times fast. The Trade: NY Islanders send Freddy Meyer to Toronto in exchange for Jeff Finger. The Punchline: Garth Snow can claim that Freddy got Finger. (And I can be the first person in history to use two of the worst movies of all time - Howard The Duck and Freddy Got Fingered - in a trade deadline blog).

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted March 4, 2009 Brian Burke agrees to accept Rick Nash and a first-round pick, but Columbus gives him Jared Boll and a second-round pick. Burke does not notice the switch, proving once and for all that Burke doesn't know his Nash from a Boll and a round. OK, it's a stretch, but it's the best I could do off my head.
