If anyones counting Nabby just earned a shutout against the Flyers and made 45 saves in the game and won the shutout. The old boys still got it ... hopefully they start tanking now, because their still "sorta" competing for that 8th playoff spot.

Nabokov's stats are better than his career average...on one of the worst teams in the league. He's definitely still got it. If he were on a contender he wouldn't be so overlooked.

Check out my short e-book on the Red Wings' 1937 Stanley Cup championship entitled: "Nothing Could Keep 'Em Down." Please download it from my profile at Smashwords: https://www.smashwor...ile/view/victor

New e-book: The Spanish-American War: A Brief History. Relatively short, introductory read for casual history buffs and people who want to learn more about a forgotten war that changed America. Available at BN.com, Smashwords, Kobo, and Diesel E-Books right now. Same link as above.

I doubt the Isles will trade Nabby. Good goalie at a bargain price, but not sure they could really get anything great in return. Maybe Chicago or Philly (lol) would pay something, but everyone else pretty much already has a solid starter and isn't going to deal much for a backup.

Harding seems like a good option. Pending UFA who will probably go looking for a starting job in the offseason, and Hackett is a pretty good looking prospect who could step into the backup role in Minnesota.

Nabby just drove up Snow’s asking price tonight.
