It's not fair, Detroit still gets great young player picking at the bottom of te draft.
I'm psyched, Tuesday I get to see my first live hockey game of the year when the Habs play the Pens. Woo!

The season is going down the tubes, our leading goal scorer Robert Lang severed a tendon yesterday, so he's done for the season and maybe his career is over too. Latendresse suffered a nasty shoulder injury. And as If I didn't despise the Bruins enough before yesterday's game.

I see the Senators fired Craig Hartsburg as their head coach. Personally I don't think the Seanators struggles are the coaches fault. The front office put too much stock in their one superstar line of Heatley, Spezza and Alfredsson and didn't address glaring weaknesses in the lineup. Their freefall started when they lost Chara to the Bruins and they have never come close to getting a frontline netminder (even though this rookie Elliott looks like he might be pretty decent)

The Sens also have a wacky owner who adressed the media last week saying that there would be no changes, no firesale, that the club was fundamentally good. Yeah right. The same guy would say a few years ago that he wouldn't accept anything less than the Stanley Cup which put a lot of pressure on them. Sure they had their bouts with Ray Emery, but their secondary scoring of Vermette, Fisher, Neil, etc, really should be doing better. Getting rid of their defense corps didn't help, dealing Joe Corvo for the slow moving Mike Commodore, getting rid of Mezsaros.

so Riptide, anymore rumblings in the Mount Royal press about Lecavalier getting traded to the Habs?

No, the Vinne frenzy has died down considerably. I think a lot of people feel it would have happened by now. Now that Lang is out, there's talk of getting Michael Nylander, but his salary might be too intimidating. There's talk to that they will convert Higgins to a centre, a position he played at Yale. There's a lot of uproar with kovalev's poor play since Koivu has come back and he had to give the C back. Carbo's been fielding questions about it and he looks pretty uncomfortable. Just another winter in the crazy, hockey obsessed fishbowl world of the Montreal Canadiens.
Any reports on Gaborik?

last I heard he might return for the last couple weeks of the regular season. Pretty much a lost season for him and with all his injuries making it virtually impossible for the Wild to trade him making it pretty likely they'll lose him to free agency.

My first game this year, nice 4-2 result against the Pens. Seeing pure, uncut NHL in the flesh is such a trip without the commercials and hype.
I see the Rangers retired Adam Graves number, he was quite emotional.
Ottawa gets the same results with a new coach.

Pretty awesome ceremony as usual that the Rangers put on at the Garden for a number retirement. All the greats from '94 were there. Special night.
With that said, of course they lose the game as usual on a ceremony night. They're lucky they even got a point by scoring with 10.7 seconds left in the game to get it to overtime.....which became a shootout and that is where they lost.

Backstrom gets another shutout tonight as the Wild blanked the Ducks 3-0. Quite the logjam in the west for who is going to make the playoffs. I feel a couple good teams will be on the outside looking in due to lot of good teams.

Backstrom and M. Koivu are the best Finns at the moment. Nashville goalie Pekka Rinne is also very good.

Sabres looked good last night. We are playing them friday night on the road. Looks like Georges Laraque will back in the lineup.

I saw in the New York Post today that the Rangers are think about signing Sean Avery! What are they freakin nuts? They would have him in Hartford for the start. I know he is going to classes now for his behavior problems. Alot of good that will do.

They might be playing with fire with that decision, but if he can be an effective player without all the BS, I guess that they are hedging their bets that he will return to form.
Well Buffalo-girl you won. There were a lot of Habs fans in the building, but it wasn't enough.

lots of trade rumors going around. i forgot when the deadline is. it should be interesting to see who gets moved for what. i don't see the devils making any move other than another second tier d-man, especially since it looks like colin white may have broken his hand last night. i see the devils going after someone like filip kuba, matthieu schneider, derek morris, or jordan leopold. i also read there is a (dumb) rumor that the devils are interested in either pronger or neidermayer. i just don't see the devils having the pieces to make a move like that.

If the Ducks dpn't start making a move soon I could see them moving a lot of their high profile veterans: Pronger, S Niedermayer, R Neidermayer, Selanne and Giguiere
Gaborik is a head of schedule and will be back relatively soon so he still could possibly get traded before the deadline. God I hope.
Stastny is back soon for the 'Lanche and Gonchar will be back soon for the Penguins. Both those teams definitely need them in their lineups in their fight to make the playoffs.
