Lol, PIT just boned themselves a bit.
Overall, from the standpoint of being a PHL fan, I liked how the deadline played out. Some teams certainly fucked themselves up.
Especially MTL, lawl.

How come nobody is talking about Brad Richards being traded.  Probably for the best. I want to see how he performs without St. Louis and Lecavalier. Still, he was a nice guy. Edit: And Vaclav Prospal? What the fuck? I thought he had a no-trade clause because his permanent home is in Tampa Bay. What a douche Feaster is. |

I don't understand the Pit trade. You have two of the best young players in the league, and you mortgage your future for 1 year? Does not compute.
I have discovered a as yet unknown super power of mine. I traded Matt Cooke in NHL 08 on Tuesday night, and Wednesday he went away for reals. God he is useless. I haven't decided who to voodoo next. Maybe Jeff Cowan.

ESPN's analysts seem to think this was a good move for Pittsburgh. They can't ALL be dumb, can they?
Grats to Tampa for doing what had to be done.
Hehe, Sergei Fedorov.

Federov appears to be the new guy to sign for too much money before trading away.

Fedorov is one of the newest big name superstars to get old and suck.
As far as Pittsburgh's move, it could be good. Depends. But it'd have to
A) Turn into a DEEP playoff run, or a cup
B) Turn into Hossa resigning, and then somehow fitting Malkin in too (uh.. k, whatever... some people seem convinced it's possible, but it looks genuinely mathematically impossible, so the Hossa thing doesn't make a god damn lick of sense to me. Maybe if the cap goes up by 10m or something).
If getting rid of Armstrong doesn't hurt team chemistry much (I think it will, he's the one piece that'd harm chemistry the most by his removal that isn't named Malkin or Crosby), Christensen doesn't develop into anything more than he is right now (he probably will, he's got fantastic hands and one of the best shots in the league), Esposito is a total flop (He was, at one time, ranked #1 in his draft year) and the first round pick we gave up turns into nothing (It's a deep draft year, this is unlikely).... then maybe what they gave up isn't a big deal. Those are a LOT of ifs though, I think is the point people are trying to make. Way too many.
Especially for one guy. Especially for one guy who will very, very likely just be a rental for a month or two.
On top of that, Armstrong is making something like 1.2. We need decent quality working parts that are signed for salaries like that if we want to sign Malkin and a high quality winger. When you go down our roster and look at all of the 2.5m and 3m contracts that we have, things just don't add up for the future. Armstrong at 1.2 is a deal, and the kind of deal Pittsburgh needs to stay under the cap long term.

You have 5 remaining games at RW and C, but 42 left at F so you don't necessarily need to dump your LWs yet, just have to be more careful how you use them. Below your roster, click on Maximum Games. Sucks that you lost out on that huge night, even though it helps me win =)

Actually, I do still need to trade for D. So, you know, browse around. Just not Ovechkin or Malkin anymore.

Exciting Leafs/Flyers game.
TOO BAD ABOUT THE NON-CALL IN OT.
Also, god damn fucking Randy Jones. Personally responsible for TWO goals by the Leafs.

End of this season is gonna be nuts. Calgary plays Columbus tonight, then the next 9 games are against NW division foes, including 3 against Vancouver. The playoffs start tonight imo.

GO WILD! Finally got to watch a Wild game tonight, against Colorado. They still play some stifling D. Their whole division is all within like 7 points of each other and with the exception of one game against San Jose, the Wild play nothing but divisional games. This will be a damn good finish.

That doesn't surprise me in the least. He shows all signs of being a grade A douchebag. Give him a few years, he will be Chris Pronger with a worse nose but better teeth. All the ill-informed fans will laud him, while anyone who ever had to play against him will know he is a cheapshotting coward.

Don't worry- the Wild got completely outplayed Friday night and won anyway, so they split for the weekend.

Predictions that will all turn out wrong:
EAST
Montreal vs. Boston: This one could be over quick.
Pittsburg vs. Ottawa: My hope for a completely collapse by the Sens and they actually miss the playoffs didn't happen, so I'll go for the first round exit.
Washington vs. Philly: Only worry about this one is that Washington is just happy to be there.
New Jersey vs. New York Rangers: Rangers are somewhat hot right now, and I had to pick an upset somewhere in the east. Though, this wouldn't be much of upset imo
WEST
Detroit vs. Nashville: Detroit waits until the 2nd round to collapse.
San Jose vs. Calgary: yeah yeah yeah, I don't think my Flames can get through the first round. Waaay to inconsistent. They had a good record against the Sharks this year (3-1), but they played them mostly before they got REALLY hot.
Minnesote vs. Colorado: Tempted to take the Avs, but the Wild are due.
Anaheim vs. Dallas: Stars are in biiig trouble.
The only sure things I really see is that the Canadiens will beat the Bruins and Anaheim will beat the Stars. Pretty sure Detroit will take out Nashville, and Pittsburg can take out Ottawa. The rest could go either way, and should be decent series.
