Is that you Lindy?
I really think this is Ruff's constant expression when watching Vanek:

Norfolk advances to Calder Cup final with sweep of St. John's. Only allowed two goals in the entire series.

Kesler confirms that he won't be rushing back from his surgery this time around. He's completely to the full 6 month period at least and likely won't be back til December at the earliest.
I really hope Schroeder gets a good look at that 2nd line job, because overpaying for a centre in a very shitty UFA pool during the summer is NOT a good option for the team.

Last I saw your update, they had like a 22 game win streak. How far did that go? Please tell me it's still going.

I'm okay with it. Not much in the way of alternatives. But his leash will definitely be shorter, extension or not. Another playoff disappointment or prolonged regular season slump and he'll be bounced.
That's unbelievable. I just looked it up - they're 39-3 in their last 42. :lol Reminds me of the Red Wings in the 90s.
Definitely yay. He made the team much better and is well liked. One bad exit is easily excusable, a second.... Let's hope it doesn't come to that.
As far as I know, nothing is definite.

I can't see Goldwater Institute not shooting down whatever crooked deal they're trying to pull with Jamieson. They already threatened to sue over the "arena management fees".
Not even close. Especially when the mayor was doing her best to torpedo the deal last night.

Is there any deadline or anything with a date that will let us know if they are staying or not?
Something will happen in the next couple weeks. Anything stretching into June is pushing it. Last year the Thrashers move was announced the day before the Cup Finals so it could be within a week.
Marlies win again! Scrivens looks unbelievable out there, so hopefully he can keep it up. If he finishes strong, I don't think it's a stretch to call him one of the best goalies not currently in the NHL. Also, I really hope Kadri's injury isn't serious. The Marlies will have a tough time closing out this series and matching up against Norfolk without him.
Was just coming to post this. Marlies one win away from the Calder Cup. I'm really hoping they can take it and we can see a big step forward for guys like Frattin, Gardiner, and Kadri.
Has anyone heard the rumour that Boston is preparing a huge offer for Rick Nash? I read somewhere that Seguin+Bergeron+prospect was being discussed, but that seems way too ridiculous to be true.
I mean, Nash is a great player, but I can't understand why a 30 goal guy will get such a huge return, especially at 7.8m for another 6 years.
EDIT: Here's where I read it. I'm not sure how credible the website is, but they have Seguin+Bergeron+Hamilton for Nash as a possibility, with Krejci+multiple picks and prospects as an offer that Howson would not accept.

If that happens Boston would have just shot themselves in the foot.
What need would they have for Rick Nash? It's not like they're a weak team that needs his strength. Especially with Seguin coming off a near 30 goal season when he hasn't even come close to hitting his peak yet.

Holy hahahahahaha! I wish.

Looks like it's just saying that it's rumored Columbus wants the Seguin package for Nash. Doesn't say anything about Boston giving it any consideration. Would be absurd to.
Yeah, it's definitely sketchy, which is why I mentioned that an offer like that would be a ridiculous overpayment. I would be very surprised if that trade package was ever on the table, but I do see Boston possibly having interest in Nash.

I wouldnt trade Seguin straight up for Nash. The Bruins would have to be insane to do that deal.
Fleecing of the decade - for Columbus - if that happens. Pro-tip: it won't fucking happen.

Luongo for the girl sitting behind the Coyotes bench.
You do realize Elisha Cuthbert is Phaneuf's girlfriend, right.

Barstool Philly on Richards and Carter.
1.) This guy is a moron. 2.) He's still right.
The Carter trade turned out pretty well for the Flyers. The Richards trade? Meh.
None of that matters though because the cap space created by the moves was blown on Mr. Universe. Bob was a perfectly acceptable option for this year. Other options included going after Vokoun more forcefully and going after Varlamov.
Gonna be wearing the Richards jersey for the rest of the playoffs now. YOU'RE STILL MY CAPTAIN RICHIE! :'(
Except for that whole Giroux guy.... he's pretty amazing. The point here is I will always love you!..... you know... just LESS than everyone on the Flyers. Don't make this more awkward than it hast to be alright!?

I actually think a trade like that would manage to piss off both Vancouver and Toronto fans.

Bryz did not work out at all this year, I totally agree that his signing wound up being a terrible move. Even with that though there is no way that Bob as #1 was a real option. He was fucking awful this year, if the Flyers had started the year with Bob in net they would have missed the playoffs for sure. Bryz was the best out of the available options it just sucks that they gave him such a long contract.
He said he would never play for the Nordiques, I hardly think he would coach the Quebec coyotes. Return to Colorado the team that actually retired him right away is my thought.

Does anyone know who owns the Nordiques name? If the Yotes move to Quebec they need to be named the Nordiques and they need to wear the same jerseys they used to.
From what I remember the Avalanche still own the rights to the Nordiques name as well as everything and thus it would be up to them whether or not they could be the Nordiques again in Quebec. A little vague on this, but the Avs always tried to treat the Nordiques themselves as part of their history especially when they first got to Denver.
A couple more tidbits of information (no crazy rumors this time):
1. Steve Yzerman recently suggested that he wasn't necessarily interested in trading for a goaltender
“Obviously I’d love to have a 20-year-old [Roberto] or Martin Brodeur and not worry about goaltending for the next 20 years, but that’s hard to do...My philosophy, I’m trying to find that Hall of Famer goaltender...It takes time. We’ll find that through the draft, through unrestricted free agency."
2. Rick Dudley has officially joined the Habs, but the agreement between Burke and Bergevin requires him to avoid any draft involvement this year.
James Mirtle ‏@mirtle
Canadiens officially name Rick Dudley assistant GM. Agreement with Leafs is that he won't work the draft. Larry Carriere stays on with Habs.
3. The Leafs have signed Petter Granberg to a 3 year entry-level contract. At 19 years old, he already has a prominant role in the SEL as a shutdown defencemen, and played important minutes for Sweden during their recent victory at the World Juniors.

Have fun with that, Steve.
