Paul Hendrick @HennyTweets
Dion shares with the main group, expect him to play Thursday. Kessel not here this morning. #TMLtalk


It is le happening

Leafs are planning to trade Lupul before the trade deadline.

In similar news, the sky appears to be blue.

Have to trade him before he injures himself again.

5 hour window...

At the very least it's good value for jerseys that will be thrown on the ice.

NHL safety people got bored and decided to suspend Cowen for 3 games.

 

[Marvie_3]

Blackhawks resigned Darling for 2 more years. I love that move.

 

[MetatronM]

Bryz cleared waivers. Poor Bryz.



Rick Nash is not on the ice at practice today. Rangers say maintenance day. Jesper Fast is skating in his place on his line (in a non-contact jersey).

A real nice story for sure

 

[Socreges]

Markstrom recalled. Probably won't touch the ice.

 

[Red_Man]

Unf

I have to eat crow on Mason. I laughed when Philly signed him, and didn't think he would sustain his play at all but he's done well. I'm still a little skeptical, but he's surprised me for sure.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Markstrom recalled. Probably won't touch the ice.

I have him in fantasy... so yeah lol.

 

[Red_Man]

A.Gally going to be on the RW tomorrow.... I have to admit, I don't hate the idea. I mean if he's going to be on the wing anyways, I like the thought of him playing on his off side. Hopefully he's with Patches.

 

[Cake Boss]

DAT Anderson.

Imagine if he didn't have a tire fire defence in front of him.

 

[MetatronM]

Ruh roh: Dolan is at practice today and had a meeting with Glen Sather.

My thought exactly :lol

 

[zroid]

it's O'Neill's birthday, and he's chowing down on $80 worth of McDonalds during Leafs Lunch

He's got a 20 pack of McNuggets open on his desk :lol

 

[Razorskin]

My thought exactly :lol

Everything was Vermette.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Mostly same SY has said past few weeks. If he does nothing, says he likes his team, just means young D will get thrown into fire more.

Yep, we're fucked.

 

[MetatronM]

Pierre pls

Vancouver -- The Vancouver Canucks and Utica Comets jointly announced today that forward Tom Sestito will not play for either club for the remainder of this season.

 

[Socreges]

Yep, we're fucked.

What kind of move were you hoping he'd make?

 

[trifelife]

http://canucks.nhl.com/club/m_news.htm?id=754668

he's going to be a European league points machine

Those FB comments are killing me.

If they want to improve statistics, they should provide more info on shots & goals. A redirect tip-in is MUCH different than a blue line slapshot. Both very important but very different skills.

Scoring chance data at War on Ice already does a pretty good job of quantifying stuff like this. one of the especially interesting aspects of it is seeing which players are better at producing goals from opportunities not designated as scoring chances.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Henrik named second star of the week.

Canucks have been surprising despite missing Edler and Tanev. Wins against the Rangers and Islanders were unexpected. Of course they'll follow that up by losing to Buffalo just because.

Losing Miller sucks though Lack is capable of handling the load. This likely means there won't be a goalie traded at the deadline.

 

[ZeroGravity]

What kind of move were you hoping he'd make?

Something, anything on defense. Yzerman is extremely hesitant to make any short term moves, and while that's usually a smart decision, it's frustrating when the Lightning have a legitimate shot to come out of the East this year. They likely won't with the D corp they have right now though.

 

[zroid]

Isn't that more teams than Bozak? My god Nonis is awful.

 

[ShaneB]

What boring slate of 2 games tonight. Yuck.

 

[Syrinx]

Ron Francis proclaimed that we're not trading Jordan Staal.

Maybe a smokescreen, but they're probably keeping him around as a bargaining chip to resign Eric.

 

[Parch]

Are the Canucks trading Kassian or what? He seems to play well whenever he's not a healthy scratch so what's their problem with him?

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Andersson and Cleary are probably both playing today because Z and Pulky are probably out....

Congrats on the win Ducks.

Jonathan Quick .960 save percentage over last four games. "But he's not elite" - stats nerds everywhere

Those stats nerds and their sample sizes.

NERDS!!!!

He'll stay in the KHL forever now.

 

[Socreges]

He only plays well AFTER he's been scratched.

 

[Marvie_3]

Yep, we're fucked.

I would love it if the Hawks would play young defensemen. That would mean Roszival would be benched.




But Q gonna Q.

 

[Clydefrog]

Play your hearts out tonight, Red Wings!

we'll see you tomorrow

:lol

Pft. You call that elite? Mackenzie Skapski has a .960 save percentage for his career.

 

[zroid]

Oh yeah, and Crawford has a .899 save percentage in his last four games. Chicago obviously needs an upgrade in net. Skapski for Toews?

Done. David Toews will fit in nicely with the Rangers.

 

[Marvie_3]

Darling will be paid $575,000 next season and $600,000 in the 2016-17 season, a source told ESPN.com's Pierre LeBrun. The source believed Darling would be on a two-way deal next season and on a one-way deal the following season.

Nice.

#Blackhawks defenseman Johnny Oduya will miss a couple of weeks with an upper-body injury according to cosh Joel Quenneville.

Not nice. Oduya was finally starting to turn things around this season too.
