NHL January 2013 |OT| - "Double-B to Double-M" The Milbury Leafs Era Begins NOW

Patrick Maroon gets put on waivers... so during camp he snow showers Hiller twice.

He hasn't touched the ice since a second icing during a scrimmage.

Bye bye shitlord!

The Oilers just finished playing a shinny game at Hawrelak Park (an urban park in Edmonton). Pretty cool.

Murray: "They've been Anaheim Ducks. I love those guys. They’re winners. I’m going to do everything in my power to sign them. We’ve talked to both their camps already. Their agents are coming in within the next couple of weeks. That’s my biggest priority. It’s not rocket science. I’ll try everything I can to get them signed. "

The cheque books are coming out ladies and gents...

Well if nothing else, The Blues have good customer service. Got all of my ticket problems worked out with a 5 minute call. Couldn't believe my rep called me after I sent an email a few hours ago. I was planning on giving them a call on my lunch tomorrow.

Anyone know where I can buy a pair of pants like Eberle is wearing?

I'm heavily considering making a trip next weekend. Probably won't be able to make much else this year unless we get deep into the playoffs. Which games did you get?

I like it. I really like Russell with Pietrangelo. Better that and let Cole ease into playing every night instead of setting him in the top pairing.

The weekend plan. It's really the best I can do as far as time goes. Weekday games are pretty much impossible for me to commit to.

Agreed. I really liked Russell in the Kings series. He was just about the only D man I liked in the Kings series.

I wonder if montreal will sign a C or just wait till the summer and try to get getzlaf
Errr why would they do that? We already have too many Cs. It'll be Gally-Eller-Bournival-White or something similar for a long time. We have to either get rid of both DD and Plekanec or move DD to the wing.

They won't get rid of DD. He'll definitely be shifted to wing though, probably as soon as next season.

I do see Pleky as trade bait though.

I don't see them getting rid of DD either since he's french, but Plek will most likely be gone by next seasons trade line or the one after. Although Center depth of Galchenyuk - Plekanec - Eller is pretty tantalizing.
 
Beat reporters are verifying that Viktor Fasth was excellent at training. Easy to see why he was so sought after...

We've totally found our backup. Deslauriers is good enough to be 3rd, definitely not good enough to relieve Hiller.

The lines used were... interesting.

Palmieri - Getzlaf - Perry
Ryan - Bonino - Selanne
Cogliano - Koivu - Winnik
Beleskey - Holland - Smith-Pelly/Etem

Sbisa - Souray
Fowler - Allen
Lydman - Beauchemin

Hiller
Fasth

Is Holtby Washington's starting goalie now?

Flash in the pan. He'll have to earn his time battling Neuvirth.

Roto league team...Tried to draft guys that would give me points in multiple categories instead of just the top scorer each round:

C - Koivu, Stepan, Granlund
LW - Pacioretty, Whitney
RW - Malkin, Downie, Hemsky
D - Edler, Shattenkirk, Burns, Orpik, Ellis
G - Price, Fleury

Alright, so can we all agree that this year's Cup winner is not "tainted" due to the shortened schedule? So far, many forum posters are of the "it's a tainted Cup...unless my team wins it" mentality.

Nope.

It takes a lot more games to earn your spot in the playoffs than less than half of them.

Even if the Ducks win it, I'll still be saying "we've won 1.5 cups".

Agreed. The Cup is definitely not tainted. The playoffs are the same.

Last year's standings after the 1st 48 games had the same teams in the playoffs at the end of the season.

I'm pretty happy with my team in the GAF pool:

C Claude Giroux

A few question marks in there, but it feels pretty solid all around.
