For Bordeleau and a 5th.

LA and Vancouver confirmed most classless franchises

No respek for the game.

Canucks made the finals in 82...

 

[DopeyFish]

So not only did I not know who Klein was, he's being paid $3 mil until 2018

I am confused

He's -11 in 47 games with 3 points on the season. MDZ is a steal for that, why the fuck couldn't we trade Hunwick for MDZ AGH

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Leaf fans, what's it like to go on a winning streak? I bet it's magical!

Meh, nothing special. I bet we lose 10 straight pretty soon.

His cap hit is basically the same as Del Zotto's, except DZ is going to be an RFA at the end of the season.

 

[Acid08]

Such a weird trade. Dat super low MDZ trade value.

 

[calder]

This happens every Olympics.

Yeah, obviously being Russia there's a bit more overt threat but you didn't have to go far to find media types talking about the Athens games (or Beijing, or even Torino) like it was going to be apocalyptic and how they wouldn't send their worst journalistic enemy over to dodge car bombs.

 

[pringles]

yeah, they need defense or something

del zotto for Klein confirmed (who the fuck is Klein)

All I remember Klein for is this goal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12-95HTaCmE

 

[MetatronM]

Such a weird trade. Dat super low MDZ trade value.

Slats almost certainly got fleeced on this one. DZ is very likely to take off with a change of scenery (though this was never going to happen with the Rangers), so Nashville probably made out like bandits here.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Kevin Klein was boss in the Detroit series.

 

[Quick]

I didn't think Nashville needed more D.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Does this mean the Rangers have to keep Girardi now?

 

[Socreges]

Klein is a stay at home guy while MDZ is less reliable? MDZ is supposed to put up points to offset that, but doesn't?

Just trying to understand how this trade works for the Rangers because it seems awful.

 

[Curufinwe]

Klein is supposed to be solid defensively. He's -11 but Nashville can't score at ES, so all their main defensemen are minus players.

I think NY got a solid middle pairing guy for the next five years at a cheap cap hit. Now they only need to sign three more D and 8 forwards (assuming they buy out Richards) to have 20 players under contract for next season.

 

[Zod the Bear]

The Rags get a cost controlled rock. I'm assuming it's so they can throw some money at Girardi.

Girardi hitting the open market would've been a nice possibility for the Flyers. Oh well.

It's probably a win for the Rangers because of MDZ's contract.

 

[MetatronM]

Does this mean the Rangers have to keep Girardi now?

The Rangers have been telling teams for a few weeks now that Girardi is not for sale and that they plan to sign him. Of course, that could just be a ruse to get someone to pony up a higher price for him than they otherwise would have, but that's probably not the case.

 

[bonesmccoy]

I get a bad feeling about these Olympics and that was before the whole black widow thing even.

The USA managed to hold two successful and virtually safe Olympics a year after major terrorist attacks (OKC and 9/11). But yea, Russia's problem with separatist jihadis makes me much more nervous than hill billy militias and suicide pilots did in 1996 and 2002.

We'll be rolling Halak / Elliott in (and immediately out of) the playoffs.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

The trades have started!!!!

Can't wait to hear the amazing offers Holland has for Cleary/Quincey/Bert. They will blow your socks off!

Why do you care? You're done with the Wings this season.

Oh yeah I forgot... GO GRIFFINS!!!

Also, I told you, it's like a slow motion train wreck, you just can't help but watch the disaster unfold.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Klein is right handed and I guess AV wanted one.

 

[MetatronM]

Klein is right handed and I guess AV wanted one.

Yeah, he did. What the Rangers have been saying they wanted all along was a righty top four defenseman.

Klein will be in the lineup tomorrow against the Blues paired with John Moore, who will move back to the left side now that Del Zotto is gone.

Cleary will retire a Wing.

Book it!

 

[Holiday]

LOL, because Halak and Smelliot have only been flimsy for a couple of games, not a couple of seasons. Armstrong, more like Armwrong (or Armintheplayoffsthekingsaregoingtogiveusthedong).

 

[pringles]

Cleary will retire a Wing.

Book it!

As long as it's this year...

 

[Heretic]

Yeah, he did. What the Rangers have been saying they wanted all along was a righty top four defenseman.

Once the Ducks nab Girardi, that slot won't need to be filled.

 

[wsoxfan1214]

I don't even want to guess the score for tonight. Thankfully my friend doesn't work so we'll be continuing our play through of Dead Rising 3 instead.

20-0hawks.jpg

Oh, and 20

Spoiler

e-peen

dollars to whoever can guess which Red Wings gets injured this game.



Become a Wings fan, there is plenty of negativity to go around.

I wish I knew where to find the "good luck, will score 7 goals" picture.

Cleary for Cleary!

 

[MetatronM]

Sather says the plan is to sign "all" pending UFAs before the end of the season.

Rangers pending UFAs:
Ryan Callahan
Dan Girardi
Anton Stralman
Brian Boyle
Benoit Pouliot
Dominic Moore
Daniel Carcillo
David LeNeveu (this one doesn't really count)

We'll see...

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

I didn't realize you were going to the outdoor Ducks game Dastardly, that's sick. Make sure you take some pictures to post, I'm really curious to see how it turns out.

Oh god no, I ain't gonna be there man. If it was an actual winter classic then I would've flown up straight for it though. I am, however, meeting up with some other Melbourne Ducks fans and watching it at a pub though.

 

[lamaroo]

Klein is a solid defenceman from what I remember, a lot of comparisons to Gorges previously, but he could actually handle the puck.

 

[vas_a_morir]

Guys! GUYS!!!!!

Alice Cooper is a Coyotes fan.

I repeat, the Coyotes have a fan.

Is that his GF?

 

[Fata1moose]

Roy flat out told Parenteau that he was going to have to earn his spot on a top line back. Given that we sucked shit last night who knows if he'll stick to his guns, but I hope he does. I'm so sick of good players being unproductive because they're lazy. Sooo fucking sick of it.

I actually think Parenteau wasn't too bad last night considering he missed 3 weeks. He actually looked better than when he went down.

The USA managed to hold two successful and virtually safe Olympics a year after major terrorist attacks (OKC and 9/11). But yea, Russia's problem with separatist jihadis makes me much more nervous than hill billy militias and suicide pilots did in 1996 and 2002.

Yeah, it didn't really ever worry me in the USA/Canada hosted years as this continent is a bit more isolated. I feel like there's easier ways into Russia.

And bomb's are already going off and terrorists are in the city. You never heard about this stuff in Vancouver or on this level.

Vancouver/Canada isn't exactly like Russia.

 

[zedge]

Yea, Russia has a long history of this stuff. All these break away territories wanting independence. Canada is not even comparable.

 

[RC]

We had "anarchist's" breaking store windows a few days before the games. But that was about it.

Cakeboss, this one's for you:

 

[Vman]

That's what I'm saying. Everything will probably be fine but something just seems eery

 

[Stasis]

Looks like Sonora Rose, one of his daughters.

edit: Or actually the older one, Calico Cooper makes more sense.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Oh hey a pens fan decided to show up and give a shit before the playoffs

Alucard's a pretty regular poster?

Uuuuuuuuuuh there may or may not be a pattern there.

Yeah. The Kings are consistently shitcunts, even behind the bench.

 

[MetatronM]

Apparently Sather tried to ship Del Zotto off to the Avs, but the Avs didn't bite on the price, which was a first round pick.

 

[Red_Man]

Emelin and Diaz scratched for tonights game.

Fuck Therrien. What a useless bag of shit.

Do you think Montreal will resign Diaz? We could use a guy like him.

I would be pretty surprised if he isn't included in a trade package before or at the deadline, he has no place on this team anymore.

Oh god no, I ain't gonna be there man. If it was an actual winter classic then I would've flown up straight for it though. I am, however, meeting up with some other Melbourne Ducks fans and watching it at a pub though.

Gotchya, I was surprised you flew all the way here for it :lol

 

[bonesmccoy]

And bomb's are already going off and terrorists are in the city.

Which city - Sochi?

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

The writing is already on the wall that this is going to be a terrible Olympics.

• Putin and the militant homophobia brigade.
• It's fucking Russia. lol.
• Terrorist threats able to execute with a less margin of error than anywhere in the Commonwealth.
• Sochi is already way over budget.
• They're probably going to drug Shaun White so he can't do another amazing halfpipe run like Vancouver 2010 (
  Spoiler

  jk
  ).
• Horror stories coming out of facilities and athlete camps.
• Terrible Nike Jerseys.
• No Bobby Ryan.
• Hell, question marks on every teams roster except for Sweden and Germany.
