You should want Downie he is awesome, cleaned up his game a lot since leaving Philly and can score. We got shafted.

Yeah Talbot doesn't score, but he's a GREAT PK guy and solidifies the lower lines, for a reasonable price.

McClement replacement confirmed.
.. Less pissed knowing he's a PK guy, but still. We could've got a pick out of it for fuck sake.
His reputation never sat well with anyone in Denver. I'm not pissed that he's gone, just that what we got in return doesn't make a whole lot of sense for what we need.

Although our PK is already really good. At any rate this really wasn't what I was anticipating with the Avs falling back down to Earth.

I'm holding out for a bigger trade later today/tomorrow that makes everything make more sense. Mitchell looked like he may be getting shipped out when we stole Cliche away in waivers, we could get a decent return for him +/or Stastny.

Glad Parenteau is on Duchene's line again though they had great chemisty, wish we still had Fleischmann he had great chemistry with Duchene too and that would be a great line.

Yeah, I was going to ask if his production dropped off or something... Downie has been awesome for the avs from what I've seen, you definitely got shafted then.
lol, it we be barley mentioned I am sure. Considering Varly is still allowed to travel with the team, it might be quite some time that Varly can play before anything is settled.

Still can't believe we got rid of Downie for what turned out to be Vasilevski.

Here's Varly's lawyer after the hearing today:

Eerie how light-hearted he's being with the media.

Eerie how light-hearted he's being with the media.
Why?
Innocent before proven guilty, and it's probably just going to be a misdemeanor charge if anything. There really is no reason he can't play.
Bettman has the right to suspend any player under ongoing criminal investigation until it's settled. Until we hear otherwise from Bettman and if Varlamov is allowed to leave the state, he's technically allowed to play.
The judge that released him on bail said he can travel with the team. If the case makes it to court it will not be for some time. So clearly the altitude announcers will avoid the subject of Varly and focus more on the team.
"OMG Varlamov absolutely robbed him there! I mean... I'm not saying he should be in jail... Eh... Uh... It was just an expression... Uh... I mean... "

Just got tickets to see the Rangers lose live on monday against the ducks
But no Teemu

I like the Emelin signing, if they waited longer he'd probably be asking for $5 M +, it was pretty obvious how important to the team he his after they went into the ahitter following his injury. He's suppose to be back next month too, a full month ahead of schedule so I assume his rehab went great and the team doctors are confident in his abilities.
Markov has been great ever since he's been with Subban, if he will take a discount I would like to see him back if he can keep up his current play. I'm just not sure if he wants to try and cash in a final big contract, or will be willing to take a home town discount.
Wat?
Yeah I was looking forward to that game to see Teemu live one last time (actually come to think of it I'm not sure I've ever seen Teemu live), but now that it's just going to be a regular old thrashing I'm not really into it anymore.Just got tickets to see the Rangers lose live on monday against the ducks

That made me chuckle...
Free is always the best price. At least until you add the $20 of awesome arena food.

I don't see how she was allowed to do that.
Also, Avs not calling up a goalie so Varly is going to Dallas. It's a back-to-back game situation with Montreal on Saturday so you would think he will be playing one of those games.

ok since im trying to get into hockey now and only know football
can someone kinda do cross referencing with the nfl to help me understand how things work around here? for example: is there a team thats as annoying and has an annoying fanbase as the cowboys or what is the "cowboys" of the nhl? who is currently the best player and goalie in the nhl? I do read power rankings so I got an idea about team rankings. Is there any team that usually is bad like the browns? Are there any cities unworthy of a fanbase/team like the jags? also what are the most marketable teams(teams seen most on tv) that could compare to say like commercials always showing cowboys, eagles, giants, pats, manning(he is the team), and etc? also what are the most hated and liked teams?
sorry for all the questions but im really curious to how things work. also scarrr and penulty
