2012-2013 NHL Thread

Aportzline: #CBJ cuts are C Boone Jenner and D Tim Erixon.

Jenner's not a huge surprise, as he's still junior eligible, but, I'm a little surprised Erixon couldn't crack the BJ's blueline.

Russostrib: So again, with Kampfer on his way to Houston, Matt Dumba appears to be sticking for now rather than going back to jr. #mnwild

StapeNewsday: #Isles have told Ryan Strome and Griffin Reinhart that they are going back to their JR clubs.

A little strange given he had mentioned that he was excited to return after taking care of personal issues.

He must not have shown up after-all.

The latest I read was that he was staying home for a few weeks while to deal with some sort of illness in the family. This move just means that the Islanders don't have to pay him until he actually comes back and they open up a roster spot as well.

TSNBobMcKenzie: Eastern Conference team interested in UFA Wade Redden was told he's going to West. All the speculation is on STL. Decision expected soon.

TSNBobMcKenzie: LAK were another Western team interested in Redden as well.

Sounds like Redden to the Blues.

Kings raise the banner then give up three goals in the first en route to a 5-2 loss against the Hawks.

Gotta love those ceremonies.

Pens 3-1 over the Flyers.  Crosby zilch points.  Flyers 'double-teamed' him.  Besides, it looked more like he was actually trying to be a little careful.  The Pens outhit the Flyers, while Fleury was at the top of his game in net.

Schenn (Luke, that is) played well on the defence for Philadelphia  More defensive stay-back.

Jagr 3 pts (2+1) so far in his debut in Dallas. He probably never gets old...

I never seem to mind seeing the Flyers lose. 

I did watch some of it (half the game?). I watched portions of some of the other games. Pens & Flyers looked better than the Leafs-Habs (as maybe the should but they did.) I didn't find the teams in any of the games I saw parts of where they looked to be as out of sync as the Leafs & Habs did.

I can't believe how badly the Wings are getting manhandled. Just wow.

Having Howard is not helping my fantasy hockey team!

Dear Mike Gillis,

When you said in the pre-game ceremony that Canucks fans were the best in all of sports, did you check first to make sure they hadn't set the city on fire?

Sincerely,

Nik

I noticed that Vancouver isn't starting their Star goalie tonight.

He must have a very short term memory.

Oh I like this. I'd love for that to be published the the Vancouver papers.

 

[Sucker Punch]

Vancouver really is the worst.

Gillis seems to have the charisma of a dead fish too.  Completely monotone.
