The Predators are front-runners for the cup, what the heck, what is this feeling like
You guys answered them just fine last year. Kesler on the other hand...
Well, that's what Hal Gill is for.
Yeah, pretty lackluster trade day.
And on a side note, I'm 0 for 3 on my Tim Hortons so far.

Mixed feelings n the trade deadline for me. I can't believe Nashville actually gave us a first rounder for Gaustad. He's a decent 3rd/4th line center, but he's gonna be a UFA. We fleeced you.
Looking at the Hodgson trade, it sounds like its a good deal on paper, but I just don't like giving Kassian away. I was really looking forward to watching him develop. I think he's gonna be great for vancouver down the line.

Was wondering what a Buffalo fan thought of that trade. From a Canucks perspective it sucks to lose Hodgson he was really becoming a fan favorite over here. He's NHL ready and should be an immediate contributor in your lineup. Kassian sounds like he could be a good fit provided translate his AHL success to the NHL. Here's hoping this trade is beneficial for both sides. I like when the sabres are doing well.
Big news today seemed to be that it was actually Nash who requested a move, not the Blue Jackets organization who approached him. Guess he'll be headed somewhere after all in the summer.
Was just about to post that. Just found out 10 min ago. Walking home, skipping from station to station, hear BTO and settle on good old Q107. Dominic Diamond comes on and says Ron Wilson's fired and it looks like Carlyle will take over.
I'm not terribly shocked but honestly I don't see the point in firing him now. Its not likely that a new coach is going to come in, instantly gain the trust and respect of his new squad, and lead the Leafs into a 19 game winning streak. Might as well have let him close out the season on his own, with whatever dignity he was able to keep left (Or to let him resign, "voluntarily")
Plus I don't think I like Carlyle as the replacement. I'm pretty sure I read there's some bad blood between he and Lupul. I liked the other choice better, of bringing up Eakins from the Marlies, who he's coached into a VERY comfy spot in the AHL standings this year. He's a good fit for a young team, and he'll likely be coaching the NHL in the not to distant future, but its doubtful it will be for the Leafs now.

Geez, you gotta feel bad for the guy:
So the asking price for Nash has been leaked;
2 top 6 forwards
2 top prospects
1 1st round draft pick
No wonder he wasn't moved.
And I think we can all agree that based upon the photoes, Garon is delivering a belly to belly suplex to that poor Carolina player and should face disciplinary action for his actions.

Yeah that was a pretty crazy story. Not sure I feel sorry for him though. players on both teams, and the whole crowd, seemed to be pretty supportive of him. He got the first star despite letting in 13 goals, and I've heard that wanting to play in goal is apparently something of a fantasy for a lot of skaters.
Shh! They don't want you to notice that part!
I didn't know Aragorn was a Habs fan.

Not only did the Leafs lose to Philly at home last night, but my other team, the Toronto Rock, was losing to the Philadelphia Wings at the same time. The LaCrosse game sounds like it was way more exciting though.
Hate the Flyers but I have to give Giroux credit. His shootout goal was a beauty.

I can't wait for Radulov to triumphantly return to Nashville and lead the Predators to the Stanley Cup
Where do you get those awesome hockey memes? I've seen a couple other ones elsewhere and for some reason I think they're hilarious
KHL and Ufa have bitten back: Ufa is refusing to let him go, since by letting him go back to the NHL, they would lose their rights to him.
HOWEVER, if he comes back to Nashville in the fall, Ufa would still have the rights to Rads - but he'd have to play an entire season with Nashville. And, possibly, do so without one of the "big two" on the blue line.
