A deal for the ages

When you love something let it go, if it succeeds in Buffalo... You're screwed... Or something like that. Today Mike Gillis made a decision that could change the course of history for Vancouver hockey fans and their beloved team, with the decision to deal fan favourite Cody Hodgson to the Buffalo Sabres for Zack Kassian. Fans were outraged when the news broke of the trade just after the 12pm trade deadline on Monday. No police cars were torched, no windows were smashed and not one building wa

Twas the Night Before the Trade Deadline

Twas the night before the trade deadline and all through hockey heaven not a creature was sturring not even a mouse. Ok enough of that. It looks like right now to be the silence before the storm. We've seen a few teams make some move, but not many competitors. I think this is good news and could make a very exciting run to the deadline. On the Sabres front all is quiet. Gaustad has a minor injury, making his availability less likely. I think with he recent play and desire to stay in Buffal

NHL 36 with Mike Richards

Just found this link to NHL 36 featuring Mike Richards in case anyone missed it or doesn't have NHL Network. I love this program, it's really cool to get a behind the scene glimpse of the NHL elite. Some highlights: - A program coordinator doesn't recognize Richards at his interview, proving his point of less recognition in LA as compared to Philly (He seems to be embracing the quieter role in LA). - A sushi dinner with Doughty and Lewis in which it takes the crew 20 minutes to realize Andrei Lo

Trade Wars: Part 10 (HF101's)

Well sorry folks, I didn't accept either of the last two trade offers by habsguy26. Thus, there is nothing to vote in this installment of Trade Wars. So as we come to a close here I am taking his last two team matchups and making counter offers. We have a day left to come to agreement on two last trades so let me be brief. Habs First offer: The Montreal Canadiens offer: Andrei Kostitsyn, Chris Campoli, Mike Blunden and a 2013 2nd round pick to The Phoenix Coyotes for: Rostislav Klesla and Gil

Flyers and Kings: Moving Forward

Two games, Four Points by: Trevor Rocco The NHL Trade Deadline is almost upon us. The Flyers and Kings have both done their part in making noise around the league in an attempt to send a news bulletin out that they are in this to win. After two big wins and four big points gained by the clubs on saturday, I want to reflect on some of the things that are getting me excited moving forward, and some things that continue to have me dumbfounded night in and night out. I'll pose some questions at the

Jeff Carter, the perfect fit for the LA Kings

A history of the last 5 seasons of the Philadelphia Flyers and Why Jeff Carter is the perfect fit for the LA Kings by: Trevor Rocco The L.A. Kings are looking for scoring, that is a given. The Kings have been consistently in the bottom of NHL team scoring for quite a few seasons now. To their defense, they have one of the best defense (no pun intended) core and goaltending core in the league which have kept them in the playoff hunt for the last two or three seasons. A lot has been said about Jef

How Much Would You Give Philly West for Brown?

Sabres Needs: scoring, physical players, and leadership Dustin Brown: scoring, physical, and leadership Perfect match! The city once known as Los Angeles acquired Jeff Carter yesterday for Jack Johnson and a 1st round pick this year or next. Thus becoming Philadelphia West with the reunion of Jeff Carter and Mike Richards. All LA night club owners just made some extra loot. All kidding aside Bob McKenzie is reporting that LA has put Dustin Brown on the trade block. Brown the current captain

A dream that hasn't quite ended

Back in the 2005-2006 season, the Vancouver Canucks were lead by a watered down version of the West Coast Express, and had dug themselves quite the hole trying to get into the postseason. They never did, and missed the playoffs for the first time in 5 years, but they looked to have found something quite unique in the process. We all know how important games in March are, especially when trying to solidify a playoff spot, and with some injury problems, the Canucks called up 24 year old Alexandre

Wings come to Town!

Tonight the Hawks take on their biggest rival, "The Detroit Scum", "Deadwings", or whatever you would like to refer to them as. Tonight, two big stars will be out of their respective line ups, Detroit's All-Star center Pavel Datsyuk will miss about two weeks following knee surgery and Captain Marvel is out for the Hawks with the infamous "Upper Body" injury. The Hawks will be looking to continue their 3 game winning streak as they continue to gain back their confidence. While the Hawks are far f

Hockey Day in America #SignBrodziak

Wild Musings 2/21/2012 - Hockey Day in America #SignBrodziak On Sunday, the Minnesota Wild beat the Boston Bruins in 2-0 shutout. Wild goaltender Niklas Backstrom was in masterful form, stopping 48 shots, and 3 breakaway chances in the first period. Fitting enough that on Hockey Day in America, Matt Cullen and Chad Rau, two Minnesota Natives, scored the two Wild goals (Interestingly enough, Chad Rau has scored twice in the NHL: once on Hockey Day in Minnesota, the other on Hockey Day in America,

10 Questions

Welcome back for another installment of 10 questions! I'm your host, habsguy26. So without further ado, here we go! 1) Who'd get canned first? Brian Burke, Paul Holmgren or Stan Bowman? 2) Pavel Kubina? 3) Which Canadian 'bubble' team is most likely to make the playoffs? Winnipeg, Calgary, Toronto or Montreal? 4) Who will have the highest +/- this season? 5) If you were Holmgren, do you shop Bryzgalov? 6) Sean Couturier, would you give him up for Nash? 7) If you were the GM
