You gotta love the way some GM's think.

Countdown to TradeCentre: Dorion making plenty of calls - Article - TSN

Bob Murray on the deadline:

“I’m still kind of waiting for them to show me something and they’re not. We’re very inconsistent. We’re very up and down.”

Uh, Bob? YOU BUILT THAT TEAM! You are responsible for how they play and who shows up and who doesn't. If 3/4's of the way in they still aren't that great, you didn't build that great of a team! The players are showing you something - they're showing you what they are and what they aren't.

To bad to hear this but not surprising to hear this.

Sorry if a Mattola, but Ryan McDonagh submitted a 10 team no trade list to the Rangers recently according to Lebrun.

Any chance LeBrun would drop the name of the 10 teams?

Probably not.
Doubt he knows them.

If I had to guess, he has every Canadian team on it except for maybe Vancouver because them making a trade like that doesn't make any sense, along with 4 likely contenders (TB, BOS probably). Doesn't mean he wouldn't take the trade, just means he gets to make the final call as to where he goes.

If I were GMGM, I'd be trying hard to get McD. Huge upgrade on McNabb and Engelland and they have assets to spare.

Real solid game in Pittsburgh tonight. Both teams are generating a ton, both goalies have been stellar.

Willie O'Ree getting a treat in the stands. Ryan Reaves pulled through on his promise to score a goal for him.

I missed part of the end of the game. Why was Doughty pissed off? Was it just from fanning on the clear attempt or did something else happen?

None of his teammates back-checked. He was frustrated with them because he stopped the first two attempts, and no one came back to help with the clean-up.

Oh that makes sense. They did leave him out on an island at the end of the game.
Or maybe at that time the realization sunk in he is stuck playing with Dion Phaneuf. :)
