Ongoing NHL thread - Part deux

[pixburgher66]

So hipsters who bought the jerseys for 10 bucks at a thrift store to wear "ironically" are your target market?

That'll work out well. They are a notoriously loyal bunch.

Then everyone buys them, and those original hipsters throw theirs away, because they're now mainstream.

Circle of life.

Looks like Tootoo will be on the Devils roster and Scott Gomez will be driving a taxi...

The Devils plan to sign winger Jordin Tootoo to a contract Tuesday, but have asked center Scott Gomez to remain with the club as an unsigned player until a spot on the roster opens.

GM Lou Lamoriello said Steve Bernier and Cam Janssen, who did not practice with the Devils Tuesday, will be assigned to Albany (AHL) if they clear waivers at noon.

Defenseman Peter Harrold, who is practicing, is also on waivers....

Lamoriello does not expect any problems signing Tootoo.

“We will be sitting down with Tootoo some time today. He has not signed a contract to this point,” the GM said. “We have had preliminary discussions. Nothing concrete.

“As far as Scotty, we will recommend that he stays and practices like a taxi squad practice. We have had that conversation. If you remember in the past, Tommy Albelin did that. Scotty has had a tremendous camp. He is in great shape and has shown he can still play, but right now there is no roster spot in that role that he has.”

Between Havlat, Clowe, Josefson and possibly Jagr all being made of glass I see a roster spot opening up.

Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC
CBJ claims Cracknell from LA

Serviceable forward while other guys heal up.

I had no idea who that was, so I looked him up.

93 pts and +29 in his last year of Junior?

Looks to be a solid AHL guy, can't seem to deal with NHL games.

He's bounced around quite a bit (spent some time with the Flames), big body, just can't seem to stick with a team for very long.

He was on the Blues fourth line, if you remember them from the series against the Kings

Feels like the Jackets know that Horton is going to be out a loooong while and they grabbed this kid to bolster Springfield, so they don't have to rush Dano or Wennberg back there. Rychel can't carry the Falcons ALL year...

Two unusual lines at practice today:
Atkinson - Wennberg - Calvert (I could get very excited about this)
Dano - Anisimov - Hartnell

So, I assume that likely makes the others for Thursday.
Foligno - Johansen - Dubinsky (although two of those are not on the ice today - Foligno skating with Skille and Letestu)
Tropp - Letestu - Skille

On ice today Boll is with Chaput and Tropp. Chaput expected to be sent to Springfield as soon as Joey gets home. Odd man out.

D Pairs are
Tyutin - Prout
Erixon - Wiz
Johnson - Savard
Goloubef - Murray

Budaj has cleared waivers and is headed to St. John's, Nfld. We'll see how long it is until he is called back to Winterpeg.

Fleury's new pillows.

I read Fleury is only going with the yellow pads when the Pens are wearing the new 3rd jersey.

Methinks that will last about, oh... one start.

I watched most of his games last years and saw a ton of Jets games too. How he is not the starter there I have idea.

This is the mask that goes along with those awful yellow pads

They seemed committed to Pavelec and I guess they like this new kid, comeds. This is a make-or-break season for Ondrej.

I thought about picking up dboy97's game where we would pick games every Saturday - what do you guys think? It's a little different game than what sly is doing but I would like dboy97's game too

I know during the second half of the season I would have threads for games being picked every day but I think it's a little too hard to keep up with and do it every single day - I think Saturday's would be good enough

I do see giving Michael Hutchinson a chance, that I understand. I just dont know what more they need to see from Pavelec.

Was that the one where we picked a player to score a point or a goalie to get a s***out? Who ran that one if that wasn't it? That was pretty fun too.

Ondrej's constant winning of the starting job in Winnipeg reminds me a lot of Toskala in Toronto.

Dubinsky out for Thursday. Lower Body.

Oh, poo.

Hutchinson should be the starter, but apparently Jets fans can't have nice things
