Hearing surgery coming for LA D Matt Greene. Long-term injury. Big loss on ice and in room

Maybe LA could use a defenseman like Dennis Wideman?

Gonna have to go with a less pricy option... Patrick Wiercioch anyone.

Eddie Johnston is a funny guy - This is a fairly long article, but well worth the read.

Anderson: Do you remember meeting him (him being Bobby Orr)?

Johnston: He came in as an 18-year-old [in 1966-67], and his dad came to training camp. His dad said to me, "I'd like to have my son stay with you." I looked at him and I said, "Are you sure you've got the right guy?" Because back then I had a nickname of "Downtown." I used to go to the bars and have a few drinks. He said, "Yeah, they told me that you were the guy that he should stay with." So [Orr] would take me downtown. I would go in the bars. He would go to the movies or something and pick me up around 11:30, 12 o'clock. After a week or two, I bought him a chauffeur's hat. I'd come out of the bar and go in the back seat and he'd drive us home. Here we are, the best player in the game driving me around. He stayed with me for a couple of years, but he never drank until he was 21. Ever. I made sure of that.

Q&A with Eddie Johnston

To bad for Greene and LA, so yeah they'll go for a defenseman. Maybe Hamonic?

Who had December 1st in the pool?

Maple Leafs place forward Lupul on injured reserve - NHL.com - News

Joffrey Lupul watches Garret Sparks, catches fire, out 10-12 weeks.

Raffi Torres Jr. strikes again...

I hear that Beaulieu stayed in the game...uhhhhhhh...why?

 

[higgyfan4]

Well, that was a strange looking goal Pens. Ironic that it was deflected by the former Penguin d-man Martin.

Jack Johnson's apartment is probably still in foreclosure there.

I was at practice tonight so I didn't see it. How many shots did Johansen block?

Not many, it seemed both teams just sat back and tried not to lose.

He was tired, he got 8 minute of rest after that.

That is a textbook forearm shiver by Gudas...

I don't think they will do much. Greene hasn't played (really) yet so maybe this frees up a spot for a call up.

Kessel with the Bobby Orr Power Play Pinball goal.

 

[pixburgher66]

West coast games starting at 7:45 local are just evil. Come on. Having a Marleau ceremony is just dandy, but then don't have a 10:30 start...I have a job! And enjoy sleep!

Flames down 3-0 after 40 minutes, win 4-3 in a shootout.

Joel Ward buttends Geno in the chops...refs blow the whistle to get Geno off the ice, no penalty. Next shift Geno blows past Paul Martin and scores on the wraparound. Angry (but controlled) Geno is the best Geno.

 

[pixburgher66]

If Geno ever had the consistency of other stars...his skill set is another planet.

 

[Darkstone42]

The Pens look great so far tonight. Fast, precise, aggressive. I'd like to see this team more often than not.
