Seven games in the NHL tonight

Devils have a brutal stretch coming up. Back to back Friday/Saturday against LA and Pitt, then 3 days off, followed by 3 games in 4 days on a west coast road trip against Anaheim, LA and San Jose. Going to be very difficult. I've said it before, the Devils schedule has been totally fucked out so far.

If Gaborik gets traded it'll be to Vancouver.

Book it

Okay, bear in mind you are quoting the TwatWaffle and he is about as reliable a source of valid information as a used car salesman.

That said, the challenge was issued to the whole team. Play harder. It's that simple. Since the challenge was issued he has one assist. So it's a strong possibility that he won't be re-signed. I don't know what his deal is. If he just doesn't like it here or what. He seems to put in Marian Gaborik levels of effort (which is often but not always), but he has been surpassed by Cam Atkinson as the most solid winger. That doesn't bode well for a guy in a contract year. With a power forward winger set to be in the lineup in a month.

I don't think a trade will happen for at least a month after Horton comes in. Because they have to figure out how the lines shake out. at this point, Johansen - Atkinson - Dubinski is working so it would be possible the "second" line will become Horton - Jenner - Calvert/Gaborik. A full line that isn't on the ice (or showing up consistently) currently. Horton could take a lot of the defensive pressure away, facing better D at least at first. Gabby needs to find his groove before that, but he could really take off facing lesser D pairings.


If the Rangers want him back, I would be happy to take Nash back.

Oh we're not taking him back and especially not for Nasher lol

Would he waive his NTC to be re-united with Torts?

Dangit. I guess I can still count on Philly giving us some key pieces while taking away some scraps.

Vinny The Cavalier and Couturier will do. But they'll have to take Boll too. Maybe Comeau.

OEL, Yandle and one of the deepest D's in the league say hi!!

Centermen, hell even forwards, who collectively are 200 ft, 2-way players haven't been seen in Edmonton since 2006.

Solid leadership in Doan and continuity behind the bench with Tippett are not exactly trademarks of Oilers hockey these days either.

As sub-par as Dubnyk has been he isn't the only reason the Oilers have stunk this year.

I'd say there are a slew of differences between the two teams.

So many people have no idea how good the Coyotes D really is. They'd be even better, but Derek Morris has been out of the lineup.

Derek Morris is a whiny overrated dingleberry.

I'd take him on my team any day, He'd be the Isles best defenseman. What's sad is the Yotes are on a roll, but you probably wouldn't know it in the Phoenix/Glendale area.

Fasth is about to come off IR so the Ducks have sent down G Fredrik Andersson. Andersson has a 6-1 record & a GAA under 1.70. Whoever scouts goalies for the Ducks should get a raise. They have 4 potential starting goalies in their system right now & Hiller will be an UFA at the end of the year. They won't miss him one bit.

Fasth
Hiller
Andersen
Gibson

Yeah, that's some pretty good goalie depth all right.

So how much is he going to get for the second hit in the game? He's a repeat offender now.
