Didnt Paul Ranger do this before in the past couple years? put himself in a vulnerable position and ended up getting smoked? not sure if it was with the marlies

His brother matt was supposed to be leaving university too ... anyone see anything on where he is going ? ... surprised they didnt sign in Phoenix together

Matt hasn't signed yet, but I think Phoenix and someone else is interested

The player I'd want is Christian Folin, a defenseman - he can step right in and play in the NHL right now

 

[jstewismybastardson]

ahh ...

Now that he's all sorted out, he's waiting to see where his younger brother is going to land. Matt Carey has decided to leave St. Lawrence after his freshman season and is going through a similar dance with NHL clubs. Ten teams have expressed interest and by Thursday night it had been whittled to two or three.

A decision on the 22-year-old's future was expected by Thursday morning.

What's that like the 5th college kid in a week to sign with an NHL team? Know we added Ryan Haggerty last week.

Well yeah if they're not in tournament and on their way to the Frozen Four. I just feel like more have left this year than other years.

Habs Must Be ‘Shaking Their Heads’ After Trading McDonagh, Says AV

Some high praise today for Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh, from his coach, Alain Vigneault.

“We were just talking about him before practice about how Montreal must be just shaking their heads,” Vigneault said, per Newsday. “He’s a thoroughbred…Having been with him now for 70 games, not only is he dependable and playing against the top lines, because of his skating and skill set, he’s got offensive potential, and he’s only going to get better…He’s a real force out there. We’re lucky to have him.”

Okay, I laughed.

Me too.

It's funny because the other day I was watching a Flyers game and I remember thinking: what the fuck happened to Sean Couturier?

Last shot might win tonight. Preds currently lead 4-3 in the 2nd period.
