Montreal has recalled forward David Desharnais from Hamilton. He has 16 goals and 48 points in only 37 games with the Bulldogs. Looking at his stats, he was a scoring sensation in both the QMJHL, and the ECHL. However, he is only 5-foot-6 and 170 pounds. Montreal signed him as a free agent in 2008, [...]
In my youth, this phrase was heard in the neighbourhood more than a few times. It was used during games of Hide and Seek to let everyone know that it was safe to come out from their hiding spots. Let’s hope that the newest Ranger, Olli Jokinen hears the call and emerges from wherever his 30-goal talent and passion have been hiding for the last few seasons. For those of you who own O.J. in your pools, you have to be optimistic that he finds his return to the Eastern Conference welcoming! He hasn’t been the same since leaving the Panthers in 2008.
With apologies to the New Jersey Devils, the Detroit Red Wings represent the clearest facsimile of a NHL dynasty since the glory days of the Edmonton Oilers. But things have plainly broken down this season. With injuries piled up like rush-hour commuters in the season’s first snowstorm, the Red Wings are currently fighting for their playoff lives. But now their injured players are returning, what will this mean for you?
Buy Marlie Suite tickets HERE. Details below. Ken Hitchcock has been FIRED. This is from Jeff Marek's Twitter. Jackets owners rejoice! I don't have to break this one down for you - it's a GOOD THING if you own Jackets players. 'Nuff Said. Ranger line combos last night: Jokinen with Gabby and Prospal; [...]
The long held-up deal has finally gone through and the Flames have sent Olli Jokinen and Brandon Prust to New York for Chris Higgins and Ales Kotalik. The deal rescues the Rangers from a bad contract, as Jokinen's deal is up this year, and gives Calgary what amounts to a hope and a prayer.
Hilarious look at Gary Bettman's inbox. Down Goes Brown is one of the funnier guys to follow on Twitter. Incidentally, you can follow me on Twitter - @DobberHockey With three last night, Sid the Kid is now tied for the NHL lead in goals with Patrick Marleau with 37. John-Michael Liles was a [...]

The Calgary Flames have dealt defenseman Dion Phaneuf, baggage Fredrik Sjostrom, prospect defenseman Keith Aulie to the Toronto Maple Leafs for Matthew Stajan, Niklas Hagman, Jamal Mayers and Ian White.
In two of my keeper leagues, the draft pick is pretty important. In one of them, a team has already traded their 2014 first rounder. The 2012 first rounder has been moved in each of them. But there could be an NHL Entry Draft coming very soon that will be so weak that a first round pick in your keeper league will be the equivalent of a late second rounder this past summer.
Kotalik and Higgins for Jokinen and Prust. The deal frees up just $500K for the Flames, so not sure why they did that. If it's faith in Higgins, then they have more of it than I do. And Kotalik would never last under Sutter. Jokinen gets another chance centering a superstar - the upside is [...]
