First off, I apologize if any of these ramblings come out incoherent. I spent the day reffing elementary basketball, which was mentally and physically draining. Came home to basketball on TV all night too. Thank goodness the Oilers-Sabres game was on… NOT. Seriously, of all the games for TSN to show, how was this the [...]
Update: Alex Killorn will not receive supplemental discipline for last night's hit. So there you go. * Steven Stamkos unleashed a hat-trick on the Maple Leafs last night scoring on all three of his shots. Is he “back” or has he just picked on some poor defensive squads? Probably a little bit [...]
UPDATE: It looks like both Ryan Kesler and James Neal will miss extended time. Kesler has a sprained knee and will miss a couple of weeks. I think they shut him down for the year. The Canucks are drifting farther and farther from the playoff picture so there is little sense in him coming [...]

What a great couple of days of trades. I didn't imagine there would be that much action. The past couple of deadlines have been stinkers but this one was a beauty. It was great to have the action stretch over a couple of days, which technically limited the number of "deadline day" deals but certainly [...]
