Angus popping in here. Some confirmed USA line combinations: Stastny centering Parise and Kane on the top line, Kesler centering Brown and Langenbrunner, and Pavelski centering Malone and Kessel. The other line will feature Bobby Ryan and two others forwards, as a third offensive unit. The Kesler line is going to be the line [...]

Toronto has claimed Jamie Lundmark off of waivers from Calgary. Fantastic move for the Leafs - Lundmark is a great offensive player, and the Leafs are pretty thin in that category up front. Look for him to play on one of the top two lines down the stretch. He is a great pick up for [...]

MTL has picked up Dominic Moore from FLA for a second round pick. Nice deal for Florida. The Habs make up for their crazy injuries by adding a decent third-liner who has proven before that he can put up points when called upon. Per Tarik El Bashir - Chris Bourque and Karl Alzner are [...]

16 players have a plus/minus of plus-21 or greater - seven of them are Washington Capitals. Amazing - if you're hurting in that category just drop half your team and scoop up whichever Caps are available! (Thanks Joey for the line) Cal O'Reilly followed up his three-point game Saturday with a goal last night. [...]

Thoughts on Tyler Bozak - man he looks great out there already. I thought he would be "adequate" for this season with potential for so much more in the next year or two, but since the trade Bozak has really looked like an NHLer out there and a great match for Kessel. I actually wonder [...]

Tomas Kaberle played only 17 minutes against the Senators on Saturday night - fifth among Leaf defensemen. Jakub Voracek has three helpers so far tonight in the Columbus game. He is a really fun player to watch - strong on the puck, big, fast, and talented. It is hard to project him because he [...]
