Semin with 2 assists in 1 game

 

[third man in]

Kane (upper body) will not return.

Another one bites the dust in the Art Ross race?

They're saying it's significant. Sucks for the Hawks

Blackhawks put Kane on LTIR. They're going to add someone.

Toronto may sell many assets now and do a full rebuild.

They are top-5 in the draft already, not that far from top-2 or top-3.

I can see them doing something idiotic. Like sending Phaneuf to Dallas for a garbage return.

Meh. If they keep getting returns like they have for Winnik, Santorelli, and Franson, they can accomplish the bulk of the fire sale value via shedding depth players. Bozak could fetch them another 2nd+. Moving Phaneuf and/or Kessel will be just as much about clearing contract commitments as anything else. The bar on the return for Dion doesn't have to be set all that high. A 1st + middling roster player would get the job done.

Granted, this is all contingent upon them drafting and developing well. Which... it's the Leafs.

 

[Pigskin]

dam the Rangers ... ARZ could have quite easily won today, was a good game

the Rags have had quite a few instances of letting 3 or more goals in lately while Lundqvist has been out, but they keep winning

its really quite annoying

Was Horton's contract really not insured? That's unbelievable.

Would you have underwritten him?

He was injured when it was signed. What insurance company would pick that up?

Senate maybe?

Canes shopping Sasha and willing to retain salary, we need a top 6 winger. GMBM, bring Sasha home!

(Pipe dream which not all of us will have haha)

This tweet sounds funnier.

Should have been more. It was a real ***** move by LC.

Sharks are fading fast. They will have a very interesting off season.

It was the maximum allowed by the CBA.

He couldn't have been suspended?

Not without a hearing, I'd assume. What I should have said was "It's the maximum fine allowed by the CBA."

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Wonder if the Ducks go all in at the deadline.

 

[Capitlols]

Stamkos heating up.

 

[Langway]

Luongo & Montoya both hurt for Florida. Either their goaltending coach, MacKenzie or Upshall look to be coming in.

Aww. Montoya coming back out.

@Liams_Hockey: Last non goalie to play in the NHL was Jerry Topazzini with Boston in 1961.

‏@TSNDaveHodge: Didn't think it was possible to watch the Leafs and feel sorrier for the other team.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Philly loses in OT. The perfect result.

 

[BPMrules]

Was just about to post about this, Luongo is back in, they're destroying both of their goalies. Buffalo is watching this game, crossing their fingers and taking notes...
