Around the League (non-Yotes NHL talk)

And Henrik Sedin's ironman streak is going to end due to a rib injury. 679 straight games. Impressive.

The Sedin's take a lot of grief about their toughness or lack of. But from watching the games they dont avoid the high traffic areas at all and are very solid on their feet.

I love it. This Millar guy would have a lot of value here in the west.

I love how Dustin Brown is trying to close his legs around Miller's ankle to slow him down, even after he's been laid out.

 

[SniperHF]

What is a Kevin Miller and how much do they cost? We need about three of them.

I didn't know Kevin Millar was going for two sport status. And keeping it in the Boston area, nice. At 42 that's quite impressive.

Damn. Bruins just signed him to a two year one way deal.

Twitter funny from the Canucks:

@VanCanucks: We are 3 seconds into the 1st period and there have been no fights. That is all. #Canucks

Apparantly they have one of the best twitter feeds.

Dunno if anyone saw this, our old pal David LeNeveu was called up to be an emergency backup for the Rangers then waived today. Didn't know he was still in the game.

Del Zotto to Nashville / Klien to Rangers.

Del Zotto to Nashville / Klien to Rangers.

Interesting reading his comments on the trade. If he truly felt that way I have no understanding of why he left a premier puck moving dman like Yandle off the team.

"Obviously, the less time you spend in your end, it's a good situation. So to have those defensemen who can either skate the puck out or who can make that first pass to forwards and transition from defense to offense, you're better than most if you're one of the best at that. "

Minnesota just won over Chicago. Seems like everything that can go wrong is occuring at the same time...

Parise returned to the Wild after missing 14 games, expect them to play better now.

At a certain point no matter what the Yotes do to adjust it will not matter. Every lost game we are getting closer and closer to this point.

Canucks lost so maybe all is well.

Guess the devils are dressing Joe Whitney. I am to lazy to write so I am going to copy pasta.

Joe "The Lilliputian" Whitney makes his debut tonight.

http://nhl.si.com/2014/01/23/does-th...s-joe-whitney/

Quote:
Whitney, a two-time NCAA champion at Boston College where he was Gerbe’s teammate, was recalled today from Albany of the AHL. He skated in practice on New Jersey’s first line alongside Jaromir Jagr and Travis Zajac, and could make his NHL debut Friday night when the Devils host the Capitals.

That opportunity alone would be eye-catching, but Whitney’s size makes it even more so. The 25-year-old left winger is listed at 5-foot-6, 170 pounds, which is actually an inch taller than Gerbe’s weigh-in numbers: 5-5, 179. But New Jersey beat writer Tom Gulitti called Whitney’s official measurements “generous,” while one scout laughed and said “no f—— chance. More like 5-4.”

Loved Gerbe at BC and hoped we would trade for him. He is pretty tough despite being 5'5.

Just shows even if you are short you can still make the NHL. Just have to want it bad enough. I can imagine it is much harder for a short guy to do it.

 

[Dirty Old Man]

Noted Oiler Coyote-killer David Perron gets a hat trick...to beat the Canucks, 4-2. Thanks, kid!

Canucks just lost to the Oilers in regulation

 

[Mosby]

Dallas also lost in regulation.

We need to capitalize on this.

 

[0point1]

An opportunity for the Yotes. 6 games left before the break, need to close them out with at least 7 or 8 points. In reality probably will only get 4 points.

Edmonton shuts out San Jose 3-0. The Oilers allowed 59 shots on net.

Was the oil going with 18 forwards? That's insane!

 

[ck26]

Ben Scrivens has a 1.93 GAA and a .937 save percentage ... but he's still lost 2 more games than he's won. EDM sucks almost as much as it sucks to play for EDM.

They should've flipped one of their "big 3" at the draft and took Seth Jones but of course that would've made waaaay to much sense.

Vancouver lost in regulation tonight.
