"Oh Ray, Ray....sorry, we have to interrupt you. We've received word that the Canucks have traded Booby McFinklestein and we have to go to him live."

what I was thinking

and then Shero 10 minutes later: " We have traded for Vanek for a 6th rounder, TK and Jeffrey"

 

[pensfan71]

He sounds optimistic on Sid, he'll be back in 3-4 weeks than

 

[Axman]

Martin Erat in NSH has a NTC but belief is he was prepared to waive it to go to the Washington Capitals. #tradecentre

Shero talking about how fast he believes the team is, and he mentions Glass and Adams being some of the fast players
?
Shero, I love what you did with the team, I'm supportive of every move but really?

 

[Crafton]

Shero:

- 'Kennedy is better on the RW'
- 'JJ was worth the chance based on the price'
- on speed: Murray compared to Gill. team speed is still present. quick and mobile.
- on Sid: no time-frame. dental work done today. no red flags (at this point).
- admits there are surprises that even he doesn't know about

 

[Dying Alive]

And every player in the Pens locker room breathes a sigh of relief as the deadline comes and goes.

 

[OnMyOwn]
