Nyquist seems to be the next Wings late round draft steal. Funny how they seem to have guys ready (Tatar/Nyquist) to replace their previous draft steals (Hudler/Filppula).

Pittsburgh Penguins defenceman Kris Letang will remain out of action for the time being with an undisclosed illness.

Rob Rossi of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports that though Letang's illness is not believed to be life threatening, the team does not know when he will play again.

Weird...hope it's nothing too serious. Apparently the Pens are supposed to give an update on him today.

So when is the Olympic break trade freeze happening?

 

[Gros Bonhomme]

Today at 3 I believe.

Did I hear that Wang wants Vanek gone from the Isles, so they don't have to pay him over the Olympic break??

Such a terrible owner....

Those are the reports. They are running out of time.

Still early, but fairly quiet on the trade front. If the action is going to pick up for the Islanders, offers need to improve.

According to Shero Letang suffered a stroke last week and will miss the next 6 weeks. Crazy.

 

[Gros Bonhomme]

Holy ****, Letang got a stroke!

WTH Chara is already in Sochi. Just saw him as flag bearer.

 

[Et le But]

I wish Letang luck...what awful news.

 

[Hullois]

Yeah the ruins let him go early because he was the flag bearer.

I know he's not a Hab, but I sincerely wish him a speedy recovery! That's brutal news.

 

[le_sean]

Terrible news. Great talent, hopefully he can come back 100%. Health first though.

 

[habtastic]

Damn, hope he has a swift recovery!

Still a hometown boy and a good guy.

 

[FisherKing]

Wow! So sorry to hear that. Great hockey player. Hope he recovers rapidly and fully.

 

[habtastic]

WTH Chara is already in Sochi. Just saw him as flag bearer.

Yeah, they talked about it during the broadcast when we played them.

Good for him, I wish him luck in his ice dancing event.

Chara is busy doing this:

Of course, user comments are always where it's at. First comment: she could be playing for the Habs.

Even more ironic that her name is Towers.

Several mentioned the creepy guy in the foreground. WTF.

Others offer comments about optimal sexual ... positioning.

Overall, it looks like the type of old school freak show photo you could have taken in a traveling circus tent.

Stroke at his age... peculiar.

Hope he recovers fully.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

Stroke at his age... peculiar.

Hope he recovers fully.

...apparently he was born with a small hole in his heart...here's hoping he makes a full recovery...sad news...
