'Being the hockey geek that I am, the trade deadline is one of my favorite times of the year. Suspense building as the rumors mount, the excitement that every small trade making me wonder if this is the domino that starts it all. This year was no different; waiting, wondering what my favorite team would do. Would they buy? Sell? A little of both?'

LOLOLOL I thought this was the highlight of that article:

There it was, more information and my heart sank to the pit of my stomach. Darren Dreger reporting that Sven Baertschi has been traded to the hated Vancouver Canucks. My blood began to boil, a rage filled me like I had not felt since the Jarome Iginla saga of 2013. I still waited for word on the return, hoping, praying that Treliving had sodomized Jim Benning and the Canucks. The final piece of information came fairly quickly and it set me off, my insides were like Hulk Hogan hulking up in one of wrestling matches. A second round pick. An f'ing second round pick! Unable to keep my feelings to myself, wanting to give Treliving a patented Hogan leg drop; I blew up on hfboards, ripping apart Treliving and the fact he had traded a good prospect to one of our most bitter rivals for a magic bean. More upset about the destination than the return, I decided to step back from my keyboard and wait for an explanation.

That was a great read!
