Briere with a last-second goal to win it for the Avs against Boston. Just love it

Trevor Gillies is still a cnut then:
Only got a 12 game ban for this.

Nyquist and Zetterberg are unreal.
Tatar had a great game too. Crazy agile.
Great goal to finish it off, with 9 seconds left.
Abdelkader can have my babies.
Way too easy goal to give up in the last minute of OT. Crazy play from Martin there. The Ducks started the season flying yet again, that's seven in a row now..
Brilliant game from Abdelkader yet again, huge effort from him last night on the first 3 goals.
Tarasenko second brilliant goal in three days. Some player.
second brilliant goal in three days. Some player.Anyone here ever go to matches in the UK. I've been to a few but I've had terrible luck with teams. The first one closed down at the end of the season I saw them. The next one was closed down because of safety reasons (their glass broke too many times in a season) and last season I went to a few matches with the Slough Jets, who have been demoted.
Nice to follow Nashville's games now. Filip Forsberg who used to play for my local team is really on fire at the moment. Will be interesting to see how long he can keep this up.
Tarasenko at it again, absolutely love that man.
The last 2 weeks have been very very sad for all hockey fans, especially the older ones, who saw or heard some of the following names at their best. I can't recall a span of 2 weeks in the past where we lost so many legendary figures in ice hockey in their own way.
Jean Béliveau (1931-2014): 10 Stanley Cups as a player and 7 more as the club's vice-president (Montreal). Companion of the Order of Canada, Knight of the National Order of Quebec, the true definition of a true legend and a top class act according to everyone who met him. If I am to be honest with everyone, he would be like what Sir Bobby Charlton is for United, but even better. I met "Le Gros Bill" a few times in the past; he is what people say about the great man.
Pat Quinn (1943-2014): former player (Toronto, Vancouver, Atlanta) and former head coach (Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Toronto, Edmonton, Team Canada).
Viktor Tikhonov (1930-2014): former player (VVS Moscow, Dynamo Moscow) and former head coach (CSKA Moscow, Soviet Union national team).
Gilles Tremblay (1938-2014): former player (Montreal) and former broadcaster (Hockey Hall of Fame, 2002).

Gordie isn't doing so well either.
You're right. People are also following updates about Gordie's health condition (*fingers crossed*). Whatever happens, it is already a dark time for hockey fans who followed the great moments those people gave to hockey. I don't remember such a short span of time when that many quality names pass away.
No one following the junior world championships? Hoping for a Can-Swe final. I think the junior hockey tournaments are more entertaining than the football equivalences. Loved going to OHL games when I lived in Canada too.
I get to Cardiff Devils games every so often. No real danger of them shutting down, there is a small but dedicated following who are mental for them down here.
Datsyuk is a whole different level of human being.
5 on the bounce for the Red Wings. Did extremely well to rally against Buffalo from 3 down.
How we handle the upcoming 'tendy battle between Mrasek and Howard will be interesting. I personally would try to deal Jimmy away and with the way he has bounced back this season, now might be the best time to do so. But I wouldn't complain about having them both on the books. There are no immediate FA concerns for us so we can afford it for another season. Plus Dan Cleary will be gone so we will get back that 2.5 mil that we have been flushing down the toilet.

Wary of being the only poster in here, but feck it.
Some of what is being asked in return of the Red Wings for a right handed defender is shocking. I know Babcock hasn't helped the situation by putting it out there he is desperately trying to seek one, but seriously, a prospect like Mantha plus another Early pick for a guy who has done relatively nothing like Tyler Myers ?

Myers isn't worth more than a bag of hockey pucks by now.
Wouldn't give more than a 4th rounder at most for him.

He has very good size and he would be a good-ish fit offensively in our system, other than that though I don't see it. Particularly when we have Marchenko and Sproul, two righties who our Minor staff are quite big on.
His size and reach has always been good, unfortunately he hasn't made the best of his abilities.
Your being a bit harsh! He's still only 24 and has been playing in a terrible team. He's can still become a top defensive man.
He has also played over 350 games in the last 6 years and after that excellent rookie season it's been all downhill from there.
Granted the Sabres have been beyond terrible this year but I wouldn't hold out hope that Myers will become anything more than an average D-man.

Take a bow
What is your bet for Calder trophy this season then?
Forsberg has slowed down a bit but might still have the edge over Aaron Ekblad playing for a better team also. Been watching a few games lately with Flames and I really like Gaudreau too but I think it will be either Ekblad or Forsberg.

Has to be Forsberg he's leading the preds in all categories and is like a + 23. He's been brilliant this year!
Hope Forsberg wins it, but Ekblad is putting up ridiculous points for a rookie d-man so we'll see.
Red Wings Vs Avs.
40 secs in and a fight.
Old days !!

Well well, serves me right I guess for badmouthing Myers. Now he has been traded to my Jets
I guess I will have to hope I have to retract my previous comments soon
Not a bad trade for either team I think.

Hahah! Thats a pretty good trade. I hope Kane does well, he looked like a top prospect at one stage.
Jets are having a great season! I was watching them yesterday, Byfuglien beasting!
So far so good Myers.
Keep shoving my previous words down my throat please

God dammit I hate the Blackhawks.
Some insane prices being paid prior to deadline day.
Erik Cole to Wings for scrubs and a 2nd while getting a third back is a cheeky bit of business from us. Need a big body in just in case Franzen is out for the year.

Good business by the Wings.
Also a decent depth pickup by the Jets to get Stempniak for the playoff push.

Picked up an experienced right handed puck carrier for nothing as well. Well placed now for a serious run.
Going to the Jets game tomorrow with my missus actually... We were both pretty shocked to see none other than Karem Benzema post a photo on instagram of him wearing a Jets cap recently. Didn't think anyone in Spain had even heard of Winnipeg, nevermind the Jets. Of course, he probably isn't familiar with the team anyway.
Anyway, would be great to see the Jets make the playoffs. It's all this cold city has to offer!
Keith Yandle to Rangers is pretty big trade. They probably have a best defensive group in the NHL.
Good trade for Arizona as well, they get some draft picks and Anthony Duclair, who was great in juniors. If they manage to get the 1st overall this year, they would end up with a future line of Domi, Mcdavid and Duclair. That would be amazing!

The problem for the Arizona have got is that the Oilers haven't even started to tank yet for last spot and yet we are still clear in the conference at the bottom. It does get harder each year, and we are leaving it a bit later than normal, but the tank will start soon.
