ESPN had it flash across the bottom of the screen, but no one can confirm or deny.

Rumour, as ASQ's favorite ex-Hab is bandied about...

From ESPN today...

Big Rangers-Ducks trade coming?
10:28AM ET ESPN INsider RUMORS

The Anaheim Ducks and New York Rangers might be talking about a big trade that would bring Christopher Higgins to Disneyland. The Hockey Insider reports that Todd Marchant could be coming to Madison Square Garden, in exchange, but there is no word on what other pieces -- if any -- will be involved.

BTW is Spez-D trying to turn GMH into HB Lite?

I don't know how you could characterize a trade involving Higgins and Marchant as "big".

And Guy Big was small.

And Guy appeared on both The Hilarious House of Frightenstein AND The Tommy Hunter Show.

GMH's cultural scope knows no bounds thanks to your astuteness.

Are the Panthers turning it around? Tonight, Florida wins their third straight game, as Vokoun posts back-to-back shutouts.

In the East, the standings continue to get tighter. Just three points separate the 8th and 13th place teams, with 8th, 9th and 10th tied on points.

I expect it to be close all season.

I heard they couldn't even give away free tickets to the Panther's game last night. Wow.

I have several friends (well, friends of my parents) who used to be "Snow Birds" but now with their savings having been decimated they no-longer fly to Florida for the winter.

Fewer Canadians means fewer tickets sold to Canada's Game.
