General Hockey Talk - Injuries, signings, factoids + other news from around the league

Carolina just finished off Atlanta by a score of 3-2.

I finally get a rest from watching hockey today. Anaheim at Edmonton starts in 30 minutes tho'. It is not a huge break, but it is a break nonetheless.

That is good. I don't want Ottawa to have to keep losing to maintain their postition. It would be nice if the Isles, Devils and Leafs could keep winning, that way Sens fans don't have to cheer for just losses.

These Sens need to feel what it is like to win; all these losses aren't as good as some make them out to be.

Not a good start for Edmonton, but they have a powerplay right now to try and tie this game up early.

Drew Stafford scored his fourth hat trick of the year.

He has 6 more goals than anyone on the Senators.

IIRC, he has all those hattricks recently as well; maybe in 2011. That can't be right.

The last one was 5 days ago.

EDIT: The 2nd was on New Years Day, and the 1st was on Dec 15, so yeah, fairly recently.

Thanks for posting the correct info.

The Isles winning in OT is HUGE!!!

No worries.

The Oilers are falling apart. Two goals for the Ducks in about a minute. 3-0

FU Oilers.

Even the 2nd overall pick pretty well guarantees us our pick of any forward. The Oilers will take Larsson with the 1st pick almost assuredly.

"The message should be clear to all players: targeting the head of an opponent by whatever means will be dealt with by suspension," Colin Campbell said in making his ruling.

So, Colin, is punching a guy in the head during a fight targeting the head?

Haha!

Too true shabbs. More mixed messages from the league.

Bob McKenzie just tweeted that Peter Forsberg will be announcing his retirement today... wow, what a roller coaster.

Cue the "Flöppa to Ottawa" rumours...

What the Foppa?

that's a shame. I guess the return just hasn't worked out as he hoped. At least he tried till the bitter end
