Can we trade him now then, while his stock is at it's peak?

Here here. Sell high and you might be able to drink some urine.

The statute of limitations on that is over. It ended on deadline day. Next year is a different year, and hopefully he will rebound somewhat and we can move him. Hell, he can't be any worse right?

So why did I still have that sig? hahaha

I mentioned it right after the deadline passed in sort of a "phew" moment. I guess you missed it.

Anyone mentionned the Lehner had a shutout against the best team in the ahl?

Just got home and realized he was in net for Bingo tonight. Damn!!!

True. I think you said it to answer me asking if the deal was done.

Jim Obrien was on all 3 BSens goals. 1G2A.
I think he's 2nd on the team scoring now?

It's great he's tearing up The AHL but he's got a long ways to go before he's NHL ready.

Kuba was desperately trying to score on the empty net... heh heh...

He doesn't have a goal this year so I cna understand that.

He was out for the full two minutes on at least one PP, and if I'm not mistaken, he was also out for a full two minutes on a PK, at one point. If not the full two then pretty close to it.

Just checked, yep:

Just look for Karlsson's line at the bottom of the Sens. The powerplays are indicated with green border in the space between shift lines, and the PKs are in blue. There is one PK shift where he was on for all but the last few seconds -- probably came off when the puck was iced as the PK was expiring.

That's impressive.

I was watching some post game from Caps players and I find interesting that they said a couple times the forecheck was not working because Anderson always got the puck before the forechecker got time to retrieve.
Feels good to have a real goalie.

150% the biggest difference in team defense. Ottawa has never had a goaltender who can move the puck and direct traffic like Anderson. I mentioned that before but he is a very good puck handling goaltender.

I just saw this on TSN.ca under their video section, and then heard them refer to weircioch by the same name in the highlight..

Matt Bradley feels he delivered a clean hit on Brad Winchester and was unfairly penalized.

Yeah, it's quite the difference from Elliott and Gerber.

I didn't think it was that bad.

I'm assuming you're talking about the actual hit and not the fact that TSN butchered Weircioch's name, latter being my main point

I guess I missed that. Although, can you really blame them?

Yeah, on the hit, I think it was OK. They called it boarding but the hit was delivered before the goal line and almost at the bottom of the circle. Not really close to the boards.
