Halak to St. Louis

We're talking about the a top goalie being traded. Neither one of these two were in that class. Maybe now you could make an argument for Anderson being in the came class as Luongo (I wouldn't put Elliott there until he has played 65+ games in a season and put up comparable numbers), but at the time of the trade neither one was anywhere near that.

Robinson just signed with San Jose as an associate coach. Are you telling me he couldn't have been persuaded to go to to Montreal a few weeks ago? Opportunity missed, IMO.

R.I.P. Ernie Borgnine.

If John Wayne were alive, he'd be rolling over in his grave.

Terrible. I basically only follow him because it's like a train wreck.

Looks like Bergie is working the phones... Stay tuned.

So, apparently, it's pronounced Pareezee.

Parise corrected the pronounciation at his presser yesterday...

Pareezee indeed. He said he wanted the pronounciation changed so it was more in-line with his American heritage. Puhleeze.

Another french hater. Couldn't just stop at changing the "é" for an "e".

Well it's definately spelled Pari$e

Purcell resigned with T-Bay, allegedly a $4.5M annual hit for 3 yrs. To quote the 6th Sens: "Holy $hitballs".

Huh, that's a risk, but they would know how hard he works and what kind of effort he puts in every day. His stats are good since joining TB, so while I think it's too much, it's probably fair for a guy coming off a 65 point season.

Rumours are that Semin is going to sign a 1 year contract with Pittsburgh - which sucks for the East to be honest.

Semin, if he's motivated, would look pretty good lining up next to Crysby. Semin's shot is ridiculous.

Yeah, that would be a fit for sure.

I would actually just keep lining up Crosby with crap since he produces regardless.

Alexander Semin - Evgeni Malkin - James Neal
Chris Kunit - Sidney Crosby - Pascal Dupuis
Tyler Kennedy - Brandon Sutter - Matt Cooke

Pretty good on paper, even better if they upgrade Dupuis and push him to the 4th line.

Brendan Morrow available...apparently anyway.

Pitts is probably the perfect spot for Semin. All he has to do is fit in, strong coach, strong GM, strong owner, strong leadership inside the room. Semin doesn't make it in Pitts he won't make it anywhere.
