I really, really hope he turns into a good D-Man. The trade would work out for both sides. Can you give a quick report on Shatty Lite?

Just in general? He's got a lot of promise. He has nice accuracy on both shots and passes, so he'll slip one behind a goalie or through the defensemen every once in a while. Really, if it weren't for the whole "defense" part of his role, he'd be awesome.

Like most of the Avs guys before the trade, he's a little smallish though and gets pushed off the puck too easily. If he was paired with someone bigger, I think they'd work together well. But among the rest of the Avs defensive woes, he was just another guy not getting the job done.

I'm glad the Sens resigned Chris Phillips. They both suck and deserve each other.

Nice deal for Buffalo, (I feel like I'm in the wrong forum though).

I'm about to shit a brick. The Blues owner is broke. They're dumping salary.

Brad Boyes is trending on Twitter.

I really, really, really, really, really want Checketts to sell the team.

Look out for the Flames. Kipper is on fire!
I just hope this isn't the usual scenario of squeaking into the playoffs just to shit the bed in the first round.

**Predarat** · 02-28-2011, 09:10 AM

When Kipper is on in the playoffs he can really steal a few wins, the way the Flames play they can get the other two. If the Flames can make it in they have potential to be a very damgerous team.

2:50 p.m.: Penner to Kings
The Los Angeles were expected to be the 800-pound gorilla on this year's trade deadline day and they embraced that perception by acquiring Dustin Penner from the Edmonton Oilers for prospect Colten Teubert, plus first-round pick in 2011 and a second rounder in 2012.
Penner is a 6-4, 240-pound forward who immediately moves into the Kings' top two lines. he has 21 goals this season. He is essentially a 30-goal scorer who is difficult to move around.
Teubert is a big, strong defenseman. He's definitely going to play in the NHL.

I love how it's already the playoffs basically (for the Kings) because every game is so huge right now. Same goes for the rest of the Pacific division.

The Poz · 02-28-2011, 03:02 PM

Pretty damn tight.

I haven't bought an EA Sports game in probably 6 or 7 years, but a friend of mine bought the Wii version of EA's NHL Slapshot.... there's a lot going on with that game, with making all the shooting and checking motions on top of playing the game, and we ended up playing it for like 6 hours the other night.

We took Team USA through the other international teams, starting with Germany, then the Swiss, Sweden, Finland, Czech Republic, Russia, then Canada... we eventually beat all of them, including Canada something like 8-7 in OT. We out-hit teams by an average of ~200-15.

It's still very much an arcade game, like all of their other games, but it's a lot more fun with the Wii hockey stick.

Rams Fan · 02-28-2011, 06:43 PM

Winchester to the Ducks for a 3rd in 2012. I like it. Blues have a 1st either this year or next, and at least two picks in the 2nd an 3rd for the 2011 and 2012 drafts.
