NHL 2010/2011

TSNBobMcKenzie Bob McKenzie DAL trades James Neal and Matt Niskanen to PIT for Alex Goligoski.

Wow. Goligoski is worth a top line power forward with upside in Neal and a good two way defender in Niskanen? It must be a salary related move.

[TGWL]

Well, Alex Goligoski has 31 points in 60 games, and is a +20, but the argument can be made that he was playing on the fucking penguins! Is his contract up at the end of the year? Matt Niskanen's numbers aren't great, and I suppose he was only thrown in to make room? James Neil is only going to get better. What a steal for the Penguins.

I liked GoGo. But with Letang here, the Pens didn't need him.

He's a less dynamic not as skilled version of Letang. And the Penguins have a dearth of talent at the position, especially with Simon Despres on his way to the NHL next season.

Goligoski was going to be a cap casualty at some point anyway, so from the Pittsburgh standpoint this was an amazing trade.

James Neal will be the most talented winger Crosby has played with since Hossa, and Neal has a more conplimentary skill set to Crosby's. I can see Neal on the powerplay with Crosby and Malkin next season.

I'll take it.

I remember reading the hockeytraderumor site, and all the Toronto fans wanting Neal, a prospect and a 1st, or neal and Brad R, if kabs was going to be traded.

I hope this new Islanders goalie catches on so I can nickname him the Portugese Man of War.

James Reimer looked great tonight. He is now 9-4-2 with fantastic stats. I hope he has a chance to be our goaltender next season. Even if he puts up average numbers consistently, that would be an improvement for the Leafs. After suffering through Raycroft and Toskala as our starters, it is nice to see a young goaltender playing well over an extended period.

Ron Wilson, please let Reimer play the majority of the starts down the stretch. I don't care about playoffs. I just want to see if Reimer is the real deal.

[Cactus Drags]

We....we won?

[Guest mr. potato head]

Avs look terribly tired tonight.

[Plubby]

Anderson wins again. Elliott is going to have to post a sixty save shutout for Sherman to not be...made into a martyr, shall we say.

[Plubby]

*Kicks Kevin Porter in the junk*

EDIT: Oh god who let David Koci on the ice, let alone take a shot.

Yeah, that Florida offense is notoriously tough to stop.

[Plubby]

And yet, here's Elliott, .800 against the Edmonton Oilers Juggernaut. Gagner is actually nunavutian for Gretzky, dontchyerknow.

[Guest mr. potato head]

Oh, Elliott is so useless that they'd be better off putting Brandon Yip in pads or coaxing Pat Jablonski out of retirement, I'm just saying let's not give Anderson too much credit for beating two really, really bad teams.

[Plubby]

Well Elliott is playing a bad team as well I think they're like as like can be.

[Guest mr. potato head]

Anyone else catch some player loudly yelling "FUCK off" just now in COL/EDM?

[SeanDMan]

Why, did your mom hear it and ground you?

[Toe]

Leafs and Habs tonight. Reimer in net for TO and Alex Auld is expected for Montreal. He has a nasty habit of playing well against Toronto.

[Ruki]

I will sell Be's soul for a Leaf's win tonight.
