Phoenix waived two players today (Bell and Gratton) so I wouldn't be shocked if they are adding a player or two via trade. Something to keep an eye on.

His last post was nearly 2 months ago...
If he is a new father...then that explains it. We miss you Colin!
-
anybody having problem with the crowd noise on CBC? I can barely hear the commentary...which isn't a terrible thing.
-
And Gainey better stop losing talent for nothing. Trade him for a pick and you will find teams to trade. Trying to get another teams best players for him is just fantasy GM hockey.
They don't lose him and his rights can still be traded. Wait for the right deal...no sense in trading him for a pick cause all you do is help another team (and allow other players to try to take advantage of similar situations on the team) . Teach the kid a lesson. Perezhogin made the same mstake and he would probably be playing with Kovalev since nobody else can play on the 2nd line.

I was already on there too
-
Jagr is named after my favorite drink...........therefore I am okay with him!
In that "case". I wish the Habs would bring Bob Beers out of retirement.
-
As per Ek,
Gainey is at the Rangers/Pens game which is a bit odd. He and Sather are friends and have traded a few times before...maybe a deal is to be made tonight?
The Rangers are desperate for wingers and d-men.
-
Dandenault
Benched, injured, or traded. I don't think he played at all in the 3rd period and I didn't see him on the bench.
-
Souray is out indefinitly with a shoulder injury. His -3 rating and 2 pts in 6 games will be sorely missed.
-
While I am a bit surprised that Smolinski is on the second line...I am not upset to see Kostitsyn on the 3rd. I have not witnessed any amazing talent from this guy yet. Maybe this will wake him up.

Goalies now put way to much shit on their masks. I like the simplistic shapes of the 80's like Murray Bannerman, or Steve Baker. Or 90's greats like Patrick Roy (Habs) and Mike Richter

Rant complete
Those first too masks look like they should be worn by mexican wrestlers. While I agree that some masks are a bit overboard, I like Price's.
-
There is talk the Bulldogs will sign Joel Bouchard to replace Jamie Rivers..who still hasn't reported to the Dogs.
-
I avoided him like the plague and I am glad I did. When healthy he is one of the craftiest forwards in the world. It doesn't seem to take much for him to get injured. Any bets on Peca too?
-
Plelanec IMO looked invisible last night. I actually like Grabovsky more than him. Kostitsyn was also more invisible than Grabs. It's just one game, pretty early to make judgements on that.
-
After all the talk about Toskala being a significant/big/huge upgrade over Raycroft, Ray gets the opening night start.
We should trade them Halak for their 1st rounder...
-
More on Hossa,
He is likely starting the season on the bench. Don't see how he will be a 30 goal scorer when he can't make the lineup. he had a terrible camp. Straka is on the top line.

As much as we can groan about Eklund...we all (well most people) continue to visit his site. Regardless of whether you like Ek or not...his site is one the best ones for unique NHL information on the internet. His main bloggers (not the crappy fan bloggers listed on the left of his site) are a good source of information. This week he added Darren Pang and Bill Clement, 2 very well respected hockey guys. If you can't stand Ek, then don't read the rumour part of the site. The rest of the site is well worth reading IMO.

"Marcel Hossa is close to earning a spot on the top line with Scott Gomez and Jaromir Jagr.
Coach Tom Renney is known for juggling his lines, and even positions, among his forward ranks. With 12 veteran forwards in camp, the focus is more on combinations rather than who will make the team. Hossa has played the bulk of camp with Jagr and Gomez, and looked good on the top line late last season. However, Renney must also decide what to do with Petr Prucha and a prospect like Nigel Dawes, as both have their offensive talents wasted on the third and fourth lines. The most likely scenario is that Renney will try out combinations throughout the season."

I read the same type of thing in the Gazette a couple of weeks ago. It's a big surprise to me to hear he may not even crack the lineup.
Yeah, I read that too a couple weeks ago but a lot has changed since then. That statement was made on September 18. The start of preseason is a pretty bold time to make predictions. The Rangers spent a lot of money on Centres and little on left wingers.
Today from Spectors:
New York Rangers: will likely retain veteran forward Marcel Hossa despite the fact Nigel Dawes out-performed him in training camp. Demoting Hossa would mean placing him on waivers which he's unlikely to clear.
-
Letang was cut from the Penquins. A lot of people had high hopes for him this year.
Other notables.
Downey signed by Detroit
Johnson likely to stay with the Blues
Salmaleinen cut and on waivers
Cullimore not offered contract
Grigorenko demoted
Denis Gauthier on waivers
Anson Carter not offered contract
Marcel Hossa on thin ice...may not make cut
Tanabe not offered contract
Bourdon demoted
McGillis not offered contract
-
It would be a pretty amazing accomplishment if Hossa were to suddenly become a 30 goal score. His career best is 10. How long is a team suppose to wait?
-
I don't think that roster is set in stone. Lapresse is reporting that Dandenault is playing forward. I assume Gorges is playing then.

Just published on François Gagnon's blog:
À la lumière de l’entraînement de ce matin – le Canadien a complété son escale de trois jours à St-Jovite – les trios d’attaquants et les duos de défenseurs seront les suivants :
[translation: according to the morning skate lines, here's tonight's lineup]
Attaquants (de gauche à droite)
Christopher Higgins – Saku Koivu – Michael Ryder
Andrei Kostitsyn – Mikhail Grabovski – Alex Kovalev
Guillaume Latendresse – Tomas Plekanec – Bryan Smolinski
Steve Bégin – Maxim Lapierre – Tom Kostopoulos
Défenseurs (de gauche à droite)
Andrei Markov – Mike Komisarek
Francis Bouillon – Mathieu Dandenault
Mark Streit – Ryan O’Byrne
It is believed that Carbonneau wants to play his starting team for the final 2 preseason games. With the exception of Brisebois and Hamrlik who are missing the game from injuries...could this be the Habs starting line-up next wednesday? I like having 3 lines capable of scoring.

His cap hit is 2M...not sure what it is prorated from that. He is not producing in Pittsburgh becasue he has been playing on the 4th line all season. I would take the gamble but if possible, wait until he goes on re-entry waivers.
