I found this amusing...

At a hastily called news conference late Thursday, Howson said Johnson was "over the top excited" about the trade.

How is that even remotely possible?

Read something ingesting in THN. We have 9 players that have played every game, tied for most in the league with Vancouver. Pretty ingesting considering the injury troubles we had early on.
The Bruins have used the least number of players, with 24 (we have 30), and the next closest is only 26, and two 27s

Someone from the Flames organisation must've thought he was using his personal twitter account when commenting on Hemsky's deal, the tweet got deleted and Flames have tweeted an appology..

I hope this is the right link;

Devils officially announce trade. It's' Foster, Veilleux, Palmieri and Washington's 2012 2nd round pick, conditional 2013 3rd round pick for Marek Zidlicky.

Not an expert, but that seems like a HHHHUUUUGGGEEE overpayment

The Wild will get that pick if the Devils make the Eastern Conference Finals this spring and Zidlicky plays in 75 percent of New Jersey's games in the first two rounds.

Basically boils down to a mid-late 2nd rounder, and maybe a 3rd rounder for a guy that could be a 40pt blue liner in NJ if he can fit in there. Can't say I see that as a bad deal for the Debbies.

He's from Indianapolis and went to UofM. Midwestern boy.

It's not too much. Foster has little value at this point beyond his shot. Palmieri and Veilleux are fringe NHLers if they even play at all for Minnesota. Though it wouldn't surprise me since they took on Christensen and have had serious injury issues all season.

If anything, the Devils made out better than I thought they would because they cleared out some contracts. If the big problem with Zidlicky was him being unhappy playing for Yeo, then it's not a bad deal giving up players who weren't even helping NJ and two picks for a guy who could help the power play and transition game.

Agreed. The most valuable thing in that deal for Minny is the pick and Napalm is still young as well. Foster and Veileux are scrubs though. Zidlicky has been horrid too.

Strange deal.

Good night for the Rangers. They gain a point over NJ and still have a game in hand. They also have a game in hand with Philly and the Pens

BTW, remember back in December when I was saying the Bruins could possibly be a paper tiger, and that all their wins were against weak opponents, and they had lots of home games, and struggled against good teams?

Remember that?

Since January 12, the Bruins are 8-9-2, or 8-11 (4 SO wins) if you look at it my way.

Only 4 ROW in the last 19 games -- those wins against NJ, Ottawa, St. L and Washington. Weird.

The Rangers in that span are 11-5-2, or 11-7 (2 SO wins)

I would have thought the same thing but I stumbled on JJ being interviewed on Columbus TV tonight and surprisingly he did seem genuinely excited.

Well that tweet is exactly what I thought after hearing about the contract. So what's the problem?

That one actually happened, apparently. You know someone at TSN got fired for it.
