The Blues have turned into a dumpster fire even faster than I thought they would. May as well shop Tarasenko while they're at it, since they're setting themselves up to not win shit the next several years. |

Shattenkirk could decide where he wanted to go so that limited their options. A very late 1st rounder, a bottom 6 AHL'er, and a conditional 2019 2nd rounder (I think Caps have to make ECF and Shatty plays in 50% for that to kick in). I don't get Copley for Malone as some Blues fans thought he was a key piece in trade for Oshie...sure he is a UFA after this year...I wonder if Washington keeps him with Wolves for remainder of season...any insight Baby McNown? |

Ottawa gets The Viktor Stalberg Project for a 3rd. Such a Sens move. |

Carolina is trying to unload Teuvo less than a year after acquiring him. |

There it is, Iginla to the Kings for a conditional fourth. Hope he at least makes the playoffs, one of my favorites for years. |

Pittsburgh called up Tom Sestito tonight. It went about as well as you expected. 1 minute of ice time, 20 PIM and a meeting with Player Safety. |

Of course it's no surprise he is an ex-Canuck. It seems that whenever this is a shitbird like this (Cooke, Torres, etc.) the one common thread is they spent part of their career in Vancouver. |

Stupid part is everyone knew that this was the end result. It's why they have him in the minors, it's why they called him up. |

I guess this was expected and they called him up because in a previous game Malkin cheap shotted a Jet in the head. |

Here is a classic gem from 24/7 showing us Tom Sestito at his best. I love how Brad Richards brushes him off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_cont ... Yh6RdMum6A |

At the time Sestito was getting his first call up (or I think it was his first) and was sent back down a few days later. Richards was basically saying it's just like a paid fantasy camp for him and he's not a real pro. |

I don't think they'll do it, but Sannozay's trying to boot the Pacific lead to Anaheim. Lost 1-0 to Dallas, which I didn't think was possible. |

The highest the Avs can finish the year is 63. (SPOILER: they won't.) The infamous 2015 Sabres finished with 54, the loathsome 2006 Blues with 57. Pretty good chance they finish behind both. I cannot stress how much worse those two teams were on paper. |

The Avs blew 2-0 and 4-2 leads in regulation and lost to the Oilers 6-4. This team is so amazing. We're witnessing history. EDIT: wait, they pulled the goalie because whyyyyyyy not, Draisaitl scores, 7-4. |

NHL decides not to punish Crosby for slashing off a Senator's finger tip. The incident was not penalized in game. |

A look back at possibly the most famous fight in hockey The 97 Avs-Red Wings brawl http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/goes ... che-brawl/ Quote: Paul Devorski
His role: He's the referee for this whole mess, and he could not be any less impressed with any of it. You can see him at various points, calmly observing the action like a bored lunch monitor. Hey, here's a fun game: Try to guess how many penalty minutes Devorski gave out for everything we just watched. Remember, the Senators and Flyers got over 400 PIM a few years later for one good line brawl followed by a parade of awkward wrestling matches. What's your over-under on what Devorski dropped on the whole Wings/Avs debacle? Can we set the starting point at roughly 7,000? The answer: 22. He gave out 22 penalty minutes. Combined. For the whole thing. |

I am beginning to suspect Faxes From Uncle Dale has only been talking up the Sharks the way they have because Sam is horny for Hockey Twitter Sharks fan @stace_ofbase. They're MinnesotaWilding their own division to the Ducks and Oilers. |

Sharpy out for the season; (JMO) maybe for good? https://www.nhl.com/news/dallas-stars-p ... -288077342 Probably explains why he wasn't coming here in a deadline deal. |

Not necessarily career-ending, but any contract he signs next year is likely to be a one-year reclamation-project deal. Maybe the Coyotes will sign him to a big 35+ contract and have him retire immediately so they can carry dead cap space. |

I love Sharp but I do not want him back on a Soupy like deal. At this point he is very much a shadow of his former self and would take a place that I prefer occupied by one of our kids (Hayden, Motte, Vinnie, etc.) where there can be development for a piece who can further support the core and keep the window extended. |

I agree, there's no place for him here anymore. Let him play out the string in Las Vegas. |

Wild lose in OT to the Dead Things...gain a point to be 7 points back with 7 games left. |

Fine, they won't be a treat. I kind of wish Sharp would hang them up though as this season has taken a toll on his body. |
