I think the Blues way overachieved in the first two months of the season and have regressed to the mean.

Probably should start offloading some players for prospects.

Duly noted. It makes sense now. Your positive comments on the trade were made to sell the idea of NJ trading away 2 second rounders for a rental.

Jake Allen is garbage. Wow.

Went to the Coyotes/Ducks game last night.... fast, up and down hockey, and a lot of good chances. A pretty entertaining game and it ended 2-0 (with an ENG). Goes to show why I like the sport so much... the Yotes are awful overall, but even the bottom of the league can produce some good hockey.

I don't know how the hell they justify their ticket prices though. I found $60 lower level seats ($75 after stubhub fees :-) ), but face value is $110. We got there 10-15 minutes before puck drop and got the bobble head they were handing out to the first 7500 fans.

Rick Nash to the Bruins... interesting looking trade. Gave up Spooner, who's a RFA at the end of the year, and what looks like a cap dump in Beleskey. It's kind of like both sides lost.

Bruins also signed Brian Gionta

Great trade for both teams, IMO. Bruins got the best forward on the market without giving up a vital roster player, and the Rangers got solid assets in return for a guy we don't need who is a UFA at the end of the season.

I don't care much for Nash (obviously)... whenever I've watched him in the playoffs, he's been soft and tentative. Guess we'll see if he makes the Bruins better though.

McDonagh and JT Miller for Namestnikov.

Wingels to the Bruins.

Vanek to the BJs.

Evander Kane to the Sharks.

Stastny to the Jets.

Maroon to the Devils.

Hartman to the Preds.

Remarkably, the Avs are right in the thick of things in the playoff hunt. To say the least, it's been a hell of a lot more fun to watch them this year than I expected. MacKinnon is in pure beast mode right now.
