Pascal Leclaire’s doing pretty good for the Blue Jackets. Maybe I need to fix a few more games in Detroit’s favour.
NHL players testing heated ThermaBlades. Won’t heated blades melt the ice? Hey… you know what? That’s not a bad idea! We could make the National Puddle Hockey League! And we’d find a way to make Sidney Crosby a star in that, too!
Eric Lindros retiring. TO DO: Hire guys to make sure the microphones at his press conference don’t give him another concussion.
New Jersey’s new arena not bringing in many fans. I think it may have something to do with that mugger who always attacks people outside the arena. Oh, hold on a second… never mind, that’s just Cam Janssen.
Move a team to Boston? CON: Too many other sports franchises in the area. PRO: They don’t have a hockey team yet.
Steve Moore wants more than $350,000 from Bertuzzi. TO DO: Convince Moore it’s not worth a legal battle. Canucks’ fans had to watch Bertuzzi blow up on them for years, and they aren’t asking for their money back.
Mark Messier, Scott Stevens, Al MacInnis, and Ron Francis inducted in to the Hall of Fame. Maybe I should exclude those last two. Their initials are two different letters.
TRADES TO APPROVE: See below.
Trade #1: The Vancouver Canucks trade Kevin Bieksa to the Montreal Canadiens for Chicago’s bag of pucks (as acquired in the Samsonov trade).
Trade #2: FOUR-WAY: The St. Louis Blues send Erik Johnson to the L.A. Kings, who send Jack Johnson to the Washington Capitals, who send Brent Johnson to the New York Islanders, who send Aaron Johnson to St. Louis. (TO DO: Consider the sponsorship offer from Johnson & Johnson.)
