Jagr to Florida for a 2nd and 3rd round pick. A little bit of a steep payment if the Panthers don't make it to the playoffs. And on recent evidence it is the Bruins to lose.

And Toronto got rid of Clarkson!

Jagr is a warrior! how many teams has this guy played for?

All of them. He was the most important player when the Pens beat the Blackhawks in 92!

even more impressive that he's been playing Pro hockey for 24 years?..with no sign of slowing down..

Just got a pass for NHL GameDay to catch all the games.
Never expected the Rangers to be in the place they're in let alone the Flames. I've got a standing bet going between the two and both are a surprise to me. The recent Kings win streak helped put the pressure on, yesterdays loss and hopefully the Ducks will pull it off tonight to start a down trend in LA. It's a mess in the west.
Anyone here from the NY area and has seen the "the mask with Henrik Lundqvist" Episodes? I'm getting mixed information and haven't found them online. Must be a local MSG channel.

Makes me feel old as fuck, in the early 90's I remember an interview with a young Jagr in his car blasting Metallica at the same time my band was covering Metallica and I was in sports. Now I'm out of sports and music while he's still out there hitting the boards. I don't know how he does it.

He's slowed down a lot but one thing he never lost was his genius stick handling. I remember the move he made in '92 finals where he skated through all five Hawks and did this 360 type move to put the puck between Belfour's legs making all six Hawks on the ice at the time look like amateurs.

I believe the Panthers are his 8th NHL team.

FACT: He was playing in the NHL before the Panthers existed. I assume is what you were really going for.

Bruins trade for Brett Connolly.

well.............that was underwhelming.

well.............that was underwhelming.

It is what it is. A bunch of 3rd and 4th liners,and 5th or 6th D, changing homes,as well as expiring contracts being rented to the highest bidder.

Habs' GM Marc Bergevin was asked in his presser "why couldn't you acquire a top 6 forward"? His answer was simple: "how many top 6 forwards did you see traded today"!

Worst deal IMO:

- Bolts giving up a 1st, 3rd, and Radko Gudas for Braydon Coburn. Coburn us barely worth Gudas. MAYBE he's worth Gudas and a 3rd. Not sure where the 1st rounder comes in.

For what it's worth, I thought the Habs stole Jeff Petry, a very serviceable #4 d-man, who can log 20 minutes a night.

I retract this statement as it looks like he broke a finger in practice and will be out 6 weeks.

The Panthers see Brett Connolly's finger and raise you BOTH their goalies!

Ex-Bruin Rob Tallas almost had to go in for them last night, and they called up TWO minor leaguers today!

We're cursed.

Crazy game to watch. Sounds like Lou won't be out for that long. Fingers crossed.

We so had that game against the Leafs until the goaltender fiasco as well.

HAHA! Talk about throwing me back, thanks for that. He's went through a few hair cuts since then.

9-5-3 for the playoffs! Believe.

[Facedown]

Yeah and a first round matchup against the Habs.
I "believe" they'll get their asses handed to them.

And the Isles re-signed Boychuk and he is not yours.


Things are changing for the Isles, now we just need a new coach.

[Zander Kelly]

Spoiler alert: Chicago Blackhawks are going to win the Stanley cup. Even without Kane, they're still the best team in the NHL and he'll be back by the second round of the playoffs if not sooner.

[chungasrevenge]

They're going to be dangerous. Rask is sharp, Seidenberg is back to full strength and Pastrnak and Spooner unleashed with some much needed speed and skill. Screw defense. Krecji will be back in a couple of weeks and then Connelly is the wild card in play mid way through the first round. All they need at this point is Boychuk.

[Facedown]

They lost to the Buffalo Canadiens last night.
Third straight game against the worst team in the league that went to overtime.
Insert fork.

The Hawks are America's team. They have more fans than any other NHL team in North America. Anywhere they play it's amazing how many Hawks fans show up.

It could be tough if they play the Blues in the 1st round without Kane but yeah they could win the Cup again.

Oh how things have changed.

[RATTdrools]

The Wild spanked the Blues today 6-3. Those 2 teams would meet if the playoffs started today but the top of that division is very tight between St.Louis, Nashville, and Chicago. Other tight races around the league too.

These last 10 games or so are going to be great!

Will Julien and Chiarelli be around to enjoy him next year? Tune in on next week's edition of: As The Spoked B Turns

Seriously though,is getting to the playoffs enough, or do the Bruins need to win a round to avoid changes?

I still don't want the Habs to play them in round 1. Even if we win, the series is so emotional it takes a lot to get up for the next one. Give me the Caps, or the Isles, even the Wings!
