Bedard’s defensive game has come under fire lately. The cat was a minus 44 last season, ouch. No wonder he didn’t make Team Canada.

The Islanders are reportedly shopping Dobson. WTF has happened to Noah?

I’m getting a sense that there is more appetite this year for GM’s to consider moving key pieces - and not the traditional return of prospects and picks, but good old ‘hockey’ trades. Should be a wild trade deadline.
Love the Sport. Love the Team.

Hate the League.

I wonder if there is potential for a Barzal and Pettersson trade. Both clearly need new homes. Barzal makes about $2.5 million less at $9,150,000 per year. I’d do it, but not so sure Lou does it. He’s playing as bad as Pettersson is playing. Trade a problem for a problem. Although we get older by two years in the deal.

With the cap going up, it’s easier to fit contracts, less juggling of money.

Dobson's name has been floated all year. Every now and then a reporter brings it up. I suspect he wants more money or term than the NYI are willing to give.
The only HW the Canucks need

He's far too young for the Islanders
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

"Sometimes I see him continue to try things that aren't gonna work at the NHL level," Biz explained during the intermission of Chicago's loss to Edmonton on Wednesday. "Like soft plays that are just gonna get picked off and go back the other way... There's so many little details to his game that he's lacking right now that—yes he might put up 30, 35 goals a season and get his 50, 55 assists by playing power plays and getting all these minutes—but they're gonna continue to lose hockey games if that's how he's playing. That is pond hockey. That's pond hockey."

Bedard was asked about Biz's comments the next day, saying, "It’s their job to point that out or to say how they feel about something. But if I make a mistake, I know. So, I don’t need to watch a TNT broadcast to figure out if I made a mistake. I’m going to know.
