If true, that irks me. That should be a 2:00 penalty. Nothing worse than a guy acting hurt to sell a call, then popping up and ready to go to start the PP. I guess I shouldn't be surprised considering the team (and player) involved.

You don't think they need a win tonight? It's not a big enough game? Simple questions.

Man, that had me laughing out loud at work. Yes, I am immature!

Well, you should have.

"Here we go! Take the helmets off and let's dance!"

I don't know, jodcon. I'd rather they keep him and find another way to bring in the 'right pieces'. If it really came down to it I think I could talk myself into being OK with him being traded, as long as they got a haul (Hall) in return, however I don't see that happening. (See what I did there?!) Also, it sounds like Chiarelli has no plans of trading Lucic, which is probably a good thing. I think that once they right the ship as a team and Lucic gets back into form, he could be a big part of a turnaround. The one thing you wonder is with the type of game he plays, how long can he keep it up? Hard miles take their toll - at some point it might be OK to trade him. NHL RUMORS: Boston Bruins; Chiarelli Focused On Vermette But Lucic Staying Put? Also, I completely disagree with Goon. No way do you trade Rask. He is a Vezina winning goalie and for sure he's having a tough go at it lately, but you do not trade Rask. I'm still secretly hoping that the Johnny Boychuck trade was all a nightmare and one day I'm going to wake up and he's still a Bruin.

Randy Carlyle gets fired in Toronto. Check out this video of Phil the Thrill. This kid is a piece of work! http://www.tsn.ca/video/kessel-you-think-it-s-my-fault-1.176130

Roadrunners? Are there roadrunners in ND?

Yeah, it was amusing hearing that explanation. Basically: If a player on the field takes his helmet off, it's an immediate penalty, but if a player who was not on the field goes running onto the field after a play to argue with a referee, it's not an automatic penalty - it's up to the referee's discretion. Makes total sense...got it!

USA vs Canada today at 3:00! It's like Christmas all over again!

A shakeup maybe, but you don't dump Claude for this. Go get Hall or Eberle from Edmonton, or kick the tires on a few of the Blues and dump a few guys on the roster. But getting rid of Julien would be a major mistake.

If Claude gets shown the door, that would be a traveshamockery. No way should he lose his job.

Agreed. The Brady Bunch would chew them up and spit them out.

Agreed!

I feel a Lion King moment coming on!!!

Boston Bruins trade rumors: A Blues forward, you say?

James Neal was fined $2,000 for diving. Check out the video. Amazing...he went down like he was shot by a sniper from the top row! Predators' Neal fined $2,000 for diving/embellishment

I'd take either Hall or Eberle. Problem is, Edmonton is going to want a load in return. A couple of the names I've heard thrown around are Lucic and Hamilton. I'd consider Lucic (depending on what the entire trade looked like) but wouldn't even think about dealing Hamilton.

IHTINB set it up on the tee, and iluvdebbies knocked it out of the park!

Careful what you say, Sicatoka. I really don't think it's that far fetched of an idea, with the pull the gobc has and all. Oh wait...you said sober. Carry on!

Yes, Please!!! If that happened, the B's would then have had both the #1 and #2 picks from the 2010 draft.
