Don't look now but the Sens swept California! Five in a row all told and starting to crawl back into the wild card race. They're still 7 points behind Boston, but they have 2 games in hand. Of course, there's also the matter of having to climb over the Flyers and the Panthers before they can catch the Bruins. Oh well, it's better than watching Connor McDavid highlights. (What a phenomenal talent!)
Think of a book as a vase, and a movie as the stained-glass window that the filmmaker has made out of the pieces after hes smashed it with a hammer.

It would be easier to accomplish if there weren't any 3-point games. Right now it's looking like 7 of the 8 spots in the East are taken. The last spot should go to Boston. I would be very surprised to see any other team knock them out of the playoffs, though I'm hoping it occurs. You will recall when the season was still young I predicted that the Bruins would not be the powerhouse they once were. I did not expect them to slip this far though.

Flyers finally score against, and then beat the Rangers.

We had to lose sometime!

WOAH!! Huge trade between Rangers/Arizona! Keith Yandle comes to NY for John Moore, Anthony Duclair (this one kills me...kids gonna be a star) a 1st and a pick. We needed a D man to solidify the 6 so there ya go!

Hopefully Yandle can find his game again. He's been pretty terrible this year. Lots of giveaways and less offence than in past years.
Agreed about Duclair. He was tremendous in the Worlds this year. A big hitter and a nose for the net.

Yeah my thoughts as well. Yandle does have 41 pts though. Rangers have 5 solid defensemen for him to be paired with. Hopefully this is the spark he needs.

If the Rangers had just re-signed Stralman instead of Boyle they wouldn't have had to make this trade at all and still have Duclair. Kid's got a lotta upside at 19.
Maybe a loss to the lowly Flyers was a wake-up call.

Wow, Sather's been busy tonight! Stempniak to Winnipeg for Carl Klingberg and just now I read we got James Sheppard from SJ for a 4th. I like Sheppard...tough kid who can chip in on the bottom lines. Don't know much about Klingberg other than he's a frustrating forechecker.

LOL! Brilliant.
Rangers been busy indeed! I'm wondering if the Habs will make a move today.

I already have my answer. Habs acquire Jeff Petry from Edmonton for a 2nd and 5th. One of the things on Bergevin's list was a big defenseman that shoots right. I like this move.

Wait until you see him play.Originally Posted by Yves
Seriously though, Petry is a solid blueliner who should do fine with the Habs.
I did read where the 5th is a conditional. If the Habs make it through 2 series, that 5th becomes a 3rd.
We played Edmonton a few weeks back and I recall he was a pretty solid checker. Habs were hoping some of their young prospects could step up but guys like Tinordi just can't seem to make the jump into the NHL.

Habs pick up Flynn from Sabres for a 5th(?) rounder in 2016. I don't know anything about this guy. I'm guessing he's a 4th line guy?

Only 75 minutes left to unload Phaneuf!

That's pretty clever!
Did you notice a Leaf jersey come flying onto the ice in Montreal on Saturday?

Yeah, I saw that. I just assumed it was a Habs fan.

Habs fans can't really be bothered with the woes of the Leafs. You've fallen completely off our radar. Now if the Bruins were to have a similar dry run...
