Whitney to Anaheim for Kunitz and a prospect. Hmm, didn't see that coming. Seems like they should have gotten a lot more for an offensive D at a reasonable contract for the next 4 years ($4 mill per year I belive).

I wonder if they traded for Whitney to bolster their playoff aspirations, and preparing for when/if Niedermeyer retires or as a pre-cursor to trading Pronger?

Less than a week for the trading deadline is over (5days: 21hrs: 23minutes: 50seconds according to TSN's countdown ticker) anyone else excited? I used to skip school to watch it, but I don't think I can this year.....damn you school! I'll be online here though for most of the day, if anyone else will be on.

16 hrs to go.......anyone else as excited as me?

No, this is a boring season. When everyone knows who is going to win the Cup...well, it reduces the drama. 

Wait, you were the Detroit fan correct?

 ...yes!

Did they say anything more about Hossa's neck?

The CT scan and all other tests werfe negative, so that is welcome news. I heard and read that he is likely to return soon. 

That's good. You don't ever want to see a player get seriously injured. Hopefully all he has is just a stiff neck for a few days.

yes Canucks signed my favorite player to a 4 year 8 million dollar deal, way to go Burrows

Yeah dude. 4 years, and at a great price too. One of our best penalty killers, and now suddenly a goal scoring phenom!
