Just ordered my custom Bauer IMS 11 helmet and visor.....going to play stick and puck for the first time next Thursday. Hopefully I pick up where I left off.

Canes lost vs the Habs the other night but they've been in good form recently. Hopefully that continues. Anton Khudobin is solid at making saves, but he spills too many rebounds. Jay Harrison has been weak in the last few matches but our attack looks sharp and we're getting lots of shots on goal....maybe Muller knows what he's doing after all.

...now I've just got to come up with a decent original goal celebration

It'll be interesting to see if they end up dealing Cam Ward and what they can get for him if they decide to go that route.

Jeff Skinner is coming along nicely too.

The Canes have a great minor league system! I was talking with my friend about Ward and if we should trade him. Khudobin is awesome but he gives up loads of rebounds. I would not mind swapping Ward for Miller, but I think Peters should be the one dealt. Ward can still get hot for the playoffs.

Yeah Ottawa was great in the 2000's very strong.

Cam's a vet but I think they're paying him $7 million a year. If they can get good value for him and free up some cap space for free agency it might be worth the gamble.

I'm not opposed to that. We need some help on D and I think we can challenge. The Gleason for Miles deal has been great!

You see Edmonton/San Jose the other day? Scrivens set the post-expansion shutout record at 59 saves. He was unreal, especially against a team like San Jose.

Karlsson's back on top of the defenseman scoring race with 51 points in 54 games, too. And the Turris/Ryan/MacCarthur line is on fire, so Sens fans have something to be thankful for.

As bad as the Daigle draft pick was, picking Karlsson 15th overall was an amazing pick. In hindsight, he should have went 2nd overall after Stamkos.

Wow, that's very impressive. And you're right SJ have some top rate goal scorers.


Carolina have very good youth on their team: Justin Faulk 21, Elias Lindholm 19, Jeff Skinner (obviously...such a talent and only 21), Ryan Murphy 20 (who reminds me a little bit of Paul Coffey), Jared Staal 22 or somewhere around there.
