I actually don't believe that they will trade Nash, but they really should. Columbus needs to move everyone and start from scratch. Nash will be 30 when the players they pick this year start turning into NHL regulars. They need to move Nash, Carter, and everyone else, and hopefully get a goalie prospect in return somewhere. I don't trust Scott Howson to do the right thing, and even if he did, I don't trust him to get good value back.

Sounds like Rick Nash is available now. How badly will Scott Howson fuck up this deal if a trade actually happens?

Anyone getting the Vita?

I signed up to get tickets to the Winter Classic. If I get them, I'll put away some bucks and have an awesome hockey adventure!

Lupul's goal from last night was cool. Grabbed the puck out of the air, put it down to his stick, then fired it home.

Go Leafs Go!

Thats pretty funny. With Columbus, I was unsure how to start, so I switched to Calgary. I'd probably have moved Carter, Huselius, Umberger and Wisniewski, and tried to bring in some younger defencemen like a Bogosian, E. Johnson, or Pietrangelo.

Started a new game as Calgary, seeing if I can keep the team competitive while trading most of the big contracts away. I can't remember exactly what my trades were, but I moved out Iggy, Tanguay, Jokinen, Stajan, Bourque, Stempniak and Bouwmeester plus my first round pick in 2012, and I added Pietrangelo, Berglund, Bobby Ryan, Jordan Staal, Bergfors, and Bryan Bickell. I think I am forgetting someone. My line up looks like... Backlund / Staal / Ryan Glencross / Berglund / Bergfors Bickell / Morrison / Comeau Ivanans / Moss / Jackman Pietrangelo / Hannan Butler / Giordano Sarich / Babchuk Kipprusoff / Karlsson So far I am 5-1. Kipper has played out of his mind, but I've gotten good production from my top two lines. Backlund has surprised, and Pietrangelo is playing at a point per game pace. I also have a ton of cap space after the season with Hannan, Sarich, Babchuk, Morrison and more all becoming UFAs. I almost want to skip to the end of the season to see how much younger and better I can make this team.

I was playing as a Nord with sword and shield, but had a hard time getting interested. Now I am a sneaky Wood Elf, and I am enjoying the game more.

The Leafs need to put up points in their next five if they are serious about making a run at the playoffs. Each game is against an opponent that the Leafs should be able to beat, including the Islanders and a struggling Montreal. Hopefully, they go 4 of 5. Out of all the trade rumours, I think the one that would help the Leafs the most would be to add a solid veteran defenceman to eat up minutes and play on the penalty kill. Outside of Phaneuf and Gunnarson, we have no one who can relied upon to play big minutes and just shut down the opponents. Schenn is still to raw and makes mistakes, Komisarek is too slow, and Gardiner and Franson are more offensive. Tim Gleason on Carolina comes to mind.

It would be just like being an indy wrestler, where you are working less for the money and more to build up your reputation or, in the case of an MMA fighter, your record.

I am mostly a sports gamer, so I dont need any giant leap forward.

Great effort tonight. Kessel has scored a lot of his goals by just finding that room in front and tipping it in or one timing the puck. Grabbo had a hell of a game, and Gustavvson seems to be playing more to his strengths. If Phaneuf misses time, we will be in trouble.

I like the Leafs being perfect on the PK tonight and beating Tampa. There is not a big margin of error here for the Leafs, so they need to pick up the two points againsts teams like Tampa that are going to be battling for the 6-8 spots.

I think Love, Actually has a great cast as well. That is a fun movie.

I am not excited about the WJC this year. Usually I am pumped!

I use any team. Usually Ill try to play as a rival. If you pick Toronto, I will be Ottawa or Montreal.

Injuries aside, I think Dice-K was a good investment. He did help them win a World Series.

I was plaing a VS game online. I was using Tampa and I scored 2 of my 4 goals with the one timer. My opponents messages me saying I am a faggit who sucks nd only uses the one-timer. I decided to only look for one-timers from that point on and score 4 more times in the third period. All by one-timer.

They need to fire the GM. If that team didn't have Price, they would be in an even worse spot. Signing Erik Cole and trading for Kaberle are not the answers.

NHL 95 is excellent!

Its been all over sports radio, but I don't think its official yet. http://wap.sportsnet.ca/baseball/2011/12/16/darvish_roundup/

Me too. It's already a fun team to watch, and tickets are affordable. I plan on going to at least two games next season. Ill triple that if they get Fielder.

That would suck.

Damn. Seeing Arnold at the end was awesome!
