The trade deadline has come and gone, and there were some big deals!
And some big signings of key players to their respective teams that will tighten the race towards the playoffs even more!
I went to the fights and a hockey game broke out.

Apparently not.
I’m glad that the Hurricanes brought Erik Cole back into the fold. He’s a fan favorite whose trade left a ton of people (myself included) scratching their heads in befuddlement. Hopefully we’ll see a return of the BCS line!
Word is he’ll be back with Stall. They really did work well together.
My Jackets picked up Antoine Vermette in a move that can only help us make the playoffs for the first time. Sorry to see Pascal LeClaire go, he’s a class act, but Steve Mason simply is the new franchise goalie for the CBJ.
A good move, IMO.
What is the feeling in Chicago about Samuel Pauhlson (Spelling?) coming tp the Hawks?
I wonder if there was much interest in Clemmenson from other teams. He came up with good results playing in Brodeur’s place, but I gotta be honest with you . . . I covered my eyes a lot while watching him play. LOL.
Not much action on the trade front tonight, as far as big trades are concerned.
Recchi should help Boston, McClaren should be a good fit for Philly, but Calgary really upgraded getting Jokinen and Leopold.
Guerin adds grit. I also like the Chris Kunitz pickup by the Pens. Keeping my fingers crossed that we get to see Sid and Ovechkin go toe to toe for 7 games when it really counts.
STANLEY CUP (& CALDER CUP) IN HERSHEY 3/14/09
(HERSHEY, PA) — Hockey’s most treasured trophies—the Stanley Cup and Calder Cup—will be on display at Giant Center this Saturday, March 14, starting at 6:00 PM. Fans are encouraged to stop by and see both cups, which will be located outside section 115.
In addition, Robert Goodman who oversees the Calder Cup and whom recently wrote a book entitled, “Forged on Ice: Freemasons Within the Hershey Bears and the Hockey Hall of Fame” will also be on site. This book gives the ultimate hockey fans an in depth look at the history of the Hershey Bears and the individuals that built the team both on and off the ice. Goodman’s book also dives into some of the greatest names in hockey who’ve been inducted into the Hall of Fame.
The book is $13.00 per copy and all proceeds go to charities such as The Shrine Hospital, Hershey Historical Society, and the Masonic Charitable Fund. Don’t miss this opportunity to see what every hockey players dreams to have—The Cup.
Are you near by Hershey and are you going to go to the event. Sounds pretty cool...btw, thought Malkin would pull off the win last night on the last shot :). Oh well...at least they got a point
Yes, I’m a season ticket holder. I’ll be taking my camera, so if they come out, I’ll post a picture of me with Lord Stanley’s hardware.
Funny thing is, the Bears are playing the Penguins that night!
My friends know I’m a Pens fan, but I still get razzed when I wear the black and yellow.
We were lucky to get a point last night. Just like old times though - never count ‘em out of it!
