Weise for Diaz...done deal . http://canadiens.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=703480

Vanek rejects Uniondale . No surprise here .

Vanek rejects Uniondale . No surprise here .

He is going to test the open market to see who will throw the most money at him. I think he'll go to the highest bidder. This is the same guy who signed a seven-year offer sheet from the Oilers. Offensively starved teams like Florida and Calgary will have a lot of cap room next year to spend however they see fit. I've also heard Minnesota as being interested in him.

 

[Hire Sather]

I'll be mad if the Jackets or Flyers get points.

Tough road opponents.

Eh were ahead... just worry about us and keep winning and we should be good

Yep , but I have a feeling that he doesn't want to play for the Piles.

The Jackets maybe but no way the Flyers are getting anything in San Jose tonight. First let's watch Newark lose to Colorado.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Anyone else slightly intrigued by the battle of the basement? Oilers and Sabres. I'm curious who will win.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Is that Cliche from the Avery trade?

 

[Raspewtin]

This Oilers-Sabres game is pretty terrible.

 

[gary laser eyes]

Regulation losses tonight for CLB and PHI please.

 

[aufheben]

This Oilers-Sabres game is pretty terrible.

Great jersey combo though.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Anyone else reluctantly rooting for Pittsburgh? That would be more beneficial to us.

 

[3rdlineglory]

Remember when Nabokov and Visnovsky didn't wanna play for the Islanders?

If we're worried about Ottawa taking a wild card spot from us, then we should be more worried about other things related to the Rangers.

 

[Abooch68]

The devils are so boring to watch.. They don't play to win. They play to not lose..

How can you say that? The whole game has been in the Avs zone. Just because they suck at scoring doesn't mean they don't try to win.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

The Devils with another boring game. 20-15 shots. Par for the course for the team that puts the fewest shots on net in the NHL and allows the fewest. I'd rather watch the 95 Devils at least that team had talent that wasn't 42 years old.

Like Snowblind insinuated...here's all you need to know about the Devils system:

2nd to last in league in Corsi For per 60

By far best in league in Corsi Against per 60

So they are the most effective in preventing shots, but also are poor at generating shots. Vomit.

They spend time in the other team's zone, I'm trying to figure out if they just can't get shots on net, or it's part of the system.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

The Rangers are #5 in the league in difference in Corsi. I really question a stat that has the friggin Kings at #1. Their possession seems to be just to control the puck so that the other team doesn't get it and then put point shots on net.

 

[The Gloaming]

Johnny Malkin still an idiot.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Devils give up the lead with 1:47 left on the clock. Parenteau, it looks like.
