Quality first post.

And yeah, have fun defending Rinaldo Bruins fans. Such an admirable psychopath.

I thought Roberts was in Pittsburgh right now.

I'm a bit late with this one, but I figured I'd point this out, now that I've caught up with the thread...

The deal with Roberts has him come down to Pittsburgh for one week each month. He still gets to do his own thing up in Toronto the rest of the time:

Roberts, who hopes to spend at least one week a month in Pittsburgh, will remain in his current role training NHL players, a group that includes former Penguin James Neal and Lightning captain Steven Stamkos.

Naw, they will train in Toronto.

 

[66-30-33]

I miss Roberts.

 

[Asuna]

Hurricanes won't qualify Riley Nash. A bit of a surprise. He'd be a decent 3C when they trade Sutter.

 

[Your Boy Troy]

Wonder if demoting Robins was what got Chiarelli fired

Just stated this in the Bruins' forum: Why the hell would Sweeney trade an asset like a 3rd round draft pick for Zac Rinaldo, when you could sign a similar player in Haley who could be had for free via free agency, and would bring better production as well? What the hell is wrong with the Bruins? This is almost as bad as the Hamilton trade.

 

[Pancakes]

Naw, they will train in Toronto.

Plus if Phil comes to Pittsburgh to train it will be to train at eating lots of Primanti sandwiches, not to lift weights.

That's his weight lifting in the off season.

 

[Waffle Fries]

Naw, they will train in Toronto.

I'd imagine that if a trade happened, Sid would invite him to train with his crew.

 

[BustaKapanen]

Naw, they will train in Toronto.

He was setting that up for a slam dunk reference to kessel opting for the 1 week a month training regimen in cranberry I think

Yeah, I don't understand this. There are plenty of dirtbag idiots that can't play who can be had for free. Rinaldo's the only guy like that on a 1 way deal.

Ha that's what boston gets having that nutjob thomas on the roster.

Tim Thomas is still on the roster?

 

[IcedCapp]

JR just had $200 of the finest PF Changs delicacies delivered to Bruins HQ

 

[Waffle Fries]

Now I guess Dallas deciding to spend 10.4M on goalies is far from the weirdest thing that happened today.

 

[IcedCapp]

By the time we acquire Kessel for a S(pr)ong, no one will care. Hwhatta week, NHL, hwhatta week.

[MtlPenFan]

So what's the new capgeek replacement? Time to take my shot.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Would Kessel survive that?

 

[M0NTY26]

And a couple of weeks after NHL employee Chris Pronger gets traded to Arizona, he gets elected into the HHOF.

This entire situation is soooooo messed up, it's hard to fathom. I wish Bettman still did his thursday show on XM NHL Radio. I'd have a field day asking him about all this bs.

If we are letting players on current rosters enter the HHOF Sid and Geno need to be in the HHOF this year, too, don't ya think?

That tweet absolutely cracked me up, so i figured it would be good entrance for me.

I tip my hat to Sweeney for great offseason amusement, and taking Rinaldo away from Metropolitan.
