Hockey Trade Rumors

OK. This is my first post on this site. I’ve been reading the posts and adding a few comments but I haven’t gotten too involved. I’ve been reading posts from several different sites and a common occurance that I’ve noticed is that when someone proposes a trade (Phoenix and Philly for example), fans from at least one of the teams jump out and immediately say that that’s a terrible trade. My question is:do they really think about the trade and the factors that are involved, or do they just want to get that coveted player for free?

A CP article yesturday said “Few things are a sure bet these days in the parity-filled NHL but Ottawa beating Toronto is about as safe as it gets.” As much as I believe the Leafs suck, it’s not a sure bet by a long shot.

Here is a list of the most overrated players in the NHL. Before writing this article I did lot’s of research and scaned through all the team rosters in the NHL. So here are the ten: *all the stats are as of December 30th

Everyone knows the Blues have sucked this year, maybe the team wasn’t clicking, maybe they were all underacieving, maybe the coaching was the problem, but whatever the case atleast 6 of the players could find themselves ending the season elsewhere.

Tsn reports the Vancouver Canucks have added depth by claiming Jeff Cowen of waivers from the LA Kings. Cowen has 2 assists in 21 games this year. The 40 yr old has 40 goals 70 points in 325 games.

Yeah i reread what i wrote, even i do not understand half of what i said.

It was Canada’s game, and still is credited with the creation of the sport, but when was the last time a canadian team even won the cup? (92-93) And only 6 times in the last 20 years. Its everyone’s game. I’m not saying american born players are any good, cause we all know that most of them are not. So lets move past this, we all share an interest in the sport of hockey, lets build on that, and not where the game started.

The Colorado Avalanche lost yet another game last night to drop lower in a division thats tighter than any other. In the Northwest Division the teams are all separated by two points if any at all, and the Avs went from first to last in two games.

So that brings me to my questions. What, if anything, should Colorado do with their roster at the impending deadline.

Alright, its only fair that since i was putting down Crosby i should hold AO to the same standards. You be the judge of it.

Alright, well no more sitting back and watching this mess. Something on Broadway needs to change. Which is exactly what Glen Sather better be telling himself.

Something has to happen to change this mess of a team, which 7 games ago was 1st in it’s division and held the 3rd seat in the Eastern Conference. AND now as we hit the halfway point of the season, they are on the outside looking in.

This needs to be settled. I’m tired of all this hype for Sidney Crosby. This post is not to say he isn’t good, but lets take a look at his stats that all you people hold so dear.

Who MIGHT win some award, which team could come were in the Standing, and more.

Don’t worry, I’m not writing the article in pirate. Today I’m going to talk about the trade deadline, some stuff about the Leafs, the Vote for Rory campaign, and more.
