It makes good sense.
Chara, Krejci, Sobotka, Satan, Sturm vs. Lang, Vrbata, Prucha, Hanzal, Michalek
(not that all will be with the teams next year, but still)
I also read somewhere that Minnesota will play in Finland (Bäckström, Koivu, Miettinen)

Travel: teams do different things when they go to Europe. The league sets it up as the teams tell them to.
Oh BTW...LEAFS SUCK. That is all.

Alex Tanguay signed with the Lightning....just a sarcastic play on an inside joke from another board I visit....Of course Peca retired...even the last 3 years he played he was retired.

He was very good defensive center. I don't think he was "retired" last 3 years, he had minor role in Blue Jacks, just pk and against 1st/2nd lines. Those things (^) depends on team, tactics coach and team-mates, not just player himself. Maybe Sabres was team he likes, they played very defensive years ago.

Anyone has noticed Pechursky's debut? I've just translated an interview with him:

I think he had a real good game. He seems like a promising goalie.

HE played well for the situation he was in. Pechurskiy. However...one thing to note...the Canucks shot an awful lot at his midsection. Salo had a wide open net and even changed his body angle as he was shooting...and pushed it into Pechurskiy's belly.
Pechurskiy is an okay goalie and will be an okay goalie. Will he be a starter in the NHL? I dunno, but he will be okay.

Anyone see Price get run over by Cam Janssen yesterday? Tsn afterwards had a debate about whether goalies who leave the crease should be free to be hit... Was wondering what others thought on this? Having played briefly as a goalie a few years back, I think it should be allowed. Price was a long way out of the paint.
Anyone else?

He's very young. Although he doesn't have Varlamov's-like potential I think he'll be a good NHL starter if the Pens handle him well.

I'm not sure about this one. I agree that the goalie take a chance and take a risk to be hit but a goalie is still a goalie. Maybe if the goalie isn't in is area behind the net, then your autorize to hit him, but not as hard as a foward of defensemen.

Georges Laraque as been liberate by the Canadiens. I'm really surprise of this one, not that Laraque is gone, because he was atrocious during his journey with MTL, but i was more expecting a trade. Though, i'm not sure any teams would want him with the salary he got.
Posted: Thu Jan 21, 2010 5:23 pm

Laracque is useless. Besides he is way to big to be a Hab. And noone else would want him and his bad attitude.

What I find strange is that they will pay his salary this season and buy him out in the summer. why not buy him out right away? Did he even get waived? The fair thing would be to let him go to another team(not that anyone would want him, he does not enforce anymore and can't play, much like Huggy bear in NY)
