nice shoutout for petry.

he still makes mistakes, but hes hes come so far since early last year. a different player.
his defensive game, physical play and skating is one of the biggest reasons i can say with a straight face or defence is somewhere closer to mediocre than downright bad.

whitney on the other hand...

In nightclubs yes, or if they break into your home also .

If they are just walking down the street, no, seeing sometimes they get mistaken for some of the local women .

got to think they play 3rd line minutes and/or AV tries to get them out against the Oilers 3rd line. I would see the Lapiere line matching up against Hall/Eberle/Nuge and the Sedins out there against the Gagne line but knowing AV, he won't get the matchup he wants all night.

You will be disapointed. He is not a goon.

I like it. Although with the injuries it's like we have a first line, two third lines and a 4th line.

if gillis already has a trade in place for luongo, why would he feel the need to reach out to mcphee to state his intentions for visiting washington?

Agreed, getting Kesler back will be huge, and then adding Booth will potentially give us 3 scoring lines and a reliable 4th line.

Interesting, I know he's from the Boston area and his personality will fit in just fine.


Edmonton trying to get some more grit with Fistric and now Ference.

All minor stuff though, Rupp isn't exactly going to propell the Wild into the conference lead.

Nothing on Twitter about the Whitney trade.



It sounds reasonable though.

I think Powe's a better player, he's solid on the PK and Rupp isn't much offensively or defensively.

Maybe they (G&G) just happened to be out for a pleasure cruise, at night, in eel infested waters...

Can't find anything on the trade anywhere. That being said, he's a healthy scratch tonight.

Yeah, plus his role is gone now with Schultz there and he's struggled this year. Boston could use a luck moving d-man and he's from there so it makes a lot of sense.
