I'm in a terrible mood today and reading another "Crosby is skating, but no return date is set" story is just another thing to piss me off today. I'm a freaking Penguins fan and I'm sick and tired of that report. I don't care about Crosby this season. His status, or lack there of, is really old and worn out. Talk about anything else, any one else, but for the love of God stop updating that there is no damn update. I'm actually starting to feel the level of hate that Flyer fans must have for him. Sh*t or get off the pot, bumhole. Go nurse your concussion and give the Pens some cap flexibility to make a trade, or get your stupid mustache on the ice.

Maybe all of Crosby's teammates are delirious from laughter from watching Crosby skate in aimless little circles off in his own corner of the ice somewhere.Hilarious!

Wide Right, 4 straight super bowls, Bret Hull in the crease, that's what I find funny

Worse than this, it sounds like top prospect Kuznetsov (playing in the KHL) might have a serious knee injury.

Really? Calm down, bcak away from computer. Go for a walk. Relax, try a different approach like, well just be patient for one thing.

The net gain/loss for the Jackets on that whole situation was giving away Sean Couturier, Voracek, Nick Cousins, and Carter himself for JJ and a 1st. Not exactly a successful venture, but I do give credit for them recovering anything from Carter, who has been a malcontent baby with CBJ with a never ending contract. Howson was in a tough spot and got something, he could have done much worse.

And it looks like that culture change is going to come at the expense of LA trading Brown, what a mistake. Short term ambitions have clouded Lombardi's long term clarity. He is on the hot seat, so he doesn't care.

maybe LA will be looking to get another D man in exchange for brown...Martin plus some for brown? at a 3.1 mil cap hit, thats a steal for a player like him

Not reading the 'updates' would also help in your matter as well

Is Carter really worth JJ and a 1st? Thought that was a lil steep.

Not sure why the Blues would trade Oshie, but if we can get rid of a certain heavy contract on D, why not.

Carter.... A guy that we've repeatedly watched come up small at big moments. Also seems to have some injury problems, plus getting back together with his party buddy from Philly... What could possibly go wrong in LA?

this is a trainwreck that will be fun to watch unfold. Feel bad for Kopitar tho, he is great player, and Scuds too, you wonder what he must be thinking.

Well if Shero locks up the team they have now for a few years what would the first really mean if you gave it up for a guy like brown who is young and has the ability to score? I guess what i'm saying is yes I would for a guy like Brown.

I like Oshie, but theres no way hes getting moved. The Blues are a legit contender. How does movin him help? Dustin Brown will require to much to obtain.

I wouldn't think twice about that deal. Maybe somethings going on with LA since they traded Johnson. Maybe there willing to take a veteran d-man like Martin and his 5 mil contract, but I have no idea what their cap situation is like.

I would say no-way is Brown coming here for that package, but I remember last year when someone suggested we get James Neal for Goli.... Then it happened. Had to take back my nasty "crack" comment. Plus Shero got Nisk thrown in too.

Stranger things have happened....

maybe a martin, t.k and a first for brown plus another to dump cap space. but i do think that LA is around 2-3mil below the max cap

Yeah, the Pens-Stars deal from last year makes me hesitant to dismiss any deal no matter how unlikely/lopsided it might seem.

Do you think a Carter is worth Johnson and a first? I sure in hell wouldnt do that. I don't know much about Johnson but it seems like he's pretty decent but him and a first for Carter? Anythings possible.

Trading Brown for Martin, Tangradi, and a first is awful. Lets try to be realistic.
