i cant believe the jets actually think they are good. they blew it against philly, almost blew it against the lightning and they are one point ahead of FLA and FLA has FOUR games in hand... winnipeg will be in like 12th by the end of the weekend. and to think they might actually be buyers lol.

watch them some how make the playoffs. if they get in as the 8th seed that would be the rangers worst nightmare. they play bad against the bolts
- boltsfan48

Playing a team with Roloson and Garon as there goaltenders is a worst nightmare?

I think Saturday needs to be the best game of the year, or 4-5 guys get shipped between then and Monday.

Not for Carter. If it were for Getzlaf I'd do it in a second...

Boyce and Rosehill on waivers :D

Did Burke start crying again because there is no longer a place in the NHL for a guy like Rosehill?

Our defense isn't sexy but that are great at what they do. Just check the numbers.

It's not all Quick either.. as Matt Barry used to call quick "softee" all the time.. our D would bail out Quick a lot.

Our D is a lot better than you give it credit for.

Our offense is what sucks, not our defense.

- StayTunedMTC


Firstly they were decent with Johnson but he was your second best defender you know have to replace 22:00min a night of Johnson between Scuderi, Mitchell and Voynov, that's borderline suicide. Not to mention if one of them gets hurt and then you are throwing Mike Greene out there for 20+ min a night.

The Kings need defensive help (especially solid depth guys with upside, you know like Schenn) and scoring. The Leafs are a great match.

Dude, O-G... you have no clue what you're saying right now, do you?

Toronto fans never overvalue their players.. NEVER!

You just don't understand hockey at all.

- StayTunedMTC


Every single fan overvalues their teams players... you sound like just as much of a joke to the other 29 teams as we do

...and Sutter post game. Both guys were pretty chocked. That's the most blatant I have ever seen Feaster. He would never have said that poop if he didn't mean it. He new damn well tat would be played over and over on all the sports outlets.

Awesome stuff.

Everyone in LA has the utmost respect and admiration for Dustin Brown, and while I realize it's more fun to speculate on locker room conflicts, the real reason Brown is suddenly in play is money; the Kings just took on a big long term deal in Carter, and moving Brown's deal will allow the Kings to retain some flexibility going forward in rebuilding the roster.

Regarding Brown: he has certainly come a long way from the shy kid who was harrassed by Sean Avery when he came up to becoming a solid 2nd-3rd line winger and captain of a playoff team; but anyone who has watched the Kings sleepwalk through this season can't help but notice the failure of leadership, from the front office down to the ice. Much like a previous Kings captain. Mattias Norstom, everyone likes Brownie; but that doesn't get guys to drive to the net and get the tough goals when they are needed. When Ryan Smythe left this year, Brown became the leader up front, and the results speak for themselves.

Now it's time for a shock to the system, and maybe seeing "core" guys like Brown and Johnson shipped off will light an "accountability" fire under some guys (lookin; at you, Anze !!!), and the team will respond more to Richards leadership. Not that we have a choice; with those contracts, it's Philly West or bust.

Even if he does, I don't see any huge moves coming... Sarich, Hannan, Comeau, Moss, maybe Babchuk if anyone wants him...

Doesn't really change the team up much.
