did you see his stellar #s last night? 0 0 0, -1, 1 shot.

He covers the ice and skates well....real good in between the blue lines IMO. He stinks otherwise our trade kicked ass.

1 goal in 10 playoff games. A running tally of 25 points in 57 playoff games, for a sparkling .43 points per game in the playoffs when he averages .73 in the regular season. As the games get bigger, he gets smaller. Nearing microscopic levels.

Conclusion: Gutless puke.

I wonder why Columbus (who gave up a ton for his services,) got rid of him after 39 games.

A new Docism. "Elavatored"

Thats some heavy IQ chatter there. Wow.

there's no denying his greatest attribute - his scoring ability - diminishes greatly when it matters most. i was very interested to see how he would fare in LA - no real pressure - around players, coaches, and managers that he knows well - and it's no different. these playoffs are not over, and he's still playing, but i'd make that trade again every single day of the week.

If LA wins the Cup he's ahead of Quick for Conn Smythe. CASE CLOSED!

or even thrice.

Simon Gagne is cleared for contact! I didn't feel that excited for LA until now!

I hadn't heard that. LA is playing so well right now, they won't change their lineup unless it is necessitated by injury. Then again it's possible Carter could be a healthy scratch.

Montreal gets Scott Gomez
Rangers get Ryan McDonagh

seems fair.

But see I think the big facet of that deal that pushed it in the Rangers' favor was the cap space they cleared...

To get jack johnson and a late first.

Columbus Dispatch reported a tanned young guy with frosted tips was spotted on the Ohio St. Campus in July and August.

Seems like he's a longshot to return this season.
