As a Pens fan for the last 2 years (since I got into Ice hockey or "Hockey" as I should say) it's hard to get game coverage in the UK. What little I can get is fantastic and all the social media and apps these days makes it not so hard to follow but still... Watching a game means so much more. The one time I visited the US I was fortunate that a hockey game was on our school's agenda. It was Salt Lake vs Huntsville (hometown) collegiate game.
Never experienced anything like it in my life.
And hey, I managed to snag a signed Malkin jersey too for a decent bargain from a vendor.

Go Pens!

Go pens go!
 
Edmonton trades Perron to the Penguins for a 1st and Rob Klinkhammer. Hate to admit it, but pretty good move for pittsburgh. So after all of their moves they end up with Perron and an ARZ 5th and give a 1st and the Samuelsson kid, which they're already loaded with defense. Pretty solid moves by Rutherford so far
 
Well, All-Star breaks's over, things are gonna start really heating up now. What are your guys thoughts/predictions on the Trade Deadline and who will and won't make the dance?
 
Who will take Phaneuf's cap hit during the season though?

As for who the Sabres will shop, Stafford and Stewart are gone for sure. Hopefully we can find a buyer for Benoit and Meszaros and someone will be willing to take Hodgson (guy needs a change of scenery BADLY).

interested to see how the rangers do without henrik.. wish him the best but don't mind him out if it means one less metro team creeping up on the isles
 
Kane and Bogosian for Myers, Stafford, Armia, Lemieux, and a 1st. Can't say I'm a fan but it's not an awful deal and it should work well for both teams.
 
He doesn't need to get his head on straight, the Jets fucking terribly misused him. Who else could score 30 goals playing with Olli Jokinen 90% of the time?

They played him with Jokinen? Bleh, probably my least favorite player to ever lace up skates. Still even this year he had only 10 goals in 39 games so there's still room to improve for Kane
 
Franson and Santorelli to Nashville for a 1st, a prospect, and Olli Jokinen. Nashville pushing all their chips into the table.....didn't work out in 2012 so it remains to be seen how successful in the playoffs they'll be. Pissed though cause the rangers were looking at Santorelli, but it's whatever
 
I think this is a pretty fair deal, Franson started off as a Pred so they definitely can put trust in him plus his numbers have stayed constant despite being on a declining Leafs squad. Santorelli is another ex-Pred who really has only been doing OK in the past 2 seasons so him for Jokinen who is in what will probably be his final season is a steal for the Preds imo.

They gave up a prospect as well, so it was pretty much the prospect for Santorelli. Jokinen's gonna get flipped at the deadline to someone desperate for veteran depth for a 7th rounder. Also hearing some significant rumors about Kessel to the Islanders. They're one of few teams with the prospects to pull that trade off, so if they do before the playoffs, may as well hand them the cup (and bragging rights....damn)
 
The Leafs are quite laughable, and have been for about a decade. They're trying to jump into the tanking race about 5 months too late.
 
That's true, even if you're not guaranteed McEichel like the Sabres will be, you'll still have a decent lottery ball and at worst, one of those three Tier II guys underneath them.
