2010-2011 NHL season

That first comment was gold, wasn't it?

 

What, trading a guy that's usually the first healthy scratch for an All-Star? What's so unreasonable about that?

 

Yep. David Poile is just chomping at the bit to make that trade. ;D

 

yup. No surprise here. Now I just have to find a new avatar. Never much of a player, but he gave you what he had every night and always more than willing to drop the gloves against anyone, even if it meant he was going to get pounded. Would rather they have kept him and sent JF Jacques down — a soft big body who has never come close to his potential thanks to several back injuries. but now we are splitting hairs over fourth liners on a last place team. C'est la vie.

I just wish they would stop starting Khabibulin.

 

Billy Smith must be laughing. DiPietro takes a cheap shot at Tabot, then skates out to challenge Johnson. Johnson knocks DiP down with half a jab.

edit: think it was Cooke, not Talbot. also a solid stiff left by Johnson, but DiP still went down easier than a $20 hooker.

 

Great story here about Minnesota's Andrew Brunette, an Owen Sound junior grad who reached the 1,000-game plateau last night.

Easily one of the most underrated guys who's ever played in the NHL.

 

Don't see this every day ...

Pittsburgh's Brent Johnson loses his shutout with 16 seconds left to play when he ... skates the length of the ice and delivers a one-punch KO of Rick DiPietro.

 

It was a rough night all around for DiPietro. How cool is this hockey hole-in-one?

And Detroit's Johan Franzen enjoys a five-goal game tonight, the first one in the NHL since Marian Gaborik did it for Minnesota in December 2007.

 

I'm waiting for a clip of the DiPietro/Johnson non-fight

 

Versus has been all over it.

Started when Matt Cooke (hard to believe he was involved, right?) and DiPietro bumped. Stuff broke down and the next thing you know, DiPietro is flat on his back.

 

Here it is!!
