I was surprised it even happened in the first place
Well, to coincide with the X-Files returning, I'll channel my Mulder-ness and say this: The Oilers went on a "win streak" because the Count sekritly issued a sekrit memo to all the opponents during that timeframe to bend over and take it for the team...because...if Edmonton won another f*cking undeserved #1 overall pick, ALL those teams would be subject to threats of being relocated to Yellowknife, Grand Prairie, Fort McMurray, Whitehorse, Halifax, Regina, and Red Deer.
Looks like the NHL was so upset that John Scott was in the ASG that they apparently pulled strings to have him traded to Montreal. Scott will unlikely play in the ASG.

Kinda a low move by the League.
So fawking lame, if there is any justice in this world Bettman will be the only person watching this game.

I was at first not fan of the gag involved in voting in Scott. But, came to accept it because like Girgens from last year, he was in the game per the system the NHL put in place...So, Scott had every single right to attend and play.
To take him out just bush league. NHL should be ashamed of themselves for such a immature/classless move.
Pens trade Perron and Clendening to Ducks for Hagelin.
Definitely an upgrade, Perron disappointed since coming to Pittsburgh, everyone is acting like Clendening was the throw in, they don't seem to realize that Perron was the throw in

I was disappointed to see him go from the Hawks...think Clendening has some good upside: good puck-mover and not the most polite (i.e. has some toughness).
Clendening was a tough customer for a smaller guy, he's tenacious and adds a lot of grit and skill as far as moving the puck. His problem was he could never get in the lineup. I would have liked to see him play more, especially in front of Lovejoy, that guy is killing us this year.
So, looks like John Scott is back in the ASG...? Good...NHL did the right thing.
The Nhlpa was going to sue. Missing tha game would cost him $90,000 plus a potential cut of 1 million. This is a guy who makes $545,000 a year, for him and the potential length of his career, it's a big chunk of cash.

With twins on the way, at that. On the ice, he's John Scott. But he's a real dude with a finite career.
So...after getting the 12-game streak ended by the Bolts...Hawks getting schooled by the Miami Blackhawks. Ah well, slumps happen. Can't get too high or low in the regular season.
Paille looking good so far, had a nice sog & made a good defensive play.
Paille is a smart hockey player with great speed (Tyler Seguin said Paille was the fastest skater on the B's) and good on the PK. He never had the offensive numbers you'd expect from a first round pick though.
The bruins haven't been the same since we had Thornton, Paille, and Campbell as the "Merlot line".
I like this excerpt:
"Opponents who go to the front are left with the time and space to lay down a blanket and a picnic spread without fear of being disturbed."

He was quite critical of the Rangers' D-corp...Staal, Girardi and etc. Again, that's surprising given how good they've been. Anyhow, the article was eye-opening because I didn't think the Rangers were that terrible.
