Isn't this supposed to be one of the weakest drafts in years. 1st round pick with Crosby in the draft is worth a hell of a lot more than a 1st round pick when Joe Schmoe is projected to be the top pick.

Plus Carrie will be attending all the home games .. I think the trade was more
to put Carrie in the Bridgestone Arena than Mike...
Actually, I liked Fisher but its a good business deal for the Sens - frees up a
load of cap space, plus he's been injured a lot lately.
Let the rebuilding continue.
Hey dom, Jonesi .. you guys want promising young goalie? I'm sure the Sens
could be persuaded to part with LeClaire .. its a great deal, the guy is well
rested .. hasn't hardly played at all the past few seasons ...

3rd Period Johnson got into it a little bit again. Godard came off the bench to help him out.

Pens Decide to Practice in Central Park, NY
Pens Decide to Practiced in Central Park, NY this morning. Pretty cool idea to keep things fresh and mix it up. 
Bylsma...!! Guess there was an accident and the buses couldn't get through half way there so the team had to take Taxis

What to do?
Haley was a beast in that game. Never heard of him before but looks like he was called up for the game. His 3rd game ever in Isles uniform and first this season. 196 PIM in Bridgeport last season, I think we all know why he was called up and he did his job. Godard did the right thing it's what he gets paid to do. The Pens can afford to be without him for 10 games.

Hope Gillies gets a nice suspension also. Flying elbow to Tangradi then Tangradi turtles b/c he's hurt and Gillies continues to try and pound on him. Then while everyone is at the other end of the rink he sits in the runway talking shit
Trainer lookin at him like dood WTF
0:45 and on crazy bastard

At the end of the game it was pretty hilarious, there were only 2 players left on the Pens bench and 4 on the Islanders.
The coaches and training staff outnumbered the players.
Dude, are you a Wings fan or a Hawks fan, pick a team.

I feel the need...
Black label, your B's laid an egg last night, hope your team shows up tomorrow.
12:30 puck drop. Didn't tell the wifey they switched up earlier so I can sneak a few hands at MGM.

NHL sites Gillies and Martin as deliberate attempts to injury. The NHL says that the Islanders bear the responsibility for not controlling their players. All these rulings come down on a Saturday night too.

Lemieux Speaks
Lemieux:
Not sure it carries the same weight two days later and after the Isles get the fines and suspensions. Pens seemed to get off easy.
“Hockey is a tough, physical game, and it always should be. But what happened Friday night on Long Island wasn’t hockey. It was a travesty. It was painful to watch the game I love turn into a sideshow like that.
“The NHL had a chance to send a clear and strong message that those kinds of actions are unacceptable and embarrassing to the sport. It failed.
“We, as a league, must do a better job of protecting the integrity of the game and the safety of our players. We must make it clear that those kinds of actions will not be tolerated and will be met with meaningful disciplinary action.
“If the events relating to Friday night reflect the state of the league, I need to re-think whether I want to be a part of it.”

They all got exactly what they deserved.
Although Wang doesn't give a shit about 100,000 (he was my old boss)
Me too, Campbell has handed that down before
