For the Leaf Fans- Rumours & Speculation
Today a good friend of mine took me aside and asked me a few questions, most of them referring to the recent trade of Francois Beauchemin to Anaheim. It wasn’t long before it turned into quite the interview.

For a full recap of the St. Louis Blues 4-3 OT loss Sunday to the Tampa Bay Lightning, please check out BlueNoteZone.com. – Just Sayin’… – It’s time to say Alex Pietrangelo is a more effective hockey player than Erik Johnson, today. Statistically they may not be far off, but the difficult to quantify intangibles [...]
A Call to Arms- The fallout of Ricky taking matters into his own hands.
Call To Arms- The fallout of Ricky taking matters into his own hands. It has always been my understanding that there is an unwritten rule in hockey that you defend your goalie with your life and punish those who would seek to intentionally run them. What we have here is a case of either A) [...]
Not So Hot January | Blues vs. Avs Gamenotes | Is Erik Johnson Really Trade Bait?
January’s Missed Opportunity The month of January is proving to be a new low point for the St. Louis Blues. After a successful battle through a depth deprived December, the Blues looked forward to a big opportunity in the new year. Roman Polak was back. Long term injuries to key forwards could clear up. The [...]
Questioning The Cornerstone? | Major Injury Update & Trade Ramifications | Claim Nabakov?
Just Saying… Erik Johnson Some days Erik Johnson just can’t win for losing. In the Blues 4-3 OT loss to the Evil Empire the brain vapor miscues began and ended with the top pick in 2006 Patrick Eaves game opening goal came on a quick feed by Henrik Zetterberg from the far wall to the [...]
Gameday Notes: Blues Hope to Jump on Down Red Wings | Nabakov Connection?
The St. Louis Blues (22-17-6, 50 points) and Detroit Red Wings (28-12-6, 62 points) meet for their fourth of six matchups this season.

Oshie’s Return Sparks 2-1 Win Over LA | McDonald Skates | Trade Rumor Variables
What A Difference An Oshie Makes There is no “I” in “Team”, but there is a “me”. Meaning it takes individuals knowing their job and executing plays within their role. Not taking on the opponent like a counter productive one man show. Last night’s 2-1 St. Louis Blues victory over the Los Angeles Kings is [...]
Dangerous Trends as Blues Lose 6-5 to Leafs
Losing a pair of games in the wake of a five game winning streak may hardly cause a ripple with some. For the St. Louis Blues however, it’s a warning sign. Not the red hexagaon with “HALAK” in white letters. It’s one of those on-ramp signs to the interstate saying “Wrong Way”. There should be [...]

In a season that’s already seen Brayden Schenn make stops in LA (NHL), Manchester (AHL) and Brandon (WHL) – the rumors have picked up dramatically regarding his future destination. Will he be traded this weekend – and if so, to where? We break down the most likely scenarios.
Breaking Down Flames Trade Bait
I’ve put the hood on. The axe is sharpened and I’m without mercy. If the Flames blow it up, and the speculation would infer they are going to, who stays and who goes? Position by position I’ll break it down and you tell me if your team could use a cast off, if they can e-mail Jay Feaster, not Sutter.
The Seven Stages Of Realizing My Team Are Losers
They are losers. The 2011 Flames are losers. Say it once, exhale and accept it. Be aware that I am not “Jumping off the Bandwagon” I am simply looking at the stats and accepting what is put in front of me. I asked Oiler Fans to do it last year and admittedly am reaping what I have sown.
This took me a while to get here. I had to go through the levels of grief to achieve this understanding. I will now take you through the process:
Could waivers be a friend to Ottawa?
So we’ve all heard that Evgeni “Nabby” Nabokov has been released out of his $24 million dollar contract with SKA St. Petersburg of the KHL citing “family reasons” So why not suspect that Nabby wants a return to the NHL? The Tampa Bay Lighting need some help in goal. Dan Ellis and Matty Smith haven’t really shown to be [...]

Let’s Talk Senator’s Rumors
It seems like every week there’s something new popping up about the Senators. Considering Ottawa’s less then stellar play the more they show. Here is my take at what’s being talked about recently. Well let’s take a look at some rumors: The idea of Kevin Bieska being traded to the Senators. Bruce Garrioch of the [...]
Where’s the pizza?
Ottawa has hit a new low. 178 minutes of not scoring a goal, wow I’m just surprised and embarrassed to call myself a Sens fan. A team that has scoring talent (Spezza,Alfredsson,Kovalev,Fisher andMichalek) should be able to at least score one goal during 178 minutes span. But alas the Senators lost in the shootout(hooray for toronto point) [...]
St. Louis Blues and Buffalo Sabres Talking Trade?
Take it with a gain of salt, but NHL rumor peddler extraordinaire Eklund made mention of trade discussions between the St. Louis Blues and Buffalo Sabres. Is there any truth to the assertion? Possibly. Folks like Ek are just throwing out “what they hear”. Anything is possible, but is there logic to these two sides [...]
