2 Hours To Deadline....Nothing Is Happening As Usual

By -

Trade deadline day peaked with Ryan Smyth crying as he left Edmonton.  I remember Huet being moved in 08, and us keeping Price.  Other than that the deadline day has been a dud.  

 For all the hype deadline day gets, it is nothing.  

 The art of the trade in sports in general has died.  Subban - Weber may be the last great trade that we see in hockey.  Nothing of note is going to happen today.  As of writing this, the best thing that has moved is a couple of first round draft picks, and we don't even know who they will amount to.

 Montreal moving Pleks yesterday was a tad surprising,  considering the Habs traditionally do nothing on deadline day.  

 The is the first year in a long time that I won't be disappointed at the end of deadline day. That is mostly because I don't care.  It would take Pacioretty, Gallagher, or Price moving to make me care.  None of those guys are moving today.

 I'm so ready for July 1.  That's the new and exciting deadline day.  Until then I'm ready for patio season and cheering on the Golden Knights in the playoffs. 

 Can the Olympics come back?   Can we get in on these first round picks flying around?  Cmon!

LOSER Tonight and this afternoon will be an outright cluster&@$^.  I can't even begin to try to calculate who we are going to end up playing in the first round.  If we lose tonight it will be the Leafs, simple as that.  If we win and Boston loses their game to Washington then things will get interesting tomorrow night in the finale game of Ottawa vs Boston.  So basically win for drama and lose to play the Leafs.   My heart says lose and sweep the Leafs out in the first round for what would be revenge for every Saturday night game of my childhood living in Ontario.  My sensible self says win and end up playing an easier team seeded way lower than us.  It is going to be an interesting 40 hours ahead.  Oh, and if we draw the Sens in the first round I'd be all over some tickets, so kinda hoping for that too. Gametime is 7PM on CBC. Go Habs Go!

We are fucked

As my friend AngryHabsFan eluded to already, yesterday was the end of the world as we know it for Sens fans. Matt Cooke's skate caught Karlsson in the Achilles tendon last night on a scuffle in the corner. First off don't even think that this was Matt Cooke being a dirty player and that he did this on purpose. It was just one of those freak plays that happen. No timeline has been given yet for Karlsson's return but I think its safe to say that he won't be back this season. Hopefully he can return from this injury and still be a great player. We already have Michalek playing on robotic knees so hopefully EK can get a hold of Milo's doctor. Speaking of Michalek he also disappeared before the game last night with a mysterious undisclosed injury. No word on what exactly is the extent of his injury yet. So without Spezza, Michalek, Karlsson and Jared Cowen I think its safe to say we are fucked and need to focus on shipping out Gonchar at the deadline and going
