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!

And then I took to Twitter and came across a bunch of alleged Habs fans who have grown up without ever seeing a Stanley Cup parade posting wild takes.  Tweets on tweets about not wanting to make the playoffs because we somehow don't deserve it. Are you kidding me? We didn't make up Corna rules, Corna rules are THE RULES! As if whoever wins the Stanley Cup will need an asterisk.  Every organization is on an even playing field with this thing.  If some players don't want to isolate and follow the rules and organizations have to use A

I'm not going to get sucked into the whole Friday morning 6 points out of a playoff spot, game against the Leafs on a back to back storyline today. No way. I stand by my eulogy of the 19/20 season. I will admit this was awesome: Beautiful classic two pad stack from the great Carey Price pic.twitter.com/piw3ZDA42P — That's Hockey Talk (@ThatsHockeyTalk) February 7, 2020 But I'm still not getting sucked into this. The Canadiens have now won 8 of their last 11 games... — Eric Engels (@EricEngels) February 7, 2020 Nope, don't care, I have already declared this team dead. Carey Price has a .924 save percentage since Dec. 1. Since Jan. 1 it’s .937. — Eric Engels (@EricEngels) February 7, 2020 Okay okay, but if we can't score does it really matter anyway?
