It's a big day for hockey fans. And a big day for me.
I have never had a blog on deadline day before. Today I shall blog throughout the day about various trades and other bullshit that happens.
I am excited. Are you?
---------
First trade that I care about. Pascal Leclaire to Ottawa from Vermette. Good move by Ottawa. Hard to imagine the Sens with a real goalie. Emery was close but a head case. Leclaire is just coming into his own and should be a solid addition.
---
Stupid job. Stoping me from blogging...
Flames pick up Olli Jokinen. Good move on the part of the Flames. They have not had a real centre in a long time.
When the F@*k will the Oil make a move?
-----
Recchi to the Bruins. Decent move. Recchi is a bit of a suit case, but he brings some good veteran leadership to an impressive young team.
Bruins also pick up Steve Montador from the Ducks for someone. I don't know who the player is, but the analysts think he will be good in a few years.
Montado makes a good Bruin. He's a bit small, but tough and a solid 5-6 Dman. Good move by the bears.
----
Flyers get Dan Carcilo for Scottie Upshal. Interesting. Good move on both sides I think. Scottie Upshal will be something down the road.
---
Calgary gets Jordan Leopold for pick and prospect (Ryan Wilson) and some nobody they picked up off waivers the other day.
This is nothing but a win for Calgary.
