One of the most talked about hockey players this season was goaltender, Ray Emery, and, unfortunately, it was usually for all the wrong reasons. The Ottawa Senators were swept (SWEPT!) by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round of this season’s Stanley Cup Playoffs and almost everyone is blaming the “Razor.” I don’t know if […]

The Melrose Line (ESPN) talked about the winners and losers from the trade transactions yesterday.
For “winners,” he obviously talked about Marian Hossa going to the Pittsburgh Penguins, Brad Richards getting picked up by the Dallas Stars and the flurry of activity for the Colorado Avalanche.
Of equal importance are the “losers.” Yikes. Some of these […]

The New Jersey Devils have acquired a decent defenseman with Bryce Salvador and the St. Louis Blues were probably glad to get winger, Cam Janssen in return.
St. Louis is actually Janssen’s hometown so I bet that is pretty cool too.
It’s an okay trade. Not much to say about this one…
