- While he hasn't officially declared it, retirement seems all but sure for Blake Geoffrion. It sucks that such a freak accident would cause this, but it's the right thing for him health-wise.
- Frank Selke Jr. died earlier this week. Our condolences go out to the Selke family.
- David Desharnias and Francis Bouillon both got contract extensions. Both deals are good too. I'm a big Bouillon fan, while Desharnias has been a good piece for the team.
- Jeff Halpern was claimed off waivers. Excellent.
I don't think it should have counted, Staal didn't call the bank shot. There would be a great Gomez joke here, but he already scored twice this season.
This was Brodeur's three career goal and the second time a goalie has scored (or got credited for a goal) on the powerplay.
Suspensions
Eric Selleck - Who? Anyway it seemed fair to tact on another game (I didn't realized that legal line change rule until the video).
Joffrey Lupul - 2 games is fair.
Alex Edler - 2 games for THAT? Should have only been 2 minutes.
Not Rick Nash - Embarrassed it wasn't even a hearing, should have been a game (or fine at least).
Trades
To New Jersey: Matt D'Agostini, Conditional 7th round (2015)
To St. Louis: Conditional 4th round (2015)
Trade Analysis: A lot of conditions on this deal. At least D'Agostini will get playing time.
To Pittsburgh: Brenden Morrow, 3rd round (2013)
To Dallas: Joe Morrow, 5th round (2013)
Trade Analysis: The upside is that we can call this the Morrow trade.
And finally...
To Pittsburgh: Zack Boychuk
To Nashville: Zack Boychuk
To Carolina: Zack Boychuk
To AHL: Zack Boychuk
