I don't exactly know when he will be leaving for Florida.. I don't think that it has been mentioned..

JCpackers05 · 01-13-2008, 03:09 PM

oh i see. all i know is that when he does leave he wont be back until they play tampa.

Devils beat Buffalo in a shootout. AGAIN. hahahah. ugliest game they've played all year. 2 very garbage goals early for buffalo put the devils down 2-0. Buffalo hit the post about a bagillion times but never could put in that 3rd goal. Devils make it 2-1 at end of 2nd. tie it with 1:07 left in 3rd. Parise scored a very smooth goal in the shootout and Elias put it five hole after faking the shot he took and scored on in the previous shootout against Miller. Madden got cut by a skate and left the game. the whole 2nd-3rd i was saying to myself. they have to tie this game, its gotta go to a shootout just like the other two. and it did. i was extremely happy.

Nice. The Canucks just beat the St. Louis Blues in the shootout. Markus Naslund scored and Edler scored in the shootout while Luongo kept the Blues from scoring.

Some news on Curtis Joseph:

Travel NHL Rumors CuJo watch down to two teams
Saturday, Jan 12, 2008 12:37 pm EST

Interest from at least five teams is believed to have been narrowed to two with Curtis Joseph contemplating the resumption of his NHL career with either the San Jose Sharks or Calgary Flames.

Sources told TSN both the Flames and Sharks are keenly interested in bringing the 40-year-old goaltender on board, with Joseph expected to make his decision this weekend.

Sources tell TSN both the Toronto Maple Leafs and New York Rangers have made last minute inquiries into Curtis Joseph's plan to return to the NHL.

New York's Henrik Lundqvist allowed six goals on 18 shots in a 6-2 Rangers loss to Philadelphia on Thursday.

Lundqvist has struggled of late going 2-5-2 in his last nine games after impressively recording six shutouts in his first 29 games.

Toronto's interest may speak to the uncertainty of Vesa Toskala's health, or the potential of a Raycroft trade that would make room for Joseph's veteran presence.

On Friday, sources said Joseph had narrowed the field to two teams, the Calgary Flames and the San Jose Sharks. However, late calls from the two Eastern Conference clubs has slowed the 40 year olds decision as to where he intends to resume his career but he's expected to make his decision in the next two days.

Its believed Flames coach Mike Keenan reached out to Joseph this week to acknowledge the checkered past between he and Joseph was just that, the past.

In the mid-90's, Keenan, as general manager of the St Louis Blues orchestrated a number of big-name trades that led to the departure of such Blues fan favorites as Brendan Shanahan and Curtis Joseph.

Joseph was dealt to Edmonton in 1995, a team who coincidentally expressed great interest in Joseph's return to the Oilers prior to the start of this season as well.

Similar to the Flames, the San Jose Sharks are looking for insurance, a veteran presence to take some of the heat off starting goaltender Evgeni Nabokov, the only NHL goalie to start every game this season.

Sources say Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh and Ottawa also expressed interest in Joseph, with the Senators a highly attractive fit for the veteran. However, sources say the Senators have not been willing to make a play and unless they come in at the last minute, Joseph will be heading west.

Good luck in your game

I play my next game this weekend.

JCpackers05 · 01-16-2008, 07:59 PM

Me and my friend in our computer class found this article that i found to be very good and reasonable. (hes a Ranger fan)
http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/column...ott&id=3196519
really if you think about it, its actually a smart move to try and get rid of Jagr for the Rangers. he clearly is not producing the way he should be, and if they wait till the end of the season, then he'll be a free agent and can just leave the Rangers and they wont get anything for him. I think they should try and trade him. and i think he'd fit well with Vancouver

more news, the veteran goalie Curtis Joseph, Syntax posted about a couple posts above this signed with Calgary

Syntax · 01-17-2008, 04:14 AM

Interesting. Should be interesting to see him start in a game for Calgary.

Devils lost to the Islanders for the 5th of 5 tries against them last night. its really starting to get pathetic. and i think the only reason Bill Guerin went to the Islanders was so that he could be Captain. cause they literally instantly made him captain in the offseason. and oh yeah. i hate bill guerin.

That sucks.

The Canucks lost to the Red Wings tonight. Roberto Luongo made 47 saves while Markus Naslund and Henrik Sedin scored for the Canucks. The game went to a shoot out and it seemed that many of the players shooting for the Canucks blew it. First, Edler decided to take a slap shot instead of doing a deke (sp), Linden shot low and soft, and Pyatt missed the net.

JCpackers05 · 01-18-2008, 08:27 PM

i hate shootouts. im going to the Devils game against Florida tonight. hopefully the Devils can pull off a win and the Penguins will lose for once...

Syntax · 01-19-2008, 07:13 AM

Well, you got that right. The Penguins lost and Crosby is now out indefinitely.

Cpt.McCloud · 01-19-2008, 02:34 PM

Way to many shoot outs.

CantGetAWii · 01-19-2008, 03:30 PM

Leafs have won 2 in a row, after losing several in a row

They won Thursday night in a Shoot Out of all things.

Rumors around the NHL:

Interest in Toronto Maple Leafs captain Mats Sundin may be picking up as two Canadian NHL teams were scouting him recently...

TORONTO SUN: Lance Hornby reports the Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks each had two scouts attending Tuesday's Maple Leafs-Carolina Hurricanes game, and Flames GM Darryl Sutter was assigned a press box seat for Thursday's Maple Leafs-Bruins game in Boston. It's believed the Flames and Canucks were scouting Leafs captain Mats Sundin, although his reluctance to leave the Leafs and the potentially hefty return the Leafs would seek by trading him could prove two significant stumbling blocks.

VANCOUVER PROVINCE: Ben Kuzma yesterday reported it would be worth the shot for the Canucks to try to acquire Sundin, especially if he were willing to re-sign with the Canucks rather than become a mere playoff rental. Kuzma believes the Canucks have the cap room to absorb the remainder of Sundin's salary for this season, speculating GM Dave Nonis would have to part with prospects like Cory Schneider or Luc Bourdon, possibly youngsters like Ryan Kesler or Mason Raymond, plus first and second round picks.

BOSTON GLOBE: Fluto Shinzawa reported Sutter was indeed at Thursday's Bruins-Leafs game, but suggested he might've been there to talk with Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli, with whom he has a previous trade history.

There was also a rumor from Calgary a week or so ago.
Sundin for Tanguay, Lombardi, 2 prospects and 2 draft picks.
