By Sill ⋅ March 10, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s been almost two weeks since the trading deadline. The biggest trade of the day involved Ryan Smyth who was previously on the Edmonton Oilers and the New York Islanders.
Ryan Smyth was what most people considered the “heart and soul” of the Oilers. Every game he played, and still plays for that matter, […]

Messier Jersey Retired - Free hockey tickets!

By Sill ⋅ February 28, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Last night was the retirement of the Edmonton Oilers number 11 for Mark Messier. Which officially means that I will never play for the Oilers or Rangers (being a number 11 myself). The last two-three days have been Messier days in Edmonton with a Road being renamed after him and now […]

Trading deadline busy

By Sill ⋅ February 27, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Unlike the NBA’s trading deadline the NHL’s trading deadline was busy with a capital B. As usual teams are trading players who are in the last year of a contract. While teams are picking these players up usually for a draft pick, or two, or in Keith Tkachuk’s case umm, lots of […]

Long live the hype

By Sill ⋅ February 25, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

As is usually the case when a brawl ensued in the last game. The next game between the two hockey teams rarely lives up to the hype. Although, this game had lots of hitting and goal scoring what everyone came to watch only happened once when McGratton fought Peters. Either […]

Tonight there are 10 games going on in the NHL. But the game everyone is going to be waiting for is the Buffalo Sabres at the Ottawa Senators. But, fighting in hockey is definitely not what people want to watch. Or is it?

Anson Carter given away

By Sill ⋅ February 23, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Anson Carter from the Columbus Blue Jackets was traded today to the Carolina Hurricanes for a 5th round pick. Yes, 5th round pick. This makes Anson’s 8th (or 9th) team that’s he’s played on, never a good thing.
Man, that’s gotta hurt being traded for a 5th round pick. It’s basically […]
