Fred Derf Veteran Posted March 9, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 9, 2004 If you plan to get your news online (as opposed to TV, the newspaper or radio) but you get your news from one of the above sources then click that source. i.e. If you get your updates from the ESPN website (as opposed to watching the ESPN TV channel) then click ESPN. It's good for both. You can also justify your decision here. I personally plan to flip from SportsNet to TSN to see who has the better people but my preference will probably be SportsNET.

-Clark- Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 I check both TSN and ESPN sites for updates, I don't watch tv other than for watching games, so the net is the source of all my news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Derf Veteran Posted March 9, 2004 Author Veteran Share Posted March 9, 2004 The Colorado Avalanche have traded defenceman Derek Morris to the Phoenix Coyotes in return for centre Chris Gratton and defenceman Ossi Vaananen This doesn't make much sense for Phoenix unless they think they can reflip Derek Morris by 3pm.

Fred Derf Veteran Posted March 9, 2004 Author Veteran Share Posted March 9, 2004 and the islespick up Steve Webb from Pittsburgh!.. I sure missed that guy. :D STEVE WEBB!!! :D It's purely a depth aquisition. He's got no points in limited action in the NHL this season. He was effective against the Leafs during their last playoff tilt. Then again, it doesn't take much to get Darcy Tucker off his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Derf Veteran Posted March 9, 2004 Author Veteran Share Posted March 9, 2004 The Colorado Avalanche acquired goaltender Tommy Salo and a sixth-round draft pick in 2004 from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for defenseman Tom Gilbert. Did Colorado fail to land Olie The Goalie or is this the move they wanted to make? Olaf Kolzig would have made the starting goalie situation confusing while Salo (in spite of his past performance and playoff experience) is clearly a backup aquisition.

Fred Derf Veteran Posted March 9, 2004 Author Veteran Share Posted March 9, 2004 Ha. TSN has a trade deadline countdown in the lower left corner. 5 hours and 1 minutes to go (not including seconds). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmatik Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 How come the NHL trade deadline is 70+ games into the season? Another reason why the regular NHL season is the absolute worst when it comes to fan involvement and excitement. Now that Marco Sturm is out for the season...blaaahh. Does anyone know if the Sharks have any moves on the table? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Derf Veteran Posted March 9, 2004 Author Veteran Share Posted March 9, 2004 How come the NHL trade deadline is 70+ games into the season? Another reason why the regular NHL season is the absolute worst when it comes to fan involvement and excitement. Now that Marco Sturm is out for the season...blaaahh. Does anyone know if the Sharks have any moves on the table? 90% of the teams have played less than 70 games but I get your point. Each team only has 11-15 games left. The trade deadline allows a team to bulk up for the playoffs or plan for next year. If you follow a team that is having a poor season then at least this allows you to only suffer the last dozen games in absolute misery. For teams that are doing well and plan to go deep into the playoffs, well then with 7 games series and up to four playoff levels to go, there is lots of hockey left. After all the last puck drops in June. The most exciting thing happening in San Jose so far was Jason Marshall a few days ago. If you can call it that. Sharks are leading their division at the moment so I'd expect them aquire somebody to fill Sturm's skates.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Derf Veteran Posted March 9, 2004 Author Veteran Share Posted March 9, 2004 Leafs sign Calle Johansson (D) out of retirement. Now there's talk that Toronto may have to send a scout to Washington as compensation (Calle Johansson had been scouting for the Caps). Toronto also signed Chad Kilger off waivers. Be's a big centreman that plays soft. It's a depth acquisition and he isn't expected to get much ice time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Derf Veteran Posted March 9, 2004 Author Veteran Share Posted March 9, 2004 (edited) I see Ron Francis ? signing with Toronto for about a 6th round pick going back to Carolina. He reportedly has waived his no trade clause. The deal is confirmed. I don't know what is going back to Carolina yet.

bayrider Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Colorado is going to be a powerhouse in the playoffs. Hopefully Forsberg is back and Salo/Aebischer can provide good goaltending Good riddance to Chad Kilger... what a waste of space he was for Montreal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect to see Chad Kilger to get much ice time at all. We have so many fragile veterans than we might need some warm bodies after a long run.

bayrider Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 we'll see, Aebischer has minimal playoff experience, but as seen before in goalies like Theodore, Giguere and Fernandez they can come up big in these situations but either way, Juggling between Salo and Aebishcer isnt as bad as Aebischer/Sauve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acquiring Salo says to me that we have confidence in Aebischer and we intend to go with him as our #1. Salo is simply a replacement for Sauve. Salo was about to lose his #1 status in Edmonton anyway now that Ty Conklin has pronounced himself healthy again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
