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.

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.

and the isles

pick 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.

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.

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..

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.

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.

Ron Francis was dealt for a 4th round pick in 2005.

TSN is reporting Curtis Brown to the Sharks for Jeff Jilson.

SportsNET says it's a 3 way deal that also involves Brad Boyes

Boston gets: F Brad Boyes

San Jose gets: C Curtis Brown

Buffalo gets: D Jeff Jillson

Curtis Brown is the replacement for Marco Sturm.

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

Except that it's Aebischer/Salo not the other way around.

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.

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

If they wanted to bring in a a replacement for Aebischer then they would have traded for Kolzig. 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.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
