The Second-Hottest Man in my ******'s Basement
I wonder if they'll be able to play the Winter Classic tonight or if they'll wait till tomorrow. The only problem with cancelling the whole thing is that they'll give it to Pittsburgh again next year.
Good night nurse!
Lightning2, Rangers 1 in OT
Cedrick Desjardins does it again! this time stopping 34 of 35.
he HAS to stay with us. send Smith to the AHL and keep Cedrick.
according to On The Fly, Tampa has sent prospect Ty Wishart to the Islanders for Dwayne Roloson. Jedi Yzerman must have a plan
maybe Desjardins and Roloson stay with Smith and Ellis sent down/ traded? time will tell

Caps win one hell of a game. Crosby got rocked and Ovi got a goal disallowed.

Hello Sexy girl how your Toes doing?
I must admit I wasn't planning on watching the winter classic, but being addicted to NHL Hockey I couldn't resist not watching it, and I am glad I decided to watch it, that was a hell of a game, IMO nothing is better than watching two great teams who **** each other go @ it like its a playoff game!! The intensity of the game and the Hitting was spectacular!! and nothing warms my heart more then seeing the penguins lose! :elaugh: GREAT GAME!! :glugglug::bowdown::hatsoff:
**** to quote myself, but........it appears Steve accomplished both things. Desjardins gets more time in the minors then can be called up again if he is truly the only option and Roloson brings in veteran rental stability. Desjardins will probably be the future of netminding for the Bolts. I wouldn't bet against too many goalies that are draft picks of Montreal. I wonder who odd man out will be? I don't know the contract details for Smith or Ellis.
Personally I didn't really enjoy the Winter Classic, though I am a bit biased. What ruined it for me was the fact that my Pens lost, the rain seemed to take away from the flow of what I believe would have been an awesome game inside, and it seemed to me that NBC did a pretty shitty job of camera work! Those over head cameras on cables suck in football, and they totally didn't work in hockey!
That aside, I'm REALLY looking forward to the Pens next game on Wednesday against the Bolts!!! That should definitely be one helluva game!

At least we had a good idea of what Desjardins can do and I think he is going to make a good goaltending duo in tampa with Dustin Tokarski one day.
Ellis has one year left and Smith is in his final contract year.
Betteman is a freemason you know! :tinhat:
I think TheBurglar was asking more along the lines of whether Ellis/Smith have one-way or two-way contracts. I am pretty sure they both have one-way contracts, which means the Lightning would have to put them through waivers in order to send them down to the AHL. I doubt that any team in the NHL would pick them up at this point, but you never know.
I am more inclined to believe that Smith will be the odd man out because he has been consistently dreadful all season long (he has only managed to string together two decent starts in a row twice all season), while Ellis has had some stretches of good goaltending (a couple of four-game stretches where he played very well, if not exceptionally well, including one very recently). Also, Smith is still injured, so either way the Lightning will have to go with Ellis as their backup for now.
I will remember forever the impact that Dwayne Roloson had on my Oilers in '06 when we picked him up before the deadline, squeaked in with the eighth seed, and then he stood on his head and turned in one of the most remarkable playoff performances I've ever seen. His performance was worthy of comparisons to Hasek when he took the Sabres to the Stanley Cup Finals. If Roloson hadn't gone down with an injury in Game 1 of the Finals we would've beaten the Hurricanes for sure and he would've won the Conn Smythe Trophy.
Lightning fans should be thrilled with this acquisition. Roloson is a stellar NHL goaltender (and is underrated and unappreciated). The Lightning have some excellent scoring forwards and decent defence. Their depth is still lacking and Simon Gagné needs to turn around his dreadful season, but the Lightning are division leaders and have now filled one of their holes and by far the most gaping one; they are a contender. The Penguins, Flyers, Red Wings, and Canucks are still better teams (and in my opinion, the Bruins and Kings are as well) with much more depth and balance, but Steve Yzerman has been an amazing GM thus far and he can definitely continue to improve the roster should he continue to make brilliant moves like he has been.

And with the Roloson trade, the Capitals are now free to grab Vokoun. Huzzuh.
Sheesh, what a bummer the US/Canada game was eh? I knew Canada was playing a superior game in this tournament. ****. Watch America go home with no hardware now after they lose to the Swedes.
