That usually gets a place rocking....... The fan experience doesnt matter when a team is winning and playing well. If they are bad, fans need something in the arena to distract them from the on ice play and get them excited.

I'm sure they wont miss those goals, the secondary scorers will pick up the slack I'm sure.

Typo/autocorrect.........

I know, but the joke doesnt work with the 3rd....... maybe if it was a #2?

Yeah, it's a funny deal, it seems like both teams couldnt agree what both players were worth, but determined they were worth each other?

I dont know if I would word it as 'solidifying the deal' as I doubt the Canes were holding off on making it a deal until Buffalo included a 6th, I think it's more of a 'sweetener' where throwing it in is gravy so they can say they got more then Pu for him....

He didnt need to come accross as a team player, he made a request to be able to play somewhere that he would get ice time with. He told the team that if he was going to not have a chance to play, he wanted to be moved somewhere where he would have a chance. He wasnt refusing to play, or holding out, he wanted a chance to play and wasnt getting it.

He wanted to be in Buffalo IF he would continue to get ice time, if he was goi g to get scratched and not play, he would prefer to be moved. This is what he said the other day according to the reports today. They had to move a defenceman after getting Montour, I would assume then that the move wouldnt give more ice time to NB so they moved him for the best offer

Beaulieu allegedly made a request back in January to be traded because of a lack of playing time and being a healthy scratch at the time. But recently, had changed his tune to say he wanted to stay in Buffalo as his top choice IF he continued to get ice time, if not then he would rather go somewhere where he would get to play. So he did at one time request a trade, but recently said he would prefer to stay if he continued to have a chance to play.

Might be a good time to catch the leaves who have fallen in their last few games......

This is a move to make him eligible for the playoffs for them as an emergency backup. Since he was not part of the 40 man roster (iirc) he needs to clear waivers and then can accept the 2 way deal making him eligible.

CLB and OTT should just swap Pannarin for Stone and make the trifecta complete.....

I thought this move was so they would be able to move out Marner or Matthews?

Almost like Colunbus asking if they can use the sens jerseys for the rest of the season......

It's the deadline, they wont be sending over a roster player in a deal, they are loading up for the playoffs. Prospects Nd picks would be the return so it's more likely a ROR return then a Skinner return......

I think they have to put him on waivers in order to sign him at this time? He was signed now for emergency depth. Deadline for a player to sign to be eligible for the playoffs. If something happens to Ullmark or Hutton, he and Wdgewood would be the emergency backups in Buffalo

Yup

Is he looking at this game as an audition?

Like I quoted you earlier, maybe he just needed a bathroom break and didnt want to crap his pants?

Any check if Ray is in his spot? Maybe I was right?

It's the Academy of Hockey day there so they have had a bunch of the coaches and development guys from there on the broadcast.

Maybe he can throw on Skinners Jersey and get on the ice?

Well it is possible he wasnt hurt, maybe he heard a good joke on the ice and couldnt stop laughing and fell over? Or he really needed a bathroom break so he would crap his pants? It just looked to everyone else that he was hurt.....

They play to their opponent. Good games against the leagues top team and now the defending SC champs. The look like crap against teams they should beat like Florida....

But that would hurt Rochester......
