NHL Network...NHL has now gotten into Detroit's water lead situation, Bill Daly Deputy Commissioner and chief legal officer of the National Hockey League in an email yesterday is urging all teams that have played in Detroit since the news broke about Detroit's water being contaminated with lead to have the players tested for lead poisoning. Daly also says in the email that "we know the players have drunk the water, there are waterbottles on the bench, the water bottles on the top of the nets that the goalies drink out of and we also know that players have showered in it"

Why in the **** would you post something this stupid?

Hurray the NHL is afraid to piss off the fans and therefore let AHL talent headline their All Star game. Way to water down the product. Nobody wants to see Scott play ice hockey. Especially in the NHL All Star game.

What I don't understand is why Scott isn't bowing out on his own accord.

have some respect for the game.

I googled it and got a hit.

The way I see it is some jackalopes wanted to make a funny at Scott's expense. It's pretty low. On the other hand, Scott took it in stride and decided to run with it. It was pretty low for the NHL, the Coyotes and the Habs to collude like that and humiliate the guy and his family. Scott's a crummy player but I always heard he was a stand-up guy.

Recall when this happened to another former Sabre, Rory Fitzpatrick. IIRC, he was leading the polls when suddenly, with a few days to go, voting for him mysteriously dried up.

Just get rid of fan voting already. And after that, just get rid of the damned all star game. All of them. They're stupid. And more so when fans get to pick.

Grigorenko draws back in against the Sabres after being a healthy scratch for a few games.

What a waste that guy is.

LEAFS TRADE THE PRINCESS...

The Toronto Maple Leafs traded captain Dion Phaneuf to the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday as part of a nine-player trade.
The Senators receive Phaneuf, forwards Matt Frattin, Casey Bailey and Ryan Rupert, and defenseman Cody Donaghey for defenseman Jared Cowen and forwards Milan Michalek, Colin Greening and Tobias Lindberg, along with Ottawa's second-round pick in the 2017 NHL Draft. Neither team will retain salary in the trade.

Phaneuf, 30, has three goals and 24 points in 51 games this season. He has been with the Maple Leafs since he was acquired from the Calgary Flames on Jan. 31, 2010 as part of a seven-player trade.

Babcock and Shanahan

or

Bylsma and Tim Murray

not even a discussion.

[mightysimi]

Not keeping any salary is a huge coup for the Leafs.

[gebobs]

Tank on!

That's true. Murray actually gets a return for his players.

Jets sign Byfuglien. Looks like Ladd is on his way out. It sucks being a team that can't spend it all. The CAD surely can't help either.

This is huge for Wpg though as Big Buff is a monster.
