Well yesterday was a busy busy day. We traded away Derek Morris, Olli Jokinen and Mikael Tellqvist. Then in a surprise move sent Daniel Carcillo to Philly for Scottie Upshall. We were probably the busiest team of the day, but I think we made some quality moves. But that's behind us for the most part now and it's time to get to work. We've got a tough matchup against the best team in the East and it won't be easy. At all. Needless to say I don't have my hopes up... FYI: 5:00p.m. Start in Phoenix
Five for Winning
Smash Wheeler!: Okay maybe this isn't a key to winning the game, but it'll earn you respect points from me. Yeah, I still have a little bit of a grudge about being passed over by him. Sure he had the right to do it, but it doesn't make that whole fiasco any better. Just run him into the glass a few times and i'll be over it though. I'd love the staff to tell the team to do it, or for Doan to, but they're too professional. Sigh.
New Look, New Attitude: A whole lot of changes thanks to the trade deadlines. Hopefully that makes the locker room and the team better. If it does, at least the Bruins won't have a gameplan for it. Though hopefully WE have a game plan for them. Just go out and play a solid game
Figure out the D: Morris was probably our best defender and we didn't do very well when he was out for an injury, much less being off the team. You guys need to get over it and get used to your new pairings as fast as possible. Hopefully We make it work.
Bryz, You Need to be BIG: With the D in flux again you're going to have to bring your A game to get the win tonight. No more Telly to back you up so it's all you big crazy Russian. Eat your pregame hot dogs and find your zone.
Scottie the Bruin Killer: He scored the game winner against the Bruins with Philly a few days agao. Let's hope he can give them problems again. He should be fun to watch.
That's all I got for now. See you at game time and the other trade reviews will go up later this afternoon!
GO YOTES!

Squeaky Wheeler
I wholeheartedly agree on the Wheeler comment. Sure he had every right (and reason) to do what he did, but I still can’t see him mentioned without thinking to myself, “I hate that kid.”
you still,
after all this time, hate that miserable little weasel?? shame on you…just because the twisted little slimeball bailed on us, how can you still hold a grudge?
the yotes 3rd uni sucks
think about this...
if all the new guys play tonight, how many new line combos can gretzky come up with? the possibilities are endless…12 forwards, 5 new guys, so who plays? doaner, rhino, muels, hanzal, tiki, bods, and ?? winnick, turris, lisin, lindstrom?? dayum, gretz can just go nuts with the combos…
the yotes 3rd uni sucks
Not sure, but I’m hoping one of the centers can keep up with a boedker Upshall pairing. THat’d be sweeeet

Upshall beat the Bruins a few times in his Philly career. He did it in OT a few years back too… probably his most memorable Flyer goal.

Because the Broad Street Subway is orange for a reason.
And to think...
in many ways he was just a fill-in as part of that Forsberg trade. He was a pretty nice piece in the end. Enjoy the Carcillo-Briere-Giroux line tonight…I’m taping the game and will watch later…I’d love to see Carcillo make a run at Olli…that would be phenomenal!
World Ph*cking Champs! That was fun - let's do it again...
maybe
get a little frustration out at the way joker treated the younger players? sweeeeeeeet
the yotes 3rd uni sucks
