Well, that sucked. The Coyotes had a flat game after a quick start and between the refs missing calls and every lucky bounce going the way of the Blues, the Coyotes had no chance. Travis will have the full recap, but here is what I saw from my seats in Section 115...Bryzgalov gave up a bad rebound right in the slot and the Blues tied the game at 1...then a shot deflected off of Joel Perreault's stick into the back of the net and it was 2-1. The Coyotes were still right in it until the refs missed two big calls. Zbynek Michalek took a high stick from TJ Oshie right to the face and Kerry Fraser just watched it without a call...then the Blues completed a bad line change that should've been called too many men on the ice, but play continued and before the next whistle, it was 3-1 Blues. It went downhill from there...Coyotes at least didn't allow the punk Blues to take cheap shots against them and were willing to stick up for themselves...including Petr Prucha once again playing bad cop to back up his countryman Radim Vrbata. Oh well, get 'em next time...

Opinion: Plenty of trades could happen before deadline - NHL- nbcsports.msnbc.com
Sporting News: The flurry of activity before the two-week trade freeze completely changed the dynamic of Wednesday's 3 p.m. deadline, thinning out the pool of available players. But that hasn't slowed the conversations among GMs eager to improve their team for a playoff run.

Moncton Wildcats star David Savard represents the best of both worlds. Included here because Savard is currently 9 points behind Coyotes defenseman Keith Yandle's Moncton Wildcats record of 84 points for a defenseman in a season. Savard has 7 games to try and break Yandle's record.

Boston's clearing cap space.
Why we bit on that, I’m kind of befuddled myself.

A d-man we already know isn’t good in his own zone most nights and who doesn’t put up numbers any better than what we’ve already got in the offensive zone. Heck, the best scorers on this team play on the blueline. Is Maloney’s plan to convert him to a winger? /snark

I woulda put it on the top, but this post is just too purdy.

Appreciate the complement on the post…although Travis got the story up on top.
Not sure what’s not to like about this deal, though. Morris was very good defensively for a few years (playing with Ballard as our top shut-down pairing). His numbers were very good considering how bad some of those teams were about giving up goals (this is the Alex Auld/CuJo/LeNeveau/god only knows who else in net). He’s certainly come off of that a bit, but I would consider him an upgrade over Vandermeer who is just having trouble keeping up with wingers it seems. Also, it could spell a few nights off for Aucoin to keep him rested during the stretch run. And a 4th round pick when we have a lot of picks in the upper rounds, isn’t really a big cost…

Well, we got him for basically nothing.
But the only times I’ve seen him in the last two years is when he’s been getting posterized.
