Caps massively overpay for Orpik

Niskanen still on the board. Thornton/Marleau trade still hasn't went down.

To Avs. Three years.

Stralman to Tampa.

Detroit literally has done nothing with $15mil in cap space. Supposedly out on Niskanen.

Detroits FA signing day

Literally missed out on the entire top 20 free agents.

Niskanen to Caps. 7y at 5.75. The market for him was imagined to be much higher.

You should just be glad someone cared about this community enough to liveblog trade/signing updates from his phone as I drove around yesterday.

Part of me is wildly jealous of the ducks getting Heatley for $1mil for one year. The other part of me still wishes Heatley had died in that car crash.

Yeah. I keep hearing rumors of the wings trading for joe thornton, and I literally don't think I could bear to watch if that gutless weasel was on my favorite team. It'd be second only to pronger hypothetically being on the team.

Heatley placed on waivers. He's effectively done in the NHL.

Too slow to play on the top line, not tough enough for any other line suitable to his speed.  The groin didn't help either.  Maybe nobody claims him and he gets fit in the AHA and provides depth later on, but I, like you, doubt that.

It's time for the rookie Max Friberg to play on the top line...

And the World Juniors are to a flying start....

unfortunately came crashing down for the 'mericans:  "It was the fourth consecutive win for Russia over the U.S., which hasn?t beaten the Russians at the World Juniors since December 29, 2007.

The Americans, whom many predicted would face Canada in the final this year, will go home without a World Junior medal for the second straight year." (http://www.worldjunior2015.com/en/news/usa-rus-qf/)

i'm currently watching the final and i'm having deja vu all over again: canada's 5-1 lead over the ruskies has evaporated to 5-4, with the commies about to start the on a power play.  fucking hell.  would someone teach those kids to finish what they start?
