Little Bits of News You Didn't Have to Dig Up Yourself
· Puck Daddy runs down possible replacements for injured Team USA defensemen. Left off P-Daddy's list: Rob Scuderi. (Thanks to injuries, Team USA defense not looking golden - Puck Daddy - NHL Blog - Yahoo! Sports)
· Bourne's Blog ruminates on Burke's weekend trades and composes a sentence that resonates through every bone of my Kings-obsessed body: "Burke knows one thing – players that are good-but-not-great are easy to come by. You need the difference-makers to win." Also, there's this gem: "How insufferable will Toronto fans be if Burke manages to transform [the team]. It’ll be like mixing crappy Flames fans with obnoxious Yankee fans. Plus, about 55,000 people already have one foot on a bandwagon that would immediately collapse under the weight all the new 'diehards'." (Canadian Shake-ups, NHL Observations | Bourne's Blog)
· On the Forecheck looks at schedules. Good for Kings, bad for everyone else. One potential pitfall for the Kings, which he doesn't mention: they have many more home games than road games. (Strength of schedule could make or break NHL teams' playoff hopes - On the Forecheck)
· Dennis Kane evaluates the rebuilt Canadiens. "The plundering of the team, the hiring of so many new guys – Gomez, Cammalleri, Gionta, Moen, Spacek, Gill, Mara, Bergeron,etc. etc, has made the team worse." (Dennis-Kane.com | The Remaking of the Team Has Done Wonders)
· Down Goes Brown strikes again. Brilliant: (Down Goes Brown - Hacked: Gary Bettman's Email Account)
· The Puck Stops Here thinks Sutter lost it: "These trades call Sutter’s competence into doubt. You do not improve your team by selling players when their value is at an all time low." (KuklasKorner/The Puck Stops Here : Calgary In Panic Mode)
· The Strangest One of All gives Sutter the benefit of the back-handed doubt: "Unless Sutter has completely lost his mind and just is making himself become the Mad Hatter and moving people for the sake of moving, there has to be a meaning to all these moves he's making." (The Strangest One Of All: The Fine Art of the Early Trade)

I love DGB. The demon monkey that lives in my stapler says that the David Stearn email is real.
But…aren’t there more people out there who think that Phaneuf is a big, dumb, overrated lower colon? I am surprised at this.
Sutter traded him away in a desperate attempt to escape my rays of hate. I cursed the Flames after that hit on Kopitar, and their entire record in January happened as a result. But the curse is still in effect, even if they have parted ways — sorry, Leafs. Too bad, Sutter. My ire is still trained on ALL of them.

Excellent.
BTW, is it all right if I call him “Mr. Sphincter” or “a total anus”? Feel free to instantly delete this comment if it isn’t. You make the rules.

If Team USA must pick a King’s US born defenseman as a replacement for Martin and Komisarek (and of course they don’t), why not Matt Greene ahead of Scuderi?
