Christmas Special: Dallas Stars

Team Wishlist: Get Kari Lehtonen back. Simple as that. Nothing fancy like Paul Gaustad and his time machines. Just Kari Lehtonen back. Before he got injured, his record was a freaking amazing 13-4-1. His GAA was 2.34. That's AMAZING. Could you imagine if Lehtonen got hurt blocking a shot? I suppose something like this:

LA Kings Coaching Change

Jeff Rimer the play by play announcer for Columbus Blue Jackets reports that Darryl Sutter may be on the bench as the Kings' coach by Thursday against the Blue Jackets.

Christmas Special: Columbus Blue Jackets

Team Wishlist: Jeff Carter and Steve Mason to play like they should been. Jeff Carter has done horribly this season along with Steve Mason. This leads me to conclude, Jeff Carter is still partying late at night, but instead of with Mike Richards, it is with Steve Mason. Bold prediction, we know. We stand by it. We know how it is. Jeff Carter is a bad influence. He's like the kid who doesn't be quiet in class. Steve Mason is his best buddy. The one who was a good kid turned bad. Alright maybe not that bad but you get the point. We wonder what Steve Mason and Jeff Carter would be like if they both played like how they were supposed to be.

Christmas Special: Colorado Avalance

Team Wishlist: For Semyon Varlamov to play like he was still in Washington. After coming to the Avalanche he's lost his starting job to J.S. Giguere. He's played horrible. Remember when he was the next best goalie? Him an Michael Neuvrith? The dynamic duo? Not really? Neither do we...


I bet you this was Giguere's happiest moment during this season.

Christmas Special: Chicago Blackhawks

Team Wishlist: Get back Brian Campbell and his ridicouly large contract. Before I start getting ripped just see his stats. They're freaking amazing. The team has a great everything else. Just an okay defense corps though. So what if they had a beast defense corps as well? Could you imagine how good that'd be?

BRING BACK BRIAN CAMPBELL!

Christmas Special: Carolina Hurricanes

Team Wishlist: Some leadership and some scoring from Eric Staal. With Marc Staal injured and people blaming his brother, you would have to think Eric is just a little worried for his brother. You would have to think this worry is hindering his play. Also, there hasn't been that veteran leadership from anyone since Rod Brind'Amour was captain. We'll see how the season plays out!

News Update

Breaking News: Terry Murray has been relieved of his duty as LA Kings Head Coach. John Stevens will be replacing him on an interm basis. Sources tell us that it is unlikely he will stay as head coach. There has been speculation that he will be replaced. I have also been told that if he is to be replaced it will be for Daryl Sutter or Randy Carlyle.

Trade: The Anaheim Ducks have traded Kurtis Foster and Timo Pielmeier to the New Jersey Devils in exchange for Rod Pelley, Mark Fraser, and a 7th Round Pick.

Talent Analysis:
Timo Pielmeier: Projected as a back up goalie with unstable potential. Has some flaws. Could be a good back up goalie or a top goalie prospect. Example: Scott Clemmensen or Alex Auld

Mark Fraser: Projected 5,6,7 D-Man. Not many flaws. Could be a third line defenseman or top AHL defenseman.

Rod Pelley: ^ Read above.
