Scouts at Leafs and Oilers game?

There's supposedly 28 scouts from 22 teams in attendance for the Leafs and Oilers game tonight. Teams that they are from aren't confirmed right now...

Waivers

Anthony Stewart of the Carolina Hurricanes has been put on waivers.
Zach Hamill of the Boston Bruins has been put on waivers.
Andrew Murray of the San Jose Sharks has been put on waivers.

More to follow.

Update:
9:39 Hearing Habs, Blues, CBJ, and NYI all have interest in Stewart.

Coaches are being targeted no?

The Buffalo Sabres' Lindy Ruff has had a bad day today. The Buffalo News' Adam Harrington describes it best...

Leopold was working in a 1-on-1 drill with Ville Leino and lost his balance, sliding to the ice and barreling into Ruff from behind. Ruff went airbone and landed hard on the ice, letting out a scream as his body crumpled that echoed through the empty arena.

After X-Rays, he has three broken ribs... He is still expected to be at practice tomorrow. What a trooper!

The Edmonton Oilers' Tom Renney had a bad day as well... He took a puck off the face today during practice. He will not be behind the bench tonight against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Assistant Coach Ralph Kreueger will be behind the bench tonight. 

This intrigued me. According to Johnathan Bernier Sports writer of Journal de Montreal, there are many, many scouts at Habs - Jets game today. Here's the list.

Teams:
Pittsburgh Penguins - 1
Ottawa Senators - 1
Chicago Blackhawks - 1
St. Louis Blues - 3
Phoenix Coyotes - 1
Vancouver Canucks - 1
Nashville Predators - 1
Toronto Maple Leafs - 1
Colorado Avalanche - 1
Florida Panthers - 1
Dallas Stars - 1
Columbus Blue Jackets - 1
Minnesota Wild -1

Total - 15 scouts at the game.

Wayne Gretzky's Record Broken!

The Edmonton Oilers' Sam Gagner set a franchise record for being part (actual goal, assisting) of 11 straight goals beating Wayne Gretzky's record of 10.

Optimus Reim is Back?

James Reimer was in net for Toronto's 5-0 win over Ottawa tonight. He made 49 saves while earning the shutout.

This is Reimer's second shutout in as many games, the previous one coming on Wednesday when he made 25 saves in a 1-0 victory against Pittsburgh.

It seems this could be the return of Grace for Reimer, saving the last 74 shots he faced. He is faring better than the Monster lately and he could now have wrestled the starting job from him. Here at Two Bored Teens, we are just speculating about this but this could finally spell the end of the 6 year playoff drought if Reimer continues to be hot.

We don't know for sure since he has been streaky this season but we would still like to hear your opinions on whether or not Reimer will return to his 2010-2011 form! Comment below!
