Today's hockey notes start off with the end of one of the most mind-boggling goalless droughts in recent memory. Scott Gomez, who's making $7.5 million this season for the Montreal Canadiens, finally scored last night after going more than a year without lighting the lamp!

The double-take that guys does is my favorite part.
davisca - February 10, 2012
mine too! I love the huge eyes! It makes me laugh every time!!!
Creeping Death - February 10, 2012
ps. where is everybody today…. glad OtF has the two grad students that should be studying writing on here instead ;)
Creeping Death - February 10, 2012
Sssshhh!!! I’m trying to ignore my homework!
davisca - February 10, 2012
I think they should ship Stastny out of town along with SOB…. they should ship them here
Creeping Death - February 10, 2012
There's no fricken way
we’re trading Josi and a 4th for that schlub.
And that Oiler’s proposal? ridiculous.
Lets not link to that blog anymore.
Shawn Kehoe - February 10, 2012
which blog?
Creeping Death - February 10, 2012
the trade proposals blog above
Shawn Kehoe - February 10, 2012
thanks! I am too lazy to go and read all of them ;)
Creeping Death - February 10, 2012
Schlub?
He scored more than any of the Preds did last season. I’d probably take him.
Dirk Hoag - February 10, 2012
doesn’t he say Laakso and 4th for him? I would do that in a second!
Creeping Death - February 10, 2012
yeah, it does say laakso
i wonder why my brain interpreted josi? I can live w/o laakso
Shawn Kehoe - February 10, 2012
its ok. the Scott Gomez goal has gotten us all a little messed up today
Creeping Death - February 10, 2012
We all have temporary Post Traumatic Scott Disorder.
davisca - February 10, 2012
haha!!!
Creeping Death - February 10, 2012
Laakso and a 4th for Parenteau?
The Islanders aren’t that stupid
Lil cutie - February 10, 2012
Scottie Hartnell...
you’re the best.
robjustice - February 10, 2012
I was wondering...
How do the rest of you feel about Gill + AK46 for _________???
Predadave - February 10, 2012
Gill would be a great addition to the D; size and experience. If nothing else, AK46 would give us some great opportunities for fun. It’s not often you can have a 2 Tits line! In all seriousness, it might take some time but AK could be a good addition (Trotz has a way of making that happen).
Catwoman - February 10, 2012
how about we throw this in the blank: a free scott gomez goal next time they play the Preds
Creeping Death - February 10, 2012
like it and like it, to answer your question … filling in the blank is the hard part
el pucko - February 11, 2012 via Android app
I’m really bad at figuring out which players are worth more than themselves (i.e., 1:2 ratio or whatever), but that’s okay. You could send them Geoffrion (even though I highly doubt we’d do it, they want the Whole Collection), Cube (he speaks French and is basically from Quebec – WOOO!), and Smithson (he’s a good defensive player, and he could help with their goal differential)?
