Panthers trade Thomas Fleischmann to the Ducks for a 3rd-round pick & the over-the-hill Dany Heatley. Heatley is basically a salary dump by the Ducks.

In other news, Jeff Petry is about to be traded by the Oilers according to my sources.

And, Tim Gleason was shipped to the Capitals from Carolina. I wasn't even aware that he was still playing hockey.

Live long and prosper.

Keith Yandle is now a NY Ranger. In return, the Rangers ship John Moore, Anthony Duclair & next year's 1st-round pick to the Coyotes. Great trade for Arizona!

Horrible trade for the Rangers

Congrats to Don Maloney, as Duclair is the real deal

Braydon Coburn traded to Tampa

Philly gets this year's 1st-round & 3rd-round picks plus Radko Gudas from Tampa. Gudas is out until May with a knee injury.

Great trade for Philly & Tampa GM Steve Yzerman has just totally lost his marbles.

Brett Connolly to the Bruins for two picks

The Bruins have acquired Brett Connolly from Tampa for their 2nd-round pick in 2015 and in 2016. If the Bruins miss the playoffs, this trade will look foolish & may end up costing the GM his job.

Habs picked up Jeff Petry from the Oilers for a 2nd-rounder & 5th-rounder. Good trade for the habs, who also just picked up Brian Flynn from the Sabres.

The Bruins traded former 1st-round pick Jordan Caron to the Avs for veteran defensive center Maxim Talbot.

Buffalo traded Chris Stewart to the Wild for a 2nd-rounder.

Ottawa didn't make a single move today.

TSN and various sports media have declared the Boston Bruins as big losers in today's trade deadline. The few moves they made were minor & some see them as losers in the Talbot/Caron trade since it made them older and slower.

This is a team badly struggling to hang onto the final wildcard spot & needed to improve itself considerably to stay ahead of Florida, Philadelphia & even Ottawa. Today, the GM failed the team miserably.

Are they to make the playoffs, they will be eaten alive by any team they'll face, especially if it's Montreal.

Brett Connolly of the Bruins is out for 6 weeks with a broken finger. He was acquired 2 days ago from Tampa for two 2nd-round draft picks & hasn't played a single game yet!

In other news, David Clarkson is out for the season with an oblique injury. So the Jackets are back in the familiar position of paying a player to watch the game from home.

Winnipeg Jets have announced that Dustin Byfuglien will be out for 2-4 weeks!!!

That's a devastating injury for a team battling for a playoff spot at this time of the year!

In other news, the Bruins lost against Calgary last night. With Mark Giordano out for the rest of the season, making the playoffs will be a tall order for the Flames. As for the Bruins, they're barely hanging on to the final wildcard spot, with the Panthers, Flyers & Senators poised to overtake them.

So it was a good hockey night for the Doc last night:

-Boston lost.
-Montreal lost.
-Leafs lost.

Yes!!!!! :thumb:

Ribeiro being sued by his former nanny

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Mike Ribeiro's former nanny in Texas is suing the Predators center, accusing him of assaulting her and his wife of threatening her in 2012.

The lawsuit contains no specific details except alleging Ribeiro caused "body injury" when he acted "intentionally, knowingly and recklessly." Her attorney Larry Friedman told The Associated Press on Thursday that his client was sexually assaulted by Ribeiro soon after she had graduated from high school, though she did not immediately go to authorities because she was "terrified."

"My client was and is a young girl, and no young girl should be subjected to that kind of behavior, the kind of conduct by an adult that she's complaining about," Friedman said.

The woman also alleges Ribeiro's wife "made inappropriate comments and/or threats." She is seeking over $1 million in damages along with other relief. The lawsuit was filed July 24 and now is in federal court in Texas.

TMZ first reported on the lawsuit Wednesday.

Ribeiro's attorney issued a statement Thursday saying he wouldn't discuss the facts around the allegations publicly.

"I can say that the Ribeiros plan to vigorously fight this lawsuit," attorney Brian Lauten wrote. "At the same time, Mike will maintain his focus of doing all he can to help Nashville win its first-ever Stanley Cup."

Friedman said Ribeiro was between his time with the Dallas Stars and the Washington Capitals at the time the nanny says the assault happened.

The Predators said in a statement they have been made aware of the complaint that dates to when Ribeiro played in Dallas.

"Mike has indicated that the charge is without merit and is prepared to vigorously defend himself," the statement said. "We will allow the legal process to move forward without further comment."

The AP does not generally identify people who say they are victims of sexual abuse.

Ribeiro was released last year by the Coyotes, who bought out the final three years of his $22 million contract. General manager Don Maloney said then that Ribeiro had "real behavioral issues" they couldn't tolerate.

Ribeiro has said he worked on his personal life after that season. He and his wife came to Nashville together, even paying for their own airfare, before signing with the Predators.

Nashville officials said in July that they did their homework, including talking to Ribeiro's wife, before signing him to a one-year, $1.05 million deal.

Now Ribeiro leads Nashville with 40 assists, also ninth overall in the NHL going into Thursday. He leads the Predators' centers averaging 18 minutes, 45 seconds of ice time and also is tied for first with 52 points.

Yeah, but that's an old story. His personal demons took over his life when he was in Dallas & it nearly ruined him & his marriage. I watched an interview with him & his wife a couple of months ago just before his first visit to Mtl and it was very touching. Nashville did its homework prior to signing him. Even though i've never much liked Ribeiro, the interview gave me a different perspective of him and i came out wishing him and his family the best.

It's not easy being a teenage idol in Mtl while playing with the habs and having all the money and temptations around him on a daily basis. Especially when it's happening in his hometown.

We've heard all kinds of similar stories about young habs players over the years (Theodore, Kostitsyn, Gomez, Price, etc) and it never stops. I still hear all kinds of "PK Subban" stories whenever i'm in Mtl and of course i'm aware that many of those stories are likely exaggerated or not true at all. And even if they'd be partly true, i stop & think of how my life would be if i'd be in my early twenties living in Mtl and earning millions of dollars while being treated like i'm a local celebrity. It would be very dangerous. Very, very dangerous! :rolleyes:
