Around The NHL: 2013 Season

[Jntg4]

Flames score equalizer with 1:23 left, winner with 1:00 left to beat Phoenix, Raffi's ***** ass scored twice

Michael Ryder traded to Habs for Erik Cole.

 

[JLarucci23]

When is the trade deadline?

 

[Capt. Serious]

April 3rd.

 

[JLarucci23]

I think this is the deadline where bowman unloads a few of our prospects and lands a big name for the playoff push.

With all due respect. Bowman seems to have assembled a deep team and Quenneville has them playing like a well oiled machine. What do we need?

 

[Capt. Serious]

something called a real #2 center?

 

[justaChifan]

I see your point. Just as long as they don't have to give up too much.

Strong comments by Rick DiPietro. I suggest he step away from hockey.

His mind is clearly in another world.

Kevin Maher ‏@KMaherNews12
DiPietro told me Isles waiving him felt like, "they ripped my heart out, stabbed it, set it on fire and flushed it down the toilet."

Kevin Maher ‏@KMaherNews12
DiPietro also admitted injuries, losing and fan hatred over the past 3 years made him think about killing himself at one point.

RDP says he was kidding about his comments.

valpatti claimed by caps

 

[Gunzaan]

I'm not big on rooting for injuries, karma and all that, but I'm certainly not sad that Kessler has a broken foot and is out for 6+ weeks

Flames sign RoR to an offer sheet.

EDIT: Avs quickly match

 

[Capt. Serious]

Time to take notice but Max Pacioretty is a hell of a hockey player.

 

[Capt. Serious]

just another day at the rink for Malkin.

A lot of rumors (blogs/twitter) out there saying that Josh Gorges (Montreal) will be coming out as the first openly *** athlete in the North America big 4 sports. If in fact this is true, it would be real big news for hockey, society, and hopefully a lot of good would come out of it.

Plenty of other blogs/twitter news on it if you simply type in "Josh Gorges" into google.

I do want to stress that there are a lot of conflicting reports on this (even ones saying he is currently engaged to a female) but regardless hopefully it opens up some dialogue and one day an athlete comes out and helps others through it.

Story has since been proven false. Gorges is engaged to a woman.

Correct, I did say there were conflicting reports and that reports are saying he is currently engaged to a female in my post. Still something to talk about and is always a hot topic in sports.

Was a hot topic in hockey with Brendan Burke a few years ago. Brendan's brother, Patrick, is very involved in *** athletes in hockey/sports and his "You Can Play" movement.

Burke was the one that confirmed it was false.

Patrick Burke is pretty much the embodiment of the whole movement.
