We have had a busier day here this year than last, and the biggest fish on the board is still there- and Brad Richards could be there all weekend long if he chooses.
Newport Sports in suburban Toronto has been the center of the hockey universe with Richards holding court...
Gord Miller and Darren Dreger discuss who could be holding the trump card...
The tally at the close of business hours is 51 players and US$225-million has changed hands so far...
The highlights:
Buffalo signs Christian Ehrhoff and Ville Leino (6 years for US$27M)
Montreal gets Erik Cole away from Carolina (4 for 18)
Edmonton gets angrier picking up Andy Sutton in a trade from Anaheim and signing Ben Eager and Darcy Hordichuk
Colorado trades for Simeon Varlamov (2 for 5.5M)
Washington gets Cam Ward (4 for 12), Roman Hamrlik (2 for 7), and Jeff Halpern
Phoenix signs Raffi Torres (2 for 3.5) and goalie Mike Smith
Philadelphia signs max Talbot and Jaromir Jagr (1 for 3.3)
Dallas picked up Michael Ryder for 2 years...
Florida spent all this money and was still under the basement for the salary cap:
Tomas Fleischmann (4 for 18), Eddie Jovanovski (4 for 16.5), Scottie Upshall (4 for 14), Jose Theodore (2 for 1.5), and traded for Kris Versteeg for draft picks...

2011 NHL Entry Draft Day One: Go Jets Go!
((HT: NHL on TSN/NHL/JHendrix70))
First, here's what unbridled enthusiasm sounds like...
This is how the official announcement came in from the True North folks on their new nickname...
Not that there isn't any coolness with bringing back the Jets or anything like that...
And, then, we go to pick 15 and the New York Rangers...
An absolutely class move by the Rangers in recognizing the late Derek Boogaard with his brother Aaron on stage...

The draft continues today with Rounds Two through the end...

Barnaby Busted In Buffalo ((UPDATED))
((HT: WIVB-TV Buffalo))
This doesn't look good for the future of one of the better pests in the NHL for his burgeoning media career...
Matthew Barnaby was arrested Friday night and charged with second degree criminal contempt, harassment, second degree criminal trespass, and second degree criminal mischief. Police say after leaving the location, he made angry phone calls, and Barnaby has also been charged with aggravated harassment via a cell phone.
That's a lot of print... and the second degree charges mean that the act wasn't premeditated...
Amherst ((NY)) Police responded to a location during the dinner hour and found "serious damage to property." The location is being kept private to protect two female victims, who police say were not injured.
Barnaby is set to be arraigned Saturday morning in Amherst Town Court.
Here's the early returns from Buffalo...
PM UPDATED: Gene Warner in the Buffalo News says Barnaby pleaded not guilty to all five charges...
"Mr. Barnaby, it goes without question that you [must] completely stay away from anyone involved in this matter," Amherst Town Justice Mark Farrell told him in court. Farrell also issued "no-contact" orders against Barnaby's estranged wife and the other adult present when the incident occurred Friday night. That other adult is believed to be a friend of the alleged victim in the case and not another family member.
He was released on his own recognizance. Law enforcement types in Amherst admit that there were no injuries from what went down...

Johan Franzen's Busy Night
Here's one way to get a win in a playoff series...
A natural hat trick... and briefly was credited with four goals in the first period as the Detroit Red Wings beat San Jose 7-1 to trial 3 games to one in their western conference semi-fional series...
Franzen did, eventually, score his fourth goal of the night on the power play in the third period. In all, he had six points -- a record for the Original Six franchise (Norm Ullman and Steve Yzerman each had five).
"You don't want to get swept, you want to show your home fans that you want to win this thing." Franzen said. "We wanted to have a good game for them. We won this one and now we've got to win the next one."
Here's the highlights...

BREAKING NEWS: Habs Knock Off Top-Seeded Capitals
((HT: NHL on TSN/Fel0096))
Jaroslav Halak's out-of-his-mind goaltending shined again, and the Montreal Canadiens completed an unlikely comeback to eliminate the NHL's best regular-season team in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Halak made 41 saves, and eighth-seeded Montreal held on to beat Washington 2-1 in Game 7, stunning the Presidents' Trophy winners by knocking off three straight wins.
The Canadiens are the ninth Nunber 8 seeded team to knock off a Number 1 in 32 matchups since the NHL went to this playoff format back in 1994 - and the first to come back from a 3-1 series deficit.
Bully for the parties in the St. Catharine's District Wednesday night...
Here's the Mike Green penalty that led to the Marc-Andre Bergeron goal and a 1-0 lead late in the first period...
Gord Miller and Pierre McGuire are in the booth...
Next up for Halak and the Habs are the Pittsburgh Penguins...

Eric Belanger's Self-Dentistry
((HT: Deadspin))
The HQ was on its way out the door last night for a little Friday Frivolity when we saw the first part of this following piece of video tape...
The Washington Caps' Eric Belanger got a stick in the mush. We initially thought it was a helmet shot that shook his noodle for a few minutes...
The aftereffects of the shot to the face is below...
It's the playoffs. You do what you have to to get back out there...

Lapierre Gets Four For A "Gutless" Play...
Montreal Canadiens forward Maxim Lapierre has been suspended for four games for a late hit on San Jose forward Scott Nichol during Thursday night's Sharks win.
Early in the third, Lapierre knocked Nichol into the end boards with a late joke of a hit. Nichol laid on the ice for some time before getting up. He left the game favoring his shoulder and did not come back.
After the game, Sharks head coach Todd McLellan told the San Jose Mercury News he thought the hit was "a missed call and a real dangerous play."
"There was, as far as I'm concerned, a really dirty hit on our guy." said Sharks defenceman Dan Boyle. "Pushing a guy from behind into the boards, I have not seen the reply yet, but you can paralize a guy and there is no place for that in hockey."
It is still unknown how serious an injury Nichol suffered on the play.
Lapierre will be eligible to return March 13 against the Boston Bruins.
But the best part of this is below... Ray Ferraro is the color guy teamed with Chris Cuthbert... and Razor goes absolutely off...
Awesome television...
((HT: TSN/NHL))
The HQ agrees with Ferraro. Lapierre has been a disinterested player at times, dating back to his stint in Hamilton with the Bulldogs. The HQ just wishes Razor could have dealt Max some frontier justice on his own...

Maggie The Monkey's NHL Predictions
((HT: TSN))
When TSN brought out Maggie the Macaque in 2003, she selected the Anaheim Ducks to win the Stanley Cup and a television was born. She's been a fixture of TSN's coverage ever since, but is set to retire after this season.
She was a very substandard 2-6 in the opening round this year...
So, how does she do for Round 2...???
See yourself...
