One o’clock this afternoon marked the end of trading for the rest of the 2009-2010 NHL season. It was a busy time for a lot of teams and one team in particular made a couple of moves I didn’t expect. The Avalanche acquired Peter Mueller and Kevin Porter from Phoenix for Wojtek Wolski, as well as Stephane Yelle and Harrison Reed from Carolina for Cedric Lalonde-McNicoll and a 6th round draft pick. Mueller was present for the game tonight against the Anaheim Ducks.
That’s right ladies and gentlemen, in a move I had just previously noted as “not going to happen,” the Colorado Avalanche have crept in under the deadline (the news trickled in after), acquiring Stephane Yelle and Harrison Reed for Cedric Lalonde-McNicoll and a 6th round pick.
Colorado Avalanche forward and fan scapegoat Wojtek Wolski has been traded to the Phoenix Coyotes for the lesser equivalent of himself in Peter Mueller and former Hobey Baker winner Kevin Porter.
According to Twitter, obviously the most trustworthy news source of all (remember the Michael Jackson news broke there first… and so did the death of Jeff Goldblum, which never happened), 34 year old goaltender John Grahame has been signed the by Colorado Avalanche in the first of probably a few moves before the trade deadline.
Arguably the most exciting day of hockey during the entire Olympics happened yesterday, including what was supposed to be the unreal match up between Russia and Canada. Not many could have predicted the final outcome of the days events.
Day three of our Olympic Men’s Hockey coverage continues with recap of USA vs. Norway, Switzerland vs. Canada, and Slovakia vs. Russia. What a day it was!
The International Ice Hockey Federation has half of this year’s Olympic Hockey team rosters available to peruse online today, with another five being announced tomorrow. The Team USA roster won’t be released until January 1st, during the Winter Classic game. Things aren’t looking good for team USA at this point but hey, we had the Miracle on Ice remember?
