    I only turned on the Carolina feed when a friend texted me about the situation. I rewound NHLtv to see the hit, then fast forward to catch up to the live feed. Didn't rewind to watch the Reimer collision.

    The last minute(ish) of the Carolina feed was amazing to listen to.

      Mike Green to Edmonton. Brodziak and a conditional 4th to Detroit.

      Washington spends a 3rd for Ilya. Montreal retains half... Of his league minimum salary.

      Bogosian signs with Tampa for 1.3M. Not entirely sure he has the speed to stay in the lineup once their defense gets healthy, but we'll see.

        Brian Burke said that the Ayres EBUG performance was "an embarrassment to the NHL, and the league is looking into fixing this so it never happens again."

        Because watching a crown jewel Original Six franchise fold like a cheap tent against a 42 year old zamboni driver was apparently a bridge too far in the many ways they have embarrassed themselves.


        My guess, IF there is a rule change, is this goes one of two ways: CBA rule change where you can have a third netminder, undressed, on your roster (like a Black Ace during the playoffs, but all year). Or, the league does away with EBUG altogether and the team forfeits the game.

          It was in no way an embarrassment.

            Oh, I completely agree. And the Hurricanes did one hell of a job on limiting shots as well, they really rallied in front of him. I was surprised a little how it appeared like the Leafs let up toward the end.

            Despite this once in a lifetime shot, somehow the league will screw this up going forward.

                  I know, right? They could make Ayres the face of the hockey fan. He's Central Casting for it. He's Gary F-cking Cooper as Everyman. He's everything you need to know about the hockey community that is so special. He's every parent busting his hump getting the kids to the rink for 1 a.m. ice time. And he's a real life miracle on ice, with a sense of humor and a funny wife with a Twitter account.

                  And now watch Corporate completely sh-t all over it with some cynical HOW DO YOU DO FELLOW KIDS marketing scheme.

                      Brian Burke is the epitome of Get off my lawn. Yes it's embarrassing for the Leafs, but it's great for hockey.

                        When Ayres came into the game did the Leafs provide a second EBUG to sit on the Carolina bench?

                            AA to Oil Country, per Gord Miller. Kenny will pay 2 2nd's, per Dreger. Kuffner also to EDM, Sam Gagne to DET per official release.

                                Only if the retirement recapture penalty won't screw us. Sounds like Guerin may have received word that if he does retire early (Parise of course says he has no intention of doing so) that it will fall under LTIR. The guy's back is more metal than bone at this point.
