Well I figure Ill get one more post in tonight as I'm watching a taped copy of the Spengler Cup match up of Dynamo vs Canada that I haven't got a chance to check out yet. Pretty good so far, Alexei Zhitnik looks invisible out there.
*-> Denis Gauthier will have to serve a 5 game suspension for his hit on Montreal's Josh Gorges.
*-> Pittsburgh's Tyler Kennedy will serve 1 game for picking a fight with Toronto's Luke Schenn. Pretty stupid call if I may say so.
*-> The Pittsburgh Penguins are in hot pursuit of former Pen Colby Armstrong of the Atlanta Thrashers. The plan would be to give the Pens some secondary scoring and someone to play with Crosby who has chemistry with him. The hopes of getting him back is a good possibility because Atlanta is really disappointed in his play this season. A mid level pick or a low end prospect could seal this one.
*-> The Edmonton Oilers are running out of patience with Dustin Penner. After a dismal season so far and being called out twice already Penner still hasn't ether got the message nor has he performed. This morning he was again reminded of his hefty contract and ran into the ground after practice. Craig McTavish forced Penner, Brodziak and another player to stay after intial practice and skated the 3 into the ground. Right now the Oilers are desprite to unload him but there are no suitors so far that want to take his bagage.

Ice Scoopz: Sunday Afternoon -> Forsberg 100% Out
*-> Peter Forsberg has made it official that a return to the NHL is not in the cards this season. Although he stated last week he would decide next week he still feels hes not able to permorm at an NHL level. Forsberg has made it clear however that he does want to attempt to return next season with an NHL club. Forsberg will not play for Sweden in the LG Games this month but will attempt to skate this week and will try and suit up for his home club MODO for the remaineder of the season.
*-> Denis Gauthier will attend a NHL hearing where he will get to plead his case for that huge head shot on Josh Gorges Saturday afternoon. The defenseman who is know for taking head shots through out his career will most likely be suspended a few games after the hearing. He clearly left his feet for the hit and the replays clearly show him with his elbows connecting straight into Gorges face on purpose. With the NHL cracking down on head shots will Gauthier be considered a repeat offender and be made an example?
Well that's it for now I'll have a bigger post later after the Superbowl. As for right now I'm watching a really good tilt between the Habs and the Bruins. It feels like a playoff game and this rivalry is only going to get more intense.
