A couple of minor deals went down today in Anaheim starting with....
*-> Anaheim Ducks traded the rights to David McIntyre to the New Jersey Devils for defenseman Sheldon Brookbank. Sheldon Brookbank this season has played only 15 games and 0 points with 25 PIM. David McIntyre is a long shot prospect that was drafted in the 2006 entry draft by Dallas 61st overall in the 4th round. He currently is playing for Colgate university.
*->Anaheim then traded defenseman Nathan McIver who has played in 18 games for the Ducks and put up 1 assist and 36 PIM's to the Vancouver Canucks for forward Mike Brown. Brown has 20 games played while also only putting up an assist but has 80 PIM's.
Both moves are just considered depth moves for all three organizations.

Ice Scoopz: Monday Late Night
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.

The I.R: Monday night
*->Robert Lang of the Montreal Canadians will most likely be out the remainde of the season after suffering from a severed Achilles tendon in Montreals loss to Boston Sunday afternoon. This will be a major blow to the organization as Lang was their second leading scorer. Look for Montreal to pick up a 1st or 2nd line center now that Lang is gone. Now that Alex Kovalev is in the dog house we might see him shopped in the near future.
*-> Unlucky Chris Clark of the Washington Capitols will be also out for the remainder of the season. Clark who has had awful luck the past few seasons suffered a torn tendon in his wrist this years training camp.
*-> Tuuka Rask has been sent back down to Providence of the AHL by the Boston Bruins.

Hartsburg fired!
*-> big news from the Ottawa Senator camp, Bryan Murray has fired coach Craig Hartsburg after only 48 games. Murray stated a change had to be made and the loss to the Caps was the icing on the cake. Binghamton coach Cory Clouston will take over till the end of the season when the situation will be reevaluated.

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.

The I.R: Sunday Afternoon -> Kaberle Out
*-> Toronto's blueliner Tomas Kaberle will miss at least one month with a broken bone in his hand. After taking a shot off his hand during a game agains't Colorado. Brian Burke must be sweating after this one because this will seriously effect his chances of being able to trade Kaberle before the deadline. Kaberle is after all one of Toronto's few players that would fetch some value. Anton Stralman was recalled from the Toronto Marlies to take his place on the backend.
*-> The Columbus dispatch has reported that youngstar Steve Mason of the Bluejackets is/has been battling mono for the part month. The team has issued a statment saying that they will continue to play the goalie until he is unable to play. Could Columbus be in the market for another goalie to give their youngster a break?
*-> Fabian Brunnstrum the much anticipated free agent signing late last season has been recalled from the Manitoba Moose back to the Dallas Stars today after only one game in the AHL. Rumors has it that this was a wake up call to the forward to see if they can try and get him playing after barely getting noticed this season.
*-> Josh Gorges of the Montreal Canadians will be out a few games after that nasty head shot from Denis Gauthier Saturday afternoon. The Montreal brass has stated the injury is not due to the hit but another hit later on in the game after returning. Apparently he may be suffering from concussion like symptoms from the original hit. They say he should be back in action late this week, we'll see though how this progresses. Montreal has recalled Alex Henry and Ryan O'Bryne to replace him.
