trade deadline

I'm sure you've heard that one before, no?

Actually, I hadn't. But it makes perfect sense. Now there's the small matter of talking my wife into trying it. Anybody want to guess how that one's gonna go? LOL.

LOL - well, this old boy is just hoping to get the old girl cornered once in a while.

Actually, I'm not finding empty nest syndrome to my liking. It was sure good to have Josh home for a few weeks at Christmas.

Nothing in particular about having him around makes the day brighter. Just the overall scope of it. The ordinary boring discussions, sharing of meals, grouching about the ordinary stuff, some extra noise, sharing of FANTASY HOCKEY. (Oh yeah, we do that when he's a school too!)

I miss being rushed. I miss the hockey games and ALL the boys (I was coach for a decade). The lacrosse games. The noise... sighhhh



SCOOP

OKAY - Who's ordering the tickets to the Storm game? What date?

10th Anniversary Party - Sounds AWESOME! I'd try VERY HARD to be there! If in this area, I'd get my camper there (for me or someone else) - SCOOP

I hear what you're saying about the empty nest, Scoop. I just finished putting my daughter to bed and she had me in stitches the entire time. She's almost four, so she'll be around for years yet, but I'm already feeling like I'm going to miss her when she leaves. But such is life, and watching them become awesome, independent individuals is also very rewarding. As Ray has already mentioned.

We'll have to wait for next year's OHL schedule to figure out which Storm game.

Oh Matt, did we get to 10th Anniversary of Nutbars quickly? That's how fast it goes. Red was 10, and now he's 20... damn.

I agree about the awesome individual concept.

Enjoy every precious minute!

Here's a story about growing up... or remembering the growing up!

That's a great story. Thanks for sharing.

So just to make sure. This Sunday is the trade deadline at midnight. And Sunday is our last day for FAAB. Right?

Agreed.

I will be out most of the afternoon, but should be back for this evening's trade festivities.

I should be around...

I am around and open for business!

I will check my emails form time to time

We pushing trades through that happen tonight in order to make the roster for tomorrow?

Trades should go through at the regular rate I think....

Is that official?

That means any trade basically after 6:01pm tonight, those new players will not be in lineup till the following week starting Feb 13-19

I'll be around later today. Still looking for a defencemen, and willing to consider packaging Strome + DeAngelo/Pulock for a top choice. Send me offers if interested.

I should add that I'll be back around 7:00 p.m. (BC time), so that's 10:00 pm Ontario time.

A shame that the trade deadlin is the same day as the Super Bowl.  Who planned this?

It's all John's fault.
