e no blockbuster trades, no "OH MY GOD!" moments. No panic in the press room. There was simply the waiting and wondering, and from what I hear, coughing and sneezing in press room 6.The all day affair drove PointBlank's comment totals past 1200. I'm surprised his server didn't crash, although I heard the Invisionfree one was having a hard time keeping up.
Bill Guerin, a quality veteran, was finally given the name of his newest employer. As he wished, an east coast team, close enough to his current home here on Long Island. In Pittsburgh he will share ice with both Crosby and Malkin. One Canadian reporter said he was the luckiest guy in the world to go from the Islanders to the Penguins. While it was a swipe at our 30th place team, it also said something to me.
It says that GM Garth Snow did the best he could for the man he surprised by making Captain at the press conference in September of 2007. Miro Satan's fate today was not as fortunate. Placed on waivers, the sniper we used to call Mr. Shoot-out was not claimed. That should speak volumes about how the NHL is bracing itself in these times of economic uncertainty.
It was a tough day for everyone. And now it's done.
Let's finish out the rest of the regular season and just enjoy it. Let the kids play. Let Scott Gordon teach and let Garth Snow finally detach the phone from his ear.
Good Luck Billy. We'll be rooting for you in the playoffs.
*Dear CB: Please don't be pissed at me for swiping the photo of Bill from your website. I'm too tired and lazy to go get my external hard drive with my photos from 2007.
