• More reaction from the Islanders/Senators trade.  So, when are we finding out what else the Senators are receiving as part of that trade?  No, really. 
  • The Blue Jackets have claimed Chris Gratton off waivers from Tampa Bay.  Gratton is slower than my grandmother but can win draws and provides a big presence up the middle for the Jackets. 
  • Mark Recchi wasn’t happy about not being in the Tampa Bay lineup on Friday.  He’s going to get traded before the deadline, so his anger won’t last too long.
  • Eric Duhatschek’s Saturday morning column.  Great read.
  • Denis Gauther has been suspended again.  He’s one of the dirtiest players in the NHL, so these actions aren’t surprising anyone.
