OTB: Jacques Martin comments on Jay Bouwmeester situation

What team beat writers are saying this afternoon:

• The Ducks have announced a ticket price freeze for next season.  Good on them.  All teams should be doing this in light of the economy’s more than significant downturn.
• Peter Chiarelli talks trade deadline.  I don’t see him doing anything significant and I think that is the right move. 
• No timetable on the Ryan Miller injury.  I can’t wait for the daily updates that reveal next to nothing.
• See you later Jimmy Howard.  That didn’t last long…
• Jacques Martin talks about the Jay Bouwmeester situation.  To me, he has to be dealt.  They can get some nice assets back for him and, I believe, still make the playoffs.
• Dustin Brown can’t play tomorrow night because he’s his wife is pregnant.  I got him confused with his Governor.
• Owen Nolan is out tomorrow and Andrew Brunette is back in.  They need both goal scorers for this road trip.
• Habs lines from practice today.  Canucks next up for team controversy.
• Radek Bonk is expected to be out of the Predators lineup for two weeks.  Will miss his faceoff presence.
• Brett Cyraglis doesn’t like the Renney firing.  Fair points.
• The obligatory Viktor Kozlov injury update.  When is this guy coming back already?
