Leaked pictures of the new Preds jerseys
DECE!!!
After a big night last night with the most unexpected trophy going to Corry Perry. (No Disrespect but he didnt even think he was going to get it). It was a good night most of mine and Siftons predictions actually happened. NHL12 cover was released yesterday and lots of NHL video game fans will love Stamkos on the cover and I think its great it will be the first time seeing Stamkos in those beautiful jerseys before he actually wears them. Jay Mohr was a decent host last night and he was really funny especially in his 24/6 sketch. " Sid tell me about your first time" "Um well its kinda funny actually i asked him if he wanted to take his helmet off, i wasnt sure because i hadnt had much experience" AHH good times.
Anyways today lots of news spread the net. A few trades that happened in Philly only 30 min from each other. Philly shipped off Jeff Carter to Columbus for Jakub Voracek, first rounder and a third rounder. Then 30 minutes later Philly shipped captain Mike Richards to LA for Brayden Schenn, Wayne Simmonds and a second rounder WOW!! but im not finnished, The reason why philly shipped these boys out was because they wanted cap space for Ilya Bryzgalov who they traed for a week earlier. Now here are my thoughts, I dont understand why Philly would trade away two of their best players and not only were they two of the best but they were a big part of the leadership of the team. They traded them for cap space to sign Bryzgalov for a 9 year deal at $51 million. What why? I understand they needed a goalie and that is the reason for the losses in the past two playoffs but why would you give away the core of your team and parts of the reason why you got there. I tell you they got good return in Schenn, Simmonds and Voracek but these are just young guys who could be great for you team in the future but it isnt a sure thing and could come back to bite them, but i doubt for a second Schenn is going to be a bust. LA is hoping for a great plyoff push next year and Richards it going to be a key role in them getting there and being there. A polayer like that going into LA you have to think will they want to bring him up to lead them to a Stanley Cup as Captain or will they keep Brown as Captain? The other return for the WEST was Carter, Carter will take the load off of Nash in Columbus and they hope to make it back to the playoffs.
The next thing that is not a big news story but it is for people who love Hockey jerseys will like the new identity of the Nashville Predators and mom if you are reading this, that jersey up there ^ would be cool as a birthday gift ( Sea Weber #6 btw).
And the last thing i will talk about is the Draft tomorrow,if anyone has actually been reading my blog, then you would have seen the Draft predictions for the top ten, me and my buddys all posted our predictions and i think it will be interesting because no one really knows who will get picked first, and neither do we. It will be a big day for many 18 year olds and for the clubs, I also hope my Leafers will make a splash tomorrow, they hold the 25th and 30th pick (PHL and BOS). Winnipeg will make their first pick as a team but they will be nameless tomorrow. Their 7th overal pick (Jonathan Huberdeau) will wear a blank jersey wil the NHL sheild on the front. It is too bad that they will not be releasing the logo and jersey tomorrow but TSN said that the name of the club will be announced some time this weekend at the MTS Centre in Winnipeg.
