A lot of the rookies are reaching the nine-game point and teams have to make a decision to either keep him or send him back to Juniors.
The Oilers are opting to keep the Nuge which has us happy-dancing in our seats for the Oilers and we get to see him grow into his lady-face. It will happen. LeTude called it when she said Taylor Hall would grow into his horse-face.
They also play together really, really well. Along with Jordan Eberle.
Also, in a not a surprise at all move, the Avalanche are keeping Gabriel Landeskog. One, they need him. Two, he's been ridiculously awesome for the team.
And the Flyers are keeping Sean Couturier which makes us alternately happy (because he's cute) and yet frustrated because now we have to learn how to spell his name correctly.
He's been impressive for the Flyers and with younger Scheen out for an extended period of time with a broken foot, it's a good decision.
There isn't an article about it that we've seen but it looks like Adam Larsson will be staying with the Devils this season. Yay, another Swede!
And the Kings have Slava Voynov on the backend who scored his first NHL goal tonight along with another one in the Kings win over the Stars. He's been pretty good for them and might stay with them for a while.
Or until Drew Doughty returns.
Other News:
- Ryan Whitney is injured again. This is getting to be just ridiculous. Ridiculous. He sprained his knee in the Oilers win against the Canucks and will be out for THREE WEEKS.
Really? What a jerk.
- This fight last night between Brad Marchand and PK Subban was definitely a great highlight.
It's like two kids play-fighting, love it.
- Kyle Turris has asked the Phoenix Coyotes for a trade. There's a lot of bad blood between Turris and the Coyotes brass. Really weird.
- There is talk to bring AHL teams to the West coast so that Western teams will have their prospects closer and they do not have to travel for hours and hours after a sudden or emergency call-up.
- The Penguins will be hosting the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. Can you hear us screaming with joy? Cause we totally are. We've been up on this since the summer but it was officially announced yesterday.

A few things:
1. With every other bit of the ice miked, WHY can't they put mikes in the boxes? Can you imagine what sort of gems were being lobbed back and forth in those four minutes?
2. The refs were smart to just let them get it over with because it was going on all night and to prolong it could've been worse.
3. After you stop laughing at PK's first haymaker, take a moment and imagine if it had landed. Marchand's nose would be all over the tri-state area.
YAY NUGE! Pool party!!
@Jennifer - I am with you. They should absolutely mic up the boxes! I would LOVE to know what those guys toss back and forth at each other.
After two attempts to fight I think the refs just gave up and decided to let the two big mouths of each team go at it. Well, attempt to go at it anyway. It was really kind of funny. Clearly neither of them does a lot of fighting. Fortunately for both of them they have skills in other areas.
I'm glad to see Hall really has grown into his face. And a very nice face at that!
Wait Hall grew into his face? When did this happen? I'm not sure that I believe this.
p.s. My, my how my little Gabriel has grown up. He is already being foxy and everything. Momma is so proud.

Not at all surprised about my Nuge. But this is not going to change the fact that he could totally star in Hall & Oates' "Maneater" video as the vamp no prob...
As for Hall: "A horse is a horse/Of course of course..."
Horses are horses. They never grow into their faces. But maybe now that the Nuge is so very much smarter and cooler than he is - and will surely get more tail, rather than teeth - DumDum will be prompted to continue to up his game and score and shit instead of wiping out and slamming awkwardly into the boards.
Who does Ryan Whitney think he is? Rick DiPietro? LAME.
Ryan Whitney :(
I also read that apparently the Bruins went on record saying Bob has some congential (it's so hard not to write genitals when discussing Bob) hip condition that means he'll break his hip more easily and maybe it could be a career-long (and career-ending) situation? Seriously? You're TELLING people this? I can almost see Alexandre Burrows getting on Wiki to look up where the hip is.
And YAY draft!!! I forgot to say that before.
