On the trades front:
The Carolina Hurricanes traded Tomas Kaberle to the Montreal Canadiens for Jaroslav Spacek.
The Ducks traded Kurtis Foster and Timo Pielmeier to the Devils for Rod Pelley and Mark Fraser (and a seventh-rounder in 2012).
In a sort of trade, the Kings fired Terry Murray and named John Stevens as the interim coach.
On the fine front:
Brad Marchand was fined $2500 for his slewfoot on Matt Niskanen during last week's Bruins/Penguins game.
Steve Downie was fined the same amount for leaving the bench on an illegal line change.
INJURIES!:
Chris Pronger is out with 'concussion-like' symptoms.
Mike Green is seeing a specialist for his groin injury.
Zdeno Chara is day-to-day with a knee injury but says that it isn't serious.
Brian Boucher is on the Hurricanes IR and Jeff Skinner is injured. Jeez.
Claude Giroux has a concussion and is out indefinitely. NOOOOOOO!!!
And Sidney Crosby is out indefinitely with symptoms.
(The entire state of Pennsylvania is in mourning with these injuries.)

Speaking as one of the lone Flyers fans on here, the fact that they have 3 players with concussions, makes me want to vomit. Hopefully the 6 rookies (ACK!!!!!!!!) on the team can lead the way. Fingers, arms, and legs crossed.
And my Canes are missing two of their D-man. We are short 4 dudes. And Jeff Skinner counts for like 10 dudes because he is our only offense lately.
Bummed about Giroux's concussion as well (and not just because he's my star player in my hockey pool). Hoping he has a speedy recovery so he can continue his ass-kicking ways! Same with Sid. It's heartbreaking to hear. Jeez is there any good news these days?!
