Hawks beat the Ducks 3-2 in OT at the United Centre

Good. I don't like the Ducks

Trade deadline day today for the NHL and the 1st trade is Columbus trading N/M Pascal Leclaire for Senators forward Vermette.

You weren't wrong

Bruins acquired defenseman Steve Montador from the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for forward Petteri Nokelainen and aslo added Mark Recchi and a second round draft pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft from the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for defenseman Matt Lashoff and forward Martins Karsums

Dale Tallon yet again does a fantastic job of messing up in trade deal

Anaheim traded C Samuel Pahlsson, D Logan Stephenson and a conditional pick in the 2009 Entry Draft to Chicago for D James Wisniewski and C Petri Kontiola!

Have to say I'm really pee'd off the Hawks have traded Wisniewski, I thought he was a very useful player and chipped in with important pts.
He has notched 13pts in 32 games this season and Pahlsson has only got 15pts in 52 games which is poor for a C against a D man. Pahlsson is getting to the end of his career and Wisniewski is just getting to his prime.
If they wanted a veteran centre I'd rather they went for Moore who the Leafs traded to Buffalo as he would have been a much better option without giving too much away.

Can't see how this trade makes the Hawks stronger at all only weaker. The sooner Tallon is told to leave well alone with trades the better for me. Tallon has also failed to get Havlat to a new deal so Havlat is most likely going to test the free agent market and he's failed to do anything with Khabibulin so he'll more than likely walk for nothing come July 1st.

Nik Antropov joins the Rangers, the Leafs getting a second-round draft choice and another conditional pick and the Leafs traded Dominic Moore to Buffalo for Carolina's 2nd-round pick in the 2009 Entry Draft (previously acquired).

Leafs also claimed G Martin Gerber from the Sens and D Erik Reitz from the Rangers on waiver.

Thats the sort of deal Tallon should have done, instead of taking Pahlsson for Wisniewski, still can't believe that deal. The Ducks have got rid of an average centre for a decent D man who can play and mix it up if needed. Tallon shafted the Hawks organisation on this deal.
Moore would have been the ideal veteran centre to bring in to the Hawks camp and improve them for the late season run and play-offs.

Gerber makes 37 saves and misses a shutout by 39 seconds as the Leafs beat the Caps 2-1 in Washington.

Bruins beat the Blackhawks 5-3
