I found tonights game much more enjoyable then there last meeting
:yes: Flyersfan Jen

You've got that right, Jen. :yes::respect: Come to think of it flipping a coin might be a better way. That way they could finish the game without all the foolishness and time wasting that accompanies a shootout.

Yesterday was good news for me, Montreal beat San Jose 3 -1, and for shadows as Toronto beat Boston 3 - 2, albeit in a shootout. It was not good news for smc as Boston did lose. Stupid damned overtime and shootouts in the regular season shouldn't be allowed.

We seem to be missing our score updates so tonight the Flyers beat the Islanders 3-2 so chalk up another win for the Flyers
:yes: :) Flyersfan Jen

Possible new Coyotes owner Hulsizer talks to media.
 

So it looks like the Coyotes could remain in Phoenix. :frown: :frown: :frown: And that's gonna annoy some hockey fans here.


Following article by Shawn P. Roarke - NHL.com Senior Managing Editor:

^ This whole mess has been one big crock of shit since Day 1. Phoenix is not a hockey city. Any team there will be a money losing proposition.

Devils 1-2 Penguins
 

:frown: Well it was obvious the Devils would be unable to stop the Penguins winning their 10th consecutive game.

I'm just surprised by the narrow margin of the defeat and that we were in front for a whole 81 seconds in the first period.:innocent:

I am flabbergasted. Toronto came back from a 4-1 deficit and ended up beating Washington 5-4 in the shootout. In the shootout! Toronto won two games in a row, both via the shootout. All right, who is this team and what did they do with the Leafs that never won in the shootout...actually never mind. I prefer the team that CAN win in the shootout.;)

Other valid scores:

Pittsburgh beat New Jersey 2-1. After their little bit of a hot streak the Devils are having difficulty scoring goals again. Just think dauls, Toronto gets to face Pittsburgh next. *gulp!*:eek:

It looks like we have a couple of San Jose fans here, so I will place their score here as well.

San Jose beat Detroit 5-2. Thornton got only his 7th goal of the season. I remember when he used to be considered an elite goal scorer. I wonder what caused the change?

Hell of a game. Sharks played absolutely terrible for the first 12 minutes. Amazing keeping kept us in it. All very scary Detroit in the first, except for a shortie by Thornton. Lots of PK. Detroit had some SICK, totally undefensible plays.

All Sharks from there with 4 unanswered, to make only the 6th time we've won in Joe Louis.

Thornton looks to pass first. He's typically near the top of the assist leaderboard. If wingers aren't options, because they aren't scoring, that shuts Jumbo down. Marleau is struggling this year and got bumped to the third line for this game. Heatley has picked up in the past few games, but our best players of the season have been Ryane Clowe and two rookies Logan Couture (2 goals tonight) and Benn Ferrio.

Jumbo suffers the same flat and inconsistent play that the whole team is under. We're in the basement (a shallow one) of our division. That's just not right. They didn't all show up for Montreal (not to take anything from an

I hope this kind of win tonight :heart: can start changing things. Next to go down. Philly!

Congrats to the leafs for tonight. I like a comeback. That spin-around move on the shootout was crazy!

-K

I'll take your word for it being a great game. I haven't seen a Sharks Game in weeks. Comcast and Dish Network are having a pissing match, so no Comcast California.

I heard about this :censored:.

That's a good excuse to go to the pub though! :)

That was a tough way for Philly to lose. That shot with the puck ON the line with "0.0" left was pretty memorable. You'll never see a closer finish. Sharks have had a couple of those 3rd period collapses this year, so it was good to be on the other side of one for a change.

You can see Pronger has played the Sharks before. He had a great game. It was good to see Jody Shelley again too, but I'm glad there was no trouble. He was very well liked by players and fans out here (unlike Pronger :-).

-K

Devils 2-3 Senators
 

Hosting the Devils, an ideal way for Ottawa end a 4-game losing streak. :frown:

The Devils have now lost 4 in a row (and that's 7 straight losses on the road). :frown:

Devils 1-4 Red Wings
 

Saturday night, it was the Devils 5th consecutive loss. :frown: At least the Islanders are matching us loss for loss.

We were 2-0 behind after only 102 seconds. :frown:

We outshot the Red Wings 34-23, our goals to shots ratio is woeful. :(

This is the longest season.

getting beat by the RedWings isn't as bad as being beat by the Sharks as the Flyers were a few games back
:eek: Flyersfan Jen

Holy crap did anyone see the Rangers destory the Captials 7- zip talk about a beating
:eek: :eek: Flyersfan Jen

Speaking of taking a beating, Ovechkin got into a fight.;)

Guess he has decided to go medevil until he can get back to putting the biscut in the basket as he's been in a goal drought of late
Had a great time at the Flyers- Pens game
:yes: Flyersfan Jen

Glad to hear you had a great time!:)

They are really rolling right now. They also appear to have taken Pittsburgh off their game, as they lost 4-1 to the Rangers and now have a 2-game losing streak.;)

Devils 3-0 Coyotes
 

The Devils break their 5-game losing streak.

Phoenix has proven they don't deserve an NHL team after getting 'thrashed' by the Devils. ;)

Brodeur has somehow claimed his third shutout of the season.

Ilya Kovalchuk scores two goals :eek: his first multi-goal game as a Devil (61 games).

Nice to see that Toronto decided to play like crap tonight! Why did they even bother to show up? Disgusting. They lost 5-2 to Calgary and were outshot 33-19. Pathetic, just pathetic.

Sounds like you need a big hug :hug:
:yes: Flyersfan Jen

Thank you Jennifer. A hug was just what I needed.:hug:

Devils 1-3 Predators
 

Once again the Devils winning streak is ended at 1. :rolleyes: :frown:

In a game with a season-low Devils shot count of 16 (to the Predators 20).

OK crank up the radio

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XELpxApT8Kc
as it's time for me to do my happy dance as my Flyers kicked the Rangers butt 4 to 1
Yeah oh yeah
:yes: Flyersfan Jen

Toronto's lack of offense reared it's ugly head again.:( Could I please have another hug, Jennifer?

I think the only reason that you're a Toronto fan is so that Jennifer will keep hugging you. ;):lol::innocent: I can't really fault you for that, though.

It has to be that or something else completely unrelated to hockey, because there is no rational hockey-specific explanation. :yes:

A very true statement.:lol:

Devils 1-7 Thrashers
 

If supporting the Leafs is irrational, what does that say about supporting the Devils. :blush: :(

Saturday night, we were aptly thrashed by Atlanta - and they scored 7 goals on only 22 shots, including Eric Boulton's first career hat-trick. :frown:

Toronto has been on a longer losing streak than New Jersey.

Come to think of it, if supporting the Leafs is irrational does that mean that the fans get pi?:innocent:

Note that in my post about supporting the Leafs I wrote "no rational hockey-related explanation." There could be a rational explanation that is not related to hockey ... although I'm having a helluva time trying to think of one. ;)

OK here you go :hug:
i think people are starting to talk
:yes: Flyersfan Jen

looks like someone else needs a hug :hug:
:yes: Flyersfan Jen

:blush: Thanks, but can you now find a New Jersey a hockey team? It needs one. :yes:

Sorry but they play in North Jersey and i live in South Jersey

:eek: Flyersfan Jen

Thanks Jennifer.:)

And the only reason they are talking is that they are jealous.;):yes:

Here are the scores from Dec. 19th's games:

1. Dallas beat Detroit 4-3 in overtime. I believe we have a Dallas fan here but I cannot recall who it is as they have not been in this thread in quite a while.

2. Chicago beat LA 3-2.

3. In a bit of bad news for our resident bear, Colorado beat Montreal 3-2. Montreal is stumbling along before Christmas, going 5-4-1 in their last 10 games.

4. Washington beat Ottawa 3-2. Even with this win(and I am glad, as it meant Ottawa lost;)) Washington is still 7 points behind Philadelphia for first in the Eastern Conference!

:frown: Now i need a hug as yhe Flyers lost 5-zip to the Panthers, a team in the damn NASCAR divison now i'm really depressed

:frown: Flyersfan Jen

Sorry, Jen. Here's your hug :hug:.

I will give you a hug as well.:hug:

However, I think there will probably be a hugging clinic going on tonight, as it was not pretty for any of our teams!

1. Atlanta beat Toronto 6-3. Ugly, just ugly!

2. Florida beat Philadelphia 5-0. I will honestly admit that I am surprised by this score! I guess Philly got into the spiked eggnog a tad early as the Christmas break doesn't start for a few days yet.

3. Anaheim beat Boston 3-0. Out of these three games Boston was the only one that truly could have won the game had they not run into a goaltending clinic run by Hiller. He stopped 45 shots for the shutout(while Boston only gave up 25 shots).

One thing that made me happy tonight was the fact that Sidney Crosby got three more points(1 goal, 2 assists) en route to his 21 game points streak. 21 straight games with a point, that is pretty impressive! Ovechkin who?;)

OK lets all get together and have a case of Molsen and lots of hugs
:yes: Flyersfan Jen

OK Crosby is very good but i still think Wayne Gretzky was better

:yes: Flyersfan Jen

I can't honestly compare them until Crosby has a few more seasons under his belt. If he can keep the pace he is on right now, he should be a lock for the Hall Of Fame years down the road. Who knows? By then, he could surpass Wayne Gretzky. You never know!:)

(And don't get me wrong, Gretzky was AWESOME...just not as the Coach of the Coyotes.;))

I won't bring any Molsen's but I'll bring some Rickard's Red for us all.:yes:

I definitely agree with you, Jen. I also think that Gretzky had and has more personality than Crosby

Both brands work for me.

Crosby is the latest phenom that comes around every once in awhile like Bobby Orr,Mike Bossy, Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemiux
but before we crown him let's see where he is after ten years, the above played great year after year over a long period of time a lot of players string together some great season then fizzle out
I have nothing agianst Crosby i like him and he is the top player today
Bobby Clarke got me watching hockey when i was a kid, Mike Bossy got me to really like the game and Wayne Gretzky made me a fan for life
:yes: Flyersfan Jen

Sorry never heard of Richards Red, but then it might not be sold here in the US

:yes: Flyersfan Jen

I agree with you 100%(hence my earlier post:)). As other players have shown in the past(and not just in hockey either) one or two stellar seasons does not make one a Hall of Fame possibility.

I also disagree a little with what Ila said about his personality. I think that he has improved in this area and that he has become more mature(even if it by small increments) than he was when he first joined the NHL.

Actually, it is closer to Molsens than you might think...;)


Rickard?s Red

Jen, you should definitely check it out if you are ever visiting Canada. It is really good!:cool:

Jen, you live close to the best city in the Eastern United States in which to drink beer: Philadelphia. Thanks to Pennsylvania's particular laws, it is one of the only cities east of the Mississippi River in which you can easily obtain a wide variety of microbrews from the Western United States that the rest of us must travel to California, Oregon, and Washington to obtain. Any one of those beers (visit Monk's Cafe on S. 16th in Philly) will make the swill shadows is pushing on you taste like, well ... swill.

With all the hugs you've been giving him, he ought to be a little more considerate about how he steers you, beer-wise. ;)

While I am sure those options you have given her are quite exquisite, she should still sample some of the others to broaden her palate.:)

If I am ever in the area, you should point out the good local flavours. I am never afraid to try new brews...except for Guinness.;):lol:

Devils 1-5 Capitals
 

Well at least it's an improvement on Sunday's 7-1 thrashing by Atlanta. :rolleyes: (Devils outshot Caps 36-28 :frown:)

That's 9 straight losses on the road. :censored:

At least we're still only 18pts behind 8th place in the East. :innocent:

I guess that's one way for Washington to stop a losing streak. Sorry that it had to be your team, dauls.:eek:

Only a few scores from last night(the ones that matter to us).

1. Washington beat New Jersey 5-1.

2. Dallas beat Montreal 5-2. I hope that ila can take solace in the fact that they lost to a very good team. Dallas is in 2nd place in the entire League with 45 points(only Philadelphia has more with 49 points). If Dallas can keep this up, they could be ones to watch out for in the playoffs(and keep Brad Richards from getting traded to the Leafs unfortunately).

3. San Jose beat Edmonton 2-1. Good news for our Sharks fans, but not so much good news for Jennifer.

I have tickets for tomorrow night's Bruins - Thrashers game at Boston Garden. I wish all my hockey friend fans from the Forum could join me for a night at the rink!

Let's just hope that Boston gives Atlanta a thrashing.

Yes, a 7-1 scoreline sounds about right to me. :innocent:

Anyway on Thursday it's the NHL's 'Big Basement-Team Match-up': the 30th placed Islanders come to New Jersey to take on the positively, high-flying 29th placed Devils. It should be a sell-out.:lol::p:rolleyes:

I will be there in spirit, rooting for the Bruins to give their opponents an ass-kicking as an early Christmas present.;)

The Devils better be careful! The Islanders beat Tampa Bay tonight 2-1 in overtime!:eek:;)

Pittsburgh beat Florida(YAY!) 5-2. Crosby got another point(a goal) and has not gotten points in 22 straight games! I am not sure, but I think the record is 30 straight games. He now has 28 goals and 30 assists in only 35 games! Unfortunately, I don't think he is going to reach the 50 goals in 50 games plateau this year.

In the first 11 minutes tonight...
 

...trailing 3-0 to the f:censored:g Islanders - a new low point for the Devils this season. :frown: :censored: :frown:

I think dauls will be drowning his sorrows in copious amounts of golden nectar(beer) and won't be able to post any updates. It looks like the new Coach of the Devils is showing the same results as the old one(I know, I know, only one game in...but I think it's too late for them this season).

The Devils are now down 5-1 even though they are outshooting the Islanders 33-14(as I type this, which is with 6:35 remaining in the 2nd period). The Trap may be in full gear for this game(which Lemaire was SO fond of...ugh) but you wouldn't think it with the score!:eek:

Boston is ahead 4-1 with 7:23 left in the 3rd period, so it looks like they are going to do just that. Smc will be quite pleased with that result.:)

The game is over and Boston won 4 - 1. smc is going to be happy.

In other news (otherwise known as the only other game that I was interested in tonight) it was Montreal 3 - 2 over Carolina.

What a great night of hockey! A fight on the initial face off at 19:58 of the 1st period. Thornton almost scoring a hat trick. And then a 5-on-5 fight with about 4:30 left in the 3rd period. Awesome.

Best new T-shirt being sold outside Boston Garden:

Canadiens Are "Eh" Holes

Sorry, ila, but I laughed out loud.

The majority of our membership are going to be happy with the scores tonight. Two are not.

Here are the scores that matter:

1. Boston beat Atlanta 4-1. While Boston is a Conference rival, I rooted for them to win, if only to give an ass-kicking to Atlanta who beat my Leafs their last game out. Plus, my friend is a fan and this win gives him an early Christmas present.

2. Montreal beat Carolina 3-2. The turning point was the 5-minute major given to Cole as Montreal scored their second and third goals on that PP. I did not see the game so I can't agree or disagree with his comments, but here is what Paul Maurice(Carolina head coach) had to say about the penalty:

"And Carolina coach Paul Maurice compared the call to "arresting a telephone pole after a drunk driver hits it."

"I understand why there's an issue here, but there's no way Spacek doesn't know that hit's coming because Cole's chasing him up the ice," Maurice said. "They aren't going in opposite directions. They're going in the same direction. So he's finishing his hit.

"There's no way Erik Cole knows he's going to turn his face to the glass at the very last second," he added. "There's no invitation, 'Dear sir, I'm going to hit you. Would you mind keeping your shoulders square to me so that I don't get a five-minute penalty?"'

------------------------

Sour grapes or legitimate beef? Ila, what is your take on the penalty(although you could be considered biased due to your rooting of the Habs, I find you to be a fair-minded sort so I can trust your opinion on this.:)

3. The Islanders beat the Devils 5-1. New Jersey outshot New York 35-14 yet were on the losing end of a 5-1 score? Either Brodeur drank too much spiked eggnog or the Islanders took advantage of some breaks.

4. Calgary beat Dallas 3-2 in the shootout. Our Dallas fans will not be happy about that, especially with them losing against a crappy team like Calgary(it would be like them losing against Toronto...yes, I said it!:().

A couple of games are still ongoing. San Jose currently holds a 2-1 lead over Phoenix while Edmonton and LA are tied at 1.

Devils 1-5 Islanders
 

For f:censored:k's sake. Thrashed by the Islanders! Attachment 184996

Even the sports editors in the local newspaper are attacking the Devils and New Jersey generally tends to be ignored in these parts and especially so when they are so low in the standings.

I didn't see the game nor have I even looked for any highlights yet. My initial reaction to this is sour grapes as Cole had the option of not hitting Spacek from behind.

There are no hockey games(at least NHL games, so go watch the World Junior games instead!:yes: Go Canada GO!!!!) scheduled today or tomorrow, so Merry Christmas to all my fellow hockey fans!:)

The interesting thing about Crosby is that he has become good at every aspect of the game. There haven't been many players who were so well-rounded. He didn't used to be good at faceoffs. He has now made himself one of the best at faceoffs. He doesn't have the flash of Gretzky, but he has almost always had to play with very mediocre wings. Also, the game is different than it was in Gretzky's heyday. There isn't as much scoring. Gretzky recently said that if Crosby had played in the '80's, he would no doubt have been a 100 point scorer. Living in Pittsburgh, I read and hear interviews with Sydney all the time. He has a remarkable personality, unbelievably modest. Kind of a blue collar superstar.

Tyler Seguin shows signs of being a truly great player, although if it happens it will unfold more slowly.

Devils 1-4 Maple Leafs
 

That's five straight losses for the Devils. And once again we outshot our opponents; by 30-22. :frown:

Jacques Lemaire thinks "Why am I here?"

At least Ilya Kovalchuk showed a bit of fight during the second period. :rolleyes:

We're only 20pts behind 8th placed Boston. :(

And to add insult to injury, The Islanders won tonight by beating Montreal 4-1(in which Montreal outshot the Islanders 39-25).

Here are the scores from Dec. 26th's games:

1. Toronto beat New Jersey 4-1. Not much to say about this game except that I am happy the Leafs won. The way the Leafs have played so far this season, I wasn't sure if they would be able to win or not.

2. New York Islanders beat Montreal 4-1. The back-breaker seems to be the Game Misconduct given to Max Pacioretty for Boarding. The Islanders scored two goals on that PP(#'s 3 & 4). Montreal also took 7 other penaltys, and that is never a good thing to happen when you are playing from behind.

Those are the only games that are finished that are followed by members here. One other score to mention is the Ottawa 3-1 victory. The reason I mention this is that Sidney Crosby scored and now has a 24 game point-streak!

CANADA wins their first game 6-3 over Russia.

Go Canada, GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!:yes::respect::)


ETA: Dang, I guess white doesn't show up too well against this background. Oops!

Devils 1-3 Rangers
 

We:
- - - held the lead for a full 47 seconds in the 1st period. :frown:
- - - outshot the Rangers 44-26. :confused:
- - - are the NHL's lowest scoring team with only 62 goals (18 goals less than the Islanders). :(
- - - are 1-11-0 in the last twelve - all games decided in 60 minutes, none of this OT rubbish. :innocent:

That's six straight losses - and we have scored only one goal in each of these six games.

http://forum.transladyboy.com/images/icons/icon4.gif Prediction for Friday's game: a loss by 3-1 or 2-1 to the Thrashers.

I am honestly amazed that the Leafs haven't scored less goals!

I cannot wait for the baseball season to start so I can stop looking at this shitty-ass team embarrass itself(and the fans!) with their lackadaisical play.

And the Islanders won again! They beat Pittsburgh 2-1 in a shootout(yay!:rolleyes:) and also stopped Crosby's point streak.

At least Canada won 10-1 against Norway in the World Juniors!:respect:

Was there any doubt about this one, shadows?:)

So, if I understand correctly, you would rather have the disappointment of the Blue Jays playing quite well but still not being able to compete well enough to make any headway in a division that includes the Red Sox (who as of this writing look, to many baseball writers, as invincible next season) and the Yankees?

Yes I would. At least the Blue Jays look like they are trying to win their games. And I don't take much stock in what baseball writers have to say. They were pegging New York to win it all last year, weren't they?;)

I am not saying that Boston won't do well, but anything can happen on the field(or off it). Injuries, poor chemistry, bad luck. Anything can happen. As long as the Yankees don't win, I will be happy.:)

*sigh*

Another night, another freaking lead blown by the Leafs. They coughed up a 2-1 lead and ended up losing 3-2 to Columbus. Arghhhhhhh!

Here are some other scores, none of which will make for happy members.

1. Atlanta beat Boston 3-2 in the shootout. Bad enough that the Bruins lost, but to have it happen via the shootout? Smc is probably quite irate!

2. Tampa Bay beat Montreal 4-1. I honestly have no idea why Montreal always has these "December swoons". Before tonight's games, they were in eighth place, only 4 points up on Carolina(and Carolina has 2 games in hand!). The Mods are NOT having a good night.:no:

The Sharks won 4-3 in an excellent game between #7 and #8 in the west. 7 different scorers. Hard hitting.

I'd feared an early start to the usual 3 period collapse when the BlackHawks scored 2 to tie it in the last 30 seconds of the second period. Instead, in the third, Jumbo tipped in a point shot to go ahead and the D held on for the regulation win. In fact our D got 5 points.

The Sharks are now 3-0 against the team that stopped their Stanley Cup run last year. Randy Hahn said "if only we could get them in our division". 9 teams in the west have 40-45 points now.

K

:blush: Sorry. Final was 5-3. I forgot about Ryane Clowe's empty netter with 45 seconds left. 8 different scorers.

K

Devils 3-1 Thrashers
 

At last, the Devils win to break a humiliating 6-game losing streak, and Kovalchuck even managed to score. :eek:

So much for my prediction. :blush::lol:

You had the right score, just backwards.;)

Winter classics
 

Well the winter classic games are now over
So what did everyone think?
Are you fans of these games or just think no biggie just a fad/gimmic
When they first started this i was one that was thinking it wouldn't last and looks like i was wrong and i like the games but and here's a big but they should not repete not play hockey in Fenway park as the ref's view is blocked and i guess that is why they failed to see in ot Boston had to many men on the ice

:yes: Flyersfan Jen

Devils 3-6 Hurricanes
 

4-0 down by 13:42 in the first. Brodeur pulled after only 8 minutes. Win streak stopped at one again. :frown:

Only 44 games to go. :(:p:frown:

Devils 1-2 Wild
 

What a dreadful fluke goal to lose the game by. :frown:
Clayton Stoner scored his first NHL goal when the puck took an unexpected bounce off the glass and headed into the empty net - Hedberg was caught out of position behind the net. :no:

And thrus they pay the Flyers

:yes: Flyersfan Jen

I know Jen, I'm not looking forward to the game. :(

Then it's back to Philadelphia for a rematch on Saturday. Put the Flyers down for a pair of comfortable wins. :blush:

I hope so as i have tickets for sat's game



:yes: Flyersfan Jen

I think they need to stop using the same damned teams. I am getting sick and tired of the supposed Washington/Pittsburgh "rivalry". Enough already! Put other teams in it for crying out loud!:censored:

Jen, what do you think of them waiving Leighton? Do you think it could turn around and bite them in the butt come playoff time if he ends up being claimed by another team?

Devils 2-4 Flyers
 

:frown: :censored: :frown: That's 1-9-0 in the last ten.

Jen, that's a successful part one for the Flyers, I just hope it's a fairly close game on Saturday. :innocent:

I thought I was going to get a repeat of the gold medal game with the Leafs last night! They had a 5-2 lead and then totally fell asleep! Thankfully they were able to pull off the victory and win 6-5 in the shootout.

Here are some other scores:

1. Philadelphia beat New Jersey 4-2. And the losses keep mounting up for the hapless Devils. And they don't even have a 1st round pick this year, having lost it to Atlanta in the Kovalchuk trade. I feel your pain, dauls!

2. Minnesota beat Boston 3-1.

3. Montreal beat Pittsburgh 2-1 in the shootout even though they were outshot 32-23.

4. Edmonton beat the Islanders 2-1. Thank goodness! I was getting a little worried seeing them climb up so close to the Leafs in the standings!

5. Buffalo beat San Jose 3-0. Lindy Ruff got his 500th victory in this game.

I can understand why they made the move as he was the weakest preformer of the three goaltenders this season

Sadly the Flyers haven't had a main solid goaltender since Ron Hexstall :eek:

:rolleyes: Flyersfan Jen

To be fair, he only played in the one game(due to offseason surgery). The reason I think they may end up regretting this is that he has shown that he is good under the pressures of the playoffs. Boucher hasn't proven himself and the other goalie has never been in the playoffs(as far as I know).

That's what I thought, but it appears we will have our first round draft pick. As part of the Kovalchuk trade it looks like we only gave up a first round selection in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.

In 2011 we have given up/lost the following picks:

Second Round
* The New Jersey Devils' second-round pick will go to the Nashville Predators as the result of a trade on June 19, 2010 that sent Jason Arnott to New Jersey in exchange for Matt Halischuk and this pick.

Third Round
* The New Jersey Devils' third-round pick will be forfeited as a result of a penalty sanction due to cap circumvention when signing Ilya Kovalchuk -- The penalty includes a fine of $3 million, a forfeiture of one first-round pick between 2011 and 2014 as determined by the Devils, and this pick.

The Devils clearout has already started: confirmed trade of Jamie Langenbrunner to Dallas.
I wonder who else will leave the Devils?

That has to be a typo, doesn't it(on the part where you got the info, not on your part)? I mean, they made the trade after the 2010 Draft was already gone. That is what is confusing me about this.:confused:
