Lucic, Wheeler to Montreal

thanks Fluto, read the headline and figured we did something stupid like trading the 2 of them to Montreal

Where is Krejci? This is a joke?

ap3lovr, I thought they were traded to the Habs, too and freaked out for a second.

Glad they're going.

Nearly choked on my turkey sandwich. Thanks, Fluto.

Coming back in return: Kyle Chipchura, Patrice Brisebois, and three sacks of Schwarz's smoked meat :)

"Lucic, Wheeler to Montreal"
I saw that and also thought trade for half a second.
Nearly wet an article of clothing.

Did they forget about Krejci??? The dude is top 20 in the league in scoring...

My thought is that Krejci will end up being invited to the All-Star game- as a replacement to someone who can't make it. Only reason I can think of that he is not taking part in the rookies/sophomore's game.

Krejci is a third year player so he is not eligible for the rookie/sophomore game.

Fluto's all about the food. Heh heh...

I didn't think Krejci played enough games 2 years ago to accrue a season and was still considered a rookie last year, thereby making him a sophomore this year. He did appear in games 2 years ago I guess, but still.

krejci only played a handful of games that first season as a late season call up to gain nhl experience, not enough to qualify for a rookie season. not to mention that last year, his actual rookie season, he spent a good portion down in providence... its definitely a snub

A quick search shows Krejci only appeared in 6 games in 06/07 and would have been considered a rookie last year. Bit of an oversight on the league's behalf. He deserves to be there over Looch.

I uh, also thought this was about a trade and felt my chest tighten...

Geeze Fluto, you just gave me a heart attack.

Tweak, shimmy shimmy, That headline, well just going to have to blame the dog.i mean that got me so bad , i had to check to make sure my eyes were clear ,then with a squint, I opened the page and ahh, you funny man !

Anyone who thought this was a trade is an absolute idiot and should not be a hockey fan.

agree with nash...

Krejci - yes, definitely a snub, but another snub on the rookie end is Matt Hunwick. i mean, w.t.f. - other than l.a.'s drew doughty, which rookie blueliner has been better? can someone explain this to me?
