Daily Cupcakes: January 6th, 2011

Some Joe Sakic news, he's being inducted into the BC Hockey Hall of Fame 2011 class.

Not that there weren't a few beads of sweat and some nervous laughter from committee member Bernie Pascall after Sakic failed to answer the phone during an announcement of the B.C. Hockey Hall of Fame's 2011 inductees on Wednesday.

Tippet talks aout Wojtek Wolski in a Coyotes - Avalanche preview.

"I don't think things have gone as well as he'd like right now, but I'm sure he'd like to have a breakout game against his old team," Tippett said. "That's just human nature; anybody would like to do that."

Another preview for the Phoenix - Colorado

"We wanted to come out of that home slump, so like I said earlier, I think we've played some really good hockey at home," said Matt Duchene, who extend his career-high point streak to five games with his 16th goal.

Tippet knows about the Ex-Av curse…he knows too much.

He must be eliminated…..

The Avs defense is "air tight"....so tight it's gasping for air and turning purple.

Langs is on his way out of NJ

He wasn’t around for pre-game media, his locker is empty, he’s not playing tonight, and he’s been asked to waive his no-trade clause. Let’s move in and see what Lou does.

I have little interest in Langs in a unipron. I will, however, be interested to see where he ends up.

2010-2011 Colorado Avalanche: pretty good at hockey since they can't get into the bars yet.

My thoughts exactly. The main speculation I see is Dallas, LA, St. Louis, and (jokingly) Toronto.

NSH may be a player as well. Don’t think that’s the right answer for them, but…

I’m such a nerd. I’m searching for info everywhere. I don’t know why but I just get giddy when trades happen.

Even if I don’t give a damn about the players and teams involved.

Per some beat writer for Philly, Anthony SanFilippo, on Twitter...

According 2 a source the Flyers are offering draft picks for Langenbrunner but the Devils may have a better deal already. I’ll keep u posted

Isn’t Philly strapped already? How could they afford him?

More and more reports have him going back to Dallas.

there has been also speculation that Columbus may be willing to move RJ Umberger or another player

to acquire some players they need… specifically a PMD. May be time to harass AD about what scouts he’s seeing a lot at Avs games

Step right up! We got your PMD’s right here! Furiously fast boys who can take the puck from end-to-end, just like Bobby Orr! Step right up!

Thats quite the caption fail. that is all i have to say for now.

The Savage has spoken. Let it be done

December, 1995 - In a strong statement that still resonates to this day, the Montreal Canadiens make it clear to Patrick Roy that the franchise will simply not tolerate championship-calibre goaltending.
