Deadline Day Favorite Tweets

February 28, 2011 By

I wanted to compile a list of some of my favorite trade deadline day tweets, just to share the love as an overview.

Higgins still in play with broken thumb. Weiss and Booth unlikely to love. Fla too banged up. Market value may increase for both at draft.

Small typo...hahaha. I meant Weiss and Booth unlikely to move. Although, I'm sure there's tons of love in Fla. :)

I kind of liked the first one better.

Hey, welcome to the new media landscape.  Anyone else getting a little tired of this complaint from the MSM?  They do a lot of work, I get that, but if you want to live in a bubble, get off the internet. Then see how things go for your career.

Multiple sources on this one. RT @reporterchris: Confirmed. RT @dshoalts: Sources say this is a good time for lunch.

Joffrey Lupul tweeting his own trade? Tweeting his own Trade RUMOR?

Yeah, I said it.

Lots of fake twitter accounts out there.  Even some real MSMers were fooled by fake tweets and fake trades. Not that it matters. People have been paying for fake news and reading fake tweets for a long time (e4).

Phoenix Coyotes pick up Charlie Sheen off waivers. Back in business. #Boom

BizNasty was going to be the only single guy on the bench. Now he has to learn how to lay out lines of cocaine on the bench.

Ouch.

sounds like the Oilers may have a couple of little things in play...nothing involving Hemsky or Penner.

Things happen fast. I guess he should have talked to his co-workers?

RT @TSNBobMcKenzie: Penner to LAK for Teubert, first round pick and a conditional 2nd round pick. Trade call pending.

Oh, well. Alright then.  Proving that the one thing twitter has to offer (immediacy) is also it’s greatest folly.

Because a trade of pizza would be more interesting than most of this trade deadline day.

Let’s not get crazy, here.

We still haven't heard anything on the Joffrey Lupul trade rumor started by... Joffrey Lupul. (jl3)

Still waiting….

good news: looks like Avs are going to keep the roster intact. bad news: looks like Avs are going to keep the roster intact.

Pretty much. Looking forward to that high draft pic? I am.

 

Well, I have to publish this thing some time.  I’ll update if there is something else that tickles my fancy.

Update and correction: the Lupul rumor was started by @DownGoesBrown as a prank:

Let's make our own entertainment. At 12:50, everyone tweet @JLupul at the same time with some variation of "Good luck in Long Island!"

Which, frankly, makes it a lot less enjoyable.  It’s the conundrum of the web.  If you don’t follow the starting point, you miss part of it. Oh well, it was fun for a moment, now the shine is gone. Thanks to @cfCollision for ruining all the fun. :)

Avs Trade Leopold to Flames for Bag of Pucks

March 4, 2009 By

See you later, Leopold. Don’t let the door hit you.

That may sound kind of mean. I don’t ned to pick on Jordan Leopold, his services, when available, were decent enough. But it hasn’t been easy to get the taste of his first season with the Avs out of the mouth. It wasn’t always his fault, but the Avs needed him, and he wasn’t there. Now he gets to go back to his old team for very little: a 2nd round pick, a defensive prospect, and a defenseman with some serious frequent flyer miles. From TSN:

This is the well traveled Nycholat’s third team in a week after the Flames claimed the Calgary native off of waivers from the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday. He has one assist in 14 games with the Canucks this season.

Well, welcome aboard, Lawrence Nycholat. You will find the underachievers over there, and the Lake Erie Monsters over there. Enjoy your stay.

On the positive side, I don’t have to type “Jordan Leopold was out of the Avs lineup” ever again.

Deadline Day: Ready or Not, Here it Comes.

March 3, 2009 By

Trade deadline day is always a circus. Even if the team you love doesn’t make a lot of moves, watching the carnage around you is always spectacular.

For the pre-deadline chat, Tom Luongo and I talked about some of the big names that may be moved on our podcast, The Rink. You can find that episode here. We are also going to be doing a post-deadline podcast to sum up who won, who lost, and who looked like a tool. I’ll post a link here when that is done.

As for breaking news, no one is going to be coming by here for it, so I leave that to the big boys. I’m going to be driving from Portland to Seattle while the deadline is ongoing, so I won’t be updating through the day.

I expect the Avalanche to shed a few players, but who is still in question. The obvious ones are Ian Laperriere and Jordan Leopold, but I could see Andrew Raycroft going for some depth player or a pick to someone who needs a backup (like the Sabres). My biggest feeling is that there isn’t much the Avs have that is tradable. Guys like Stastny, Wolski and the like aren’t up for grabs, and many of the rest aren’t desirable lately.

I’ll put my take on things up tomorrow, as well as a few more game recaps (I’m falling woefully behind on those). Hopefully, the Avalanche are still going to be worth watching after tomorrow (Too Late!).

TDD: The Boys are Back in Town

February 26, 2008 By

And just like that, Adam Foote is back with the Avalanche. TSN is saying that the Avs got him for a first round pick, part of what is looking like a Blue Jackets fire sale (Fedorov to the Capitals).

To it’s looking like the old gang again. Now if only Rob Blake waives his no trade clause, we could have the trifecta of free agent defections back. Oh, what will Coach Q do with all these new guys? Hey, what’s Ozolinsh up to these days?

Greg from the Post Pessimist has a good point:

1996 was a great year, sure, but it may not be best to try and relive it.

I think he may have some stories to tell. Looks like things are shaping up for the Avs.

TDD: And Now it Picks Up

February 26, 2008 By

And as soon as I put up my last post, things start heating up. Brad Richards moves to the Western Conference, and Cristobal Huet goes to the Capitals. Brent Johnson, it’s been a pleasure knowing you.

10:24 AM MST: And now we have our first Avalanche trade, with the Avs picking up Ruslan Salei for Karlis Skrastins. Poor Skras. You have to wonder if his time in the NHL is coming to an end. Overall, to someone who doesn’t pay a lot of attention to the Eastern Conference, this looks like a good deal for the Avs. One stay at home defenseman for another, but Salei might have some legs left in him. And his name is shorter. Always a bonus.

Happy TDD!!!

February 26, 2008 By

Good Morning, and happy Trade Deadline Day, still a holiday at the Tapeleg house. I was excited enough to get up early and watch the action, including 5:30 AM. I didn’t even know they made a 5:30 AM. The internet at the hotel here is spotty, but holding up so far. Until then, I can sit and watch the action. So far, I’m not seriously excited about anything, seeing as how the big news for Avs fans happened yesterday, and there has been little happening in the Western conference. Unless the Brad Richards thing is going down. That could be interesting.

Here’s what I’m looking at all day:

A few sites on auto refresh, and I a little other work in the background. Yep, I’m in total junkie mode today.
