NHL Trade Deadline Analysis

Monday, February 28th, 2011

Throughout the day, stay with www.anysportanytime.ca, for my analysis, and Jim’s analysis, on transactions that have taken place.

Here are the sixteen deals that have been made:

Atlanta trades Niclas Bergfors and Patrick Rissmiller to Florida for Radek Dvorak and a fifth round pick.

Analysis: I’m a little surprised in this one. I think Bergfors is the best player in the deal and better than Dvorak. With Atlanta in more playoff contention than Florida, I thought they wouldn’t get rid of him. In 2010-11, Bergfors has 11 goals and 18 assists, compared to Dvorak’s 7 goals and 14 assists. Dvorak, who was a first line player in Florida, playing with David Booth and former Oiler Marty Reasoner, has not lived up to his potential this season and is on the downside of his career.

And I’m sticking to it – 15 minutes of fame with Jim and Geoffrey

Monday, January 3rd, 2011

It’s Monday morning and that means that it’s a new episode of 15 Minutes of Fame.

This week, Jim and Geoff talk about the Edmonton Oilers and the loss of Ryan Whitney, their leading point-getter and their best defenseman. Then Geoff and Jim debate the successes and the failures of the Winter Classic in Pittsburgh this week.

In this week’s GABBYs on the good side: Dustin Byfuglien’s scoring prowess, Tiger Woods’ cash haul and Canada’s success at the Spengler Cup.
On the bad side: PETA’s anger with Nate Robinson, Yao Ming and the NBA all-star game and Brett Favre’s career.

In Quick Hits: Dwayne Roloson is traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning, did Steve Yzerman steal him away from the New York Islanders? The University of Connecticut women’s basketball team ends its consecutive wins streak.
