Happy Trade Deadline Day

So I still feel like complete crap after last night's thrashing at the hands of the Detroit Red Wings. Not a fun night. But this blog train keeps a rolling all day long with the traded deadline approaching at 2 p.m. St. Louis time.
Pronger Rumors Squashed
Chris Pronger, a cigar, the Stanley Cup...and Sugar Ray?
Apparently, Chris Pronger is not moving today if you believe Canadian media. No word on if Ducks fans are going to burn his furniture for staying. So that was a fun couple days dredging up all the hard feelings over his departure from St. Louis while the franchise was up for sale. But judging by our informal poll yesterday on the site, most Blues fans didn't want to see a promising young player leave for the big defenseman anyway. And you never know, Pronger may be back on the block this summer or at next year's deadline, most likely at a cheaper price.
Trade News
Boss, my TPS reports might be a little late today.
Say you want to follow what's going on during this trade deadline day (like monkey boy Pascal Leclaire getting shipped to Ottawa), we've got another destination for you. The SB Nation hockey blogs will be posting stories with trade news and reaction all day. Go to the trade page and read a bunch of stories. The day will fly by.
We'll have more soon here at Game Time.

yay!!!! Thanks Brad!
I’ll camp out here while watching TSN.ca streaming video. I took a day off, and after a trip to the corner bakery I’m all set.

I owes you a beer. In my little war room I’ve got the work computer I’m using to stay busy. I’ve got the wife’s lap top next to me on the right. I’ve got NHL Network on mute waiting for NHL Live at 11 a.m.
I love today. And I love Bob McKenzie who is reporting that Jokinen is going to Calgary, but deal isn’t done yet.

I'm skipping out on my office hours....
….the little punks will have to write their papers without my help.
Why isn’t this a national holiday yet? Hell, I’d settle for having the trade deadline coincide with St. Patrick’s day.
Shit. I think that is a really good idea.

No Announcements for almost an hour
So I reckon we can officially say that the trade market is closed. San Jose and Boston made some moves, getting a little deeper and tougher for the playoffs. PHX blew up their team, apparently giving up this season but making some remarkable progress in the long-term view. Calgary made some major moves as well, including adding Olli Jokinen.
Not as many big splashes as past trade deadline days, but still better than if I had gone to work.

Life is relevant. You can put your hands on a hot stove and a fraction of a second seems like hours. Yet you can put your hands on a hot woman and hours seem to turn into seconds.
