didn't see this coming, but haven't been following the Red Wings much

Nick Jensen had been pretty good. Probably has taken his spot. Smith is coming back from injury also.

Super hard gwg

Leafs claim Marchenko

Corrado on waivers

Riberio cleared.

Nashville said teams are interested, but wanted him to clear waivers first. Not sure what that means or how that benefits Nashville.

maybe makes him more valuable that he's cleared waivers?

So that he can be kept in minors til they need depth to call him up?

Starting tonight all goalies will be wearing smaller pants. So guys like Mike smith who used to wear pants 3 times too big for themselves may have off nights

He's on my bench so I don't care.

Weird they would start this mid season

^agreed. I think its bullshit to not have an offseason to accommodate being a goalie.

Any idea what goalies are affected by this?

It was meant to be in place to start the season, but the goalies whined or something and it got delayed. The goalies have had the pants for months and some are all ready using them. It's not the end of the world.

Trade: #Preds acquire forward Vernon Fiddler from @NJDevils for a 4th-round pick in 2017


Edit: I wish I knew how to imbed tweets.

Must be replacing Ribeiro with Fiddler

Yep. The goalies have been huge babies about something relatively minor. This was supposed to be in place in the offseason and goalies have been dragging their feet. Once the player safety was okay with them and signed off they were putting them in as early as possible. The goalies knew it was going to be in place on Feb. 4th and some goalies have been using these since the beginning of the season (or at least, very early in to the season).

I know a guy like Dubnyk and Smith are just making the change now. I see that article points out a few names that have been wearing them too. On top of that, I've heard you can actually form these pants so that they are actually wider than the original or something. So..

A goalie that is 5'10 190lbs should not be able to wear the same size equipment as a goalie that is 6'5 220lbs.

Claude Julien fired.
