I also said I wouldn't offer any trades of my own, but I am on the verge of getting rid of all my old guys for draft picks and prospects. (Note this is coming to mind as I am losing 7-2 to Ottawa)

lol You should trade Hemsky to L.A and complete the trade everyone yapped about all day long trade deadline day

hah

Press Conference October 27, 2010

-With the performance of the team last night it was expected that GM Dominick Bellini would address the media today. His press conference left a lot of people shaking their heads and wondering what exactly he has in store for this team.

"Thank you members of the media for coming out today. I know you have a lot of questions following the game last night, but unfortunately I don't have time to stick around and answer them. After watching the last couple games it is clear that the team we have here is not going to get it done on the ice. My goal coming in here was to bring the Cup to Winnipeg and with this current roster I am not sure it can be done. I will be heading to my office after we finish up here and will not leave it until I feel our roster is set for immediate as well as future success. I have also talked to the coaching staff and unless they can find a way to get this team to play better I will be on the hunt for a new head coach. I know it is early in the season, but if a change is going to be made it will be done early enough for the team to adjust and move forward. I can't tell you the specifics of my plan for this team, but expect some changes by the game in Detroit tomorrow. Thank you again for coming today."

Ekman-Larsson had a pretty nice game.

And nice to see the West Seneca boy Lee Stempniak continue his pace.

Belanger, like hitting two birds with one stone - well done :-) Great finish against TB.
