Pogge could have counted how many days he lived in Anaheim before being traded again.
After being acquired over the summer from Toronto, Pogge did not even see action with the Ducks before being dealt at the deadline. It was pretty clear that the Ducks would want Pogge for next season to battle for the backup job with prospect Timo Pielmeier after trading J.S. Giguere to Toronto just a few weeks ago. Vesa Toskala was acquired in the trade, but his contract will be up at the end of the season and was unlikely to re-sign with Anaheim. Pogge's .920 save percentage with the San Antonio Rampage of the AHL this season shows how impressive he truly can be.

Erik Cole has been brought back to the only team he has ever really wanted to know.
Cole was traded one year ago today from Carolina for Edmonton's Jani Pitkanen. The trade saw Pitkanen play solid defense for the Hurricanes, but things did not go so well for the Oilers' end of the bargain. Cole registered just 16 goals in 63 games with Edmonton, before being traded back to Carolina for Patrick O'Sullivan as part of a three-way deal with Los Angeles. Cole added two more goals with Carolina in 17 games, but the real story was the resurgence of Canes' captain Eric Staal with Cole on his line.

Welcome everyone to my first post here on the hockey blogs! I know I am a Floridian, but hockey certainly runs through my veins. Today, I will first be talking about the Eastern Conference. And...how about them Bruins! They look like the team they were when the season started. I was a bit concerned about them in the middle of the season, I mean after all they lost to the Panthers and the Lightning in one road trip. I did not think they were contenders when the playoffs started, but I am starting to rethink that now. Their power play gives me nightmares. Bruins in sweep, I say.

With the NHL, that’s National Hockey League, season well underway now might be an appropriate time to give the league and its’ games a few props. Growing up in central North Carolina in the seventies and eighties with the closest ice rink 90 long miles away, I really did not know much about hockey other than knowing it was played on ice with some sort of stick. Of course for most people my generation that all changed with the now very familiar and publicized performance of Team USA at the 1980 Lake Placid Winter Olympics. Still the magnitude, or should I say miracle, of that event did not pay long lasting dividends for future interest in the sport in southern states.

My favorite hockey team did something last night they seldom do. Beat Carolina in Carolina.
RALEIGH, N.C. - Nathan Horton had a goal and an assist and the Florida Panthers beat Carolina 4-3 on Friday night to prevent the Hurricanes from clinching the Southeast Division.
