So will they have to put "RICK NASH" and "RILEY NASH" on the jerseys?

shocking....

In Toronto is mostly where the Leafs get shafted by the refs!
That said, goal should never have counted.

Don Sweeney and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day strikes again! Terrible trade for Nash & signing Brian Gionta is the cherry on top. Didn't pick up the piece they actually needed on defense to spell some of Chara's minutes. Dont like any of Dealin Don's moves today.

it will all depend on how Nash gels with Krejci but overall no reason to trade for Nash.

salty pens fans butt hurt because if the rangers didn’t beat them twice in the playoffs when they “should have won” they might have 3 or 4 cups now and be a dynasty in the crysby lurch era now............not so much

do you really want some pics of gionta.. ??

really,. i can deal with overpaying for nash,, but wtf is the point of gionta

edit * if Clode was here he'd be on the first line today, what with his veteran presence and all..**

Lol, it’s just depth. He’s here to be the emergency 13th forward that gets scratched every night. I’d be surprised if he plays 5 games

Black ace bud.
Nothing more.
His buds JP and JL got him a spot.

Boston would have been better off picking up E Kane instead of Nash and Gionta...I don't get it....I think Kane would have been a great fit with the Bruins in the playoffs....Fast, Scores, Tough, .... not getting great speed or toughness with Nash and Gionta

It's almost as if The Don was going all in for the 2008 Stanley cup.
It's gonna be fine.

well as a Ranger fan I am thrilled with what we got total for Nash and Holden, I can't even believe it to be honest with you.

But, Nash is a great guy, teammates love him, and team's that he is on win playoff series, they just do.

that trade was anything but well done..... way over payment for a guy that is producing less points per game than spooner.
- systemtool

trying to look at the bright side, Boston is a infinitely a better place to play than NYR for the foreseeable future. Gives him a chance to play for a cup which will hopefully light a fire under his ass.

-Spooner is a watered down version of Nugent-Bustkins. Both are soft as puppy poo and equally as worthless.
-Beleskey is hot trash on skates.
-Late 1st round pick, things you give up when playing for a cup (not that you would know)
-Lindgren Bruins are deep in D prospects.
-7th Rounder, who honestly cares. To demonstrate the value, the Bruins once got whats left of Wade Redden from STL for a 7th.

I don't love Nash but I have zero issue with what was given up.

Meh about the same really. Gionta is depth move. Nothing to see here.

Guess not.

can you imagine what the trade for McDonagh would look like?

pretty sure they weren't adding a personality like that to a tight lockerroom

Are you simply confused because it looks like the B's gave up a lot or just blind? What in Spooner or Beleskey was lost? What does a 7th rounder actually net you? They cleared salary and gave up a 1st and prospect for Nash.

Gionta is a vet minimum depth move as the schedule is March is about to get real busy. What has Chara done this season to continue your irrational hatred of him?

played some of his best hockey in years? and Bill is a major Spooner guy so he's hurting a bit.

13th forward.


SO STUPID!!!!!!

So...

Vatrano --- Gionta
Postma --- Holden
Spooner --- Nash

Seems like an upgrade at every position there to me

I guess he likes to watch soft forwards get bounced off of the puck, and contribute nothing unless it's the power play?
