Yestreday it all started with “TradeCentre” trending on Twitter. For those who are don’t follow the NHL closely, “TradeCentre” refers to a TSN special event that keeps people updated about every move made on and before NHL Trade Deadline Day.

The NHL trade deadline past at 3 p.m. today. It was a big day for the 2011-12 NHL season as no trades can happen for the remainder of the season. As one of the most anticipated days in regard to the NHL, many teams try to make last minute trades with hopes of coming out on top in the near Stanley Cup playoffs. However, for many teams leaving trades to the last minute may be a risky move. According to fans it was a disappointing day as there were only 16 trades made today.

  1. I like to think that because there were a couple trades with my team (Tampa) that it means we have the best players, and everyone wants them.

    I wish you could do an entry on Snooki being pregnant! hahaha
