Tick Tock, we're on the sloooooow moving clock. (Noon to 1 PM ET, 9 -10 AM PT)

And for those that slept in, congratulations, a wise decision, you haven't missed much.

To recap, Mikka Kiprusoff won't be leaving Calgary, rumours as to his potential retirement marked the last hour.

And that's about it...

Wait, late breaking news, Roberto Luongo has.... arrived at Rogers Arena.

The Trade Deadline watch is shifting, we're now anxiously awaiting the pick ups off the waiver wire, I sense a new feature for the sports options, Waiver madness...

I sense that the 30 league GM's joined together in secret conclave, this lack of trade action is just their little inside joke...

This just in from Montreal...



It's been a while since we took Grade 10 French, but we believe this means that Carey Price is not on the trading block today... Just a guess..

How is Ryan Miller not listed as trade bait, Buffalo who seem to be waving the white flag these days could gain some great pick ups for him and Miller could use a change of scenery as well...

For those wondering how the morning went, Bruce Arthur has the recap...


Big news out of Switzerland, a changing of the guard... we imagine the Strategy room is working this story as we speak..

Ooooh a Trade

TSN outlines the details

A minor league deal is consummated between the Bruins and Black Hawks, Maxime Sauve is moving to Chitown for Rob Flick, the discussion is short on the merits of that blockbuster.

And Sportsnet goes back to the Strategy Room, where baseball players offer up praise for Iron Mike Keenan and throw a few questions to him...

Sportsnet's Bob McCown turns on his twitter feed


He will no doubt expand on this further when he joins the Sportsnet conclave shortly...

TSN in the meantime wraps up their interview with Ryan Clowe, now appearing on Broadway...

And finally a tangible trade report

Sportsnet offering up that Scott Hannan is off to San Jose, details apparently still to come..



For those following at home, that's Sportsnet 1, TSN 0 on name brand trading.. somehow they haven't confirmed the Hannan move to San Jose...

Though to be fair, Pierre LeBrun did  make mention of the possibilities earlier in the hour.




"Most of the action usually happens in the last couple of hours" James Duthie, explaining or wishing, you decide...

And for your viewing pleasure Mike Milbury is back on TSN, offering up his observations on the state of events in Calgary...

Meanwhile over on the internet, Nick Kypreos advises that we should be watching the Jersey shore very carefully in the next two hours...



Gord Miller interrupts things to advise that Florida has made a trade with the Oilers, with Jerred Smithson leaving the beaches of South Florida destined for Oil Country, Florida gaining a fourth round pick in exchange. 

Oh and by the way, Pierre LeBrun reminds his TSN team mates that the Hannan trade took place...


LOL, ah confusion reigns on Sportsnet as they find that live television and live radio sometimes don't quite work out in sync...

TSN meanwhile makes the year for Rob Flick, part of the minor league trade that registers as the first trade of the day, hopefully someone has made a copy for the Flick's to keep in the family archives.
