And well, Jean, back to the trade desk you go...
TSN opens up the hour with their Reporters panel, over on Sportsnet it's Bob McCown who predicts the end of this Deadline Day madness, with most GM's perhaps making their huge trades prior to the deadline day, making these marathon sessions the thing of a slumber party.
We shift from Bob McCown to the Sportsnet Strategy room, where we retrace the trades of yore, the fact we're talking about the New York Islanders and Kate Smith singing tells you how far back into the history books we've gone..
Don Cherry's ears just perked up, they're talking fighting in the Strategy room... Rock Em, Sock Em, Trade Em...
on Twitter, Raffi Torres to Vancouver is actually a working topic, wonders never cease...
David Shoalts must like the idea of water boarding as well...
Ah from Sportsnet, the much anticipated Puck Daddy Mike Milbury rankings
Hannan trade Two Milbury's

Ah the answer to the question above
Sportsnet takes a break from the non stop trading carnage to bring in Hazel May, who reviews last night's Blue Jays loss.
And after that brief interlude, we return to the key issue of the day, watching how many NHLers seem to be timing the birth of their children for the trade deadline... Talk about your labour troubles...
James Duthie takes TSN to commercial with the hope that the final hour will bring momentum, offering up the thought of the day that it's been "an extremely slow trade deadline so far". As the kids might say. Word...
Sportsnet dials up the Pacific desk, wondering if Mike Gillis is feeling any pressure, hearing the criticisms. Suggesting he must be anxious to make a trade. They wish...
Next up they bring in Wayne Gretzky to offer up some review of the atmosphere around deadline day.
TSN brings in Mike Milbury, who offers up the Zinger of the day,
James Duthie: "Is your phone ringing Mike?"
Mike Milbury: "It's as dead as your show is today"
Thank you, thank you, they're here all day.
