The NHL's Trade Deadline has passed and the Team's that have improved their stock on their way to what they think is the "Fight for Lord Stanley". The Teams as we go to press that in the Bluedude's Estimation that have a legit shot at "Throwing Pucks at the L.A. Kings Throne"...Blackhawks, Mighty Ducks, Pens, Habs, and Bruins. Now with that being said who is going after it at least through the Trade Deadline 2K13?

Pittsburgh PENS...they add Top Shelf #TeamAARP and Leaders off the Ice who still have some Ice Time left in Defensemen Brrenden Morrow (pictured right) and Douglas Murray. Then they go get Calgary Flames Royalty in Center Jarome Iginla to add toughness and Vet Ice Games know how. With the Pens right behind the Hawks with the 2nd Best record in Ice Games...they have fortified the Fort and the East will most likely go through the 'Burgh and the Big VOLT of Energy...the New Console Center. The Pens also add on the last day as the Trade Deadline Clock struck 12...Forward Jussi Jokinen from the 'Canes as "Sid the Kid" Crosby is out indefinitely with that Broken Jaw.

Boston BRUINS...sitting right there 4th in the East and a game back of the #2 in the East...the Habs and ready to make a deep run in the "Fight for Lord Stanley" the Bruins made hay Today as they made three deals happen in their Favor with one of the three happening yesterday. Bruins add F Jaromir Jagr and Rob Flick while going on Defense today with Defensemen Wade Redden from the St. Blues. Bruins are right there and expect them and the Habs as well as the Pens to battle it out for the East.

Montreal CANADIANS...leading the Northeast Division over the Bruins by a game and they have been adding slowly but all along to make their run.  They went with Net Minder Dustin from the Lightning early on. Then Mychal Ryder from the Stars a Forward was added along with Defenseman Davis Drewiske from the defending World Champion Kings. Habs trying to add quality Depth to their Net and Defense.

Other Teams making moves...

Washington Capitals added four forwards as they are looking at improving in that area.

Columbus Blue Jackets also add Scoring and three forwards as well.

Mighty Ducks added two forwards and a center as they try to add more punch with beating the Hawks among others in Winning Time.

The Top Three Winners are obviously the Pens, Bruins, and Habs as they are all in the Position unlike others to get to the "Fight for Lord Stanley". The Hawks need not make any changes as the old cliche comes to play..."If it's not broke...don't fix it".
