Puck Daddy Hockey Rumors Live Chat (PuckDaddy)

[rinkrat]

Oh, the high comedy of NHL stars. First, Alex Ovechkin(notes) jokes about being out for a month. Now, J.S. Giguere is pleading "sarcasm" after saying he'd rather be retired than be a backup goalie on the Anaheim Ducks, now saying he isn't trying to force GM Bob Murray's hand.

He'll have that plus news on Peter Forsberg(notes), Michael Nylander(notes), the mess that is the Carolina Hurricanes and other points of scuttlebutt and innuendo in our rumors chat.

Please do join us along with Lyle "Spector" Richardson of Fox Sports and hopefully David "Dave" Pagnotta of The Fourth Period for a special Thursday edition of our live chat at 1 p.m. EST. Bring your questions, bring your speculation and, above all, bring the funny. We'll supply the cynical answers and abrupt shifts in tone.
