good as traded.

No more Poni rides. The stable is closed.

Dammit Chemmy!

GDT?

@DarrenDreger No trade YET for Ponikarovsky, but he has been pulled to ensure his health.

Kypreos on twitter announcing something that hasn’t been common knowledge for several hours

Guys I saw on Sportsnet Connected earlier that Poni left practice with what appeared to be a knee injury. No word on how serious it is, but from the video he looked to be very frustrated leaving the ice.
