Personally I think it's a great move on their part. Lalime has shown in the past that when the pressure mounts, he looses his cool. Hasek is a proven winner and over the past 10 years has been one of the top three goaltenders in the league. What do you all think?

:thumbsup Just wondering if any members are going to the live MMA event in hull Palaise de Congress Sat evening. I went to the one this winter and i was impressed, My friend runs a Martial arts club near Bayshore if anyones ever interested in taking up this crazy sport :blackeye: www.ronin-mma.com...

If your bored with normal TV and are looking for something a little different to watch on Saturday night , The UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) has a steller fight card on PPV this coming weekend. If you don`t mind A bit of violence and some mixed matial arts , you gota see this sport to...

I am the only one who has mixed feeling about sending pros to the Olympics? :confused I know the Olympics is all about the $ now (as with all pro sports)... However, why is it OK to send pros for hockey, basketball and baseball (?) but not for the other sports/athletes... For instance, "pro"...

Speculation is that the deal is worth $13 million. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=170030&hubname=

Too bad. It was a great story, and even though I'm not a flames fan, I was certainly interested in how this was playing out. I didnt' realise that they had an agreement that he would not be sent to the minors if he had not made the team. In fact, TSN is stating that he actually had to be considered...

OK, I like Ovechkin, but after the hit tonight, I think he has to be suspended. He is a bit too reckless out there. Superstar or not, he needs to be sent a message by the league. I hope he is not seriously injured, but if he is, it is all his own fault.

Clouston just announced that Spezza has, "a serious right knee injury". He is having an MRI at 3:30 this afternoon which will give a better idea of how long he is out. I know he has not had a very good start, but he has started to score as of late, and he is still the team's number 1 centre. I...

Well, that was an interesting game last night. I guess it happens and perhaps should not read too much into it, but if Alfie is out for any length of time, combined with the loss of Spezza, then this could be a very rough stretch for the Sens, and perhaps even a season defining stretch. Here's...

FYI, the 1:00 pm game in Boston is available in the Ottawa region for free on SensTV on the Sens' website. There is no local TV coverage for this game. Something to do while at work....

A fighter who no longer fights. Other than the timing, no big surprise... http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=307080

Christoph Shubert did not make the German Olympic hockey team. 6 other NHL players and 1 from the AHL did. A bit of an ego shot to a guy who always seemed to have a bit of an inflated sense of worth in my opinion.

For all you Ottawa folks out there who go to ScotiaBank Place and cheer for the Leafs and/or Les Habs - one question: who is in the playoffs ?

What do you think is going to go down tomorrow....it should be one hell of a day

So not sure if you have all seen it yet, but this happened yesterday. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAoFY0owFXc&feature=player_embedded As a hockey fan and former coach, I find this hit to be absolutely disgusting and unnecessary. If this was the first time, it would...

After another solid season (and another disappionting playoff run), who should take the blame?

Here's a new one.... We start with #1 and name a jersey worn by an (or former) NHL player in order; I guess I'll start :-) #1 Craig Billington (Ottawa Senators) Lets's hear it hockey buffs..........

Credit to tsn.ca for the following: Some of the rule changes that will take effect for the 2005-06 NHL season: - Allowing the two-line pass (no red line) like international hockey;

What are the Senators going to do with this kid? So far, he has 8 points in the pre-season in 3 games while playing on a line with Spezza (10 points) and Heatley (8 points). He played on a line with Spezza last year in Binghamton and scored 70 points. Last night, he had a hat trick against the...

I'm a huge Sens fan but this is just too funny! http://eod.liquidviewer.com/wgr-od/wgr/20070507_ottawa.wma

Would anyone have predicted a 5-0 shut out to the Leafs? Toronto is the last place team and they score 3 goals in the first period. Of course 4 penalties in the first period didn't help the Senators. I was in disbelief. :biting:

Anyone know of any tv coverage or online streaming of the pre-season game tonight? It's on Leafs TV but that's blocked in the Ottawa region.

I'm sticking with the SENS as they rebuild but, they gotta rid of GONCHAR and KUBA. These 2 are the laziest, most useless defence we have. I wouldn't want them mentoring our young guys - they're certainly not role models. Neither one of them wants to get hit or hit anyone else. No effort, no heart...

:laughing: Now I'm going to draw some flak about this, but, once again the leafs are..NOT going to the playoffs.....As a diehard red wing fan, perhaps the leaf faithful can get a petition together and oust Ferguson and the rest of the dead wood, get better scouting and hopefully win the cup before...

Wopster had a great thread about being lucky to see some great historical sports moments, and I thought I'd start a thread to see what people's favourite sports memories in general are. I've been lucky enough to see in person a lot of great sports moments, teams and stars. I saw the Oilers in...

Dan, It's been 7 long years, but tomorrow Marco makes things right. Sorry Dan, but Marco is on a mission to finish off what his knees denied him. It's destiny. At least I hope it is.

Had to post this. Kovalev, WE MISSED YA! :-)

Any predictions? Italy looks strongest to me at this point, but once you get to the final four it's a crapshoot. I'm predicting Italy, but pulling for France because of Zizou. The man is incredible, on the verge of retirement he has played two of the very best games of his career against...

What's the deal with Lamoriello? Too lazy to coach the regular season, only likes to coach the playoffs? I guess they were in a mini-slump, they'd only won 4 of their last 5 and are sitting in the #2 playoff spot. Wonder what the heck is going on there. ...

I know it's only the home run contest, but good Lord! Were any of those moonballs under 450 feet? Unbelievable!

Not a whole lot of news yet, but Mucks fired, Murray the GM and will look for a new coach. http://tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=211178&hubname=

I'm a Dolphin's fan, so outside of Jason Taylor it's not looking too pretty this year for my team, but the league itself looks like it could be in for one of the most competitive seasons in years. All the top teams have huge question marks. The Pats just lost Seymour and Harrison, and Moss has...

I guess this was sort of inevitable as the Paris Hilton generation hits the professional sports ranks, but wow. :eek:

Definitely a weird one this year for me. My favourite team is the Dolphins (admitting you have a problem is the first step :P ) and my favourite college team is Michigan. This group of players from Michigan has frustrated the heck out of me for 4 years, always the promise of a national...

Anyone else pumped for the Euros? This tournament usually produces much more competitive football than the World Cup, a team really has to earn their way in. Unless you're Switzerland or Austria that is. :P Anyway, cheering for the Netherlands but secretly hoping Spain will do well, they are the...

It's a viral ad for gatorade, but still.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SqJz0NgnnE

From some youth hockey promotion in Boston, they tape 1 on 1 type set ups and show them at Bruins games. This one is pretty incredible, but my favourite part is the reaction of the goalie after he gets beat. Universal sign language for WTF? :laughing: The scary thing is the kid who scores is...

I loved watching him play, such a physical beast, but not one dimensional at all. I think he had at least a couple seasons where he scored 20+ goals. I met him a few times back when I was in university, his mom worked at the same office I did in the summer (Adam Graves' mom actually worked there...

An 18 year old has just been convicted of manslaughter after pile driving a player head first into the ground during a skirmish that happened away from the play during a High school match. Manny Castillo was just 15 years old & the accused was 16 at the time of the incident. The Castillo family did...

15 years - That is absurd

If you don't count bonus money, who are the top 10-15 players in the NHL who currently make under 1M/season. Crosby, Malkin, Ovechkin, Peter Budaj... Anyone have a good website with all the NHL player salaries?

I need to dump 1 defensemen Goals are worth 2 points assists are 1 point Which ONE of these guys would you dump?? Kimmo Timonen - PHI Tomas Kaberle - TOR

for the rest of the season. Thats what you get for running up the score last season punk!

I will put in 4 dozen high end slightly used golf balls (srixons, taylormade TP reds, blacks, hogan apex tour, prov1s.. you can pick from what i have) to anyone who can tell me who will meet in the stanley cup final and how many games the series will go and who will win the cup. The cost to enter...

i guess tiger is happy someone is taking all the attention away from him. I wonder where king james will end up??
