Ovechkin just signed a 13 year - $124 Million contract with Washington :wallbash :wallbash :wallbash :wallbash :wallbash

What do you think of Downie's latest stunt?? Does it warrant a suspension? Personally I think Downie has demonstrated yet again that he has absolutely no regard for his fellow competitors and I'd be for a permanent ban - this dude has no place on the ice........

Who was the genious at CBC that thought Cassie Campbell would make a good color commentator on the Ottawa Telecast? :eek: :eek: :eek: I never thought I would say this but give me Harry back! :rolleyes :biting:

No offence to Sens fans, but I still think that the road to the Stanley Cup goes through the Western Conference. The Rangers who have arguably one of the deepest talent pools in the league, are being outworked and outhustled by the lowly Oilers (14th in the West). It's a totally different game...

Tom Brady won the Associated Press NFL MVP award after being nominated first on 49 of 50 ballots. http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/articles/2008/01/06/brady_cruises_to_mvp_award/

Well that was a decent start for Team Canada at the World JR's. They were a little shaky in the first period but settled down for the rest of the game. Stamkos sure didn't look like a 17 year old out there! Less penalties would be nice though. It will be interesting to see if Steve Mason gets the...

Well, its official, Ottawa has won its bid to host the World Junior Hockey Championships in 2009. Should be great. Beat out Montreal, Toronto, Calgary/Edmonton, and Saskatoon/Regina.

Alex Pietrangelo has come up with a sound plan for the 2008 NHL draft in Ottawa next June. And though the Niagara IceDogs defenceman was joking, what he said makes sense. Read More

If you missed the Winter Classic game between Buffalo and Pittsburgh check out the videos of the Intros with Don Cherry and the players getting onto the rink, along with the goals in regulation along with the full shootout with Sydney Crosby' goal.

It's now half-time and the Patriots are in a real battle, the outcome of which is far from certain. If the Giants keep playing as they've been doing, they could prevent the Pats from going undefeated. I would not have believed this possible.

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...

All in one nice video package. I just wanted a nice win for the Sens on HNIC instead it turned into a goal fest.

I attended an exhibition game tonight, Team Ontario played Team Russia. No contest. 9-2 for Ontario. Too many penalties for Russia and clearly they were outclassed in this game. The tournament is being held in London, St Thomas and other small cities around this area. I will attend 3...

After the Colt's loss yesterday to the Chargers, there can't be any doubt the the best team in pro football is from New England. Even the oftentimes querulous frequenters of this site must agree with that conclusion. Right? :)

Roger Clements, Andy Petite ,Eric Gagné and the list goes on http://www.tsn.ca/mlb/feature/?fid=11302&hubname=

Not a big fan of Detroit but they sure know how to close out a team in the shootout. Hasek did get lucky on the first save I mean post. Check out the video on my blog.

During the game last night, Chris Simon pulled another idiotic move that they say could cost him between 20 and 30 games. I'm not going to look for a link to the infaction (I wil leave that to PEI :-) ) but hen I saw the replay, it made me sick to my stomach and even Don Cherry asked them not to...

Does Sid fall easily?

NE 16-0 or MIA 0-16??? I will def. be upset if MIA beats pit tonight with this horrible weather :) I would love to see both happen but I would have to say NE going 16-0 seems more likely at this point

This sounds crazy to me. Black steals almost 6mil and gets 6.5 years. Vic kills a few dogs and gets 2 years? Does anyone else think this is much longer than it should have been? This guys career is over. How can you be in jail for 2 years and ever get back into game shape? PS I have...

For those who get the Ottawa Sun, or those who read it. Today you should buy one if you usually dont but it. In todays OS there is a full sports guide called "Sports N Munchies". It is well done and easy to use for those who like quick access to what game is on. :thumbsup 67's, Sens, Leafs,...

What a great year this has been for my team. Guess the Falcons aren't locked into drafting Brian Brohm anymore in the 1st round.

I just heard them say on TV that if everything remains the same, NE gets SFs pick this year and will pick 2nd overall! Its safe to say they won't be taking a QB. What does that team need?

I see that my Cowboys won the NFC East today.:thumbsup :thumbsup :goodvibes :cloud9: :cheers :party My question is, how good do you think this team is compared with: a) Other NFC teams? b) The NFC+AFC-Patriots? c) Patriots in a rematch?

Luongo is an amazing goalie just check out this save from Saturday. Vancouver's record would be as good as it is without him. They did lose in a shootout though, fans were on there feet for the last part of the game.:thumbsup

Will the Pats remain undefeated? If not which team has a possible crack at ending their winning run? Certainly not the Jets nor the dolphins. I don't want this to happen but if it does I am picking the Steelers Sun 11/18/20078:15 PM@BillsSun 11/25/20078:15 PMvsEagles Mon 12/3/20078:30...

If Tebow doesn't win it, it will be one of the biggest shafts in sports history. This kid had one of the top 5 years of all time.

Steve Downie. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=224335&hubname= I don't know how they figured out the math on this one, but apparently he's eligible to play Wednesday night against Minnesota. :confused

Did anyone else watch the selection show? Any thoughts? Should there have been any changes? Personally I don't like the fact the BCS computer program puts so much weight on "losing today". A team with two losses could still make it to a championship game, but a team with 1 loss, because it...

HOT OFF THE PRESS RIGHT HERE BOYS THE LEAFS HAVE MADE SOME MAJOR CHANGES IN THEIR LINEUP. THEY ARE A CONTENDER NOW! PLAN THE PARADE ROUTE IN THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE! CHECK IT OUT!

For those old enough to remember, this guy was was a blast to watch. Yes he was flashy but then he had to be, he was a sideshow. It's amazing he didnt die from one of his many jumps. One of the old boys for sure. He died yesterday in his sleep. He was 69, RIP

i mean real football, not american football? EPL mls??

I can not find the thread where Jeremy Roenick was mentioned. However I do recall some people razing me about the Sharks wasting their money picking him up as a free agent. Some said he would not be good for the team. Well so far that has been proven wrong. He is second in scoring for the...

http://www.the-top-tens.com/lists/greatest-hockey-players-of-all-time.asp Anyone on this list that shouldn't be?? Anyone missing???

Heading to Ottawa in new year going to take in a Senators game, anyone have advise on good seat to purchace at a reasonable price?

I'm watching the Habs - Devils game on RDS tonight and I can't believe the number of empty seats in that building! I didn't realize NJ was having that much trouble attracting fans :rolleyes

Bobby Simpson was not only one the greatest Canadian football players ever to play in the CFL but one of Ottawa's true characters. http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/sports/story.html?id=74da5747-4da1-46ee-8d2f-e83baf0dde06&k=47690

So I'm watching Poker After Dark on Sportsnet the other day, and to my dismay Phil Helmuth is playing. Now I don't know about you guys, but this guy gets on my nerves. I've never seen anyone who likes to listen to his own voice as much as this guy (ok, perhaps Vince McMahon of the WWE is the other...

The following vote is posted on the NHL website. Poor Nik :laughing: Which of the following players is likely to receive the most write-in votes on the All-Star ballot? Total Votes so Far as of 9:30 PM Sunday November 25 24138

The latest odds are Pats -24. Will they or won't they cover that?

Enough is enough! :irked: http://fleecedbytheleafs.blogspot.com/

I'm not a huge fan but is this a stupid rule or what. Will Kevin Glenn be denied? TORONTO -- The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are rolling up their sleeves for a fight they may have to wage with the CFL and a long-standing policy that could deny some players and instrumental personnel -- including QB...

Watching my first hockey game on my new plasma, (leafs - Coyotes) The picture so real it feels like they are playing right in my bedroom. Home all alone (everyones out to the santa clause parade.), snacks by my side and the leafs manage to get down 3-0 in the first period. How long must I...

PLEASE do not have the Ottawa Senators play anymore teams who are less than .500 in the standings :irked: :-) Well ok, yes Toronto is fine

........by the Leafs :lmfao :lmfao :lmfao :lmfao And another 1 game winning streak goes by the boards :-) :P

this is just getting crazy. How a team can be favoured in the NFL over another team by 3tds+ is amazing. Even if they don't go 16-0 they will go down as the greatest team in NFL history!
