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.

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

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? :)

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...

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'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...

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.

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.

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

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.

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...

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/

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...

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:

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........

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

The best defense of all time against the best offense of all time. Who do you think wins? Remember, the Bears had a pretty good running back you may have heard of as well - Walter Payton.

Can't sleep so I was flicking through the sports channels overnight and I found one never ending theme playing! All the Toronto media sports shows were discussing who would go first, the GM or the coach. Well, what do you guys think? Who will they sack first if anyone? I have a feeling tht...

OK, so who's winning this weekend???? Jags vs Pats (This is probably the only team in the NFL that could put an end to the Pats perfect season. They are tough and nasty and can control the clock with their run offence, should be a good game.) Chargers vs. Colts (The Colts better come to...

So, many of the sports call in shows and TV shows are saying that TO is looking to move Sundin to 'build for the future' Anybody believe he is gone? Personally I think he will ask to get traded to a contender so he has a reasonable shot at Lord Stanley before he retires :thumbsup

So, I was on tsn.ca a few minutes ago, and sure enough, the lead story is about the Leafs. Nothing exciting, really..here it is: http://tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=227520&hubname= So then I realized that in the entire article, there's not a single mention of the fact that the Leafs actually...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=YIIG9JleUFE How's this for a goal by Rick Nash:thumbsup

So Crosby gets hurt tonight suffering a high ankle strain (4-6 weeks) and most of the talk I'm hearing is about lost league revenues???? WTF is that?? I don't even like Sid the whiney baby but it's just not right that the initial concern is for lost revenue as opposed to the player himself...

BRRR. Will the NY Giants turn into midgets? http://www.wunderground.com/US/WI/Green_Bay.html

Dont kill the messenger.:-) January 15 vs. Bloomington Jr. High School Girls 22 vs. Cub Scout Troop #101 29 vs. CNIB Senior Team February 5 vs. Spanish-American War Vets 12 vs. Crippled Children's Hospital

Sent to me by a DIE HARD MAPLE LEAFS FAN! I think he has thrown in the towel for this season :laughing: I knew he was fairly intelligent, and now he has proven that to me!:-)

It was a good game, and the Pats did what teams of destiny do - they win when they have no business winning. Kevin Faulk is the game MVP in my opinion, what amazing clutch third down catches. San Diego showed a lot of guts, but ultimately you can't settle for field goals against this team. Too bad...

With all of these poor efforts of late, I'm really starting to wonder if John Paddock is the right coach for the Sens. Their defensive play is pathetic this year, and the PK and PP is well below their normal levels, and the lads seem to be lacking passion on the ice. Paddock was given the keys...

John Ferguson Jr Finally gone!! Fletcher as their interim general manager. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=227906&hubname= http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Hockey/NHL/Toronto/2008/01/22/4786917-cp.html

So, the NHL finally gets a chance to prove once and for all whether it is serious about cracking down on dangerous hits. Kovalchuk laid out Michael Roszival with a vicious hit from behind last night. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFXOhELnsAE Roszival did not have the puck, did not turn as...

So, the NHL announced some additions to the All-Star lineup, to replace injured players. Among the additions was Scott Niedermayer. Really? The guy who sat out for 3 months of the season. Ya, he's a great player, but he's played 17 games. Give it to someone who's earned it this year. There...

So, who do you think will come around for the Sens and be the #1 goalie to take us into the playoffs? I have a feeling it will be Gerber. :thumbsup

He bites the gonads off a lamb? Did he at least have mint jelly? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22854935/

Not sure if this is exclusively on Bell Express Vu, but we get the US Fox feed tonight with all the US commercials. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

So TSN are reporting that Ray Emery was late for practice today and that the coach was furious and sent him back to the hotel. Is this the end of Emery in Ottawa? or with Gerber's less than stellar season so far, do they have to keep him around? What should they do?

Nice Try, Nogoalov

Anybody else think that Tyree's catch should go down as the best ever (especially given the timing)?

I'm cheap and rather than spending my money renting the event and sitting at home watching it, I'd rather go out and watch it at a bar and at least spend the money on some pints. Anyone know of any bars in Ottawa that show it, preferably in 100's of inches of HD goodness? I'm thinking Local...

So the Trade deadline is quickly coming up. Anyone think there will be any block buster trades this year? I'm not convinced Sundin will be gone, I think the fans would be too ******. I have a feeling they will resign him. I do think that Redden will be dealt though, somehow they are going...

So, I love the concept of hockey day in Canada. I've been waiting for about two weeks to see the Sens play the Canadiens today (the game earlier in the week wasn't televised). So, I go to turn on my TV, and low and behold, I get to watch the Battle of Alberta. What the Hell? What happened to...

I saw this topic on another forum, and although it's two years away, let's hear who you think will be on the 2010 Canadian Olympic hockey team. Shoe-ins and maybes, let's hear them. (Bold are sure picks) Goalies: This could be interesting. Personally, I think Brodeur will be gone before...

Why don't they play the Super Bowl on Saturday night instead of Sunday? Tradition? There would be a lot less people calling in sick on Monday morning and people could let "more loose" on a Saturday night.

did anyone else see the clip of this? Thank goodness he's ok.

Ryan O'Byrne and Tom Kostopoulos were arrested by Tampa Police last night, accused of stealing a womans purse LOL I guess Gainey needs to pay them better! :-) http://tsn.ca/news_story.asp?ID=229398&hubName=main

can anyone tell me why we are so bad?and also why the rangers think lundquist is the answer?

OK guys and girls, Here is our first annual Super Bowl Pool. These are the rules: 1) Pick the winner of the game 2) Guess the total score of the game.
