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...

Helo, Anyone here know of any Ottawa local indoor soccer rec leagues that would still have room for a team? I am trying to get a team placed somewhere fore co ed rec play and no luck finding a spot for this fall/winter if you know please let me know Thanks Paul

http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Hockey/NHL/Ottawa/2007/08/14/4416991-sun.html interesting news.

Now this doesn't sound too good for Sens fans. Hasek is hurt, said his Olympic games might be over. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/wire?section=oly&id=2331519 Hopefully this does not carry over when the NHL returns to action.

If anyone does, I'm in. I prefer snake drafts because I can put my hockey smarts to use... but I'm to lazy to set it up

Just read on TSN that John Paddock has been fired as the coach. He was offered another position and will take a couple of weeks to think it over.

Who should win the Rocket trophy this year? Sid at 51 in 81 games? Stamkos at 51 in 82 games with a poor team? Ovy with 50 in 72 games with NHL power house team? I think Stamkos should win it considering the team, his age. Should also be considered the come back player of the year. Mike

Keenan to Calgary.:rolleyes How about that?

Any listeners of Jim Rome? Been listening for a bit...Think he is kind of an idiot but he tells it like it is! still think this is one of the funniest moments in sports talk TV http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HNgqQVHI_8

This guy will never learn... complete idiot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E43SJB5wGCs He looks around to make sure the zebra are not watching him and he hits Thomas. Then he knows that Thomas will come after him so he looks back... IDIOT...

Holy sheep **** Martha, it blew me away to find out that Bobby Orr turned 60 today! WOW, it seems like just a few years ago (I guess its a few decades) he was the best in the NHL..... God I feel old all of a sudden :rolleyes

Did anyone here see the Souray-McCarty fight from last night? McCarty got cut really bad over the right eye and when I watched the replay, it looked very much like Souray intentionally hit McCarty with that hard brace he wears on his left forearm. Specifically, he hit him with the leading edge of...

If not, watch the highlights, you won't believe your eyes

Stay the course, or make the switch? :scratchch

Did you guys here about the freak of nature that stepped on the ice during the Montreal Canadians practice yesterday?:hyper: This guy was ready to play in a bear league game after the Habs practice in Verdun. He jumped on the ice, grabbed the puck and shot on Huet. Everyone stopped on the...

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

Chicago picked up Rios off waivers yesterday. No compensation was paid to Toronto. Are the owners trying to strip the team of all of its assets? One can only assume that to be the case given that they will not commit to reinvesting the salary savings in next year's roster. It's not surprising...

A guy who many said was unstoppable in the Elite XC was knocked out 15 seconds in the 1st round by Seth Petrazelli. I feel sorry for the people who paid alot for tickets to see this! Kimbo was set to fight Ken Shamrock tonight but durring warm-ups Ken was cut above the eye and was unable to...

With the season now officially over, I need to do something to encourage some hockey talk. Sooooooo I'm interested in hearing who your All Time starting 6 players would be. Rules are easy.......Anyone who ever played the game is eligible to be considered BUT you can only nominate one player...

I can't beleive it!! Alexander Ovechkin in a charity golf tourney, borrowed some clubs as this was his first ever game of golf, looks like he fans on a couple of swings at the ball, hits it on the 3rd swing, and GETS A HOLE IN ONE!!! UnBelievable....I wonder if he's going to take up the game now.

Hell hath no furry like a woman scorned.......... http://www.nationalenquirer.com/carrie_underwood_war_husband_mike_fisher/celebrity/69183

Whether you are a Sens fan or not, it is a major accomplishment to play 1000 games in NHL, let alone for one team. Drafted 133rd overall in the 6th round of the 1994 draft, he has been the best player of that draft and continues to produce, even at his age. Way to go! Drafted in the first...

The NHLPA announced today that Bob Goodenow is stepping down. See’ya later Bob!! :contract

Sens fans may wish to chech out the following site. Leafs fans too if you like abuse. www.sensunderground.com

I am sitting here watching the TSN NHL Free Agent Frenzy special and they just gave a tid bit of information that I was not aware of and kind of surprised me... The team Salary cap is not just made up of player salaries but also includes any costs incured by the teamleading up to signing the...

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...

Serious question here. Does anybody know how many times Toronto has faced the opponent's backup goalie this year? It seems like quite a few.

All right Jonf. Nadal vs Federer on clay court. I say Nadal just because it is on red clay.. Not because I don't like Federer as he is probably one of the greatest tennis player ever.

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.

Lat night I ended up watching the whole leafs-Sens game and I must say that although I was not totally impressed with the Senators performance, I was pretty impressed with the quality of the game itself. Hardly any icings, tag up offside, no red line. It all made for a fast paced end to end action...

Finally another season of CFL football is upon us, and the Renegades (who host the Grey Cup this year) are looking good against the Bombers so far. I can't get over how that little b@stard Josh Ranek (well, maybe he ain't little, but he's short!) is so tough. Just figured that I'd post...

How many here are CIS hockey fans? For a country that LOVES hockey, why is there not the same interest as America (and Canada) have for their NCAA football? Why do people not follow it? Its not a difficult ticket to get and the games are always great to watch! Its seems like the perfect team to...

Holy Crap

Entertaining, yes, but has anyone ever seen such a terrible defensive display? The Sens picked the absolute WORST time to come up with the most gut wrenching, vomit inducing defensive effort of the season. I mean honestly, that was just horrendous defending. No team in the NHL should be giving...

Who do you think should carry the flag in the closing ceremony? My suggestion is Joannie Rochette for exempifying Olympic spirit. I would have suggested Clara Hughes for becoming an truly great Olympian (only 4 other athletes have ever earned Summer and Winter medals and she is the only...

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...

Game 1 in the books. It took them 2 periods to warm up but they took it over in the 3rd!!!!! Go Sens Go!!!!

After watching the Nashville Dallas game the other night, and not to mention all of the sportsnews orgs are talking about it, I think the NHL made 2 decisions that were correct but got 1 wrong in the worst sense. Tootoo got 5 games for protecting himself, don’t kid yourself either because...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cIbx_u44G0 greatest captain in NHL history. eat that Crosby. :Canadian

The sad part of all this is that Graham James is still coaching youth hockey but now In Europe. :rolleyes:rolleyes:rolleyes http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/rumors/post/Theo-Fleury-abused-by-Graham-James?urn=nhl,195030

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:

Team Canada Baby!!!!!!!!!!!!

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...

So it's looking like an easy victory for Roger at the US Open (knock on wood). If he wins the Australian, that's all four in a row. Pretty awesome!!!!! :not-worth:not-worth:not-worth:not-worth:not-worth:not-worth:not-worth:not-worth:not-worth:not-worth:not-worth

Who would be interested in a hockey pool this season? This hockey pool is not like other pools. You would have a live online draft set on a specific day and the pool needs weekly online attention. This is a resumé of how it works: Every team picks 16 players and that would be: 2 centers 2 RW...

One of the announcers for the Fiesta Bowl and BCS championship game is Charles Davis. Is this the same guy on the Grey Goose 19th Hole show broadcast on the Golf Channel? Just curious.

I had the chance to go to games on the week-end. Ottawa University and Carleton vs the Louisville Cardinals (with Rick Pitino) and the Lasalle Explorerers. The Ottawa teams surprise the NCAA teams I think. Both Ottawa and Carleton played inspired basketball and competed very well. It was...
