It's Now Official! Heatley agrees to 6-year deal with Sens Dany Heatley 10/3/2007 5:22:30 PM Sources tell TSN Dany Heatley has agreed to a 6-year contract extension with the Ottawa Senators believed to average between $7.5 and $8 million per year. Although details of the structure...

so suspension came down today for downie and its 20 games, what you guys think?? I think its a joke of a suspension, the guys not playing in the NHL anyway, so this is like suspending a guy who is retiring, what a complete JOKE! No fine was handed out, and by the sounds of it, its not gonna be a...

Anybody here practice MMA? Interested in getting into this or JiuJitsu but not sure if my 42 year old abused body will take it.

Not much chatter on the football front here this year. This week could be quite interesting. I'm really looking forward to the Lions/Bears game just because Kitna was able to put up over 400 yards this week against the Eagles and he was under pressure all game (7 sacks?) . I know a lot of that...

Gerber looks AMAZING tonight. He has must have faced at least 50 shots by now and he is SOLID. Always square to the play, moving post to post with ease and under controll - this is VERY encouraging :thumbsup :thumbsup

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 know, they aren't the USSR anymore, and does that also take some of the lustre away from this most recent installment of Canada vs. Russia? In '72 they had a much bigger pool to draw from to make it a much more memorable series and more impressive win for Canada. Granted, I wasn't around but...

It will be interesting to see how this court case ends. NEWMARKET -- A former Maple Leafs captain stunk of booze after a horrific car crash that killed his passenger, another former NHL player, a jury was told yesterday..............more

Looks like Murray is earning his wage already. http://tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=218524&hubname= Signing Fisher for $21 over 5 years sounds great to me, i don't have a doubt that Fisher deserves about $4 a year. When you look at guys like Demitra, Lehtinen, Handzus etc. who make the same, i...

Do you guys know of any free or cheap NHL scoring projection sites? I like using these lists as a starting point to make a pick list. I used to rely on magazines but there does not seem to be as many out there this year.

Anyone else watching this? This is one of the saddest displays of basketball I've ever seen. PR is no powerhouse, but Canada looks like they brought a bunch of guys from off the street. Tossing up layups too hard, not even close on other shots. They have a shot to make the route to the Olympics...

The best $4M we've spent in a looooooong time. :laughing: http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Hockey/NHL/Toronto/2007/08/03/4390863-sun.html

Once again , the UFC is showing a their latest PPV this evening (10 est) .:-) The show will star 2 Canadians , Patrick Cote and Georges St.Pierre:Canadian This will be a stellar show throughout and for anyone who has not seen this type of sport before , tune in and you will not be...

You might be a San Jose Sharks fan if....................:-)

what do people think? Love? Hate? Indifferent? http://senators.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=MediaGalleryPlayer&galleryId=2208 I don't mind them but a bit plain though. Still not crazy about that logo though.

Although not hockey related it very well could be! Read more

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

:rolleyes Breeze-by? http://tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=215387&hubname=

What do you think of this signing ? The Ottawa Senators have signed defenceman Luke Richardson to a one-year, two-way contract.

Sens and Emery agree to a deal just minutes before entering arbitration.. Deal is 3 yrs 9.5 million.. Glad to see the deal done!

Apparently he nixed 2 deals via his "no trade" clause. One to go "home" to Edmonton, and another to go to the Sharks. I thought that the feeling was that he wanted to be closer to Lloydminster? :scratchch

Did something I've always wanted to try on Saturday: paintball at someplace near Bearbrook. Overall I had a great time, did pretty well against some seasoned players (even made it to the end of one game, and tagged a lot of enemies) & have some nasty welts to show for it. I had tried the indoor...

If this story turns out to be true, then this guy should be ousted, immediately.

TSN reporting that Alexi Yashin has signed a one year deal with locamotive of the Russian league.... gee thats too bad we won't see him this year :-)

Team 1200 reporting that nhl.com shows Schafer as a Bruin on there roster and Donovan as a Senator.

If a highly paid goalie was put on waivers and sent to the minors, I know his NHL salary would have to be paid him but would that count against the teams cap?

Here's the Ottawa sked...

Well, the first signing has happened... Joe Thorton re-signed with the Sharks for 7.2 million. That would seem to mean that Drury signing with San José as was expected is somewhat less likely now unless they unload someone now.

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...

Anyone have a line on a batting cage, preferably in the east end? Used to be one on Innes Rd, but it closed many years ago, then there was one, indoor, on Triole St near St. Laurent that was open until a couple of years ago. Heard that they are going to put one up at the new Anderson Links, but...

Sens selected Jim O'Brien from U. of Minnesota. He was the youngest player in NCAA this year. Scouts are split on whether he will eventually move from forward to defence. Good size kid. Jim didn't look exactly thrilled when interviewed on TSN along with Brian Murray. I have seen more excited...

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=

Finally.... Finally somebody turned the stupid switch off at the CBC. Great news for hockey fans. At least outside Toronto. http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20070621.wspttruth21/GSStory/GlobeSportsHockey/home

and be out for up to 3 months...should be back for the start of the season though http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Hockey/NHL/Ottawa/2007/06/21/4278885-sun.html

Since Montreal last won the Cup in 1993, 9 of the 13 champions have come from so called "soft market" US cities. I've excluded Detroit and New York from the list because even though they are in the US market, they are cornerstone Original 6 teams with a presence since day one. Theory: Allowing...

As reported http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/rumors/post/Yashin-back-to-Ottawa-?urn=nhl,36066 Yeah why not bring back Daigle also while we are at it..................:rolleyes Sens are "so close" to having a Cup winner, and do not need the distraction that would come with that "guy" even if he...

Keenan to Calgary.:rolleyes How about that?

So which non-traditional hockey market will win the Cup next year? I think some place warm, it has seemed to work the last three seasons. :lmfao (Total tongue in cheek attempt at humour, but you have to see a trend here....)

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.

Well, that was quick. Can't believe how the Ducks steamrolled the Sens after the Sens b-slapped the east. However, next season is the closest it has ever been for this fan so time to start thinking about what to do next year. What do you think would help get the Sens over that last hurdle to the...

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=210024&hubname=nhl This has Brian Burke written allllll over it :irked: :biting: :thumbsdow :rolleyes

Seattle Mariners selected 18-year-old Phillippe Aumont, a native of Gatineau, Quebec (Ecole Du Versant) in the 1st round (11th overall pick) of todays Major League Baseball Draft. Phillippe is 6'-7" and can hit 96 mph with some sinking movement on the ball. He is the "Real Deal"!!!:thumbsup...

Now that the season is over, let's get to the serious stuff. :P :lmfao Who are your picks for the annual awards? My picks will be bolded. Hart Crosby Brodeur Luongo

So, what is everyone's prediction? I am guessing Sens in 7:thumbsup

So with hockey over and te NBA Finals starting tommorow night thought it was time to see what others feel about this series. I'm a little torn as to how this will go, i have always been a Spurs fan but LaBron is fun to watch and had his way with the Spurs this year, He's the closest thing to...

Amazing, nobody was out and about last night, hardly heard a peep! So much for the Elgin St mile! its now officially the Elgin St. Inch! BE RED!

Ok. It's August, and not enough hockey in the news... so.... Predictions on the order of finish for the NHL Canadian teams - which will be the best? Which will be worst? Here is my list: 1. Ottawa - better defence than last year; best balanced team of the bunch 2. Toronto - better coaching;...
