Looks like the leafs are oficially knocked out of the playoffs!!:hyper::hyper::hyper: Lightning won today and knocked them out, good to finally see. Now perhaps there is a chance that we will get to see Sens games on CBC during the playoffs!

I am one happy camper this morning :-) My NHL Team clinched a playoff spot last night by defeating the Canucks in OT. It came right down to the wire for the SHARKS but they made it in :) Personally I think Joe Thornton deserves the League MVP, without him the Sharks would not have made the...

Can you believe this. Stopping operations for a year to find a financially stable owner. Pretty embarrassing. Second time around and they still can't get it to work. Who knows if anyone will want to step up and buy this team. :rolleyes

If you arent all tubed out after watching the Masters on sunday, tune in to CBC at 8 pm for the 1972 Canada / Russia Series made for tv movie. For those old enough to have seen it live it should be a good watch.:-) :-) Do you remember where YOU were when Paul Henderson scored the winning...

Now that's a great week 1 matchup, the battle of the Manning brothers!

Looks like Mats is getting ready for the parade!:laughing: Added another one, I like this one better :laughing:

I'm not sure how many people follow this, and/or like to participate in pools, but I've set up a March Madness Pool at http://www.myrtlebeachgolftalk.com/MarchMadness/tabid/60/Default.aspx If you have any questions, let me know.

Who do you think has the most Loyal fans?

Who fights Brashear?? Well McGratton dropped Brashear and definetly got the better of the fight. Looks like he's one of the only guys that isn't afraid of Brashear!

Good thing the Bruins probably won't make the playoffs. The Sens just can't seem to beat them. Sens took them to a shootout tonight, but probably didn't deserve to. I guess a point is better than none. But the Sens have to beat these weaker teams in the Eastern Conference. Definately not confidence...

Some of you know him as Pops, and some of you also know he is really good working with wood. For my birthday last week, he made this GREAT looking jersey case for my Bobby Orr signed hockey jersey.:thumbsup Thanks again Mark!!:-)

I just rediscovered the fact that nhl.com has radio feeds of all it's games. I just finished listening to the last second heroics in the Sens game. It's definitely nice to be able to hear what's happening in real time, as living on the west coast, I don't get to see games on tv that often. I...

Anyone catch that pre-game ceromony last night for Boom,Boom? Man that was deep.

Hmmm, what's up with that?!? I bet he's grumpy.

3:00 PM EST, 03/08/2006 Roloson traded to Oilers By John McGourty | NHL.com The Minnesota Wild traded veteran goalie Dwayne Roloson to the Edmonton Oilers Wednesday for a first-round pick in the 2006 Entry Draft and a conditional draft pick. That will be a third-round pick in 2006 if the Oilers...

How bad it must be to be a leafs fan. They are now gonna be 7 points back of the Habs for 8th place. Undoubtably they played their best game in some time, especially against the Sens, and they still lose, what's that say??? Who knew that the leafs would be the only Canadian team to miss the...

Now you can officially panic. I heard that Hasek is done for the year.

It appears Cole is out at least for the rest of the regular season after last night's hit. Now, I'm sure there are a lot of Hurricanes calling for Orpik's head, as they've lost one of their best players to a "dirty hit". Orpik will probably get a hefty suspension, given the injury. I see that...

Could it be a sign? CBC has announced two more games in April where they will be showing Ottawa play, the 1st and the 8th. Is it a sign of Toronto's "play" of late?!?

did anyone else read the ufc fighters column in the ottawa sun today on chuck liddell. I found that very interesting how many of those guys as oppose to boxing actually had a potiential career other than fighting.

OTTAWA - The Chief of the Defence Staff, General Rick Hillier, would like to thank the Ottawa Senators, who will host Canadian Forces Appreciation Night on March 2, 2006. More than 1100 CF personnel from the Navy, Army and Air Force will help cheer-on the Sens as they play against the Washington...

Well,the Canadian Olympians came through with flying colours. 24 medals, third in the standings, and who knows how many fourth place finishes. Everyone was a little skeptical when the COC said their goal was third place and 25 medals, but we did it. (If the men hadn't dropped the ball in hockey,...

Well it looks like that time is just about upon us again. I can't wait till the hockey starts up. Looks like we have a pretty good shot at repeating. :CanadianGO CANADA GO :Canadian

Does anyone know if the Canada game is available online? On a radio station or something??

Sandhu buffed the ice with his body yesterday. Ready as ever to take on his rightful responsibility for this all too typical performance, he explained to a CBC reporter that the root cause of all his troubles lay in the fact that he hadn't been picked by Canadian skating officials to be on...

That was probably the most interesting womens hockey game ever. Very happy to see the Americans get beat, and see another team besides the two main ones (Can and US) do something for womens hockey. Canada will win gold, but it is nice to see that the Silver will not go to the US of A.

Just looked at the medal count today and Canada is tied in 2nd with 11, 2 back of Norway! Quite impressive, i know the COC is shooting for 3rd place and it looks to be well on their way. I know we all hope/expect to get 2 medals in hockey and 2 in curling as well, so they are well on the way to...

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.

A week weeks back, I mentioned in a thread that the Sens did not appear to be motiviated for some games. Someone disagreed with me. I don't think one can disagree any further. They are being beaten by teams that may not even make the playoffs (agreed, they beat Pittsburg who is a good AHL team at...

Yep, Jose Theodore tested positive for Propecia, a hair loss treatment. Apparently it is also used to mask steroid use. First off, if he is taking it for hair loss, Propecia should be paying him millions of dollars...most hair i've ever seen on a bald guy. Secondly, I doubt that he was using it...

With the withdrawl of Niedermayer and Jovo, Team Canada had a chance to get it right. But once again they dropped the ball. With Bowmeester and Dan Boyle named as replacements, not too sure if Canada actually bettered themselves. Only Boyle has comparable stats to Phaneuf. Bowmeester still hasn't...

Any comments? I cant believe it! Its a plan derrived by the Americans to throw the Canadians off their game!:-)

The Sens are really making me angry...to be quite frank "SENS STINK"

The poor Blues. Did anyone see the highlights (more like lowlights) of their game with the Hawks last night. Even though they won it was a comedy of errors. Tchakuk goes to take a shot on a breakaway in OT and just flat out misses/loses the puck. Then in the shootout, not sure of the player, but...

I am the only one who can't stand watching Hockey Night in Canada?? I know that the leafs are "Canada's team" but it is just unbelievably annoying to listen to Cole and Neale. I mean toronto is a god to these guys, whenever belfour make a save, its the save of the year and when they block a...

Subject: Important Bulletin from Hydro One Rotating Blackouts Ontario Power Generation (OPG) and Hydro One are warning customers of the rotating winter power blackouts that are expected to occur on: - Saturday March 4, 2006 - Tuesday, March 7, 2006 - Saturday, March 11, 2006 - Tuesday,...

Ottawa or another team?

Great win for the Steelers. I couldn't believe that fumble by Bettis though. Tough miss by Vanderjagt, but it's not his fault. Indy just took too long to get going. Go Steelers!!!:-)

Have you ever seen a team so poor in offensive zone creativity? On the rush probably not a better team in the league. But man oh man do they hurt when they have to set up in the offensive zone. Spezza loves trying to go cross ice from the half boards or just dump it into the middle. They were 0/8...

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

If you haven't heard, the Bruins have traded Joe Thornton to San Jose, in exchange for Marco Sturm, Wayne Primeau, and Brad Stuart. Boston saves 1.6 million in cap room. What do you think? Personally, I think Boston has gotten a much better deal than people seem to be giving them credit...

Check the updated standings today, Sens tied for first in the conference, leafs in 9th and canadiens in 10th!!! http://www.nhl.com/standings/20052006/conference_standings.html

After reading some of the old posts regarding Logan Couture being drafted by the 67's I have to say that in the long run everyone must now admit he was a good draft pick. He is currently tied for 4th in Rookie Scoring with 40 points in 44 games. As I stated in my posts Logan is a good player, and...

Anyone catch the game last night? Good win. I thought that was one of the most boring games I have seen in quite awhile. Don't think we could have controlled the game anymore than we did. Anyone else hoping we broke the record for least amount of shots allowed in a game? I sure hope the Habs put up...

Just heard his post game comments on Sportsnet. According to Pat the Coliacovo(sp?) incident was not inadvertent. He says Carlo's feet were taken out from under him. I watched the game and saw the replay many times. It was an ACCIDENT! You can tell by Vrada's reaction, he was made he got clipped by...

That's too bad: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=152104&hubname=

:laughing: Another spanking handed to the LAFFS in Ottawa tonight, man I just love it:-) Over on TGN they will be crying the blues and using every excuse in the book for this lose. Only excuse they have, Toronto Sucks! Poor Eddie, on 5 of the Sens goals he was left all alone while his D slept in...

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...

I wonder how long Mario will let his star player get bashed around on the ice? Saw some highlights of some of the abush Crosby has taken and it was pretty brutal. Now it makes you wonder how much trash talking he is doing while on the ice. Also it makes me wonder what he says in the dressing...

Anybody see Ovechkin's goals against the Coyotes? It was awsome, that kid has some serious offfensive talent. He may not be the best play maker,but for pure scoring touch it's him and Kovelchuk!
