Well, another talent gone from the NHL. I guess there was just too much pain to continue. Well, could be the fact that he played on the Penguins. Awww... my poor Penguins. You can see more at tsn.ca

WTF? Anybody see this coming? Theo and Ribeiro yes,but another head coach! Rumour has it,Sourray,Ribeiro and Theodore for Kolzig!

Sounds like a Bertuzzi... http://www.nhl.com/news/2006/01/251328.html I didn't see it, but punching a guy from behind. He just didn't fall on top of him.

Never mind the election mud slinging, the most exciting thing to happen in Ottawa this week was a 2-0 win over the Sens by the Sharks :-)

Anyone out there a fan of the great sport of mixed martial arts? UFC or Pride FC? My user name make sense to anyone?

The big rink on Paladium Drive will now be known as the Scotiabank Centre. Scotia has signed a 12 year sponsorship deal. The details will be announced tomorrow.

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 just can’t wait. This year is a great year for hockey. New NHL rules, Crosby and Ovechkin, The Olympics and the World Juniors. USA has a great team this year. They Have 18 drafted NHL player and number one prospect for this year’s draft, Phil Kessel. Unfortunately for them they are playing the...

Is there gonna be some hockey for the Olympic winter games?

I am sure many of us watched the game. And I am also sure many of us saw Jack Johnson elbow Steve Downie in the head after the last Canadian goal was scored to seal the deal against the USA. I watched part of the Czech V. US game last night and he was playing!!!! I cannot believe that in a...

Even though I'm a Leafs fan, I think it's disgraceful that Tucker got off with just a $2500 fine for the helmet swinging incident against the Devils. Should have been at least 2 games. I guess Colin Campbell didn't get new gonads for Christmas. :rolleyes

I sincerely hope that this holiday season (regardless of your faith, or absence thereof) finds you and your family in the best of spirits, and most importantly, full of joy and love. With thought to love, we can accomplish what governments cannot, which is rebuilding humanity. It's the solution...

I am the only one who has mixed feeling about sending pros to the Olympics? :confused I know the Olympics is all about the $ now (as with all pro sports)... However, why is it OK to send pros for hockey, basketball and baseball (?) but not for the other sports/athletes... For instance, "pro"...

So the names are out what does everyone think? http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/feature/?fid=8747&hubname= Me, I think that not having 2 of the top scorers in the league on the team is a joke!!! Spezza and Staal shold be there. I would have taken pezza just because him and Heatley have so much...

Had to post this. Kovalev, WE MISSED YA! :-)

For those of you who are unaware, or those that like the laughs, err Leafs, the CBC has announced it's holiday schedule. Toronto, Toronto and more Toronto. Ottawa won't be back till Hockey Day in Canada, scheduled for Jan 7, 2006. http://www.nhl.com/news/2005/12/248698.html

After taking an instigator penalty against Carlo Colaiacovo in the last 5 mins. of the game will Jason Spezza get suspended or not? Your thoughts.

Eddie deserves a little recognition after having surpassed Terry Sawchuk's second place standing in the most wins by a goalie category. He is now second all time behind Patrick Roy.

I'm dying to play some shinney, and was wondering whether there are any rinks in Ottawa that are almost ready?

I just discovered a brave new world. Starchoice has recently added CBC HD to their lineup. I haven't watched any hockey on there because the last while the Sens games have been carried by CBC Ottawa while TO is always on the HD channel. So tonight, with the Sens game on later, I turned on CBC...

Decent game last night. Nice to see the boys rebound after a disappointing weekend. I was wondering what other people thought of the Fisher (I believe it was him) hit on the goalie? I do feel that protecting the goalie is important, however he was out challenging the shooter and got run over....

It's still ongoing, but England's pool is set, and they have avoided getting a pool with two other contenders. Barring some kind of collapse, they should be through. Whichever pool gets the US is going to be a really fun one to watch

Didn't get a chance to see the game. Checked the boxscore on nhl.com, and there were a tonne of penalties in the third. Can anyone tell me what happened - the explanations on nhl.com and tsn.ca are pretty sparse, probably as they're trying to discourage fighting and such. Thanks in advance.

If anyone was watching during the pre-season you could definitely see a lot of "natural goal scorer" in Brandon Bochenski. No doubt he benefited from playing with Spezza and Heatley (who wouldn't?), but there were some goals he scored that few others would have... So my question is, after...

I know its petty to complain about a team that is 19-4-0, but is it just me or do the Sens either play amazing or horrible!! All of their loses have been because they have played just horrible. None of their 4 losses have been when they played great and still lost. It just seems that when they...

Just watching the highlights form last night adn all I can say is WOW:eek: What a goal for the winner in the 15th round of the shoot out. Malik's throught the legs goal was just AWESOME.:hyper: :thumbsup

Is their any doubt that the Heatley – Hossa deal was a good one for Ottawa?:scratchch Mike

I just read on TSN.ca that Chris Neil's mother died in a tragic car accident north of Toronto yesterday. My thoughts go out to him and his family. Even as a Leafs fan I have a lot of respect for Chris Neil and the way he plays the game. Sad news.

http://www.tsn.ca/chl/news_story.asp?id=140174 Good for Dave Branch for coming down hard on this kind of crap. I see that the whiner Downey is threatening to sit out the rest of the season and wants a trade. Let him rot. Like any other team would want him now. At least McGill had the balls...

Does anyone know of any tourneys this winter looking for teams? I am looking for rec division and 30 plus. If you know of any could you send an e-mail to jarthur73@gmail.com Any leads would be appreciated!!!!

Anybody else getting tired of this "kicking" from Havlat? Again in the 2nd period tonight he was kicking one of the Boston players in the groin? This is just wrong.:thumbsdow How many games this time? :scratchch

LOL!!! ----------------------------------------------------------- Q: "Why were the Leafs still hungry after the Sen's banquet?" A: "Because they EIGHT-NOTHING." ------------------------------------------------------------

:cool :cool LEAFS Fans should be really really quiet after tonights BLOWOUT! I am not a Sens fan but I loved that game!:P

From such a harsh panel of critics, I expected this to be a hot issue on this forum... NOBODY cares? dbleber, is he "tough" for his actions? Is he cowardly? Should his suspension be one game more than Havlat? More? Less? This guy did the exact same cheapshot twice in the span of a...

Being a huge Penguins fan since 1988, I was 6, I have always been a fan of Jagr. He may be the most hated player by the fans that hockey has ever seen. However, there is no doubt that when he wants to play, he is the best player in the world. Sure, you can argue, but you have to realize that...

I recall when Ottawa drafted Logan Couture that some of you were concerned about his attitude etc. I remember saying he would be just fine and would turn out to be a good player. So far he has done just that. I watched him against London two weeks ago and he had a ton of ice time, killed...

For the life of me I can not figure out why Phil Garner allowed Brad Lidge to pitch to Albert Pojols with 2 out, 2 on in the Top of the 9th when the Astros had a 4-2 lead. With Sanders on deck why not walk Pojols? I would have walked Pojols in a heartbeat. No way would he have beaten me with that...

Yeah, not exactly sports related, but since we were talking about anthems in here before, it seems as good a place as any to ask... Does anyone know where I could find a downloadable version of Zakk Wylde's rendition of the Star Spangled Banner from the LA Kings' opener? Definitely a...

Who your choices????

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...

Dan, It's been 7 long years, but tomorrow Marco makes things right. Sorry Dan, but Marco is on a mission to finish off what his knees denied him. It's destiny. At least I hope it is.

Check out the comments from this thunder head! I am sort of in the middle on the the Roenick hit. I do think in pre season you don't steam roll guys but at the same time you shouldn't be allowed to run around with your head down. Either way this guys comments are way out of line. ...

I could not believe it, i was at the game last nite, and when the national anthem came on, he still had his bucket on. I could not believe it, he was the only player who had not taken his helmet off. It was the most disrespectful thing i have ever seen, its not like the game was in the States!!...

Check out the Ottawa Sun today they have a good close up of Haseks helmet, which belongs in a museum! I am not a huge Hasek fan but this guy has to have Balls of Steal to wear this thing! It has no ear guards, no throat guard, the cage just hangs there and the dam thing looks to small for his...

Anyone see the highlights of this bone-head Puritan eye-gouging Colton Orr? DISGUSTING!!! This Cro-Magnon of an excuse for a hockey player should be out of the league. Puritan has a list of infractions longer than your arm, and still the NHL thinks a 10 game suspension is going to get through to...

Kevin Weekes on Jaromir Jagr: "He's still arguably the best player in the league and the best player in the world," Weekes said. "You can't get much better than that. I think our strength could be best served if we continue to play team hockey." Just posting it because finally someone who isn't...

I need to take 9 forwards, it can be anyone so far I have F-Ilya Kovalchuk F-Jarome Iginla F-Rick Nash F-Marian Hossa F-Jaromir Jagr F-Pavel Datsyuk
