What are the Senators going to do with this kid? So far, he has 8 points in the pre-season in 3 games while playing on a line with Spezza (10 points) and Heatley (8 points). He played on a line with Spezza last year in Binghamton and scored 70 points. Last night, he had a hat trick against the...

Couple of good forums for hard-core hockey talk: http://www.hockeynations.com/ http://mb.scout.com/bhockey/ Just posting this here in case anyone wants to join in the fun. Get away with a lot more trash talk than over here... (Dan, if this is against any rule, I apologize in advance. Just...

Go Sid and Mario!!! LMFAO.... Go Heatley! WOOHOO! LOL.... Dan PS - With new instigator rules, Dan Kilbank's gonna throw me outta the game... :) :fight:

I've watched a complete dismantling of everything they were doing right in the beginning stretch of the season... Joseph is looking shaky... The D is porous, missing all kinds of tackles... Just a terrible team effort all around... Is Joseph injured? Why is our kicker so crappy? Does...

Getting ready for my pool draft day. In the past I always used "mckeen's Hockey pool yearbook" and/or "Hockey Pool Guide Book". Just wonder which is your favorite hockey magazine(s) for your pool drafts. . Would like to see the magazine contains: 1) the latest free agents signed 2) Line...

Okay, so we haven't even played one game under the new CBA, and the Penguins have already managed to get into financial trouble. Idiots. Mario's quote about being "prepared to lose money along the way, but we'll eventually need some help" is friggin laughable. Screw you Mario... No help should...

Well, my new favourite team is changing every day! Apparently Ilya Kovalchuk has now begun playing with Khimik in Russia, which means that he has until October 5 to sign an NHL deal (really). Should he NOT sign by then, and continue to play in Russia, he would have to (in ALL situations) clear...

How nice is this of Mario Lemieux having Crosby living with his family, AWESOME: http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/1126631205174_122040405/?hub=TopStories

Top 5 teams in the league? 1-Philly 2-Sens 3-Sharks 4-Tampa Bay 5-Calgary What’s your take?

Just read on TSN.com that there are rumours of Redden being traded. Anyone have any "inside" info on this one?

I thought someone would bring this up before. Good or bad?

The Pens just picked up Leclair. Good deal. Looks like Mario and the gang are starting to rebuild around Crosby. There's a lot of buzz in Pittsburgh about this upcoming season.

How many points will Crosby score his rookie season?

I don’t understand why the NHL has to pay if a foreign player decides to come play in the NHL instead of the a Pro league in there countries. Can someone explain the politics in this mater? Thanks Mike

Anybody buy sens tickets yet? A friend and I bought half season tickets each and split them. Works out to 11 games and I have to seats for my wife and I, I bought the GM power seats and you get the same seats all year which is nice. Prices were pretty good if you don't mind the 300 level. I...

Looks like Philly is loading up! With their two rookies from the OHL, Carter and Richards and the latest signings they could be a power house. If they can find a really good goalie they might be a contender. "Philadelphia Flyers sign defenceman Derian Hatcher, Mike Rathje and Chris Therien....

Not only is the game changing at the NHL level, it will now change at the CHL level. GM's will have to build teams a bit differently with no red line in place. I witnessed that change in JR when the red line came out. Faster skaters up front are a big advantage on some of the bigger ice surfaces...

Chris Pronger gets traded from STL to EDM in exchange for Eric Brewer, Jeff Woywitka and Doug Lynch. EDM then signs their new stud to a 5-year deal at $6M per season. Okay, never been a big Pronger fan, but it's nice to see the small market teams going after some big names. I'm really enjoying...

I was sure that Pitts would have sign him.

Just a head's up for Sydney Crosby fans - I heard he is to appear on Leno soon but can't find any details. Anyone know when ?

Roberts and Nieuwendyk sign with the Panthers... http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story.asp?id=132137

I love this section of the forum, there's only so much golf talk I can take, and I don't know how good this thread is, but who do you think was the toughest athlete? I would have to say Rocky Marciano...never got knocked down

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...

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

Good Ole Canadian Boy The commentators are having a hard time believing what they're watching... Smyth didn't get a penalty until the fisticuffs broke out. Dan

Credit to tsn.ca for the following: Some of the rule changes that will take effect for the 2005-06 NHL season: - Allowing the two-line pass (no red line) like international hockey;

Quote Linden - "It's like two people being separate boats. Either you get in the other boat and try to work a plan out and get something that can work for you or you stay in your own boat and continue floating aimlessly in the ocean." -------------- Okay, what the hell does that mean? Sounds...

"Tiger Woods is good, but he wants to be the best and wants to do everything to get better and I think Sidney has the same mindset," Normand Poisson, Atlanta Thrashers scout, said. So, let's continue to propagate the hype surrounding this superlatively talented kid. This way we'll make sure he...

The deal is finally done and the season will begin on schedule. Just one thing, how many fans will return with their pocket books out ready to pay full prices?

Since I couldn't wait for the other thread (jerseys number) to get to 99. I though I one will get me to mention him first. The Great One - Wayne Gretzky :hyper: PS. try not to overuse "The Next One" and jinx any youngsters' would be pro career ;)

What a great comeback by the Renegades! Down 33-10 at the half, and then come all the way back to win it in OT. The only points they gave up after the 1st half was a fieldgoal in overtime. Joseph and Ranek had a great game. Go 'Gades! :-)

Who do you guys think is the best athlete ever in any sport??

Based on broken's comment that baseball is not a sport, I thought I'd ask what people here define as a sport...I'm not talking dictionary definition...it's too broad, hell horseshoes is a sport according to this: sport n. 1. Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and...

Well, we must be producing some good yonug hockey players in my homeland... The CHL held their import draft, and 4 of the top 5 players were Czech! 6 of the top 10!!! Could have been better, but our phenom (Czech Crosby) Micheal Frolik dropped to 38th because he isn't likely to leave the Czech...

Here's a new one.... We start with #1 and name a jersey worn by an (or former) NHL player in order; I guess I'll start :-) #1 Craig Billington (Ottawa Senators) Lets's hear it hockey buffs..........

Who gets the first pick in the draft this year? The season is canceled and the best JR player since MARIO is going to be the #1 pick? I heard they might go back over 6 years, total up all the wins and rank the teams from worst to first. Then do a weighted draft. Who is the worst team over...

So, it's official. The most popular owners (sic) in Ottawa CFL history are back at the helm with 51% ownership of the Ottawa Renegades. I had the pleasure of meeting with Lonie while I was working for a marketing firm that did some promotions for the old Riders, and he seemed like a nice enough...

Hello Ottawa 67's Fans. Hey don't feel bad about losing the OHL Title to the London Knights. It was destiny for the Knights right from the start of the season. The Hunter Brothers built that team from draft picks, good trades and more trades this season. London was due for an OHL title after 40...

Who wants to own 30 NHL franchises? I'm waiting for the e-bay auction. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story.asp?id=116886

Do you really care about the 2004-2005 NHL season?

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story.asp?id=114925 What an absolute shame. Greed and stupidity are the undoing of the NHL. Bury the league and bring on the WHA.

hhmmm.....what the? http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story.asp?id=115396

Here we go... :-) I find it quite curious that while the Globe and Mail has reported this story, TSN, who is ultra-quick to report on anything remotely connected to sports, has nothing about this posted anywhere on their site. Hmmmmm. ...

The Boys are back this week.....TV on weekends just got better!

Great game for Canada last night. Nice to see things fall into place. Canada now enjoys being no 1 at all levels of international hockey. World Juniors Champions :Canadian World Womens Champions :Canadian World Mens Champions :Canadian Olympic Mens Champions :Canadian Olympic Womens...

It looks like January 14-ish will be the drop-dead date for NHL hockey this year. Hockey season, yes or no?

Bertuzzi,another blow for the N.H.L?
