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...

I'm gonna have to pick a New York Jets' shirt now!!! It's gonna be weird to see him playing for another team but at least, some green will remain on his shirt...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

Somebody else must've been watching this game tonight. One of the best games I've seen in a long time. It had everything, hits, goals, checks (I think Campbell sent Umberger into another universe with that hit), scrums, saves etc, etc, etc. Very entertaining game, hope there is more like this...

Any thoughts. Seems like a decent deal. I guess only time will tell.

Now I'm not a big NFL fan. I do follow it somewhat though. Just heard on TSN that SI has picked the Dolphins to make it to the Super Bowl. Have they made that many improvments during the offseason? I remember them being not that great last year. fundonny, you out there to answer this?????

How much will that missed call factor in the game? Sure Florida would've been at the one yard line or inside it. But what if Ohio could've held them to just a FG? Big momentum shift for the Gators. And I hate the long wait, 51 days since Ohio last played. 30 something for Florida. Now I...

Two games in a row the Sens come out flat in the third period, blow a lead and end up losing. Where's the motivation to finish a team off. Brutal, just brutal. Not a good habit to get into with the playoffs just around the corner. :thumbsdow :rolleyes Maybe some veteran leadership would help???

Apparently Huet will be starting in goal for the Habs. Good idea or not? :scratchch They need at least a tie, and this guy hasn't played in a while whereas the rookie goalie has held the fort quite nicely. Carboneau is taking a chance here, hope it doesn't backfire on him.

What is going on here???? Sens and Pens at 3 on Sat afternoon after playing the first game on Wed. No canadian team for Hockey Night In Canada on Sat night and no late game.....something is not right with that. And then the Sens/Pens play again on Sun?????? At least there is a triple header on Sun.

OK, series by series, round by round, let's hear them. Eastern Conference Round 1 Buffalo vs NYI Sabres in 5 NJ vs Tampa Devils in 5 Atlanta vs NYR NYR in 6 playing real well down the stretch Sens vs Pens Tough call but Sens in 6 or 7

As I type this I am waiting for the 4th OT period between Dal and Van to start. Its been a pretty exciting night of hockey. A good start for sure. Can't wait for the other series to start later tonight. What did everyone else think of the first night of the playoffs?

Anyone know why the Canadian national anthem was sung at the Buff/NYI game tonight????

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 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....)

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...

So does anyone think the Lightining will be an improved team next year? Malone, Vrbata, Roberts, Prospal, Kolzig....looks like they're making a huge push to improve dramatically. I like the Blackhawks signing of Huet. A good young goalie, on a good young team. If they can keep that core...

I'm sure there is some baseball fans on here. And just browsing through the stats today, and from listening to baseball talk over the last couple of days, I was just wondering who everyone's choices are for MVP in the AL and NL. In the NL: For me, if the Phillies get in, its probably...

It was a great start to the season. Very entertaining first period and entire game in general. Looks like the Leafs are going to have to be a grinding type of team this year, but looks like they can pull it off easily. I guess somethings just never change........Mr. Spezza continuously giving...

With all due respect to McCabe's OT winner the other night :P, I think Jonathan Toews goal last night is the early season winner so far. :thumbsup Anyways, I can't get a link to post, but go to TSN.ca and click on NHL and then click on the "Kane...." headline and click on the highlight...

This is getting embarassing now. Looks like the layoff hurt the Rockies and the comeback is just fueling the Sox more. :thumbsup

Our team is in dire need of a goalie tomorrow night. Game is at 8:30PM at the new Kinburn complex. Can anyone here help us out? PM if you can, thanks.

So I'm watching Poker After Dark on Sportsnet the other day, and to my dismay Phil Helmuth is playing. Now I don't know about you guys, but this guy gets on my nerves. I've never seen anyone who likes to listen to his own voice as much as this guy (ok, perhaps Vince McMahon of the WWE is the other...

Did anyone else watch the selection show? Any thoughts? Should there have been any changes? Personally I don't like the fact the BCS computer program puts so much weight on "losing today". A team with two losses could still make it to a championship game, but a team with 1 loss, because it...

OK, so who's winning this weekend???? Jags vs Pats (This is probably the only team in the NFL that could put an end to the Pats perfect season. They are tough and nasty and can control the clock with their run offence, should be a good game.) Chargers vs. Colts (The Colts better come to...

I saw this topic on another forum, and although it's two years away, let's hear who you think will be on the 2010 Canadian Olympic hockey team. Shoe-ins and maybes, let's hear them. (Bold are sure picks) Goalies: This could be interesting. Personally, I think Brodeur will be gone before...

I may have missed this in the off season, but what happened to Barry Bonds? I guess his legal issues got the best of him? Looks like Aaron's HR record is safe.

TSN has reported that Paul has been fired. Looks like both Ontario teams will be on the hunt for a new coash this summer.

2008 Stanley Cup champs, well done. A great organization and well deserved win. Zetterberg is a deserving Conn Smythe winner. :thumbsup

This kid is unreal. 9.69 while still letting up near the finish. Simply unbelievable.

I'm desperate, one of my guys just had to bail. We are playing in the Sensplex league. Cost is $388 per player. You get about 25 games including playoffs. It's a really well run league and we've got a team with a bunch of good guys. Looking for someone that's played a decent level of hockey (high...

Playing tomorrow morning from 8am-9am at the Sensplex in Kanata. Looking for 3-4 players, first come will be first served. Cost will be around $10 or so. Anyone?

I've had a few guys back out of playing for my team in the Bell Sensplex league for this upcoming winter. Cost is $377 per guy and I'm looking for two players. Preferably one d-man and one forward. We play once a week, days of play are Sun-Thurs, start times are anywhere from 7:30-11:15,...

I don't know much about Alexandre Bilodeau (except from what I saw on TV tonight), but good on him for bringing home our first gold ever on home soil!!! What a run he had. I'm so pumped for him. He seems like a real down to earth guy, and totally appreciative of what he has and has accomplished. ...

Fri nights at 11 (starting this Fri) for $270 to play until mid-April and you'll get a kick back at the end of the season from the walk-up players. Also includes one game at Scotiabank. A good range of skill levels and a bunch of good guys to boot. 3 spots open.

So who is going to beat who? Chi vs Min Chi in 5 Ana vs Det Det in 7 Van vs SJ Van in 7 Stl vs LA LA in 6 Pit vs NYI Pit in 5 Mon vs Ott Ott in 6

We urgently need players for our pick up game tomorrow night. $10, 11pm-midnight at the KRC on Terry Fox in Kanata. There is a wide range of skill level so don't be shy. A great bunch of guys and a lot of fun. Reply here or PM with any questions.

With hockey set to start at the end of the week, I am curious, how will everyone be watching? Any stream sites? Is CBC free, online? I miss my hockey!

What's the bag limit for Anahiem Ducks----4 :lmfao :lmfao :rofl1 :rofl1

Mike did it ! Apparently Carrie accepted---now we have something else to talk about :thumbsup

I went to bed at half time thinking that Boise State had this game in the bag but couldn't sleep...got up and watched the final 4 minutes and I think it was the most exciting few minutes of football I've ever watched...change of scores, trick plays...winning on a 2 point conversion. Anyone else...

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.
