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

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???

:-) Wow the Sens did a great job of keeping the Rangers off the scoreboard tonight. Which in turn allowed JOE THORNTON of the San Jose Sharks to win the SCORING TITLE :-) A little bit of history here. Joe is the first NHL player to be traded mid season and win the scoring title. Joe Thornton...

If your bored with normal TV and are looking for something a little different to watch on Saturday night , The UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) has a steller fight card on PPV this coming weekend. If you don`t mind A bit of violence and some mixed matial arts , you gota see this sport to...

From todays Ottawa Citizen sports. Leafs are honouring the 1967 Cup champs tonight. HaHaHAHA...!!! 40 years from now those 1967 player's kids and grandkids will be at centre ice going through the same ceremony celebrating the last Leafs Cup win !!!:lmfao ...

CNN has just reported that Barry Bonds has been indicted on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice by a Grand Jury. He is also now under investigation for Money Laundering :eek: Another big name out of sports?

Chara to Boston. Jovo to Phoenix. Kubina to TO. See: http://www.tsn.ca/ It's going to be weird seeing the Big Z in a Bruins Jersey. Surprised Florida didn't get Jovo with hm and Bert being buds. I'm sure they'll be more to come.:thumbsup

While I have not been following the bankruptcy proceedings too closely, my sense of the essence of the NHL's argument to the Court is as follows: Forget about protecting all of the creditors. Forget about Jim Balsillie's offer, eventhough his bid is the only one that would cover all of the...

So not sure if you have all seen it yet, but this happened yesterday. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAoFY0owFXc&feature=player_embedded As a hockey fan and former coach, I find this hit to be absolutely disgusting and unnecessary. If this was the first time, it would...

Within the first two weeks of the season, the local sports pundits were predicting that the Sens wouldn't make the playoffs. Good thing these guys aren't paid for being right or for being patient. 105 points for this season. Priceless. Here's my prediction. The Sens will go deep into the...

http://www.tsn.ca/ i like it

This is another example why IMO Sid is a better player. Ovy has proved again that in big games he is just not the franchise player you need on your team to get the job done. We will be able to compare adequately this next series since both will have faced the same team. Ovy was continuously...

What a strange draft this is going to be... Not a very strong draft to begin with... You have top prospects who have had knee surgeries, concussions, mono etc... You have more and more questions surrounding drafting Russians with top picks... You might have more teams willing to drop down in...

Early in the season, when the Pats were 2-2 and their offensive line was just horrible, it would have been nearly impossible to predict that they would beat both Denver and Indy. But they did just that. These guys are playing hard-nosed, take no prisoners, football on both sides of the line. ...

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.

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...

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...

I can't believe it, but TSN is reporting it is a done deal.

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

As most of you know, I'm not an alfie fan, never have been and I think the team will deal him this season. A second line player making 5mil is retarded. So, what do you think is a fair trade that benifits the team (fills their needs) that the other team would go for??? I say trade alfie...

The Sens traded the ineffective (thus far) Alexei Kaigarodov to the Coyotes for C Mike Comrie.

From todays Ottawa Sun. Redden would consider paycut to stay.......... http://www.ottawasun.com/Sports/Senators/2007/11/06/4634006-sun.html

Can you not hit anyone these days without getting a penalty? Interference? Give me a break, Havlat was playing the puck, gets hit, knocked cold and Kronwall gets a game misconduct. Ridiculous.

If you were Steve Yzerman, which players would you pick for the 2010 Olympics? Here's my list of players that I would pick to win a gold medal: C Sidney Crosby Joe Thornton Jonathan Toews Jordan Staal

Any good hockey players out there? Here is your chance to make it to the NHL: http://corelcentre.com/acts/makingthecut-04.aro

Ottawa or another team?

OK guys and girls, Here is our first annual Super Bowl Pool. These are the rules: 1) Pick the winner of the game 2) Guess the total score of the game.

Anyone else pumped for the Euros? This tournament usually produces much more competitive football than the World Cup, a team really has to earn their way in. Unless you're Switzerland or Austria that is. :P Anyway, cheering for the Netherlands but secretly hoping Spain will do well, they are the...

In tennis is it is badly viewed when someone beats the crap out of someone else 6-0 6-0? Should a boxer fighter/fighter slack off when he is ahead in the fight? Do baseball teams hold back when scoring a bunch of points? Do racecar drivers ease off the pedal when ahead in a race?

I know nobody will take him, but Spezza has to go. He is simply not getting it. I am sick of all of the "offensive creativity" nonesense as an excuse for the give aways. He does not hustle, refuses to get dirty in the corners, and will not stop the give away plays. Everyone else has picked it up...

Well, it's the second greatest event in soccer outside the World Cup, and it's upon us this weekend! I'm looking forward to watching a great deal of it on Fox Sportsworld, especially if they show my Czechs play. My predictions for the tournament: 1 - Czechs make the finals and win in a...

Yeah baby!:-) :-) :-) :-)

Can anybody tell me why these guys are the announcers for sens games. The announcers can't even remember Redden, i believe it was "Redson". They are just goofballs, i swear i would rather have the game in Chinese than hear these guys, and trust me i don't know Chinese! :wallbash:wallbash. Also,...

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.

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...

Ok, so let me start off by saying that I played junior hockey. I also played other team sports at high levels, and am still a competing athlete. There is no need for fighting in hockey. The crap that went on with Tucker and Avery is a joke and the NHL should be embarassed. Those 2 players...

What do you think of Downie's latest stunt?? Does it warrant a suspension? Personally I think Downie has demonstrated yet again that he has absolutely no regard for his fellow competitors and I'd be for a permanent ban - this dude has no place on the ice........

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=230511&hubname= So Sundin refuses to waive his no-trade clause. This has to be one of the most selfish things I have heard of in a while. JR was also reporting that he has said he won't negotiate a contract extension. Is he done? Does he care so little...

I'm sitting here watching the so far boring TSN Trade Centre and they just said that after last nights game, a source 'iwith the team' said that Murray has decided to move Paddock and return behind the bench himself for the remainder of the season and that Emery had his last chance. I hope the...

For me, no question it's Federer and I couldn't be bothered to debate it since I don't believe there is even a debate possible.

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...

A couple of great quotes I heard during the first period : And the All Stars break out of their zone :meditate: Yashin has the on ice personality of a Cactus :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :lmfao

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...

One of the few guys that work on the Sens and he's gone to Nashville for picks. Who's next?????

3 years @ 9.25 million. I'm glad he's staying, but at first blush, that seems like a very generous contract.
