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.

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

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

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...

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"...

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...

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 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...

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

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...

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...

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.

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

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 :-)

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.

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

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

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!

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...

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...

: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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

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

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...

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!!!:-)

Ottawa or another team?

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,...

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...

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...

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

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

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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.

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...

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

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

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,...

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...

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.

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?!?

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...
