Not sure if this is in the right place or not but I'm looking for 2 players to play full time for summer hockey Wednesday nights at 7:30 in Barrhaven. I would rate the hockey as mid-level. There are some guys that can dangle, some that can't and a couple of old fat guys like me who are basically...

I was looking at the Sens schedule for the season, why does Ottawa get stuck with so many games starting in the afternoons on weekends, and the Leafs I believe have one game, besides the Jan 1, 2014 game outdoors. I believe Montreal has 7 games. I believe Ottawa has 15 or 16 games that start...

Who do you think will win Superbowl 2016- Broncos or Panthers

Wow!!

Heading to Ottawa in new year going to take in a Senators game, anyone have advise on good seat to purchace at a reasonable price?

Will the Vikings and Giants game in Detroit be on tv Monday at 7 PM? I mean will it televised here in Ottawa? I only have Rogers Basic Cable up to channel 28. Anyone know if it will be on ABC Channel 20 here tonight? Thanks

No One Traded Today? Slow day at the fire sale! :lmfao

From tsn.ca: SENATORS FIRE HEAD COACH CLOUSTON; ASSISTANTS CARVEL, LAUER Cory Clouston's stay as the coach of the Ottawa Senators has officially come to an end. The Senators fired their bench boss and two assistants on Saturday just hours after losing their last game of the season to Boston. ...

Is anyone out there other than me paying attention to the unfolding Mike Danton murder for hire case? I'm finding that agent of his, David Frost, to be a really sinister man. This Danton kid is obviously a headcase, and has made things worse by compounding it with a press release in which he...

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...

Finally another season of CFL football is upon us, and the Renegades (who host the Grey Cup this year) are looking good against the Bombers so far. I can't get over how that little b@stard Josh Ranek (well, maybe he ain't little, but he's short!) is so tough. Just figured that I'd post...

Well, Bertuzzi is charged with assault causing bodily harm for his attack on Steve Moore. It isn't the first time an athlete has been charged for actions during a game, but usually nothing happens to him anyways. Do you guys think anything will happen to Big Bert, or will he walk away with a...

Well, after much speculation, Hasek has been introduced as an Ottawa Senator. Jason Spezza gave up his #39 and will now wear #19 in honour of Alexei Yashin ( :-)). The whole thing smacks of Stanley Cup!!! As a Czech Canadian living in Ottawa, this is a dream come true!!! Dan

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...

Most of you don't know me well enough to care, but perhaps the general significance of the events I'm about to describe will let you know how sad I feel today. In a heavy metal/hard rock bar in or around Columbus Ohio, the band Damageplan (founded by former Pantera standouts "Dimebag" Darrell...

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...

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

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...

"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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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:

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...

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...

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...

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...

Always been a habs fan, 15 years is long enough!

Sticking with the habs - the adversity they overcame is just gonna make their kids better and better!!

Ok, definitely wont go for the habs this time Think its the Stars now - they have the best goalie of the bunch, plus a couple of ex habs are playing real good (dammit) for them

Gotta love those Pens. Pitt in 6.

Down to the final 4 - let the games begin!

Ok, game 7 on friday. Will say Pittsburgh will surprise, Jordan Staal gets the winner, and joins big brother Eric in the Stanley cup parade in downtown Thunder Bay. Changed my mind on Osgood - the guy is money in the playoffs - amazing turnaround from his reg season!

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

Here's hoping they hang on tonight. :wallbash :wallbash :wallbash (wanted to use a few of those typographical characters but am no longer allowed to do so!) :meditate:

Well, after yet another loss, I am starting to feel the Sens are simply not that good anymore. I know Gerber has been brutal, but still - the Sens simply cannot win the battles. And with the salary cap they are kind of screwed. They'll never be able to offload Gerber, so who are they going to go...

Well, that was quick. Can't believe how the Ducks steamrolled the Sens after the Sens b-slapped the east. However, next season is the closest it has ever been for this fan so time to start thinking about what to do next year. What do you think would help get the Sens over that last hurdle to the...

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...

Am I the only one who thinks it is hilarious that the boys used a golf ball retriever to hold up the flag they skated around with after the game? :-)

In general the future does look good for the Sens. Yes they got smoked by the Pens but looking at the glass half full you can say every playoff game is good experience for the youngsters and the 3 year plan looks to be on track. The Pens are simply a loaded for bear team and are rolling. The Sens...

Does anybody else think this was probably one of the worst call ever in the NFL. Did Ed Hochuli had too much money invested in the Broncos he had to blow the game. We have seen it before in the NBA so... Just awful...

That is a total surprise... not sure why he went there but...
