I'm hoping somone can settle a bet I have with a co-worker The question is; when visiting NHL teams are in town, where do they stay?

Is anyone else thoroughly annoyed with this late season push? I mean, it's great that they're playing well, but all they're doing is playing themselves out of a good draft pick (unless of course NYI are willing to trade their number 1 pick for Jason Spezza). I can't decide whether I even want...

Bob Cole has got to go. www.firebobcole.com Take a look, sign the petition and pass it on to every Sens fan you know!

Got into quite a discussion with some guys at work today bout the extra point for an OT win or Shootout win...... I really don't like shootouts. I guess I am from the old school that likes them to play overtime until someone scores and WINS the game but I also don't agree with the point for the...

Can't sleep so I was flicking through the sports channels overnight and I found one never ending theme playing! All the Toronto media sports shows were discussing who would go first, the GM or the coach. Well, what do you guys think? Who will they sack first if anyone? I have a feeling tht...

anyone think the n.h.l will accept the latest offer? if so,what do you think about playoffs in july/august?:lol2

Pretty simple...

See: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=195934&hubname= Why is the NHL so inconsistent with the administration of suspensions. Some players will get them others don't when sometimes they should. I'm not angry because he got suspended I'm angry because other players don't when clearly they...

It's that time of year again. The trade market is starting to heat up. Figured I'd start this thread. Who needs what? Who is available? etc. It's time to speculate. I gotta say that I really liked that move by calgary to pick up Stuart and Primeau. The question now is can they resign...

It's now half-time and the Patriots are in a real battle, the outcome of which is far from certain. If the Giants keep playing as they've been doing, they could prevent the Pats from going undefeated. I would not have believed this possible.

So TSN are reporting that Ray Emery was late for practice today and that the coach was furious and sent him back to the hotel. Is this the end of Emery in Ottawa? or with Gerber's less than stellar season so far, do they have to keep him around? What should they do?

In watching the game on Saturday I came to the conclusion that the defensive play of the Sens needs much, much work (brilliant deduction huh?). The defense looked like it was standing still against Boston especially when the Bruins forwards were able to pass at our blueline and skate by the D to...

That had to be the most brutal call that I've seen in 10 years.........a Triple Minor?!? Give me a freaking break :biting: :biting: :thumbsdow :thumbsdow :thumbsdow

So the NHL is clearly worried about Sidney Crosby and the reality that he may not return for the start of the season. They are clearly worried about the high number of head shots and concussions. They are clearly worried about the recent deaths of 2 of the leagues "tough guys". They are clearly...

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...

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...

I think Minnesota and Calgary will be a force in the west this year. In the east.... I was thinking Florida but I am still unsure.

What is this crap?!? Lindsay won't put Peter's on the ice because he knows that he's gonna get destroyed and Mair won't drop the gloves after yet another patened Sabre cheapshot to Spezza. Come on Lindsay grow a set before one of your other *****s get hurt

Man, I am afraid of the extremely fagile confidence level of the Sens, last night ahead 5-0 and they almost blow it. :biting: This is the 3rd time I have seen them do this type of collapse going back to last year and I wonder what the hell a coach could do to stop this downward spiral when it is...

in order... 1. Orr 2. Gretz 3. Mario 4. rocket 5. Hasek

Gotta love those Pens. Pitt in 6.

Okay NHL fans, here's the deal. The NHL in its wisdom has expanded to add a team in Seattle and you're the GM. First thing first, choose your team's name. :scratchch To make sure you're competitive, the NHL is allowing you to poach 6 players from any team to start your franchise on the right...

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

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...

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...

Pretty simple. Pats or Colts. This coming Sunday.

I would send all three to get Lacavalier and bring up the jr Sens players for the rest of the season. That would suit me just fine.

We started this discussion in another thread, let's continue it here

Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes, Brett Favre is back yet once again. Unable to recognize that his talents are not what they once were, he's out of retirement having just signed a two year $25,000,000 deal with the Vikings....

Canada is poised to set the all-time record for gold medals at a Winter Olympics, but if you could, would you trade the 13 we have for the one we Canadians covet the most?

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...

Just read on Canoe.ca that Mucks has had meetings with a few teams to move Havlat. Looks like he may have played his last game in a Sens uniform.

what do you think??

This guy is so inconsistent, Murray needs to go out and trade for another goalie or something. He gave up another horrible goal to lose the game against Detroit, combine that with his 2 iffy goals against Pittsburgh and he is responsible for 2 losses out of 3 games and the one he did not start they...

WOW!, searched the recent threads and not so much as a peep about the home town boys. Can't believe this Forum has become so silent on the home town boys. Although not a "fan" in the true sense I still remember the glory days of the Red Mile on Elgin Street and how this City felt back then. ...

Someone's going to win the cup for the first time in a long time.

What's the biggest choke job in sports? Jean Van de Velde he needed a double bogey (6) on last hole to win, he shot a (7) and lost in a playoff. Yankees vs Boston 2004 ALCS Up 3 games to 0, then lost 4 straight. Team Canada - WHJC 2011 3-0 in third period of gold medal game, lost...

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

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

Any predictions? Italy looks strongest to me at this point, but once you get to the final four it's a crapshoot. I'm predicting Italy, but pulling for France because of Zizou. The man is incredible, on the verge of retirement he has played two of the very best games of his career against...

so suspension came down today for downie and its 20 games, what you guys think?? I think its a joke of a suspension, the guys not playing in the NHL anyway, so this is like suspending a guy who is retiring, what a complete JOKE! No fine was handed out, and by the sounds of it, its not gonna be a...

Ovechkin just signed a 13 year - $124 Million contract with Washington :wallbash :wallbash :wallbash :wallbash :wallbash

John Ferguson Jr Finally gone!! Fletcher as their interim general manager. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=227906&hubname= http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Hockey/NHL/Toronto/2008/01/22/4786917-cp.html

my turn to get in on the action.

Bravo to the NHL for suspending Avery for his crass and callous 25 second utterance yesterday. Unfortunately, his suspension is unlikely to rehabilitate him as his mouth appears to operate one minute ahead of his brain.

So, the NHL finally gets a chance to prove once and for all whether it is serious about cracking down on dangerous hits. Kovalchuk laid out Michael Roszival with a vicious hit from behind last night. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFXOhELnsAE Roszival did not have the puck, did not turn as...

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