Hello Ottawa 67's Fans. Hey don't feel bad about losing the OHL Title to the London Knights. It was destiny for the Knights right from the start of the season. The Hunter Brothers built that team from draft picks, good trades and more trades this season. London was due for an OHL title after 40...

WOW, I guess it's about time: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=163313&hubname=

Toews turned down a $935,000 US offer from Chicago with his decision to come back to North Dakota to play as a sophomore. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=173116&hubname=nhl Something Wie should have done.

Anyone else think its completly wrong for out of town Hockey games to get Blackedout on Rogers cable? The main reason most of us pay for Cable is to watch programmes that are not local. I hate that when the leafs play on a wednesday night and everywhere else in the province they're showing the...

what do people think? Love? Hate? Indifferent? http://senators.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=MediaGalleryPlayer&galleryId=2208 I don't mind them but a bit plain though. Still not crazy about that logo though.

I believe this is a good thing, based on what he has shown since his arrival. Time will tell if he is one of those "pros" whose game falls off once they have financial security.

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...

Top 5 teams in the league? 1-Philly 2-Sens 3-Sharks 4-Tampa Bay 5-Calgary What’s your take?

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

Listened to the station this morning - can't stand Angry Al by the way. I'm upset that the Sens lost, like every other fan out there. But geez can people get a sense of the big picture. Only one team, ONE, every year gets to win the Stanley Cup. One team out of 30. 16 make the playoffs, and ANY...

So, Toronto made it official yesterday - Jason Alison out, Peca in. Thoughts? What I find interesting is that Peca proved last year that he's at his best in the playoffs, and yet he signed with a team that has little potential to make it that far (the opinion of a biased Ottawa fan living...

I was really impressed with Murray's shootout strategy tonight. He went with Vermette, McAmmond, Fisher, the players who had been working hard. He rewarded hard work, and sent a message to starts that they need to start playing like stars - no glory if they don't work for it. So, my question...

After the Colt's loss yesterday to the Chargers, there can't be any doubt the the best team in pro football is from New England. Even the oftentimes querulous frequenters of this site must agree with that conclusion. Right? :)

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...

......one mediocre goaltender. He is as arrogant as they come and doesn't see the need to participate in team practices. He's been known to be late for practice and airplane flights from time to time. He suffers from road rage can't stop the long shot or anything to his blocker side. He likes...

Like Father.........like Son................ http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/story.html?id=cf1a8365-2e04-433f-b290-4252124b09c1 Watch these French and English News videos.................... You be the judge...............did Patrick Roy gesture to his son encouraging him to...

This guy must be driving Harty crazy. One game (Buffalo) he is responsible defensively, coming back, fighting on the boards etc. Last night he stunk, stunk, stunk. He always shys away from hitting a player and he is the weakest guy on the team when it comes to puck possession. He seldom wins that...

For those of you who unfortunately missed the lows and the highs of Canada's victory over Russia, TSN has the entire game on its site: http://watch.tsn.ca/international-hockey/clip126301#clip126332 Enjoy.

OK guys... it is simple. How many more medals from today till the end. My prediction: 8

Who gets the first pick in the draft this year? The season is canceled and the best JR player since MARIO is going to be the #1 pick? I heard they might go back over 6 years, total up all the wins and rank the teams from worst to first. Then do a weighted draft. Who is the worst team over...

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...

It's that time folks. The greatest tournament in sports is about to begin. Time to put in predictions on this years winner of the World Cup of Soccer. Personally, Im putting my vote in for England. They've got an easy group and should get through with no problems without Rooney. He's a tough...

GO SHARKS GO :-) DROP THE PUCK LET'S ROCK:-)

Well its official, Hartsburg is gone http://www.ottawasun.com/Sports/Senators/2009/02/02/8235306.html

no google Of all the players who have never won a scoring tittle, i lead league in points scored. who am i??? who was the first player in the NHL to score more than 50 goals in a season Who was the last defenseman to score over 100 points?

All year I prepared myself for the very real possibility of no Red Wings in the playoffs. Now look! #5 seed in the west is within striking distance. Even winning the division is a remote posibility. Only 6 pts back of Chicago who is in a tailspin. . Finish strong Wings!

he is very good at accidentally hurting other teams star players

For me it has to be wayne. The puck was in mid air chocked down on his stick and does a full slap shot out of mid air and put its into the net. He must have been a between the faceoff circle to the right of the goalie and the blue line. It was amazing to see in slow motion. The own nolan goal in...

Chicago 19 New England 15

Hockey Canada has announced their selections for the Under 20 National Team. Once again it looks like Canada should have a contender at the IIHF World JR Tournament. The tournament starts on Boxing Day with Sweden being the host country. Team Canada will have some players returning from last...

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...

After seeing Sean Avery's antics over the last 3 games and knowing that 99% of players in the league want to see him gone, why do you think the Rangers gave him a chance and do you think he should be in the league? :-)

Not sure if this is exclusively on Bell Express Vu, but we get the US Fox feed tonight with all the US commercials. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay, we got a defenseman!!! Karlsson out of Sweden. Here are Pierre McGuire's comments: He was one of the fastest climbers on everyone's list - some had him as high as number five overall. He's the Swedish Brian Rafalski. You talk about patching holes, this patches a hole on defence for the...

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/baseball/mlb/02/07/alex-rodriguez-steroids/index.html?eref=T1 In 2003, ARod was a member of the Texas Rangers and there was no penalty if you tested for anabolic steroids.

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...

I'm not sure how many people follow this, and/or like to participate in pools, but I've set up a March Madness Pool at http://www.myrtlebeachgolftalk.com/MarchMadness/tabid/60/Default.aspx If you have any questions, let me know.

The guy won't live another 10 years. Should he have his name erased from the record book?

I know the leafs are winning 5-0, but i am sure Sens and leaf fans can actually agree on one thing, why did they put a Nucks/Wings game on when it was 3-1, 1st game of the season?? Its not like its the 2nd last of the season, with major implications. I would rather watch the leafs win 15-0, then...

Stay the course, or make the switch? :scratchch

i mean real football, not american football? EPL mls??

So the Trade deadline is quickly coming up. Anyone think there will be any block buster trades this year? I'm not convinced Sundin will be gone, I think the fans would be too ******. I have a feeling they will resign him. I do think that Redden will be dealt though, somehow they are going...

Brett Favre has called it quits. http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/sports/AP-FBN-Packers-Favre.html?_r=1&ex=1362373200&en=d1a2160f839d4754&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss&oref=slogin

I only got to watch the beginning and the end of the Bears-Titans game yesterday. From what I saw Grossman was awesome, and that game came right down to the wire. How about the Bears winning the toss, opting to kick, shutting Tenessee down 3 & out, then scoring a touchdown on their opening...

Down to the final 4 - let the games begin!

If you haven't been watching the NBA playoffs, you might want to. The games have been great, especially the Celtics' series. It seems that every game they've played has been a nail-biter. They needed multiple overtime games to get past Chicago. Orlando has not been any easier. They need to win...

Forget about Sidney's failure to observe tradition and shake hands after the final............check this out :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes Now that's how I'd treat the Holy Grail of Canada's National Sport :rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes
