Dion Phaneuf's hit on Denis Hamel was a great hit... but, was it interference? Later in the game Roman Hamrlik was called for interferring with an Ottawa player on a very similar play - ie, Ottawa player dumps the puck in and attempts to go chase it and is prevented from doing so by Hamrlik. ...

For those that missed it, Johnson gave up his shutout to handle DiPietro: http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck_daddy/post/Goalie-Fight-Video-Brent-Johnson-s-1-punch-KO-o;_ylt=Am5CVikjTF83Yb1RiHSl6aN7vLYF?urn=nhl-316165

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...

Ok, I am tired of all the times referees are calling a penalty and a dive at the same time. In soccer, players are called for diving when there is NO foul. They are being unsportsmanlike because they faked being fouled, so they are called for diving. That makes sense. If you are being...

Does Sid fall easily?

So, many of the sports call in shows and TV shows are saying that TO is looking to move Sundin to 'build for the future' Anybody believe he is gone? Personally I think he will ask to get traded to a contender so he has a reasonable shot at Lord Stanley before he retires :thumbsup

Hmmm, what's up with that?!? I bet he's grumpy.

Anyone else see Domi on the 2 hour NHL Season Preview special on TSN last night? I thought he was a pretty good speaker, had a good knowledge of the teams and players and did a damned good job at all the ribbing he was taking from the rest of the panel :thumbsup

I am one happy camper this morning :-) My NHL Team clinched a playoff spot last night by defeating the Canucks in OT. It came right down to the wire for the SHARKS but they made it in :) Personally I think Joe Thornton deserves the League MVP, without him the Sharks would not have made the...

What do you think is going to go down tomorrow....it should be one hell of a day

I had to turn off the TV after that goal. Two Sens players in front left side of the net, neither one of them went to Drury to take him out. He strolls right in, taking his time, and scores. Unreal. Well, bye bye and see ya next year Sens.

What's the bag limit for Anahiem Ducks----4 :lmfao :lmfao :rofl1 :rofl1

Are there any EA Sports NHL 10 players out there who would be interested in starting up an online league for the PS3?? Shout out. My PS3 nickname is Toxis

Does anyone know if the Eagles will be on any tv station tonight? Want to go to a bar to watch if they show Vick's first game.

With all due respect to McCabe's OT winner the other night :P, I think Jonathan Toews goal last night is the early season winner so far. :thumbsup Anyways, I can't get a link to post, but go to TSN.ca and click on NHL and then click on the "Kane...." headline and click on the highlight...

It looks like January 14-ish will be the drop-dead date for NHL hockey this year. Hockey season, yes or no?

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?

check out the TSN link, Murray says Emery has been told that he will not be returning next year. I think its the right move and they should not even consider having him back next year. http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=234603&lid=sublink02&lpos=headlines_main Also said that although Heatley and...

Maybe we will have a goal tending controversy after all.... http://www.theahl.com/news/league/index.html?article_id=8000

http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=243449&lid=sublink01&lpos=headlines_main Seems that he doesn't have a drug problem - currently. I didn't see the show last night, and have only read the article. Could anyone shed light on what the taping revealed? The article seems to suggest that Emery is "making...

Ray Emery Fights Team Trainer in Russian League: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jG62Z40O40s

Let the goalie controversy begin!!! Should be interesting to see how this will work out.

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...

and be out for up to 3 months...should be back for the start of the season though http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Hockey/NHL/Ottawa/2007/06/21/4278885-sun.html

I'm watching the Habs - Devils game on RDS tonight and I can't believe the number of empty seats in that building! I didn't realize NJ was having that much trouble attracting fans :rolleyes

Poor Ray, just when everyone though he had found his place, he gets into a fight with the team trainer. Apparently while sitting on the bench during a game, the trainer told him to put on the team sponsor's hat and Ray didn't want to. Push came to shove then into blows...... Poor Ray, trouble...

Erik Guay's accomplishment in winning the crystal globe should be front page news. Outstanding! http://sports.sympatico.cbc.ca/abc/News/ContentPosting.aspx?isfa=1&feedname=CBC-SPORTS-V3&showbyline=True&date=true&newsitemid=sp-erik-guay-super-g

Get aload of this ESPN columnist story on why the Leafs should trade Sundin to the Sens. I read it until I saw that he says Mike Fisher should be in the deal.......:rolleyes http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?page=campbell1105 Sens should never part with Mike. He is the heart and soul...

Here we go... :-) I find it quite curious that while the Globe and Mail has reported this story, TSN, who is ultra-quick to report on anything remotely connected to sports, has nothing about this posted anywhere on their site. Hmmmmm. ...

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...

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...

For those old enough to remember, this guy was was a blast to watch. Yes he was flashy but then he had to be, he was a sideshow. It's amazing he didnt die from one of his many jumps. One of the old boys for sure. He died yesterday in his sleep. He was 69, RIP

Serious question here. Does anybody know how many times Toronto has faced the opponent's backup goalie this year? It seems like quite a few.

For those of you who were in a league that had playoffs, how did everyone do? I was in two leagues. I lost in the semifinals in one of them, in the other I actually won the Super Bowl! The biggest move was benching Roethlisberger in favor of Josh Freeman in the final game - and Freeman throws...

The best defense of all time against the best offense of all time. Who do you think wins? Remember, the Bears had a pretty good running back you may have heard of as well - Walter Payton.

Wopster had a great thread about being lucky to see some great historical sports moments, and I thought I'd start a thread to see what people's favourite sports memories in general are. I've been lucky enough to see in person a lot of great sports moments, teams and stars. I saw the Oilers in...

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....

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'm gonna have to pick a New York Jets' shirt now!!! It's gonna be weird to see him playing for another team but at least, some green will remain on his shirt...

Pretty simple - who's more dominant, and why? This came up in another thread, and thought I'd move the discussion here rather than threadjack. In my opinion, Roger Federer is on another planet. Without him in the field, anyone can step up and win a WTP event. Throw him in the mix, and it's a...
