What is wrong with this picture? Where is Oveshkin’s offensive tear? The second line RW Semin is taking his place. Zytnik is playing like before his hit two three years ago against Boston in the playoffs. Cutting through the center, charging the net and Semin is garbing all the lose pucks. The Caps...

So, I love the concept of hockey day in Canada. I've been waiting for about two weeks to see the Sens play the Canadiens today (the game earlier in the week wasn't televised). So, I go to turn on my TV, and low and behold, I get to watch the Battle of Alberta. What the Hell? What happened to...

Holy sheep **** Martha, it blew me away to find out that Bobby Orr turned 60 today! WOW, it seems like just a few years ago (I guess its a few decades) he was the best in the NHL..... God I feel old all of a sudden :rolleyes

It's the toughest year to call in a long time which is a great thing for the game. Who do you think should get the nod so far? Candidates in the running are: Peyton Manning - some say this is his finest season for overcoming the knee surgeries, working with a busted up O-line, and little...

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...

How nice is this of Mario Lemieux having Crosby living with his family, AWESOME: http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/1126631205174_122040405/?hub=TopStories

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...

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...

Let's hope for a huge rout tonite, I just got some tickets and will be at the game tonite, lets go for a huge win!!

One down, 3 more to go. Although the Sharks were not dominate in this game after the first period they got the job done. The winning PP goal was a beauty by Matte Carle. A perfect pass from behind the net by Joe Thornton. :thumbsup I thought Mike Grier was one of the Sharks better players in...

I know that the word "surreal" gets used a lot, especially lately (Alfie, about a million times in the last 24 hours :-)), but it's a pretty surreal feeling to actually live in the town where there's at worst a 1-in-2 chance that the Stanley Cup will come in no more than 3 weeks time. As many...

So which non-traditional hockey market will win the Cup next year? I think some place warm, it has seemed to work the last three seasons. :lmfao (Total tongue in cheek attempt at humour, but you have to see a trend here....)

Looks like Murray is earning his wage already. http://tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=218524&hubname= Signing Fisher for $21 over 5 years sounds great to me, i don't have a doubt that Fisher deserves about $4 a year. When you look at guys like Demitra, Lehtinen, Handzus etc. who make the same, i...

This is getting embarassing now. Looks like the layoff hurt the Rockies and the comeback is just fueling the Sox more. :thumbsup

Will the Pats remain undefeated? If not which team has a possible crack at ending their winning run? Certainly not the Jets nor the dolphins. I don't want this to happen but if it does I am picking the Steelers Sun 11/18/20078:15 PM@BillsSun 11/25/20078:15 PMvsEagles Mon 12/3/20078:30...

Just read on TSN that John Paddock has been fired as the coach. He was offered another position and will take a couple of weeks to think it over.

this is always a good thread! Who do you think is going to be the best Canadian team in the NHL this season?

With the Sens lurking very close to the bottom of the league standings I'm wondering what you all see as their next move. Do you envision a minor trade? A Major Trade? Do you see Hartsburg being fired or perhaps even Murray? What do you think is going to happen? Please provide as much...

Alright, so we are now set. Pittsburgh vs. Arizona. What are your predictions for this one?? Another Arizona upset??

Starting tonight with the Jays/Bosox series, TSN2 will be available on Rogers Channel 1 until the end of May, and then on Channel 98 for VIP subscribers. HD will be available on the current HD theme pack.

It's all going to be made public tomorrow in regards to Danny Heatley's reason for asking for a trade. Read More.

In a time of Prima Donna I am better than you super atheletes, today; the Doc got traded out of Toronto. I used to be a huge baseball fan until the lockout, but have been following a little bit since. All pro atheletes should take a look at this guy who exemplifies class, ethics, and...

do u like the 2010 edition of team canada...personally...i love it!! GO CANADA!! Yes No

Would anyone have predicted a 5-0 shut out to the Leafs? Toronto is the last place team and they score 3 goals in the first period. Of course 4 penalties in the first period didn't help the Senators. I was in disbelief. :biting:

Well, it's my Christmas tomorrow. The season really flew by. :hissyfit: Let's see what you think will happen tomorrow. Vote in the poll and if you have some specifics write a post. Bonus points for you if you can guess the MVP too.

I will put in 4 dozen high end slightly used golf balls (srixons, taylormade TP reds, blacks, hogan apex tour, prov1s.. you can pick from what i have) to anyone who can tell me who will meet in the stanley cup final and how many games the series will go and who will win the cup. The cost to enter...

Just wondering what everyone thinks of this tax break issue. If Dalton goes ahead with his plan, do you really think the Sens would be in jeopardy of leaving town?

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

I found the following two articles quite interesting. An article describing the economics of the NHL: http://www.forbes.com/free_forbes/2004/1129/124.html Of note: "The 30 teams in the NHL lost a combined $96 million (before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) on revenue of...

Even though I was born in New Orleans, I was stunned by the Saints' pounding of the Dallas Cowboys last night. I felt sympathy for the Dallas players, and for Parcels. I would hate to be a Dallas player this coming week.

Every year, there's one team that makes a heck of a run. In my bracket, I have Nevada making it to the final four. I never do well in this pool, but one year I just might fluke it for a million!

What is going on here???? Sens and Pens at 3 on Sat afternoon after playing the first game on Wed. No canadian team for Hockey Night In Canada on Sat night and no late game.....something is not right with that. And then the Sens/Pens play again on Sun?????? At least there is a triple header on Sun.

As I type this I am waiting for the 4th OT period between Dal and Van to start. Its been a pretty exciting night of hockey. A good start for sure. Can't wait for the other series to start later tonight. What did everyone else think of the first night of the playoffs?

I know, they aren't the USSR anymore, and does that also take some of the lustre away from this most recent installment of Canada vs. Russia? In '72 they had a much bigger pool to draw from to make it a much more memorable series and more impressive win for Canada. Granted, I wasn't around but...

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...

http://www.the-top-tens.com/lists/greatest-hockey-players-of-all-time.asp Anyone on this list that shouldn't be?? Anyone missing???

Well, now that Steve Downie has "worked" his way into the Flyers lineup, Sens fans are counting the days until the new Broadstreet Bullies come back to town, and Public Enemy #1 gets to taste the Sens' wrath. Simple question, do the Flyers put Downey in the lineup that night, or do they send him...

For those who DO like our kind of football, it looks like the CFL might just be coming back to Ottawa. With Jeff Hunt in charge, it also looks like this time they may have got this right and WITH local investors with and deep pockets to boot. :thumbsup Can we say re-build Civic Center and Frank...

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

2008 Stanley Cup champs, well done. A great organization and well deserved win. Zetterberg is a deserving Conn Smythe winner. :thumbsup

So, I finally got around to seeing The Express last night, and while I wasn't overly enthused about Dennis Quaid as the coach, I thought the movie was well done. Pretty sad that a guy with that much talent and desire was cut down by leukemia before he even got to his prime. IIRC, the only player in...

Who do you think should carry the flag in the closing ceremony? My suggestion is Joannie Rochette for exempifying Olympic spirit. I would have suggested Clara Hughes for becoming an truly great Olympian (only 4 other athletes have ever earned Summer and Winter medals and she is the only...

Wow!!
