Ottawa Senators 2007-2008 Season Thread

[PEI Golfing]

Back to PEI...

I suppose the link to the other thread regarding what I said about the Canadiens player has some relevance to this thread (although very little). I appreciate you keeping tabs on the posts I make you disagree with. Although, I'd even more appreciate it if you kept a post entirely intact within the thread so that people could see the frame of reference with which the post was made.


Fallys
aka Scott

If the forum audience would like the entire "play-by-play" of that thread, all they have to do is "click" on the link titled "Thread: McCabe's goal" at the top right-hand corner of your post.

Have a good read folks.............

[PEI Golfing]

Great to finally get that WIN !!! Its been sooooooooooooooooo long................

It was not a pretty win, but Sens played fairly solid hockey.

The offense seemed to be clicking again, still a few defensive blunders though.
Emery played not bad. His lateral movement in the net seems to be "off". Notice he drifts all over the place, which was also evident on the late "wrap around" goal by the Panthers. Hopefully, the more he plays the timing/movement will come back.

Now on to Dallas..........!!!

GO SENS !!!

[Colby]

Then angle that was in the replay loop on Sportsnet last night did not show the puck ever coming close to the stick. I did not see the overhead shot, so if anyone has a link to that view, I'd love to see it and would appreciate it.

Colby, in response to your post, I can accept that as the truth if it is. My problem then lies with the rule itself. If a puck truly deflects off of a skate and in, under ignorance of the player who's foot gets hit, then it's a goal, a deflection, lucky shot to get the deflection. If you can "escort" the puck into the net by purposefully angling your foot at the goal, but not allowing your leg to make a kicking motion, where is the actual difference in the intent of the action? I find that ludicrous. But I guess that's just me! lol.

Scott,

The rule is here:

As long as there is no kicking motion, it is considered a deflection off of a player.

Well last night was much better!!!!

Anyone see the Fisher incident????

[Indio]

They 1st line played very well but it is hard to guage how good they were since Carolina didn't even show up to play. They looked terrible.

Me thinks he will get a 1 or 2 game suspension for the headbut on Fisher....

[jonf]

That was one heck of a fight (up until the head butt). I think Walker will get a couple of games, but I also sympathise with what Milbury was saying during the intermission - Don't fight with a visor on...it doesn't work. I much prefer it when both players unstrap their helmets before a fight, but fighting with a visor makes it way too tough on the other guy.

He got 1 game only. Probably fits the crime so to speak.

Can't believe we blew that game last night. Heatley seemed like a man on a mission. Damn Phillips, he's usually rock solid too.

COUGH COUGH

You have to admit it was a heck of a pass to Toews!

Need some Cough Medicine Rick, there is a bad cold going around??

Oh yeah, and in case you haven't noticed, as of right now your beloved Sharks have 7 less points in the standings, and have scored 29 fewer goals than the Sens (while playing 1 more game I might add) so I'd be worrying about your boys as opposed to ours

..........especially given the massive production that you're getting out of your strong supporting cast like Marleau and Cheechoo

[sillywilly]

cheechoo... what a wicked name!!!!

Uhhhhhhhh in case you have not noticed Scotty boy, the West is a bit tougher division than the East!

Don't you be worrying bout my West Coast team! I seem to recall a West Coast Team is currently holding onto the Stanley Cup

One thing we both agree on, the LEAFS SUCK and Marleau and Cheechoo are having a terrible season so far. But there is plenty of time left to turn that around.

Have a Merry Christmas!

Hope you are enjoying the nice warm weather out on the Left (er I mean West) Coast. O'h sorry.........I forgot you live in St. Thomas, Ontario and cheer for a team in the United States which is 3,000 miles away.............

Is it against the law to cheer for a team 3000 miles away?

No one told me you had to cheer for a team from Ontario just because you live in Ontario.

GO SHARKS GO

Just guessing but were you a Bruins fan about 3 years ago?

Good thing you did not bet money on that because you would have lost big time. Never been a Bruins fan.
Sharks only.

A smart man never guesses

I think we also agree that Joe is DA MAN!!

Not sure if I'm willing to agree that the West is tougher than the East just yet but parody is abound in the league this year for sure.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to you and Yours Rick!!

Hopefully Santa will surprize you with some nice golf related gifts

Gifts? What are those? I am sure I wll get a gift but not likely any golf related ones. I have all I need in that category. I am going to buy an new amateur radio transceiver this week so that will be my gift. Trying to keep it under $1000 and I think I can do that.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Rick--do you know how many golf balls 1000.00$ will buy--either that or a downpayment for your own personal cart It's OK I'M bored -- just waiting to go and pick up my Mom for dinner--all my cooking is done

Apparently Mr. Emery has lost his patience with the Sens. They were saying on SportsNet tonight that he walked off the ice in the middle of practice when he found out the Gerber was starting tonight, swinging his stick and cursing. It appears that he can launch water bottles quite high up in the stands!

Me thinks this is going to start to become a distraction to the team.

Bye Bye Ray - that crap has NO PLACE in a dressing room

I don't know if many teams would want him at this point Ya can't give him away for nothing after all he is a wquality goalie when he is happy and on top of his game.

[Indio]

So what are the bets Emery is traded or suspended soon. He showed up late for practice today and the coach was waiting for him at the players entrance to tell him to take the day off.

Alfredson called him out in an interview saying Gerber is our number 1 goalie and if Ray wants to go back in he is going to have to try harder.

I give him till February 1st at the latest unless he turns it around.

He had a valid excuse, he told the media he slept in.

[fundonny]

That was one wild game last night. Feel bad for anyone that left with 10 minutes left in the 3rd.

[jonf]

Man, the NHL better hurry up and make the nets bigger before we all get bored to death by this low scoring hockey.

Then we are screwed, because Gerber can't stop the puck.

Just against Washington. They won't make the playoffs, we'll be okay!

[mpare]

The Sens are not looking very sharp. Their inability to play 3 periods of hockey is worrisome. That kind of psychological flaw can be fatal to any dreams of winning Lord Stanley's Cup. Here's hoping they wake up, and soon.
