hrmm - maybe the article is right then -
not to familar on Chris Joseph...

(hopefully this isn't showing my age too much)

[Calgarian]

There is no Chris Joseph as far as I know, and Curtis joseph is now 40. I smell bullshit.

Thank you Mersar. I had never heard of this guy before.

[mersar]

That's not that surprising. It looks like he spent at least part of every season playing WHL or AHL, didn't get that much ice time with Edmonton (he played nearly twice as many games with the Lightning during the year he got traded there, then the two previous years with Edmonton combined)

[Coldrsx]

buff/otta tonight was awesome!

[ctown.myth]

^^ Who won?

BOO DET!

[The Chemist]

Ottawa, 5-2.

Go Sens!

[Coldrsx]

^won 5-2 but it was more like a 3-2 game.

#45 on buff must be upset today:

-gave puck away for 1st goal
-took penalty for 2nd goal
-didnt have his man for 3rd goal.

ouch!

[Smron]

Not a lot of Ottawa fans here? They are kickin' ass.

[Coldrsx]

do they have a team...good for them.

[Xelebes]

Did they win another game?

[Coldrsx]

i have to say that Ottawa looks like they deserve the cup...they impress me more than any team ive seen this year.

[Smron]

They are 11-2 in the playoffs. Emery has 3 shutouts, and the big line has combined for 51 points thus far, including Alfredsson's 9 goals in 13 games. They shut down Crosby, found a lot of holes in Brodeur, and are outplaying the team that won the President's Trophy. No big deal.

[Rusty van Reddick]

Ottawa is fucking DOMINANT. Amazing, amazing team. They completely demoralised NJ and they're doing the same to Buffalo. They can beat anybody.

[The Chemist]

This is without a doubt the Senators' year. I don't think anyone is beating this team this year. Alfie is amazing - he's going to win the Conn Smythe, I think.

Go Sens Go!

[Nutterbug]

The Sens are amazing. They make plucking the puck away from the Sabres look easy anytime. I could watch their penalty kills with complete relaxation, since there's a next to nil chance Buffalo's going to score on them.

Too bad they couldn't top it off with a goal throughout most of today's game, partly with the bad officiating and commendable goaltending by Miller. The hockey gods kept it balanced by giving them a near-own goal for Alfredsson's easy tap-in though.

[keninhalifax]

Good to see people supportive of the Senators! Let's hope we face Hasek in the Cup finals and give him a taste of our youthful resilience.

[Calgarian]

Holy crap! a Sens fan. lol

Ottawa's gettin the cup!!!

[Rusty van Reddick]

Keninottawa- what's it like in Ottawa? Are people going nuts?

Would love to be there!!!

[Wooster]

The senators looked poised to win. Very impressive. I wouldn't mind if they win, they deserve it as they have been very smart in building their franchise the way they have. They are pretty much the opposite of the leafs! Man, that's going to sting for leafs fans. ouch.

[circle33]

! Man, that's going to sting for leafs fans. ouch.

I might be a rarity of a Leaf fan, as the Sens have been my #2 team ever since the Nords decamped for Denver.

Just bring the cup back to Ontario, where it belongs.

[ac888yow]

Mandatory karma statement: Let's just get to the cup final first.

Now that I've got that out of the way, part of me would love to see us face Detroit in the final so we can try shred Dom's groin into retirement.

[malek]

Just bring the cup back to Ontario, where it belongs.

:haha: :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha:

Yes, people are going nuts (although, considering Ottawa's somewhat low standard of what 'going nuts' is, this isn't surprising). Some are already speculating as to where we should hold our victory parade. Heard on the CBC: "Calgary and Edmonton both had their spots. We should all go swimming in the Rideau Canal!"

Great! And I will watch from dry land.

[Rusty van Reddick]

The time to laugh was when your team didn't make the playoffs.

Any major Boulevard or Avenue should do the job. Just don't do it in a parking lot...cough cough New Jersey cough cough!

which team was it that completely shit the bed and pretty much lost every game for the last 1/3 or the season? oh yeah, now I remember, Edmonton. :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha:

[Calgarian]

I predict a Detroit Ottawa final, I bet the Rew Wings would love that, they must be getting tired of flying across the entire continent a couple times a week.

Yonge Street. :haha:

Nah! Young Street is too far away...they should have it on Ste-Catherine street. After all, Ottawa is a suburb of Montreal!;)

On second thought, forget what I said...keep the parade in Ottawa.

[m0nkyman]

The Queensway. At rush hour. Planned and executed by the NCC.

Buffalo woman punched in head after Senators game
Last Updated: Thursday, May 17, 2007 | 11:21 AM ET
CBC News

Two men were arrested after they allegedly assaulted a woman from Buffalo after the Senators' loss to the Buffalo Sabres in Ottawa Wednesday night.

Sean Luck said his wife, Renee Luck, who was wearing Buffalo Sabres colours and logos, was walking in front of him through the corridors of Scotiabank Place as they tried to leave the stadium with about six other Sabres fans.

'They just seemed like they were pissed off because the Senators lost.'— Sean Luck

"Two guys that were clearing the section to our right, as they were walking out, punched my wife four times — in the head," Luck said. "They just seemed like they were pissed off because the Senators lost."

Luck said his wife has two large bumps on her forehead, one on her cheek and a cut on her cheek from the assault.

Some Senators fans helped hold the two suspects until police arrived, he added.

The two men were arrested and later released, Ottawa police said.

As of Thursday morning, Const. Isabelle Lemieux said police were still investigating.

The Buffalo Sabres beat the Ottawa Senators 3-2 in Game 4 of the NHL Eastern Conference final at Scotiabank Place, crushing Ottawa fans' hopes that their team would sweep the series Wednesday night.

Game 5 is to take place in Buffalo Saturday afternoon.

[Calgarian]

Why the hell would someone punch a woman?

[circle33]

I'm willing to wager alcohol was a factor.

[harls]

Sounds like nothing to do with being a Senators fan and everthing to do with being idiots. Assholes.

[Nutterbug]

Why the hell would someone punch a woman?

Not saying this was the case here, but the "what goes around comes around" principle should apply to them too, right? Maybe there's more to the story.

[Riise]

With some people saying that Senators fans aren't very passionate this must be another knock for Sens fans, even their hooligans suck... You are suppose to attack the other team's Alpha males and any sort of authority that tries to intervene, not women! ;)

[MolsonExport]

Sounds like nothing to do with being a Senators fan and everthing to do with being idiots. Assholes.

Hear, hear!

[waterloowarrior]

Sens going to the final !

[Downtown Bolivar]

Congrats Sens! Really hated you guys before this series, but will definitely be cheering for you in in cup. You have a team with a lot of heart and a lot of grit--two things the Sabres were lacking this year. Go Sens Go! Keep the cup in the East!

[Rusty van Reddick]

Why the hell would someone punch a woman?

Because she's trying to stab you? Because she's trying to murder your sister? A woman in Calgary just choked her invalid husband to death, you don't think there was cause to punch her?

A better question is they someone would punch ANYone, and one answer is because some people are asking for it. If a woman is viciously beating an infant, I say punch away.

Oh, and GO SENS!!!!!!!

[401_King]

^ stupid sens fans. just as stupid as some idiot driving downtown T.O today waving a sens flag. we threw hotdogs at his car...:D

[Nutterbug]

^ We feel the same way with the occasional Flamers fans waving their flags on our turf.

[kirjtc2]

Food for thought...

King Clancy was traded from Ottawa to Toronto back in the 20s. When he found out of the trade, he was so angry that he "cursed" the Senators on his way out the door saying, "The Ottawa Senators will never win another Stanley Cup until 20-years after I'm dead".

He died in 1986.

It's called following up to it. Obviously, the statement wasn't directed at myself.

Anyways, the TSN hockey panel was discussing where they should hold the parade, and it was like Healy stole my idea when he jokingly suggested "Yonge St." something like a day after I did.

[Calgarian]

So was that Detroit's last kick at the can?

[Hardhatdan]

Oilers just got another first round draft pick.
Now for that shitheap pronger to lose in the finals again.

[scumtoes]

ducks will take the cup.

euro captain vs. a north american captain will not be broken this year.

it will be a hell of a SCF series, though. just like the other two (year's past).

[bayrider]

Too bad it's in this year's draft... a pretty shitty draft pool once past the top 5.

Healy is a moron. The guy shouldn't be on TV period. I can't believe people actually take into consideration the garbage that is spewed from that man's mouth. The guy is a complete waste of space. By some strange chance that I actually hear his voice, I think I actually become stupider.

[scumtoes]

Too bad it's in this year's draft... a pretty shitty draft pool once past the top 5.

oilers have the ducks first round pick this year as part of the pronger trade. and now that the ducks made it to the SCF, they get their first round pick next year.

5 first round picks for the next two years. :cheers:

[feepa]

Too bad it's in this year's draft... a pretty shitty draft pool once past the top 5.

actually, the one the oilers just got for Anaheim winning the WCF, is for 2008 draft, and not the upcoming on this summer

Thanks,

[bayrider]

Well Oiler fans should hope the Ducks tank next season to pick pretty high. Isn't Tavares eligible for the draft in 08?

Who else did the Oilers get 1st rounders from?

[ctown.myth]

WTF happened to the Sens last night?!? Everyone was expecting them to win the first game!

[Calgarian]

the 9 day layoff seemed to take it's toll.

[bigcanuck]

^^It was also a road game against a strong team - I don't know if I'd say they were 'expected' to win.

[Canadian Mind]

Why the hell would someone punch a woman?

why the hell did the husband let 4 shots fly?

[y2k_pony]

Ducks are definately the better team. They should beat Ottawa fairly easy.

Report: NHL nears proposal for KC, Las Vegas expansions

Pittsburgh Business Times - 8:53 AM EDT Thursday, June 7, 2007
Speculation is growing that the National Hockey League is about to propose an expansion into Kansas City and Las Vegas, according to a report by SportsBusiness Daily on Wednesday.

SportsBusiness Daily, a publication affiliated with the Pittsburgh Business Times, reported a buzz among hockey sources at Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Monday about an imminent announcement on expansion into Las Vegas and Kansas City.

When asked about the speculation, NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly stated in an e-mail to SportsBusiness Daily, "I don't know if or when there might be an announcement."

Daly also said that the NHL Board of Governors made no decisions about expanding the league and that no agreement exists with anyone to own an expansion team.

Kansas City made a strong bid for the Pittsburgh Penguins before the NHL team reached a deal for a new arena in Pittsburgh.

I heard on the radio today that there might be an announcement today about the Nashville Predators moving to Hamilton.

[ctown.myth]

This soon? Weren't they supposed to hold a meeting on the 20th?

[SteelTown]

Yes, the 19th is when the NHL will give it's blessing or not. After that NHL board of governors on the 20th, if majority agrees then Hamilton could be looking at a team in 2008-2009 season.

Tonight well shortly now they'll announce Balsillie agreed to take over Copps, Hamilton Place and Convention Centre.

So is Mike Keenan the new coach for the Flames or what? Can a Flames fan confirm this?

So is Mike Keenan the new coach for the Flames or what? Can a Flames fan confirm this?

From what they said on the score, it's just a rumor.

[ctown.myth]

It might not be just a rumor:

http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/story/2007/06/13/nhl-flames-keenan.html?ref=rss

It might be just speculation, but anyone can see why the management would want a change.

[skrish]

Please Sutter, do not get Keenan

[ctown.myth]

I've heard much about him, is he good? (As a Flames coach, I mean)

[skrish]

I've heard much about him, is he good? (As a Flames coach, I mean)

He won a cup, but always has problems with players and management.

[The Kid]

Ya, Keenan is not my first choice either but at the same time, Playfair has got to go.

[mersar]

They were talking about it on QR tonight, from what they've heard Playfair is out as coach but is staying with the flames for god only knows what reason. Keean isn't my choice either, but I'm with The Kid, Playfair had to go.

Supposedly the official announcement will be tommorow afternoon.

[ScottFromCalgary]

I'm not sure whether to be outraged or excited.

[Rusty van Reddick]

Bring on Keenan. I have no problems with this whatsoever.

[CCF]

Bring on Keenan. I have no problems with this whatsoever.

Yeah until he has your best players traded. He always has issues with players.

Oh well, got us Luongo!

[cornholio]

Yeah until he has your best players traded. He always has issues with players.

He also lost us a bunch of players back in the 90's;)

AHHAHA - Mike Keenan, the only thing this guy has ever accomplished was riding the backs of old Oiler Alumni in 94 to win the cup with Messier...

So much for any playoff/stanley cup dreams from the Flames next year, and well, with all the ufa/fas after that.....

Oilers are no longer the worst team in Alberta...


Best hockey news of the month!!!!

Keenan to Calgary? It's a possibility
It looks like "Iron Mike" could be back in business behind the bench of an NHL team.

Sources tell TSN that Mike Keenan is on the verge of becoming the new head coach of the Calgary Flames.

While the Flames declined to comment when contacted by TSN today, sources confirm Keenan is currently in Calgary and if all goes as expected, the well-travelled NHL executive and coach could be announced as the head coach of the Flames as early as Thursday.

If so, that would appear to leave current Flames' head coach Jim Playfair as odd man out, but if Keenan is able to finalize his deal with the Flames, it's possible Playfair may be kept in the organization, but his fate remains unclear at this point.

The Flames went 43-25-10, finishing 8th in the Western Conference last season under Playfair. They lost to the Detroit Red Wings in the first round of the playoffs.

Keenan's last job in the NHL was with the Florida Panthers where he was replaced by Jacques Martin just prior to the 2006-07 season. The Panthers were Keenan's seventh NHL team. He began his NHL career as head coach of the Philadelphia Flyers in 1984. He captured the Jack Adams trophy awarded to the league's top coach in 1985 while leading the Flyers to the Stanley Cup Final. He also took the Chicago Blackhawks to the Finals in 1992.



In 1993-94, he was hired as head coach of New York Rangers and led the franchise to its first Stanley Cup win since 1940. Keenan also served as head coach and GM as the St. Louis Blues, Vancouver Canucks, and Boston Bruins.

Keenan began his coaching career with the Peterborough Petes of the Ontario Hockey League.

Iron Mike has been behind the bench for 1,014 games with 569 wins, 447 losses, 140 ties and 20 overtime losses.

Keenan is expected to meet with Flames officials Thursday morning to finalize his contract.
