Hey all.
Well the Sen's are playing right now, yet I am not watching the game. It is on the PPV tonight. $10.95 plus tax to watch a hockey game...I don't think so. When you pay $65 a month for Sattelite it should be enough to get the game on TV.
Thank god for AM radio! At least that is still free.

Been awhile...oops
Sorry to all for not posting for awhile. This blog thing is hard unless you really put forth the effort. For those that know me, I have a very short attention span and get distracted very easily...
I digress...
Congrats to Brian Kilrea on his amazing record of getting the Ottawa 67's into the OHL playoffs for the 29th time in 30 years.....An impressive record considering the ever changing dynamics of an OHL team every year.
Now onto the Ottawa Senators....Ray Emery has been lights out for most of the season, but lately sweet Ray (a boxing reference here) has not provided the goal tending when they need it the most in the third period. 4 out of the last 5 games have been blown leads by the Sen's (yes Gerber was the victim of one as well), but the Goaltenders especially Emery who will probably carry the load need to make up for this teams defensive shortcomings...Besides Chris Phillips, Anton Volchenkov and Tom Priessing, this team is very suspect on the "D". Wade Redden is having a horrible season and he would be the first to admit that, but he is a veteran player who I think will be a gamer come playoff time. Mezaro's is in a sophomore slump, hopefully he can get out of it, and Joe Corvo, well needs to sit a game or two and catch his breath.
Will blog tomorrow for sure.

Winds of Change
Hey All.
With a week left until the trade deadline in the NHL, here are my thoughts on what the Sen's could do.
A hard nosed take no prisoner, yet smart forward. Yes yes every team wants one of these, but with a Bill Guerin and Gary Roberts out there it may not be a bad idea to pick one of those two up.
Shed Joe Corvo's salary.....He has not lived up to expectations and if he can be moved then I don't see a downside to it. Same goes for Martin Gerber.

Been awhile
Hey all.
Been a bit since I blogged but with the lack of much real interesting stuff going on in Ottawa lately, there has not been much to say.
Since last I blogged, my dishwasher and furnace both broke and I have a raccoon living under my deck (oh ya...I live in suburbia so the raccoon thing is not good).
Friday night, Brian Kilrea (Killer) will be behind the Ottawa 67's bench for his 2000th game in the OHL. An amazing accomplishment for sure and he deserves all the accolades that comes with it. I don't think we will ever see another like him.
Word around town is that NHL boss Gary Bettman will be in attendance along with numerous other former players, coaches and friends of Killer.
I have loved the Team 1200 ad's chronicling the life of Killer that have been running lately. Dave Schrieber is awesome in them. His enthusiasm is great!
Will blog on Saturday for sure...Leafs at Sens...........

Hockey Night NOT IN OTTAWA
Hey All.
Hockey night in Canada does not include Ottawa once again. Last game before the All-star game yet no Hockey Night In Ottawa...Sucks ass...CBC can kiss my butt.

For Those Who Want to Trade
Hi all.
Well the radio airwaves here in Ottawa the past few weeks have been all over Jason Spezza, who is not even playing right now as he is injured. People seem to think that since the Sen's are doing so well without him that he is expendable now.
I say GET A LIFE PEOPLE...Spezza is one of the top 20 players in the league, at 4 million a season for this year and next year is not a huge cap hit for a player of his stature. Sure he is not perfect and he has on more then one occasion elisted a few 4 letter words out of my mouth while watching him, but the upside definelty is better then the downside.

A New Friend with a Great Sports Take
Hey Everyone.
Check out the new link to my blog.
http://www.fearandloathinginottawa.com/index.html
Here you can find Local things going on in and around Canada’s capital that interest the host - someone who wants to challenge the idea that Ottawa (and its surrounding suburbs) is little more than a boring, stodgy, dull government town. So if you're looking for a unique take on the local entertainment, social and political scene, you've come to the right place.
Also a big sports guy and you can hear yours truly on the latest podcast. http://www.fearandloathinginottawa.com/podcasts/FLO25.mp3
Enjoy.
