With all the negativity surrounding the NHL these days, I thought it might be nice to take a look back at some happier times. Have at it, folks!
- For those that missed it yesterday, another Ottawa Senators is headed overseas. Colin Greening has signed on with the Aalborg Pirates in Denmark. Greening joins Erik Condra, Kyle Turris, Erik Karlsson, Jason Spezza, Sergei Gonchar, Kaspars Daugavins, and Peter Regin as Senators that have found work during the lockout.

I also LOVE Neil's hit on Boychuck, it has to be the most crushing hit I've ever seen Neil make:

Love the "Hang On" from Bob Cole after the goal. As if he actually felt there was a chance SBP was coming down from the noise.

Wow. 8 years later and that one still got the heart rate going. Bob Cole at his finest.

Jani was unable to drop the gloves; his trapper was fastened too tightly, and he couldn't get his left hand free. He needed help from his teammates on the bench....Classi c!

This is Matt Carkners triple overtime goal against Penguins in playoffs, two years ago.
I dont know why anybody didnt send it here already. It was my best sens related memory. I remember it as it was yesterday, I was jumping around house for like 15 minutes, and it was like 6 a.m. Unforgettable

I would very much like to see this happen again. End the lockout!!!!
I was at that game; one of the greatest atmospheres I have ever experienced.
The 2D jersey was about a million times classier, and the 3D jersey is such a joke.
It was a cash grab plain and simple, and something I'll never forgive the team for doing. We looked much better in the old ones
Two great awesome ottawa senators spoofed music videos.

Everybodies forgotten Alfie #400!
i remember i game against the thrashers in 2008-2009, where we were up 5-3 when joe corvo was called for a brutal penalty, Dany Heatley(the smart ind individual he is) too it upon himself to skate by the ref and make a remark. Well, the ref turned around and sent hater with corvo for the full 2 minutes. then this happened....

These clips USED to mean something to me.
what about writing an article like if the nhl started today what would be our lineup.
whats wrong with Ben Bishop? lehner is playing well right now and if the nhl started today i would asume he would get the call to play with anderson as backup until he gets his practice routine going.
at this point i dont see bishop in the nhl if he can't crack the ahl lineup.
lot of young guns would probably replace some fringe players who are out of game shape too.
this could be a circus for a few weeks if a deal does get done in the next few days.
Also why are we using lawson to backup lehner? chevrie looked great in camp... lawson looks horrible and he still was the backup on sunday after his big 6 goal 1/2 game night. bishop is nowhere at the moment.
Lets not be too hard on Lawson after that game, its just one game. and the boys did nothing to help him after a few goals went in.
as for Lehner i think its clear that hes our future tender for the next decade, the kid got skill, fire and determination and WILL be a top 5 goalie in the league one day.
Bishop just signed not long ago to even play in the AHL, let the guy get up to speed before you assume he's fallen off the tracks. He'll still be there with Lehner through most of the remaining season.
Lawson is just not good enough for pro level shooters, but thankfully there'll be better prospects within a year or two to replace him.
Other than Datsyuk & Malkin... let them stay.
As per the IIHF -- they would not be eligible to play in the World Championships or the Olympics if they don't go back to the NHL.
Nobody put a gun to their head to sign those big contracts.. if the loved the KHL so much.. they should have signed there.

@DarrenDreger: NHL remains firm, willing to negotiate with the PA by only working off NHL offer tabled last Tues. NHL wants next meeting to be an end pt.
@DarrenDreger: When asked if the CBA negotiation is about to go into a deep freeze, B. Daly said "I suspect so. Back to the drawing board. Unfortunate."
@DarrenDreger: The union has offered to meet, but, unless PA is willing to work off NHL's offer, Daly says there's no reason to meet.
======================================
It doesn't look like there will be an 82 game schedule this season... question is will there be a season at all.
Both sides will realize when this league does get back to playing, the revenue they will be splitting will have dropped significantly and they have no one to blame but themselves.
Greed pure greed. Now let's see how angry the fans really get when talks break off for a very long time.
LOOKS LIKE THE SEASON IS IN FACT TOAST.
It's one thing to train at the gym and casually skate with their teammates during this off time, but they can't keep their skills and minds sharp when they aren't playing competitive hockey somewhere.
@ Sandy,
You have said it all, and this morning in today's Ottawa Citizen, there is a photo of Alfredsson on the ice, with Loui and Hugo (his 2 sons) playing hockey.
Alfie said the longer this stalemate goes on, the less he wants to come back to play.
Someone needs to blink again, or this will never get resolved, and it will last into 2013 ??
Maybe after missing 3 paycheques, the players will revolt,
and push Donald Fehr to settle !!
I'm a HOCKEY fan. Bring up the AHL and start giving IT the media coverage the NHL gets.
People will start watching and forgetting about all these little whiney bitches.
OR
REPLACEMENT PLAYERS-I'm an Ottawa Senators fan, I cheer for anyone who puts that logo on their chest, it's as simple as that.
Fuck these guys, we don't need them.
1) there are less people that want to watch AHL hockey so the viewers might not be where they need them
2) a lot of the rinks likely dont meet the needs of a major broadcaster so the picture quality wouldn't live up to their standards.
What might be an interesting option would be to have the baby teams play a few more games at Scotia bank as well as the other teams home ice. They could broadcast those games if they were publicized properly and I'd certainly go se a few.
