ollie Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 You are and why can't I watch an Ottawa game? You can. But please stop making the claim that we are obssessed with the Leafs when we are not. It seems to be your favourite jab around here but lacks basis in fact.

dave-O Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Whoa, you guys all need to go to work. I can't keep up with this thread.Whitey, I honestly can't figure out what you're getting at here.Voice your opinions. But don’t voice them now, it’s too early. Could you please advise us as to the appropriate point in the season (10 games? 15 games? Xmas?) to make realistic comments about a team's performance? Until then, I guess all I can leave you with is...Go Sens go.Leafs suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 [color:purple]Why can't we all just get along?Funny contrast:The Sens had the greatest team ever, but could barely draw enough fans to pay their players.The Leafs can sell-out every game, and the management knows this therefore they won't bother putting together a decent team.

Whitey Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Complain away Dave, but I find it very funny how quickly people turn on their team when times are a little tough, especially 6 games into the season. Go Leafs Go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmoothedShredder Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Ha!I'm a committed fan... but this seasons been a cold shower so far! It'd be nice if they could hit the net a little more, there's something wrong with the chemestry of the club for sure... I predict some serious infighting in the clubhouse if this continues!As far as talking about hockey, howcome everyone only talks about the fans, the rivalries, and the possesions of players? We never talk about the game on the level of "getting beat to the puck", and "Spezza secretly playing for every other team in the League"... so much. It's like Jerry Springer around here! And just how Dynamic Chara was, if only from his glaring absence on the blueline! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Low Roller Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Do you Sens fans have selective memories or something?? Do none of you remember the owner (Melkin, Malkin, something like that) basically giving fans an ultimatum to buy season tickets or else he's moving the team? Do you not remember the organization not being able to pay their players because they were nearly bankrupt?This was a team that was first in the overall in the league.

rubberdinghy Posted October 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 You talking Mlakar? did that ultimatum ever come true? did we not make it through that troubling time? did Eugene not come in and save the day?DO THE SENATORS NOT RULE THE WORLD?Will the cup be paraded down Bank St next spring?The past is history, or beloved Sens will return the cup to Ottawa, and maybe toss it back in the canal along with the bag of bones. (or was that the Grey Cup?)Needless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberdinghy Posted October 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Spezza skated yesterday with Mike Fisher and Chris Neil, while Heatley was beside Chris Kelly and Antoine Vermette. Patrick Eaves, Dean McAmmond and Alfredsson formed another trio. With Peter Schaefer (hip) out, it appears Denis Hamel, Alexei Kaigorodov and Brian McGrattan will make up the fourth line.I can't wait to see these lines in action.

Jaimoe Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 (edited) As a hockey fan, that wasn't a fun game to watch. Listless play from the Leafs and they didn't play with much passion. The Sens looked good. Some spirited Battle Of Ontario eh? Edited October 25, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberdinghy Posted October 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 The 2nd half of the 2nd period was good...That was about it...Eaves dropping the gloves...Hilarious...Two great quotes from tsn.ca re: the gameVermette scored on another power play at 3:21 of the second period. Fisher sent a cross-ice pass that Vermette, being ineffectively checked by Bryan McCabe, reached for to redirect in. Tucker was off for roughing. He'd pushed Joe Corvo into the end boards from behind.andHeatley made it 5-0 four minutes later. Prancing around the front of the crease, he was treated by would-be Leafs checkers as if he had a contagious disease. Jason Spezza popped the puck out front from the side, and Heatley backhanded it past the beleaguered Raycroft.It feels so good to beat the leafs.
