Ha ha ha ha ha!

Looks like there is a pretty long wait between games this week so I have time to check out what's happening in the "eye of the hockey universe!"

Knock on wood that we don't see Meszaros doing this sometime this season. I sure hope its worth the 7 million plus your paying him Leafs Nation.

Boo Ya! I got one! - I definitely upped my asking price on the open market now.

I'm sorry to all the "Offensive Defenseman (or is it men)" but I think you really need a new moniker to describe yourselves. Especially when your pushing the twine in your own net. I have no idea what Offensive Defenseman means and I think we should stone the person who created the term.

Emery in Bingo + some other cool stuff.

Full story

Sugar Ray has been sent to the AHL.... for conditioning... for two games. Looks like a few day's from now it's gonna be time for the "good kind of goaltending controversy" to start. I can see this being a fantastic year for the Senators with both these guys fighting for the top spot.

The Sens continue to roll putting a fifth notch in their belt, with win number five on Wednesday night. I keep hearing the same thing from most of the commentators - this team just seems to shut other teams down in their sleep, and then score goals for breakfast - I think it's brilliant hockey and the Sens are only impressing me more each game. Scoring from many more angles then they "looked like" they could last year I see them as THE TEAM to beat in the NHL. I mean they could actually pick up Forsberg when he feels like picking up his Three-Million dollars.

Sens -vs.- Pens

...wait for it....

In Russia! to start the season next year. Should be made pretty exciting with the snow and ice that they actually get there in winter. I don't see any ice problems for these guys. I'll stop now before I start complaining about the ice conditions in some of the current NHL cities.

Sens 2-0 to start season.

Toronto seems to be a better team this year, in the second period at least.

I have a feeling that the Sens will be picking up lots of points off the Leafs again this year. My thoughts on the two games were overshadowed by the news of the Dany Heatley signing. Here we go anyway. I thought Gerber looked a little more confident but wasn't the goalie who's going to take this team to the heights it achieved last year. Toronto was a one line team and Gerber should have looked a lot better when that line wasn't on the ice, he seemed to be having lots of trouble smothering rebounds. I'll give him props for his positioning, the rebounds were there for the Leafs to jump on, but Gerber was there and square for many of them. Or a Sens stick was there to sweep the puck out of the danger zone.

Hopefully Emery doesn't have the same "relying on the defence to clear his garbage" problem Gerber seems to be having.

Is it just me or did Alfie score the same goal in both games? The only change I saw was the colour of his jersey.

Oh and Sundin tied Sittler's career Leaf goals in the second game. Heres a picture.
