I've always hated any statement that begins with, "If the season were to end today..." The season doesn’t end today. It’s a flawed premise which makes it a flawed statement. So any person using that statement is a complete idiot. That being said…IF THE SEASON WERE TO END TODAY, THE SENS WOULD BE IN THE PLAYOFFS!!!! Right. We're 11 games in. Too early for parade planning....
by Kevin Schultz Filed under: NHL Media Watch , NHL Videos When was the last time that the evening Sportscenter (I'm not talking about Sportscentre , mind you) led off with a teaser about something that happened in the hockey world? That's a rhetorical question, since I'd have to do a lot of digging through a lot of film that I don't have access to to find the answer. Maybe it was when the Penguins...

The Penguins and Flyers don't exactly exchange Christmas cards, but can't we expect some sense of decorum? By that I mean can we expect that players won't haul off and bite each other in the first month of the season? In that scuffle in the video above, the Penguins are alleging that Philadelphia's Scott Hartnell bit Kris Letang . You can see Letang make a run for it to be treated by doctors. After...
Penguins defenseman Kris Letang ( right ) wouldn't exactly say what happened to his finger during his scrum with Flyers forward Scott Hartnell at the end of tonight's game. He simply directed the media to ask Hartnell. On FSN Pittsburgh postgame coverage, Letang said: " He knows what he did. Go ask Hartnell ." " It's a first for me. I want to be certain that you ask him and make sure...
We've all read the papers, seen the features and heard the talk; Bryan Murray is looking to move a veteran out before the season starts. Allow me to weigh in on this situation... The most obvious choice is Christoph Schubert. We all know there's no market for the guy right now but I wouldn't be surprised to see Ottawa put him through the waiver wire before the season starts. It has been suggested to...
Things have been pretty quiet since the Heatley mess wrapped up but there are a few rumours that are still coming in. Had a chance to speak with a couple different contacts this morning and here are some of the rumours. Obviously, Bryan Murray is looking at moving out a veteran or two to make room for the youngsters. Moving veteran contracts is extremely difficult at this time of year with so many...
PREGAME Greetings from the final preseason game at Mellon Arena. You are reading live on a warm late summer day. You can't find a cloud in the sky. It was a marvelous afternoon to walk up to the Arena. Looking down the Boulevard of the Allies: -PPG's evil corporate lair: -Remember how we showed you how Market Square was all ripped up just in time for the G20 on Tuesday: -Well guess what brilliant...
Just a quick morning update. As mentioned yesterday, the Senators may be looking to move out a body or two before the season get started as they would like to open up a spot for one of the young guys. It should come as no surprise but the two prime candidates to be shipped out are Christoph Schubert and Shean Donovan. I wouldn't expect a return of much more than a draft pick if Murray can find a taker...
