A Storm is Brewing
A storm is brewing, the likes of which the collective hockey world has never seen before. Right now the NHL and the NHLPA are on a collision course, with potential two of the worst leaders at the helm.

The NHL is led by a universally disliked, cocky lawyer who has no qualms about making a hockey issues – his own personal war.

Gary Bettman took over as commissioner of the NHL in ’93 after a lengthy run as senior vice-president and general counsel for the NBA. Since...

The Cap'n is adding to his "Clutch"
It's been a while since I've done a blog but this is definitely blog worthy if there is such a thing. I've been itching to tell people for quite some time now and since the IPS screening has come up with no problems I feel confident spreading the word. My wife is 19 weeks pregnant and is due on August 9th. No we don't know what it is and the plan is to not find out until it's born. Our daughter is now just under 18 months old and will be just under 23 months when our second child is due. Bring on the chaos!

The death of Olympic hope: how Canada's games have gone awry
Thirty-five.

That was the target in 2004.

After Vancouver was awarded the 2010 Olympic Winter Games that year, an independent firm was
commissioned to study the Own the Podium program.

They came up with 35 – the projected number of medals it would take to finish at the top of the medal
standings in 2010. It was a lofty number for a country that had never finished atop the medal standings in any Olympics.

They...

Should the A-Train make a one way trip out of town?
We all know the value of Volchenkov and what he brings to the table as Sens fans. What is that worth? Is it worth more to the Senators as a member of our Defense core or as a trade-able asset?

Lets be honest here. Based on the Senators performance so far this season it does not look like a playoff bound team. Sure we currently hold down a playoff spot with games in hand but, based on our winning percentage spread over the full season we can expect to miss the playoffs this year unless there is a bit of a turn around over then next month or two. Even if we make the playoffs does...

Cory Clouston & the Sens: new beginning, or same results?
I had to wait a day or so after the Tampa Bay blowout before making sure I wasn't still high from that tilt. It's now Saturday late morning and I am anxiously waiting for the Habs and Sens tilt this evening and I thought now would be a good time to throw out some thoughts I have had recently in regards to my beloved Sens.

I honestly cannot remember when The Sens have ever had this much depth, to be able to pick and choose forwards or defense. Now, we're not SUPER deep, but from a fan from day #1, I don't think I've ever been more comfortable with our lineup and with the current direction...

Talk is Cheap - The Official GMH slogan for the SENS 09/10 season
Talk is Cheap. I was at the game last night and started to think about who I should bring up in the thread dedicated to this GMH slogan for the Sens 09/10 season. I found myself coming up with several and felt that a simple comment wouldn’t do justice to the players that are exemplifying the “Talk is Cheap” slogan. You could almost list the entire team for their efforts last night but I will limit this blog to my top 5.

Sinking in the East: What's happening with the Maple Leafs
When the Toronto Maple Leafs announced just before
training camp had started that they had acquired Phil Kessel via trade, many
fans and pundits figured that Brian Burke was confident enough in his roster to
make a splash and try to push his team over the top into a playoff spot –
something that has eluded Toronto for almost five years now.

But with expectations at a five-year high, it has
been anything but a steady march to the ides of May.

The Maple Leafs...

Grand opening of the new Blog World
The original GMHockey Blog world has been giving me some headaches due to an inability to synchronize with the forum so all existing members can blog in there. Since Forumotion has added a blogging option directly on the forum I thought it would be a better option since everything is in one place rather than re-directing to a seperate site.

I don't know how this will work exactly so this is why I'm posting this. Consider it a test run so to speak. Let me know what you think of this new set up.
