It's like Ray Emery.....he has yet to play against the sens in Ottawa. I think he'll finally get his shot next Friday.

Ray Emery will? Are we playing the Hawks? And if so...will they have a new goalie by then?

We're playing the hawks on Friday March 2nd. Who knows what their goalie situation will be, but I think they'll have Khabibullin back....I would assume Emery will stay on as the backup, and if so, I'm sure he'll get the start.

Khabibulin is out a week to 10 days. He also plays for the Oilers. Sarcasm

I know. Meant that they'll trade for him!

by **wprager** on Tue Feb 21, 2012 7:39 pm

But he's out 7-10 days. You can't trade someone on the IR (although I don't think he is).

by **shabbs** on Tue Feb 21, 2012 7:47 pm

Scoreboard watching:
- Devils up 2-1 on the Leafs after 1

Sure you can. How else do you explain Leclaire getting traded to us? Laugh1

Sorry, I guess I was thinking of waivers or buyouts -- you can't do one or the other (or both) when the player is on the IR. I think.

Leafs tie it up, then Devils re-claim the lead. MacArthur and Ponikarovsky have both scored for the Devils.

Winnipeg ahead 4-3, now half way through the third.

Rangers still sleeping.

Habs down 1-0to Dallas; someone named Garbutt with his first.

Buffalo up 2-0 on the Islanders.

Columbus destroying the Sharks 6-2. What's happening???!

by **Hobiesens** on Tue Feb 21, 2012 9:34 pm

Leaf tie it up with less than 1 minute to go.

by **shabbs** on Tue Feb 21, 2012 9:36 pm

Frig. Leafs-Devils going to OT.

by **SpezDispenser** on Tue Feb 21, 2012 9:36 pm

Diddle, clutch goal by Kessel.

by **shabbs** on Tue Feb 21, 2012 9:37 pm

Flyers - Jets headed for OT as well...

Wow.

by **SpezDispenser** on Tue Feb 21, 2012 9:39 pm

Diddle...

by **shabbs** on Tue Feb 21, 2012 9:39 pm

Devils take it in OT.

by **SpezDispenser** on Tue Feb 21, 2012 9:39 pm

Just like that.

by **cash** on Tue Feb 21, 2012 9:43 pm

OF COURSE the two teams immediately in front of us and the two teams right behind us all get points when they're playing each other.

Facepalm

by **shabbs** on Tue Feb 21, 2012 9:46 pm

You could just feel it happening...

by **shabbs** on Tue Feb 21, 2012 9:47 pm

Flyers win in OT. Leafs hold on to the 8th spot.

Meh.

by **shabbs** on Tue Feb 21, 2012 9:51 pm

Unbelievable.

All the teams ahead of the Sens grab 2 points. All the teams behind the Sens grab 1 point. And they all played each other tonight. Only team not picking up points was the Rags, who are way ahead.

Bah.

by **wprager** on Tue Feb 21, 2012 9:54 pm

I hate three-point games.

by **Big Ev** on Tue Feb 21, 2012 10:03 pm

Should we troll the Leafs tomorrow and let Washington win?

by **Michallica** on Tue Feb 21, 2012 10:10 pm

Worst possible outcomes tonight for the sens. They just gotta do it themselves now

HA. Diddle that, let's destroy those Crapitals.

The Caps play in Ottawa on Wednesday, go back home to play the Habs on Friday night and then fly back to play in Toronto on Saturday night. Looks like the pro-Toronto scheduler was at it again.

The way they're playing, I don't think it could matter.

Nah. Just a quirk. Just like loading up the front of the schedule so we'd be out of it by November. Beer

Worst possible outcome would've been the Jets and Leafs both getting the 2 points.

Still, not great, but it could've been worse.

A closer look at Pronger and his "35+" contract...

http://offsidesportsblog.blogspot.com/2012/02/nhl-cba-chris-prongers-contract-one-for.html

Sounds like his recovery is not going well. Looks like he'll be on the LTIR for a while now.

Bertuzzi gets a 2 year extention @ 2.2 per.

by **shabbs** on Wed Feb 22, 2012 5:53 pm

Games of interest tonight:
- Caps @ Sens
- Bruins @ Blues

GO SENS GO!!!

GO BLUES GO!!!

by **shabbs** on Wed Feb 22, 2012 8:48 pm

B's up 3-2 after 1.

by **shabbs** on Wed Feb 22, 2012 9:44 pm

B's still up 3-2 after 2.

by **wprager** on Wed Feb 22, 2012 10:05 pm

3 goals on 13 shots. Not a strong game for Smelliott.

by **wprager** on Wed Feb 22, 2012 10:05 pm

And it's Kelly with the tie-breaker so far. Ex-Sens are conspiring against us!

by **wprager** on Wed Feb 22, 2012 10:14 pm

4-2. Marchand with his second.

by **SpezDispenser** on Thu Feb 23, 2012 10:37 am

Todd Bertuzzi's two-year (over 35) extension with DET is $1.975M in Year 1 and $2.175M in Year 2 for an AAV of $2.075M

T-Wall to TB.
