Maple Leafs Are Actually Giving Away Tickets

The Toronto Maple Leafs have added a pre-season game to their schedule on September 22, 2008 against the Buffalo Sabres and they are giving away all of the tickets for free.  Management is hoping for a different kind of crowd: “Getting more young kids in the building always adds to the excitement (and) just […]

Ray Emery Accepts Responsibilty on OTR

Former Ottawa Senators goaltender, Ray Emery, was on TSN’s “Off the Record” where he was asked a bunch of questions before he jets off to play in the Russian league.  Some of it was just silly but not all of it was fun and games - the “Razor” finally owned his role in the deterioration […]

Maple Leafs Take Hollweg From Rangers

Ryan Hollweg will be moving to Toronto since the Maple Leafs have acquired him from the New York Rangers.  The forward played in 70 games (eight in the postseason) for New York last season and notched two goals and two assists.  Sounds perfect for Toronto…

NY Islanders Fire Head Coach Ted Nolan

Yowza.  The New York Islanders have fired head coach, Ted Nolan, after just two years with the team.  Isles GM, Garth Snow, cited “philosophical differences” as the reason for the split. 
I personally think that Nolan was a great addition to the team - he got them to the playoffs in 2007 and, overall, […]

Canadiens Give Goalie Halak 2-Year Deal

I’m pretty thrilled to report that goaltender Jaroslav Halak has been signed to a two-year, $1.55 million contract with the Montreal Canadiens.  Of course, the Habs are pretty famous for being fickle with goalies so I wouldn’t get too comfortable but I think it’s a good sign.  I’ve liked Halak since I first saw him […]

Jagr Signs 2 Year Deal with Russian League

Jaromir Jagr has left the NHL.  Shocked?  I am, to be honest.  At his age, and given his level of success, I thought he would end his career with the Rangers and, well, that would be it.  Instead, Russian team, Avangard Omsk, has reportedly given him a $5 million per year deal.
Jagr says it […]

Ottawa Senators 2007-2008 Highlights

The season started exceptionally well for the Ottawa Senators and then, right around Christmas time, things just started to fall apart.  Many people have blamed goaltender, Ray Emery, for the troubles, saying he brought “bad energy” to the team and locker room.  I hate to say it but I’ve got to agree and despite the […]

Malkin Signs 5-Year Deal with Pittsburgh

The Pittsburgh Penguins have locked up a deal to keep Evgeni Malkin playing on the team for the next five years. 
I wondered what kind of deal he was going to get and, I must say, it’s a good one.  He’s been offered $43.5 million over half a decade.  That is an incredible deal for […]
