Fever NHL / Ice Hockey Thread, eh!
Impressive, I bet half the NHL teams will either be watching his development closely or try and sign him with the future in mind.
Holy crap! If he keeps that up, I'd love to see that kid in a Sens sweater some day

0 - 6 or is it 7?
0-6-1. Toronto earn a point for an overtime loss, so OT losses are considered seperate.
you'd be happy with this Robb http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=503770
least the Leafs beat the Ducks!
The guy who got hit in the above clip seems to be on the improve.
Upgraded from critical to serious.
Watching this years edition of the Winter Classic - Philly vs. Bawston at Fenway Park. Can't wait until the puck drops, there's always magic when the game is played outdoors.
Cheerings for Boston today - I'm a Cubbies fan, but I've got a soft spot for the Red Sox (the better Sox
) and Irish ancestry so Bruins it is!

The biggest ice hockey event of this year will start on February 17 at the 2010 Winter Olympics. Three is the magic number, so let us have Russia � Canada megafinal for the third consecutive time.

Really starting to regret not going to Canada now - I've got an ex in Vancouver I could stay with. Ah well.
Hoping to see Canada beat Russia for the gold!
Just in time for the Olympics...
Totally kicking myself, was planning on being there to catch some hockey and curling. Ah well.
GO CANADA!

Canadian Women's team set a new Olympic hockey record - 18-0 over Slovakia. Ouch!

I really hope the Slovakian Football team play like the Hockey team against the All Whites in June!
Is the NHL on break for the olympics?

Ottawa just clenched their playoff spot - needed on point to win, trailing 2-3 to Carolina, rookie Erik Karlsson scores the equalizer to draw it 3-3, earning us that point. Added two more when we won by shootout in OT 
Unfortunately not stream today so I listened on the radio

Bloody surprised by the Coyotes this year. My Canadian bias means I can't support them until Winnipeg gets a team, but hopefully it'll help the growth of the code. As much of an ass as Gary Bettman is, I do understand why he expanded into the sunbelt (IMHO Utah would have been a better idea than Phoenix to attract the Southwest - they actually have snow and hockey heritage, and Critical Lemon would have a team to cheer for!)
My soft spot is for the Flames.
Ah yes, I remember now.
Q: If SLC and Seattle both got teams, and Calgary kept theirs, who'd you cheer for?

I'd probably favour SLC over the others.
Fair call. I'd say that I have a soft spot for SLC, but technically Canada won gold in West Valley City
Fan wins car. Good effort.

Dear Keith Ballard
Please signed for the Maple Leafs and keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
The other 5 Canadian franchises*
*(6 if you count Detroit)
I would like a franchise from Nova Scotia!

The Newfie in me agrees, but it's not the best sense commercially. I'd rather see Ville de Qu�bec and Winnipeg gets teams first, as well as Hamilton. Maybe with enough population and economic growth, Halifax could support a team.
CFL, however, should defo place a team there (or in Moncton as an alternative). Just not before they bring back the Rough Riders

I thought you'd still stick with Ottawa! 
I should too since I've actually been to Ottawa and have not set foot in Pittsburgh.
I'd never tip against the Sens, nor the Nix, even when I know better
go the Red wings although i thought they were gone burgers ages ago

I hope you mean "Go to the Pittsburgh Country Club and start playing golf after losing to Ottawa in the first round"
Game one - Ottawa 5, Pittsburgh 4. Managed to catch the last fifteen minutes of it. Pittsburgh's last goal was pretty decent, but fortunately not enough to change the result!
