The NHL: They're just not that into you
[Ed. Note: The following is an extremely long post. Consider yourself warned.] By "you", I actually mean "me". Who am I? Other than the writer of this blog, I'm a sports columnist with a major Canadian daily in the Nation's Capital. At 28 years old, ...

 Somebody save Jarome!
Somebody save Jarome!
From last night's NHL Awards: Good God -- even being gazed upon by Elisha Cuthbert looks like it requires a dose of amoxicillin immediately afterward.

 Martin Gerber: cowboy and square dancing aficionado
Martin Gerber: cowboy and square dancing aficionado
Martin Gerber wants you to love him... ...but if you won't, his overseas Swiss fan club will. How can such a feat be accomplished? Well, by dressing up like an 1890's goldrush Klondike pimp and square dancing, of course. Peter Schaefer would've been so jealous of this get-up, it's not even funny. And no, I'm not mixing prescription meds -- just see for yourself. Count me in as pro-Manatee ...

Where the truth lies
When everyone above - is ready to bout you - about controversial values Don't you think you better re-address the level of the cowardice rising to drown you? Did you ever connect - or come to reject - or even inspect The dreams that hound you? When ...

 Elisha Cuthbert and Phaneuf?
Elisha Cuthbert and Phaneuf?
The Calgary Sun says yes , as does this blog , which posted the news first. (Thanks to Scott B. for the heads up.) P.S. This isn't overly relevant, but I figured I'd pass it on -- my favourite description of Cuthbert came from someone who met her ...

Just a couple of things...
I can't go into anything in depth here -- again, handcuffed by the column -- and my head is swimming because I haven't nailed down what I'll be writing about just yet. That being said, a few things: Sorry, but I'm not ready to hand over the Cup to ...

For whom the bell tolls
(I've been waiting far too long to post that photo.) So it's been a while, right? Sorry about that. Let's get to it, and stay tuned for an important announcement at the end. Do I Sound Like I Care? : The whole "Ooh...the Sens are looking for a ...

Dany writes, Dexter Manley edits
This is the cover of Dany Heatley's new book, scheduled for release at the beginning of October. If you think that's good, check out the listing for No. 15's work on the Chapters website . There's a definitely a ball gag joke in there somewhere. ...

 Puck bunnies (now with sugary goodness)
Puck bunnies (now with sugary goodness)
Happy belated Easter. Now then... The blog has experienced an influx of oversexed puck bunnies who are all aflutter over the Phaneuf-Cuthbert post. I refuse to link to the site because the vulgarity and childish antics are a bit much. I just felt ...

Ben Blood: Potential marketing bonanza
Brian Murray wants the Sens to be tougher, so how can you go wrong with a kid with a moniker straight out of a B-movie slasher flick? In the fourth round of the '07 Entry Draft, newly minted GM Bryan Murray and his think tank took Ben Blood -- a 6'3", ...

 Foreshadowing:  A Pictoral Essay
Foreshadowing: A Pictoral Essay
Sometimes -- actually, more often than not these days -- we come across information so jaw dropping that we'd love to share it with you... except we'd hear it from someone. We still try and give you hints, through posts like the Blind Items and such. ...

 Oh, really?
Oh, really?
The following is a transcript taken from a mid-intermission interview with Sens President Roy Mlakar, during the Sens-Capitals game on Rogers 22 last night. This was the answer given when the issue of potential future free agents Dany Heatley and ...

Killing the misconceptions
I'm bothered whenever people bark at my refusal to refer to the Sens as a "young" team. I'm not insinuating that they're all headed for a midlife crisis, but the way some talk, you'd think the average age of the team was along the lines of a ...

Your headline
Joe Corvo to Ottawa media: "Eat it" (Okay, he didn't say that -- but his play sure as hell did.) The Driver was cheering for a hat trick, and I have to admit -- part of me was as well. I've made my stance on Corvo quite clear: I don't think he ...

So the obsession with grit and leadership continues unabated, eh? Alrighty then. Just to be clear: We don't have a problem with Jason Smith. The free agent brings valuable characteristics to the Senators (see above), although the salary ($5.2 ...

 Meh.  M-E-H.
Meh. M-E-H.
Because there's not a lot to talk about, posters at the HFBoards are focusing on the Sens' potential new uniforms and tweaked logo. One poster claims to have found the new logo at the bottom of the Sens' website. When we went to see if it was there, ...

 Confirmation
Confirmation
Here's your Hilary Duff-Mike Comrie confirmation, for those of you who care about this stuff. How pissed do you think the oversexed Ottawa media is about this (read: not me)? No Comrie = No Duff = No stalker-like sightings at the SBP. Boo! Hiss! ...

"A New Era Begins"? I'll be the %$#&ing judge of that.
We came, we saw...we bought the t-shirt (and were given another one for free). How lovely of the Hockey Hall Of Fame to dig this out of the Corporate Sponsor Du Jour's closet for today. The team's name is not engraved on it yet (really, do you want ...
