Morning Head: Mike Smith Isn’t Half The Man I Wish He Was
Hockeyhead — I’m just being honest here, I had no intention of watching a hockey game last night. I was firmly entrenched in the well-worn seat cushions of my couch and ready to watch some baseball. When Clayton Kershaw started walking everyone and chucking nothing but cheese, I took the opportunity to check in on a real-life head-to-head battle between my fantasy hockey goaltenders from the Faceoff Hockey Show Hockey League. Pretty pathetic duo on my part.  I managed to snare Rick Nash, Joe Thornton, Anze Kopitar,  and Nicklas Lidstrom while ...

Steve Downie To Spend The Next Two Years Quietly Wetting Himself
Five for Smiting - Your Ottawa Senators Blog And Group Hug — In other pant tenting news, The Bryan rewards Matt Carkner with a two-year, $1.4M, one way contract for the simple act of becoming an Ottawa folk hero in a scant seven games.

Matt Carkner has Arrived!
Hockey Blog: Hockey Fights, Fight Videos, Goons & Enforcers | GoonBlog.com — Mighty Matt Carkner was signed to a 2-yr deal by the Ottawa Senators this week, just a few short days after his first-ever NHL goal. He also soundly beat the snot out of Steve Downie on the 15th. To say it’s been an incredible month for the man would be an obvious understatement. I have gotten to know Matt a little - as we’re both residents of Westport, Ontario - and it couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. The Cove, a classy Westport Hotel, has organized the CarkBus for all of us proud residents this evening, and I have to wrap this up if I’m going to make ...
