Ottawa fans should thank their lucky stars they have Eugene Melnyk as an owner. A man after my own heart - owning a team for the love of the game and not caring if he loses money on them. If you're a billionaire...who cares if you lose $10 million? I'm just throwing numbers out there [...]

Chris Kunitz missed last night's contest with his stomach/abdominal injury. No word on if he will play in Game 5. Patrick Eaves, in the lineup for Dean McAmmond, saw some time with Spezza and Heatley. Alfredsson played on a line with Fisher and Schaefer. I thought Fisher had an incredible game and I didn't think Alfredsson [...]
