I apologize for the crappy flash ads - I am working with my ad network to make it stop. No, you aren't a winner and no you aren't the 637,222,137th person to see the banner. The ad network tells me it has something to do with Canada's feed. The US visitors aren't seeing the bad [...]
The Senators have acquired defenseman Mike Commodore and forward Cory Stillman in exchange for defenseman Joe Corvo and forward Patrick Eaves. Here is the take from a fantasy standpoint...
Drew Stafford reinjured his ankle and left last night's contest. Joffrey Lupul is surprisingly cleared to play and will be in the lineup today. So how much did Lupul bug the guy? "I called him at 2 a.m., I called him at 4 a.m., and when I called him at 6 a.m., he said blank this, [...]
Notch is back again with his winners. Maybe his tips will help you with some tough decisions on your Saturday ticket.

A future offensive NHL defenseman, Alex Goligoski, was recalled by [...]
After slumping for several games, Keenan broke up the Iginla line and moved Huselius down to the second line. Tanguay was moved up to the first line and scored. The team lost, so the experiment cannot be deemed a success yet. Huselius is very streaky, so when he picks up a point expect many to [...]
Rob Blake will be out for the next two to three weeks with a stress fracture in his foot. Ryan Miller's knee injury is not serious and he should play Tuesday night in Boston, according to Lindy Ruff in the Buffalo News. Marc-Andre was back in practice yesterday for the first time. It is looking as [...]
Nik Kronwall will be out for the next week to 10 days with a shoulder injury. He is, of course, a certified Band-Aid Boy, so if you own him you expected this to happen. Jose Theodore is suffering from back spasms that will keep him on the shelf for the next little while. Petr Budaj will [...]
