Nah it's just Ottawa plays better against them due to the whole Alfredson thing.

Well, Devils lost 2-1 last night to the Sharks, but if you told me we were going to get 4 out of 6 points from a road trip against the Ducks, Kings, and Sharks I would've called you a lying liar. That hit on Marty's neck was scary, but I'm glad he's OK. Sharks fans also showed a lot of class giving him an applause.

So Stamkos might be a bigger Cena then Cena.
TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Lightning star Steven Stamkos is walking without crutches or a boot two weeks after breaking his right leg and said Monday he fully expects to play again this season.
The high-scoring centre was injured Nov. 11 against Boston. He was taken off the ice on a stretcher after crashing into the post. He had surgery the next day in Boston to stabilize a fractured shin bone and is now walking with a limp.
"To be able to do what I'm doing now and almost comeback to a normal life, being able to just move around on your own, I'm definitely happy with that," said Stamkos, speaking with reporters for the first time since the injury. "I'd say I've overcome the initial shock and frustration and disappointment, and now it's what do I have to do to get back as quick as possible. But obviously as smart as possible."
Stamkos was hurt with 7:11 remaining in the second period. He was backchecking on a play when he got tied up with Bruins defenceman Dougie Hamilton. The pair went into the net hard.
Speaking to TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun of ESPN.com, Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman talked about the prognosis for his superstar forward.
"It's early, but our initial impression is that we're encouraged he'll be back on the shorter end of the recovery time period -- which is very broad -- but it looks initially that he'll be back on the sooner rather than later end of that three-to-six months recovery period," said Yzerman.
Yzerman, of course, is also the general manager of Team Canada for the Sochi Olympics. But he says that Stamkos' timeline goal is the same regardless of whether the uniform he wears is blue or red.
"It's one in the same, we want a healthy Stammer," Yzerman said. "And not just for this year, but for a long time to come. The No. 1 underlining factor is that we're going to make sure we do what's best for Steven's long-term health. He's 23 years old. He's got a long career ahead of him. We're not going to do anything that jeopardizes him. He's not coming back before he's 100 percent ready."
Stamkos has 222 goals and 409 points in 390 NHL games.

WHAT THE f***?!!? This doesn't even make sense since you have to get sportsnet by getting a sports bundle and it's not default like TSN. Plus TSN has by far the best commentators and analysts!

Oh wow. I've always associated Canadian NHL coverage with TSN. This sucks.

This sucks so badly. 90% of Rogers hockey is regionally blacked out, so if you wanna watch any hockey where I live you'll have to buy the Centre Ice package. This is bullshit. Between this and the lockout, it's like they're trying to kill off the Canadian market.

Between this and the lockout, it's like they're trying to kill off the Canadian market. And the irony is that Forbes released yesterday the list of most valuable NHL franchises and the top 4 has three Canadian teams. Hell I think every Canadian franchise value went up except for the Senators. The Oilers value went up by 46% for god sakes and they haven't had sweet playoff revenue in 8 years and playoff revenue is important to many non traditional markets or struggling franchises. The Coyotes would of never survived if they haven't been a playoff team the last few years and that deep playoff run. Same with the Predators when they were constantly bankrupt and the playoff revenue helped them along the way while making more fans in the process

So after some more reading and digging, I've found out that ALL games airing on SportsNet will now be national games and that they will be using the 4 main channels to provide regionally oriented programming but with no more blackouts. So this deal may actually turn out to be a good thing.

I'm really surprised and bummed about this. I figured TSN would have done anything to keep their rights but I read in local paper that the league's asking price was way too high for them.
It also said Sportsnet gets all the rights to the playoffs and finals. This sucks. I always thought CBC did an awesome job emphasizing the history and importance of the playoffs... going to be weird not having Coach's Corner and things like that in the playoffs.
I like Doug Mclean, Nick Kypreos, and Daren Millard but man, I put them a couple steps behind CBC and TSN. It'll be interesting to see which commentators jump ship.

All I can say is sportsnet is now Canada's national sports channel period now. They also air every blue jay game and raptors game. Also they air junior games as well. Only thing they don't have is the CFL

I can't believe the NHL sold out. And for what? A few extra bucks from freaking SportsNet?

I can't believe the NHL sold out. And for what? A few extra bucks from freaking SportsNet? And it's mostly like going to be more expensive for Canadians now. Especially on how expensive the deal is. (5.3 billion dollars). On a lighter note just to piss off and troll Triplethreatmark even more, I picked up Jeff Carter in my fantasy hockey team. Yup my undefeated fantasy hockey team now has Dustin Brown, Jeff Carter, Jonathan Quick (get off the IR already!), and Slava Voynov.

Dustin Brown's been 'meh' all season and Quick's out till Christmas. Good for you on having Carts and Slava though. I just wish I had Scrivezina on my fantasy team.

Was listening to NHL radio on XM last night; I forget who the journalist was they were talking to, but after discussing the Rogers deal they moved on to expansion.
Pretty big buzz now is to expect the return of L'Nordique in two years, and a new team in Seattle in about five, if they can get their arena idea off the ground.
