Howdy Sens fans from lovely Ottawa.
Bryan Murray as per Ottawa Sun writer Bruce Garrioch, dismissed rumours of moving Jason Spezza for the 378th time in the last 12 months. Still Spezza trade rumours are 471 times behind Vinny Lecavalier rumours. Murray also spoke of another offer extended to Chris Neil and a counter-offer from Neil's camp. Apparently they are closer now than ever before. I still think Cody Bass can do what Neil does at a way cheaper price. Finally of note from the Garrioch-Murray interview was that Murray is looking for a 'Top 6' forward once again because he is happy with the team's defense. How they will/can afford a top six guy is beyond me unless they don't sign Comrie and even then would have to move someone off the roster.
Ray Emery to the Flyers. Rumour still, but one that Philly GM Paul Holmgrem didn't deny saying basically that Ray was in the mix of potential goalies the team is looking at.
Had an interview with the good people at SENS TV this afternoon. Good group of guys and they are really working hard to make SENS TV bigger than ever. You can checkout their work at http://senators.nhl.com/index.html

The 6’2”, 202lbs. goaltender has many aspects about him that would raise eyebrows in other cities. However, in the city where Ron Hextall is still worshiped, one would think Philadelphians...
