Colin Jeffrey signs with HockeyBarn.com
Howdy from rainy Bytown.
I have finalized my deal with HockeyBarn.com. I have begun writing for them as of today. You can see it by following the link; www.hockeybarn.com/columns.
HockeyBarn.com is a hockey-specific site and is on a tear in terms of membership and page views. Really...
Dogs days of Dany
Howdy from the rain-soaked capital of Canada.
I never wanted to use 'dog days of summer' as a header for a blog. Every sports blogger uses it once over the course of their respected sports off season. But now I too have surcome to the power of the 'dog days'.
Before...
More Hockey in July? You Bet!
"Over? Did you say 'over'? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
Development camp wrapped up last Saturday and the kids have boarded flights to destinations across the world . . . but July Hockey lives...
What Impact Could ESPN have on the NHL?
A few days ago, I mentioned my disappointment in the lack of attention that hockey received during the 2009 ESPY Awards. Shortly after, a question was posed to me, asking if the sport would have done better if the NHL went back to being televised on ESPN. The short answer to that question...
NHLPA's Paul Kelly speaks on Heatley
Howdy again.
Kelly spoke with Dan Tencer of Edmonton's 630 CHED last night regarding this whole 'Heatley-thing'. He said that Heatley was a victim and that both media and the Ottawa Senators have mistreated young Dany boy.
Furthermore he states that Heatley would seriously...
Sens name new Assistant Coach to a very 'green' staff
Howdy from a rainy Ottawa. Oh and I didn't mean 'green' as in enviromentally friendly. Though the Sens coaching staff must be friendly in the pocket book for our great owner.
Sens announced today the hiring of Brad Lauer as Asst. Coach to Cory Clouston. They previously...
Bob Woods and His Roll into the NHL
At the end of Development Camp last week we got the opportunity to talk to new Capitals' Assistant Coach Bob Woods and ask him about his remarkable summer -- a title run in Chocolatetown and then, just days later, 'the call' from the parent club. Woods of course was the...
Biron Creates Logjam in Islanders' Crease
Most readers of my work will tell you that the main focus of my writing is centered around the Boston Bruins' organization. However, from time to time, it is necessary to mention what other teams around the NHL are doing. Today, that focus shifts to a rather interesting situation...
So the experiment didn't work..
Howdy from Ottawa.
MVN is under-going a few site changes as we have tried to 'brand' both team pages and blog pages. However it did not work according to plan. Now we are going back to what we know works.
Start ASAP colinjeffrey's301 is being replaced by www.mvn.com/senatorsrow...
Prospecting the Senators
Howdy from the nation's capital.
So I thought today I would take a look at Senator prospects with a real chance to make it on the NHL roster this coming season. Before we can do that however we must determine how many openings their are. Some Sens bloggers have suggested several...
You're Living Where?
For the uninitiated: Sidney Crosby has been living with Penguins owner Mario Lemieux since he entered the National Hockey League. As an 18-year-old rookie, The Kid's choice to move in with his boss was a bit odd (why not bunk with teammates?); but to be fair, he idolized Lemieux...
Farewell, Johnny; Welcome, Mike
Just not too well: Brent Johnson is a Penguin as of today. Tarik spoke with Johnson about an hour ago: "I did wait a little while hoping something would pan out with
Washington," Johnson said of waiting three weeks before signing with
another team. "But it wasn't...
Caps lose Brent Johnson
Backup goal tender Brent Johnson has left Washington and signed a one year deal with the Pittsburgh Penguins. The deal with Pittsburgh most certainly makes the prospects of the Caps trading Jose Theodore, a whole lot less today. Johnson backed up Theodore last season and received...
Kovy wants Heater
Howdy from Ottawa. Enjoying the weather as 5 straight days of rain await.
Alex Kovalev made the obvious statement today at a press conference when he announced his wish that Heatley remains a Senator. Kovy has his money (2-yrs, $10 mil.) and now wants to play on a winner...right...

Sykora's Agent Disputes Interview
From the Tribune-Review:Veteran forward Petr Sykora will not return for a third season with the Penguins, but his departure has nothing to do with a supposed rift between he and coach Dan Bylsma, according to Bylsma and Sykora's agent, Allan Walsh.
A recent report in the Czech...
Hunwick Avoids Arbitration with Two-Year Deal
On Monday afternoon, the Boston Bruins took care of some unfinished business in free agency. Defenseman Matt Hunwick was scheduled to have an arbitration hearing on Friday, but that can now be crossed off of the list. Hunwick and the Bruins came to terms on a deal that will keep the...
The Wild need to add another scoring forward if it wants the 2009-2010 season to be success
To mark the historic 40th Anniversay for the Apollo Moon Landings, I will begin this article with the infamous quote Neil Armstrong gave to the world as he made his first step on the moon's surface, "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." While professional...
