Chris at the Hockey Country blog thinks this year is the Senators best shot at the Cup and takes a look at what players they may be targeting between now and the trade deadline.

So we’ve established the 2005-06 season is the Ottawa Senators best opportunity to win the Cup since they came back into the league, and will likely be for many years to come. You want to make sure you take advantage of this, and part of that means bringing in players.

from Eric Duhatshek of the Globe and Mail,

Columbus Blue Jackets' general manager Doug MacLean made a curious observation last week, when he noted that as badly as things had gone for his team this season, he wouldn't trade his players, even-up, for the Minnesota Wild's — or for that matter, for the conference-leading Detroit Red Wings' either. MacLean's point was that while those teams may be better in the present, Columbus's future is brighter.

from the Globe and Mail,

Given the option, Olaf Kolzig will stick with National Hockey League-legislated smaller goalkeeper equipment when he performs for Germany at the Turin Olympics. Instead of using larger puck-stopping gear allowed by the International Ice Hockey Federation, the Washington Capitals' goaltender will opt for increased movement.

Forsberg on the remarks by Ed Snider- from the Delaware County Times,

I would not go if I didn’t feel 100 percent. And then, it would not bother me. If anything was going on, I would not go. Because I know who is paying my salary and stuff, and what I have to do, and that I have a responsibility here. But if I do feel good and I do feel like it is not going to bother me, and I am fine and everything is going to be good, then I am going."

Lapointe will wear the "C'' on his sweater because Aucoin opted for shoulder surgery that will sideline him for the season.

from Kara Yorio of the Sporting News,

Came to the Meadowlands tonight to check out these Senators in person for the first time this season. ...It was a big victory for the Devils, witnessed by me and the 5-6,000 people who showed up at Continental Airlines Arena. (Do not believe the 10,000+ announced attendance. The lower bowl, which may be sold with season tickets, was half full. The upper deck was a joke.)
