At the end of the season there was some question about whether or not the surgery would be necessary but after a couple months trying to rehab the injury, Alfie has decided surgery is the best option. Alfredsson has always been a player that recovers quickly from injuries but it's pretty clear that this was one that was lingering and has been for quite some time.
Seems to me like it's in his best interest to have the surgery now and get it over with. Here's hoping he can come back rested and ready to go next season. Hard to say what this means for Alfie's career long term but it was pretty clear this was a surgery he was trying to avoid as long as possible.
Alfredsson continues to insist that retirement is not a consideration at this point in time.
- The Sens continue their draft day preparations today with visits from Gabriel Landeskog and Jonathan Huberdeau. It seems like these two guys are at the top of the Sens list heading into draft day but they will likely have to move up to snag either one. There is a chance Landeskog could fall but that almost seems like a dream scenario at this point.
- The Binghamton Senators have a chance to clinch the Calder Cup tonight with a win in Houston. More coming on this game later this afternoon.
(UPDATE1:20 PM) The Binghamton Senators have a chance to close out the Calder Cup Finals with a win tonight in Houston. According to Bingo beat writer Joy Lindsay, Jared Cowen was on the ice for the morning skate and is being labeled a game time decision. Obviously they don't want to jeopardize his health long term so it sounds like they will be extremely careful.
The game can once again be seen on SportsnetSens or listened to live on the Team 1200.
Bryan Murray met with the media this afternoon and indicated that he hopes to have a coach in place within the next week. He also confirmed what was mentioned above- Daniel Alfredsson will have surgery on his injured back and the recovery will take 4-6 weeks.
He's not Gary Roberts of Chris Chelios, but he's still highly regarded for his fitness. If he can somehow stay healthy, he could even play past 40
PA84 - either way? Do you really think he'd retire if he got 35g/45a? I could see him retiring if he missed the bulk of the season to nagging injuries.
All we need is another lockout. Teemu took the year off to rest his knees. If Alfie had a year to heal up completely, he might come back for a few years. Now with his poor decision making (surgery timing), he'll have less than a month to work out before the start of training camp.
I think skating is the biggest issue with Stone, from what I have heard. Not sure if the raw skill is there like with an RNH but I think he has potential to be a player in the league.
This is just based on what I have read about him. Haven't actually had a chance to see him play.
He only has one year left on his contract after next season anyways. The only way he's gonna play is if he stays healthy but guys with nagging back problems usually aren't the same, ever, once they hit that point in their careers, even with the surgeries. I would love for him to keep playing obviously, even if it's only one more season after next and he finishes out his contract but he's no Lidstrom in terms of health and stamina. Don't be surprised to see him playing less minutes on line 2 or even 3 is all I'm saying, but I'm prying that he comes back and has a 60-80pts season...
This is why I love Alfie. I am sure he will give his all until there is nothing to give. I give him at least until the end of his contract.
Enough with getting on Alfie for poor decision making etc. You just keep repeating yourself and you have no idea of the details.
It is possible the team doctors were suggesting he not get the surgery up to this point. It is also possible that the surgery will help fix the issue but also make it more susceptible to further injury and letting it heal naturally was the safest route.
I am no expert but let's not make assumptions here.
Unless of course, you can show me you are an expert.
Seriously dude, give it a rest
Back injuries are still to this day bit of a mystery. I am by no means an expert but I do have a herniated disk, and I do believe that Alfie is suffering from a Buldging or Herniated disk. The pain will vary from person to person, but the sciatica can be immobilizing. All experts will suggest to avoid surgury at all costs, if it can be controlled and managed by other means ie physio, but this takes time hence nothing since Feb but Physio for Alfie. After 8 months of my pain I made the decision on surgery, to have my surgeon suggest one last time to stop all activity, in order to try and decrease the inflamation. This finally worked. So this to say that, all the experts were trying to have the injury controlled through physio, but now, first week of June, is probably the last day, to have surgery, in order to have him back in time for camp in Sept. Alfie is not the first to have this surgery, and I see him back as good as before.
Whether you like it or not, the timing of his surgery is extremely poor. They say 6 weeks recovery, but that is just to get back to normal life - not heavy workouts in preparation for training camp.
So we're talking about real workouts starting in August for him and training camp opens in early September. Do you really think he's going to have enough time to heal, let alone be in top form? Do you really think it gives him adequate time to heal up before jumping into heavy workouts?
Whether it was his decision to put off the surgery or not, this is bad news for this organization and for his career.
Chris Pronger had a herniated disk in his back and chose the surgery route the DAY after his season ended.
Oh I hear you loud and clear. I hate the timing (I hate the fact it even has to happen) Requiring surgery is never a good thing.
My point was the fact you were putting it on/blaming Alfie was uncalled for and reasons why were baseless.
good point on Pronger, he has recovered completely and, knowing Alfie and his history on injury recoveries, I see him back as new, by season openning.
Do not ever count Alfie out... he still has a few very good years left in him...
and Go Baby Sens Go!!!!
Thanks for getting it worked out.
Glad everything is working now. I guess Safari made some changes to their browser that have been causing issues on a few sites.
Frustration on my part I suppose. I was quite disappointed in the news this morning.
http://video.avalanche.nhl.com/videocenter/console
September October
I sure hope they don't rush his recovery.
I would rather see the two seasons he has left at 100% before retiring.
Coach said it was not a concussion as initially reported. There is a chance he plays tonight. Should know more shortly.
Too bad the videos don't seem to be working right now, I'd really like to check that out.
I doubt they'd have to trade up to get him...
The odds of us taking a D first are about 100-1 against.
And when Dorian say there is a 99% chance that one of these five players in town this week will be our first round pick...
Strome, Couturier, Zibanejad, Landeskog and Huberdeau
Then it becomes obvious that this alleged player agent insider has no clue.
I guess you were not paying close attention as Alfredsson lead the team in scoring until he went out with the injury he was playing on. He may not have been up to his par but the whole team was off their game this season and he was injured.
I paid attention while he was gassed after 10s on every shift, couldn't' keep up with the play or be too physical and his shot was a shadow of what it used to be. Just because he got 1st line minutes and opportunities or lead the team in pts, doesn't mean the results were acceptable. Alfie sticking around to give us another twilight year or two is nostalgia, it has nothing to do with what's actually best for this team going forward. Let the team move on from his shadow, let Spezza lead this new generation.
Alfie is an over-performer who can no longer over-perform ... it sucks, but don't blame me for noticing it.
Wow, that would be freakin' HORRIBLE! WE DON'T NEED ANYMORE DEFENSE! There's already a log jam on the back end FFS, that would be such a waste of a pick....
AJC is right, this is not good news at all, and NO he wont be as he was before, to think that is being ignorant of tha facts. 15-20 games into the season, you will start to see wear and tear. Im almost to the point of guaratee'ing that this is Alfie's last go.
I wouldn't mind the C being passed over to Spezza, he has earned it and will be our next leader but as long as the surgery goes well Alfie will complete his contract giving his all and probably still outscore at least half the team.
Umm yeah, just because he led a terrible team in scoring at some point, doesnt mean he was doing well, LOL. I agree with JABS (what!) that Alfie needs to retire and or get traded at the deadline to get him a Cup! He deserves one.
Sweet, I hope he scores his first professional goal!
GO BSENS GO!
Jared 'Jesus" Cowen is a beast...I'm so happy we have him and not Kadri
He's on a heavy decline and can't handle the rigors or physical nature of the game anymore. It's really not a matter of opinion at this time, it's just how it is. He lost the step that made him a star, and the remaining shadow just has too many holes in his game.
As for saying the rest of the team should retire cause he outscored them, I really don't think you get that his expected contribution isn't just in the points column, and his shortcomings are noticed there as well. Not to mention his ice time and offensive opportunities dwarf what just about anyone else on the team gets, so again apples to oranges.
Alfie was a dedicated and hard working player, but it's not like he's a god who brought us the cup or something. Time is up ... tick tock!
What dont you understand, he will never be 100% again, never, nada, jamais!
shut the fuck up already. he has a contract, and hes gonna finish it. whether u like it or not.
@ ppl saying alfie should get traded
when bryan murray said he is untouchable, is it that hard to understand. also when u say trade him so he can win a cup, most ppl who say that just wanna get rid of him so that they can get good assets back, not for the love of our captain.
hes a sen for life and will retire whenever the hell he wants to, not when fans are being asses and want him to retire.
/rant
I think you missed that his injury is something he'll deal with the rest of his life. The surgery is just to get him to the point where he can hopefully make it back to playing.
@GreeningTheMonster - Alfie's body is telling him to retire. We just agree that maybe his body is right and he should listen to it!
Landeskog = Franzen, Morrow
Murphy = Sergei Zubov
Zibanejad = Bobby Holik
Strome = Denis Savard
Couturier = Jordan Staal
Brodin = Alex Edler
To quote Andy Sutton: Are you an expert?
Only time will tell how this surgery will affect him.
Yes he tried to play injured, yes he failed at trying to play through it, but he is in amazing health, and has incredible work ethic.
I believe in Alfie, and can guarentee you that he comes back again, and helps to lead this team,
how dare you so called fans doubt him, after all he has done as a Senator
Majority of us still believe in you Alfie, get better, and lead us once again!!!
Amen. In Alfie we trust.
Out of courtesy to KK, I expect that the Sens will wait until the completion of the Calder Cup to make an annoucement. I don't expect they will be hiring KK, but it would be disrespectful to take his mind off the series and have reporters asking him the "are you disappointed you didn't get the NHL job?" questions while he is still trying to win a cup.
Craig Button is the biggest dummy on TSN. Did anyone else see his mock draft? He had the sens passing up on couturier.... ya right.
I can read and hear those who report on what he's said and what the team has said regarding his injury, as well as what doctors say about these type of physical problems. Does that really take an expert? A lot of the people praising Alfie's health and work ethic, were also the same ones that were sure he'd come back this past season. The guy is ailing and has been playing through more then most of us could imagine for several years now. Don't hate on me for realizing you guys want more then is possible from the guy.
Alfredsson is a human being Humans enter periods of decline in whichever profession they enter, athletes even moreso since they have the rigors of consistent physical play, travel, injuries and age catching up to them.
Doubt is not something to be squelched in any path of life, but rather welcomed. It shows an inquisitive, seeking, questioning mind that wants answers and relies of fact-based analysis rather than hope and fandom.
It's fine to appreciate Alfredsson for what he has done, we all do. We must learn to temper expectations for him, however. He hasn't performed at an elite pace since around 2006 and 2007 and it's now five years later...all the greats drop off eventually. The key thing is, will Murray be able to draft and develop wingers to succeed him.
So, You're an expert?
People hate on you because of the way you point out your opinion, I think. You're one of those people who states their opinion like it's fact. Even though I agree with you that Alfie might not be at his best when he comes back, I still believe he can fit a top 6 role. Only time will tell. I hope you are proven wrong.
Are you like 2?
You are not an expert.
Show me 1 spot where I say I am
I stated facts and my opinion, but too many here are against facts if it goes against their opinion.
Cite a document that says Alfie absolutley will not recover and or this surgery will affect him and his game with most certainty.
Well said! Given he heals well in the next 6 weeks and can get back on his horse in training camp this fall he will be the catalyst next season! Nuff said.
UNLESS they are packaging defensive prospects for a trade or the move up?
Suggesting that a healthy Daniel Alfredsson wouldn't be a benefit for ANY team, even at 38 or 39, is insanity.
Who on the team would you put at the 2nd line RW spot if not Alfie? They don't have a better option.
Is he going to be a 70 point player? Not likely. Will he hit 20 goals and 50 points? I think that's a reasonable expectation. Will he continue to be the most beloved player in the history of this team? Yes.
You don't trade Alfie, because there is NO benefit to trading him. If winning a championship meant more to him than Ottawa means to him, then he would have asked to be moved.
Anyone who wants Alfie to move is clearly of the opinion that the Senators should tank next year to get another high draft pick. Those people are morons, and that's not my opinion, that's a FACT.
Most of us would be flat on our back.
Amen, In Alfie we trust.
I'm at work and don't have time to go digging for every article you're too lazy to read, but here's one http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=34163
Some key quotes to take out of this article are:
"Alfredsson's chronic back injury could sideline him for the rest of his career"
"The injury is never expected to heal..."
"...tough spot being sidelined like this with news that you probably won't ever feel better."
That's 1 example, there are more out there that I have read over time. So honestly guys, get a clue and stop blaming me for your shortcomings when it comes to being informed.
You or anybody on the internet is not an expert.
Let's make this simple. I never said if healthy he's not worthwhile, I'm saying he'll never be healthy enough again. His decline has been over several seasons, not just this past one. As for trading him, I'll let Tookie defend that one as it was not my opinion.
As I mentioned WAY at the start of this thread, next season or the one after we will be hanging them up, guys who have chronic back pain and need surgery are never the same as they once were. So I agree with you there. Alfie is my favourite player on the team, and as much as I'd like to remain optimistic about his recovery, I'm weary of it. However, even if he plays 10-15 minutes a night, just his presence on the bench should be enough to keep these other guys going!
Every team NEEDS a mix of young guys, old guys, tough guys, talented guys...Daniel is probably one of the most respected players on the team (no, I'm not in the dressing room, but I'm sure with his kind of accomplishments he can easily take command of the room). Spezza is in his prime, and will take hold of the torch soon enough.
If healthy, he will outplay 85% of the team out there and be an invaluable amount of experience and insight in the locker room.
If his health can't hold up, I'm sure he will retire.
As I said, it's 1 example of it being mentioned.
Really? This is why I barely bother with long discussions on these topics anymore, in the end I often find out I was debating with a kid.
And does not meet the definition of a citation of fact that Alfie will most likely not recover or that this surgery will drastically affect his game.
Can Dr. Chow even perform surgery anymore since the severe injuries he sustained in his accident last summer?
I just wish he would have had it sooner. I thought I read it was more a muscle injury than anything.. but if it is a herniated disk -- that should be able to heal properly.
The timing could be something to do with trying to avoid surgery as a last moment decision and also the birth of his 4th child a few weeks ago.
"He's done a lot of rehab," GM Bryan Murray said at Sensplex Tuesday. "He felt to continue his career at the level he wants to, that it's the right thing to do. It's to relieve a little pressure on the nerve that has taken away some of the strength in his leg and affected his skating and overall game."
So if the pressure is relieved on the nerve than that should fix the problem should it not?
@Camo - I re-read everything I've posted in this forum and I can't find 1 time I state facts that are wrong or that my opinion is fact just because it's my opinion. I think you guys are mis-reading what I wrote.
Thanks! Go B-SENS go!
But when even the old coach says it's possible this injury could be career ending, I would think there's something to what I've been outlining.
He would've discussed the injury firsthand with experts. At this point I'll stop, I think you're now just being a douche for the hell of it.
On another note, does anybody know what channel SportsNet Sens is on in Toronto? I'd like to catch the game tonight ....
GO B-SENS!
@JABSilez
again you try to come off as an expert... So your an expert?
I can speak from experience on back problems, I had a bulging disks that became herniated. I was almost scheduled for surgery, after 8 months of physio. Just before surgery, the leg pain (sciatica) deminished, and was only left with mild back pain, which is easily managed through excercise and physio. Many players in the NHL have had back surgery, and/or physio, and have come back to perform at their previous levels.
JABSmilez if anyone can rebound from anything, I am sure that Alfie has proven to us, that he deserves that trust , that he will be back as good as ever...and he will prove you wrong!
Shame on you for doubting him.
I'd trust Clouston's opinion over dweebs on the internet. Atleast he had access to the team doctors and saw Alfie on a daily basis to form that opinion.
I suspect that yet again we will be left w/out Sens hockey and will be forced to watch the Jays and Royals game tonight. :(
Button is completely off his rocker. The guy posts the most BS predictions I've ever seen by a journalist.
In one of his mocks he had the Sens passing up forwards and drafting Adam Larsson.
Guys a joke.
So stating a well known fact, that it's not the surgery itself that would cause him to retire or have lasting effects, it's the injury ... makes me come across as I'm trying to be an expert? So anyone that actually has some knowledge about things in life can't share that knowledge without being or trying to be an expert?
It doesn't make me an expert, but I do have expertise in that domain in this case.
His injury is chronic, this is not my opinion, it's the stated facts. The surgery may help relieve some of that pain, but likely not all.
My opinion is that he will not ever return to form and that it will likely cause him to retire.
Dont waste your breath with these morons, clearly they dont understand facts, oh and Miguel congrats on recovering from your back surgery but you do nowhere near the work these NHL players do, to even compare your surgery to Alfie's is a mockery at best. You simply dont understand. Thats fine.
The Sens are moving on, we owe nothing to Alfie, he got his $$$ and did a very good job here in Ottawa but wasnt able to bring a Cup to Ottawa, which is the ultimate goal, and that is why I wont cry when Alfie is retired or traded.
No its not that simple, otherwise players would opt for surgery instead of postponing it like its death calling.
Back surgery for an old NHL player going through the rigour of an 82 game season is 80/20 career ending.
My point is that with back injuries, it is very much an imperfect science, everyone is different, and different treatments work with different people, some swear by chiro's others say physio, and when all fails surgery is the last resort, but many NHLers including Pronger, Sakic, Lemieux etc have had the surgery and come back as good as before.
And the fact that we are talking about Alfie, who has proven almost superhuman when rehabilitating inujuries, leaves me no doubt that he will be back better then when he left.
And the only thing that I need to prove that I am absolutely correct, is the fact that TOOKIE is backing your argument...than ks Tookie for proving me right!
Maybe u won't cry, but true fans will.
I've been watching the sens since I was 4 (almost 16 now) and alfie was my fav player from the first time I started watching hockey.
I'm sorry but if ur atleast not saddened by the fact that he's retiring after his contract, then your not a true fan
80/20? really?
This thread should be used as a place for us to predict what will happen. Not argue/force our OPINIONS (for all the experts out there) on everyone until Chirp posts a new topic. People are getting themselves worked up because jabs is apparently a fortune teller and 'knows' alfies injury is career ending.
Lets talk about the sens, not whos career gives them the most credibility when it comes to alfie being back in full form or not or not. Everybodys body reacts differently to all types of operations, none of us KNOW what's going to happen. When will people learn how to post their opinion AS their opinion?......F uckin Experts. If big andy was still in town he'd shit a brick.
Well said, the day Alfie retires will be a very sad day in Sens history...and your right Tookie really isnt a Sens fan, he may be a fan just not a Sens fan
Apparently Alfie was on Team 1220 about 30 min ago. I missed it unfortunately.
What they are doing is making 'room' for the nerve to avoid the pinching... once that is fixed you would think he would be okay to go.
I wonder if this is a long lingering issue that flared up... resulting from the cracked vertebrae he got from a cross check from Beauchemin a couple of years ago. There can be delays in that sort of thing... like moving the wrong way to 'trigger' something.
It happened to my husband.. twisting his back aggrevated an old injury many years after.
You may think it's quite complicated, but it's pretty fucking clear. You think you're an expert.
I wasn't directing the entire last segment of my post at you. So don't get too into yourself "I have a medical background" Good for you buddy.
All I can see when I read your posts is your ignorance of the truth, even when you say everyone else is blinded by bias. YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE. You've been trolling the forum for 6 hours arguing about nothing. Alfie's coming back and he's gunna prove you so wrong
What you seem to think are "facts" are simply a glass-half-empt y point of view. With words like "could sideline", "never expected" and "probably won't", it's all speculation.
So I'm a troll for having a discussion on a discussion board? Alfie's going to prove me so wrong by returning? Are you even reading what I wrote? The only situation that proves me "so wrong" is Alfie returning to his previous form after the surgery and not having any lasting effects from this injury. Man if that happens it's not only a great medical feat but a great day for the sens. You act like I don't want the old Alfie back, but I've never said that, I love what Alfie has done and given to this team, but I'm ok if he has nothing left to give.
Now I have to justify my ability access a website for a third of a day? Wtf ... it's called multitasking.
I wasn't clear. Let me clarify. The agent said the Sens want a forward with their #6 pick, but will attempt to trade the Nashville pick to trade up to grab Hamilton who will likely be in the top 10.
2. That's what I meant when i said he would prove you wrong ,by coming back and being the same player he was last season or better.
lol enjoy high school

Game doesn't start until 8:05PM though so sit tight!
what he said... ;)
Way to show you know absolutely nothing about the circumstances surrounding the surgery. If Alfie was trying to avoid the surgery there was obviously good reason to do so. You do realize back surgery isn't 100% right? It's not like waving a magic wand. Sometimes surgeries like that result in a loss of maximum strength thresholds and even the end of a career if things don't go as planned. Alfie was probably putting off the surgery because it's risky and somewhat career threatening. Surgery is not always the best treatment option especially if the results of the surgery are likely to fix the pain but reduce your overall ability to achieve an elite level of fitness. Alfie was most likely between a rock and a hard place. Hope he returns to form but don't count on it.
"He's done a lot of rehab and he felt to continue his career at the level he wants to, it's the right thing to do," general manager Bryan Murray said. "The procedure is just to relieve a little pressure on a nerve that has taken away some of the strength in his leg (which has) effected his skating."
Still doesn't shed any light on why he wanted to wait for the surgery but you can't bet it comes with significant risks to his career. It's a last resort option to get him back to the level he wants to be if he's going to play in the NHL since rehab didn't work.
Philly finally has a goalie.
scary team now. bryz is worth at least a 1st tho
Also, are there any frustrated "out of market" Sens fans like me who wish they could watch the games live like those within the market?
I hate being dictated to by Rogers as to what I can and can't watch. It'd have been great that they could at least have one channel out of their network dedicated to this series for national broadcast for those who do enjoy AHL hockey or for that matter those who follow the Sens. I was under the impression that Sportnet One was to be like TSN2 and carry stuff that they don't on their other major channels.
So tonight instead of watching a game that could be the turning point for our organization I am being forced to watch baseball or "international friendly soccer" (like last week).
As you guessed it all Rogers channels here in Southern Ontario tonight have nothing but ............. baseball.
He's a UFA. They traded for his rights.
Something that team has lacked the past 3 years.
They're already in cap hell though.
Would still like to see Jeff Carter in a Sens jersey ;)
Projected cap space for 2011-2012 for the Flyers by capgeek: $430,845
too bad bryz went to phili but they really need a goalie
I used to check the site close to 20-25 times a day minimum, now if I check once it seems like a chore.
Hopefully the redundant/juven ile discussion are a result of being little to nothing to talk about due to it being the off season, but it genuinely feels like the intelligence level of discussion around here has dropped about 40 points.
Here is hoping Bingo pulls it off tonight.
it's looking very much like a stream is a no go. Oh well, radio broadcast will have to do.
alfie on team 1200
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/bingosenslives
Best feed of the Calder Cup Finals so far!
Today was definitely a rough day. Not sure what got in to people but I guess the Alfie discussion brought out the worst in people.
Not sure what the answer is.
Rockin' Robin is just THAT tonight!
BSENS FANS ROCK!!!!
Its not only today...I do not come every day anymore, but it seems every time I do it is something similar to today.
Who knows, I suppose it is kind of inevitable when a site becomes more popular it obviously attracts more people, and when it comes to sports that typical is at the expense of the level of discussion.
Yeah. Philly is a great place to raise a family. They have a park there. And entertainment.
No parks or entertainment here in Arctic Winnipeg
Bryz is a pussy. I can't wait for Spezza to shell him all season long.
The forum section seems much better at staying on the topic at hand.
I'd kiss you if I could. LOL
6 inch rule buddy. Keep your distance! LOL
Enjoy the game!
Yeah, comments on the blog posts usually start out on topic then evolve into branches about whatever.
The forum here is pretty good here. I, for one, love it.
Everyone stays on topic, and seems rather civil and polite in there.
I heard that! Im quietly hoping Grady mentions me by name because we actually talked for awhile at Dillingers after the game.
WOOOOOF!!!
Working fine for me.
ok, must be my ridiculously slow internet connection.
Because Cowen isn't there to clear the front of the net for Lehner.
Haha.
Is he related to Dustin? After his assist I was wondering if they were brothers.
No. Not directly, as far as I know.
They might be distant cousins, seeing as how there are several thousand "Penners" in Manitoba. Dustin was born in Winkler, and Jeff in Steinbach. Roughly 2 hours apart.
If you are talking about Grady then I strongly disagree with you on that one. I find him to be very knowledgeable and exciting!
murray absolutely needs to have BB16 playin pro next season.
Not to add to the negative vibe today, but to be honest I've been wondering all game if Gryba is injured or something.
He took an awful penalty, then just seemed rattled every time he touches the puck.
I'd put D.Smith and Benoit ahead of him at this point.
Just an opinion though. Let's not start another Alfie fiasco.
GOALLLLLLLLL!
its not grady. im 90% sure these are houston announcers because everytime bingo does something, especially score, they go dead silent, and when houston gets a chance he is screaming.
thats because it is, houston rockets (nba team) play in it.
Where's the stream????!!!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can't Hacket!!
YES SIR!!!
I wish the stream was still up for the presentations and celebrations!Nvm. Way to go guys!!I wonder if they'll bring the Calder Cup to Ottawa.
Probably home opener with the whole Bingo team at center ice. That would be a nice touch!
Maybe they'll bring the hardware with them to the development camp later this month. =]
Eat it Leafs and Marlies fans!
bloodcup, and stay hungry next year in the bigs.Lehner was a miracle for us.
Lehner had .939 going in. Apparently he had .944 tonight..
So did he break that record?
What a win boys.....
No ... he's still at .939 (went from .9389 to .9393)
robin lehner wins the calder at the age of 19. (.939% 2.11 GAA)
