I have a soft spot for Condon. He was asked to do the impossible in a pressure-filled situation. And he did have some great outings. Begevin got caught with his Price down...and that's when the whole thing unravelled. Berg went all the way to the Bakersfield Condors to get Ben Scrivens as back-up...who must've thought he'd died and gone to heaven! Too bad Condon has to be waived with that final note ringing in his ears. Ya I liked Condon... he did his best with us and he helped us beat the Bs at the outdoor classic

Yeah, Condon's one of those guys with great attitude, who's fought his way to the NHL. I'm glad he's gotten a couple of decent contracts, so financially he'll be fine, or should be. But he's simply not good enough for the NHL. BEn Scrivens and Mike Condon. Whoa. Bergevin did better with his other back-up gamble, Niemi.

I like how TSN has THREE videos about the Leafs regarding their scoring woes. Three. Thanks, I...kinda wanted to see how the Jets and Canucks were doing, but sure, show me these three videos.

Elias Pettersson now has 9 goals, 6 assists, for 15 points in his first 9 NHL games. Let’s just give him the Calder already. What a start. Vancouver has a nice young forward contingent right now.

5 points for Pettersson last night. Wow.
Auston Matth-who?

Stevens the first hc to get the axe. Kings have fired him and replaced him on an interim basis with Willie Desjardins.

Goodness, Marchand is quite a character.
Anyone see the video of a bunch of Sens players laughing about how pitiful their PK is and railing on Martin Raymond? I know the boys thought they were having a private conversation, but it kind of looks like a star (Duchene) on their roster does not have much belief in the organisation. One has to imagine that his days in Ottawa are numbered.

I don't blame the players for smack-talking their coach - heck, when former players did it to Therrien many cheered - but it certainly isn't going to do anything to help that team. What a nightmare for Sens fans. There is no way Duchene signs there now, and with the way they're tanking that pick they sent to Colorado is looking better and better. Could be Jack Hughes the way things are going. I would think Duchene is on the trade block as of this morning (if he wasn't already), as they pretty much have no choice but to try and recoup something for him. That Uber driver is a scum-bag for releasing the video though. Seriously, what is the matter with people??

What a disaster that organization is. comparatively, it makes our management and ownership teams look like gold. or at least silver. ya, you've got to wonder why they didn't let their pick go last draft. I guess they thought that EK would be around for some reason. some of the moves they've made . . . like dumping Hoffman because of the rift and then trading EK before the season began. sheesh. as I've already suggested (in my mind anyway) that would be like MB trading Alzner or Shaw . . . only worse. management went out and got him (and overpaid); they aren't going to turn around and dump him (which is what it would be, as they would be dealing from a position of weakness and not get much for him after spending so much for him in the first place). there's divided thoughts here . . . one, how long before he'll be forgiven (if he'll be forgiven) and what more has to be said beyond the team making their statement; two, it was a private conversation, it was all in jest, move along their's nothing to see here. time will tell which one wins out. I say the latter. ya got that right!

Well, you can't convince me that players talk like that among themselves from time to time ... the only problem I see is that they got caught ... in another context, it's too bad, really ... Ottawa had been practically devoid of bad drama for a short while now ... hopefully this incident isn't the catalyst to reopening all of that tripe ... Cheers.

I say the latter. ya got that right! It's not unusual for Uber drivers to have cameras in their car for their own protection. I know that & I've been in an Uber one time. This is all on the players. They had a private conversation in a public place & treated the driver like he wasn't there. Morons.

Now coach Quenneville is out as Blackhawks head coach! You wonder if a few coaches like Mike Yeo suddenly have a much shorter string now that Coach Q is on the market. I would imagine that LA will also inquire before taking the interim tag off of Willie Desjardins too.

Franko, there is no denying Dorion paid a premium to acquire Duchene. But he is a UFA on July 1, so it is probably just a question of when he gets moved. Ottawa is a good hockey town and with the right ownership I do not believe that franchise needs to be categorized as a small market club. But with attendance around 12,000 per game unless the Habs or the Leafs are in town, and Melnyk being unwilling to pay the market rate (including the signing bonus structure/protections guys like that expect) for stars reaching UFA status, the Sens rebuild is going to take place without veteran stars.
NW, I thought the same thing. Quenneville going full circle back to the Blues seems like an intriguing proposition.

Arizona makes it a crime to intercept a "wire or electronic communication" or a "conversation or discussion" unless you are a party to the communication, present during the conversation or discussion, or one party to the communication or conversation consents.Since the Uber driver was part of the conversation ("What team do you play for?") that apparently counts as consent to film or record the conversation. Now whether or not he can then post it online is probably a legal battle that quite frankly, the Sens and the Sens players should probably just avoid. Let it die and go away.

I'm thinking it's too bad Arizona isn't one of those states like Florida, which is going to be underwater in a decade or two effectively destroying it. They have the nuttiest laws there. They make Nazis look like Bob Rae.
