Just a quirky little fact. Ottawa Senators 2003 first round draft choice Patrick Eaves will be kind of following in his father's footsteps if he eventually plays for the Senators. His father, Mike Eaves, once played for the Junior A Nepean Raiders, which now play in the amalgamated city of Ottawa, before he played in the NCAA. (0) comments

While Senator fans for the most part don't want Patrick Lalime back next season, there are some defenders of him that point to his playoff stats - 1.76 GAA and a .926 save percentage. But here some stats that might be a little more relevant.

0-3 with a 3.90 GAA and a .862 save percentage.

Those are Lalime's stats in Game 7's. (0) comments

I've been pretty lazy blogging here lately. Posting weekly, if that, is a far cry from what I did while the Senators were still playing.

I'm going to try to do more. Especially since the NHL Entry Draft, one of my favourite times of the year, is rapidly approaching.

But once the draft and the intial rush of free agent signings on July 1 are over, I don't know how much I'll be posting until the season starts, if it does at all. (0) comments
