His overall game has improved on the ice, but that doesn't help you win fantasy hockey. Not good.

I came to this realization last year and dealt him for Letang, just before his stroke...and I still think I won that deal!! It's a salary cap keeper league as well.

I think you did as well my little friend.

[Instant Karma]

I own Boobie Ryan in my keeper.. Nobody wants him, I'm stuck with him..

Yeah, I was trying to acquire him several years back in the early days with the Ducks. Kinda glad that was rebuffed now.

[Zorro]

I should have traded him when he was 1st traded.. Boooooooooo on me!!

Murray has vaginal cancer

Get a grip already

Wtf dude...totally uncalled for. No need to be a piece of [email protected] have no problems with calling out players and calling them babies and whatnot but this comment is way off base. I don't ever recall sens fans complaining about Murrays cancer as a reason they played like they did.

Wow..you are something bud.

[HockeyProphet]

Sens fans are just jaded former Leafs fans, they're always ready and raring with an excuse why their team sucks and why next year will be "the year".

Bobby Ryan was injured...Spezza is the devil...Turris has a hangnail, Murray has vaginal cancer whaaa whaaa whaaa

Get a grip already...they limped into the playoffs on some flukey goaltending and then showed their true colors when it actually mattered

I would say every game they won, being a live or die game, leading into the playoffs showed their colours!

Yeah, Ottawa was lights out over that long stretch and played out of their minds. The future is bright...now, what to do with that pesky goaltender situation...

wow, all your posts seem to be bitching about other teams, their fans or other posters ... must have nothing better to do then try to troll other people

p.s. i'm pretty sure no Sens fans are former Leaf fans .. maybe former Habs fans ....

Senators Prospect Tobias Lindberg Shining at Memorial Cup
by Callum Fraser | May 27, 2015


Senators fans have had a genuine interest in the Memorial Cup the past two years, and rightfully so.

The previous instalment of the CHL’s best-of-the-best tournament showcased Ottawa’s beloved youngster Curtis Lazar playing in the final games of his junior career. In dramatic fashion, Lazar scored the game-winning goal during triple overtime in the semi-final to send the Edmonton Oil Kings to the championship game. The final was a lot less theatric as the Oil Kings steamrolled the Guelph Storm 6-3 and were named Memorial Cup champions.

Lazar won junior hockey’s biggest prize, and now it might be time for another Senator to accomplish the same feat.

Tobias Lindberg, a fourth-round pick of the Senators, is certainly making an impression. While his Oshawa Generals have earned a spot in the Cup final after going undefeated in round robin play, Lindberg is putting his scoring ability on display.

He already has three goals in three games (adding on an assist, as well), but none have been more meaningful – and prettier, I might add – than his game-winner Tuesday night.


Lindberg sits one point behind the tournament’s scoring leader and his team sits one win away from a Memorial Cup.

A Future Senator

Everyone remembers the trade Ottawa made with the Tampa Bay Lightning that saw Ben Bishop swapped for Cory Conacher, but some forget that the Senators also got a draft pick with that deal. That pick turned out to be, you guessed it, Lindberg.

So maybe not all is lost in what some were calling a disastrous exchange.

Believe it or not, as a 19-year-old, Lindberg is a rookie in the OHL. The Senators reportedly convinced him to come overseas and continue his hockey career in North America after spending three years with Djurgårdens, the Swedish Elite League’s junior team.

Finishing with 78 points in 67 games during the OHL’s regular season, Lindberg continued his success into the playoffs where he produced at nearly a point-per-game pace.

Though he is seen as more of a playmaker, that doesn’t stop Lindberg from revealing that he may very well be just as good at putting the puck in the net off his own stick. For example, when he had a natural hat trick in the first period of Game 1 in the first round of the OHL playoffs against the Peterborough Petes.



Though he is eligible for one more season with the Generals in the OHL, don’t be at all surprised if Lindberg is with the Senators AHL affiliate in Binghamton next year.

He won’t have much of a shot at all in making the NHL squad out of training camp as Ottawa’s roster is so jam-packed at the moment, but there’s no doubt that Lindberg will be up with the big club in no time at all.

For now, we’ll just keep comparing the likelihood of his professional success with each and every playoff game Bishop wins.

3 weeks without any Sens talk - boo.

Enjoy the summer. See you at the draft when the Sens will probably make it official that they are going to go with Anderson and Hammond as their tandem - probably just so the chicken and hamburger jokes to continue. But really, it will be because (as I've shared my opinion for a couple years now), Lehner is not progressing, but actually regressing.

Good to see Murray feel well enough to say he is going to try and manage one more season.

Cameron signing official and to a prove your worth term. I like it.

Pageau re-signs. Amazing AAV and term as well. He won't rest on his laurels.

Have to assume one of Legwand, Greening, Smith and/or a Dman get moved with Lehner (or Anderson). Again, my guess will always be Lehner until I'm proven wrong.

Peace out.

What's your guess on split starts for the two if that is how it unfolds.

I'm not a big fan of Hammond so if I had to guess, I would put Anderson starting at least his career high with Ottawa at 63 games. Let's just go with 67 (he's played 71 before w/ Colorado) for Anderson and 15 for Hammond. I see this as Anderson's crease all year.

[Big Ev]

60 for Anderson 22 for Hammond. That is unless Anderson gets injured which is extremely likely. Hammond will get 20 at the minimum

Bobby Ryan.....?? What should I expect from this guy in a points only league going forward??

[Zorro]

Are there any Ottawa fans on the boards who may like to predict Ryan's next three years??
