- Friday grab bag: MSM v. Bloggers, defence, television Hockey Capital | Ottawa Citizen Since I took over this job a few years ago, I've put a lot of effort into trying to create more links between the paper and the web, and bloggers and the mainstream media. I quite enjoy some of the blogs produced by fans in Ottawa, and have had some great laughs on both The 6th Sens and Sens Underground podcasts over the past year or so. Last season, four bloggers joined our popular prediction panel, writing entertaining projections for each Senators game and cracking me up on a regular basis.Yet there still seems to be a disconnect on some levels between the MSM and interweb authors, so our S...
- Basta! Habs Inside/Out Mike Boone | Montreal Gazette It's a word I learned watching movies and listening to my Italian friends.It means "Enough!" – and the exclamation point is added because "Basta!" is usually shouted by someone who has about as much as he/she can take.The generally agreed-upon facts:In 2005, the Montreal Canadiens did not draft Anze Kopitar.

- Sens' prospects see opening Ottawa Citizen Two of Ottawa's top young defensive prospects, Jared Cowen and Patrick Wiercioch, were among the two dozen or so NHL players getting some pre-training camp skating in at the Bell Sensplex on Thursday.
- Price, Price and more Price Habs Inside/Out | Montreal Gazette • Pat Hickey's take:"There was never any doubt that Price would sign and my only surprise was that Gauthier seemed unnecessarily generous, giving Price $2.5 million in the coming season and $3 million the following season. "It's a bargain if he can surpass the numbers he put up as a rookie. But it will be wasted money if he doesn't improve over his performance since February 2009. Since Price appeared in the 2009 All-Star game in Montreal, he has looked like anything but an all-star. His record in that period has been 20-32-10 which means that he has lost more than twice as ma...
