Wow, this is inferior to that other thread that got all the info summed up nicely in one post. And it included the broadcast details.

Mendes has a blog up about teenaged Sens rookies who scored 30+ points in their rookie season. Apparently there's only been five, which is not that surprising. But what was surprising is who was the latest one -- Meszaros.

So, will Lazar get 30 points?

Thanks Prags. In the future, let's get this GDT up early and avoid this whole schmozzle.

Beers. On. Ice.

Oh, we get Gord Miller/Ray Ferraro working the game tonight. #longliveTSN

For the Preds:

Bourque-Ribiero-Neal
Forsberg-Roy-Smith
Wilson-Jamkrok-Jokinen
Clune-Gaustad-Nystrom

Josi-Weber
Ekholm-Jones
Volchenkov-Ellis

Bourque is on their first line? All of a sudden, I'm not too bummed about having him in my pool. Also, I had forgotten Volchenkov was in Nashville now.

Banned!

how do you have Bourque in you pool? Must be deep.

This isn't a fantasy draft, it's a real-to-goodness NHL team.

So, how many Bourques are in the league? I did a double-take at first because Ribeiro is an ex-Hab and for a split second I wondered if this was a double-ex-Hab line.

If he settles into a 3rd line role, he could get 30 points without question.

New Sens entertainment. Ala Washington Nationals.
