Fata is nothing, he'll be barely useful in Bingo.

Something for Nothing. Those are the only details I need. I'm happy .. ish.

Phoenix got the better of this one for sure. Boo.

Who did Fata play for?

Phoenix's AHL affiliate...whatever they are.

Phoenix eh? well Murray must of still felt bad about stealing that 5th for Mcgrattan.

LOL - yeah really.

I hope Zubov ain't planning a similar move...

Nah...he sparked a comeback for Bingo where they were down 3 goals in the 3rd and he scored 2 and assisted on Shannon's game tying goal (unfortunately the B-Sens lost in the final minute), but he's a top line, big minute kind of guy. There are a few guys down there that say he's quickly entering a different stratosphere than anyone else down there.

So good news for Zubov IMO.

Yeah, but we owed them after Comrie for Kaigorodov.

And McGratton as well.

I'd love to see Zubov up at some point this year. And also, on a sadder note, it's becoming increasingly obvious that maybe Fisher needs a change of scenery.

Notice that story in the Citizen when they asked Spezza and Phillips whether they'd like to be Sens for life after Alfie signed his extension, but they didn't ask Fisher...

Give him time, he's been through the trenches, he's a great hockey player. As Murray said, if/when he gets one, he'll get a whole bunch of goals/points.

I wouldn't worry too much about him personally.

On a side note:
Would now not be the PERFECT time to try Fish on the wing? He says he's not comfortable of the wing, but...how comfortable is he now?

I would line him up on LW on Spezza and Heatley's line next game if I was Hartsburg. Let Vermette center a line as well, gives him a little change as well.

Well, looks like we picked up our long-sought-after puck-mover.
