Saturday Night Hockey: It's Opposite Season
Ok, either I'm in a long dream or the Hockey Gods are in a week-long drink-a-thon (say that 10 times fast) because there are unnatural things going on. Carey Price making big saves, Edmonton winning, New Jeresy losing, Crosby not scoring, Phoenix about to get an owner and the biggest travesty of all: The Leafs are winning.
Ugh...after saying that I'm too depressed to go on, so just the line-ups right now:
Line-up Notables
Ottawa Senators vs. Montreal Canadiens
Ottawa: Filip Kuba is still out while Pascal Leclaire has shown his glass-like qualities last game, meaning Brian Elliot gets the start tonight.
Montreal: Andrei Markov's back!...Well supposity, he's a game-time decision apparently. Carey “Win Every Second Game” Price is in nets.
Battle of Alberta - Part Deux: Edmonton Oilers vs. Calgary Flames
Edmonton: J-F Jacques is on IR after back surgery while Shawn Horcoff and Colin Fraser are more than likely going to play tonight. Nikolai Khabibulin will start.
Calgary: Besides the lengthy IR list, Raitis Ivanans and Rene Bourque are considered doubtful for tonight. Miikka Kiprusoff gets the start.

Saturday Night Hockey: HNIC Really Starts
Welcome to - what is hopefully going to be - an every Saturday night feature where the games with Canadian teams will be highlighted along with other news and notes. So enjoy...
I know, I know, technically Thursday is when it started but it's a Saturday thing nonetheless. Speaking of Thursday's edition, I think Cherry was right about Price. He has the potental to be a good goalie but there is too much pressure on him (I'm guilty of that too), but the (current) fact remains that Halak shouldn't have been traded.
Links
Zdeno Chara has signed a huge (get it?) extension with Boston.
Philadelphia goalie Michael Leighton will need back surgery.
The Calgary Flames has a new arena sponser. Now every player on the roster gets a free NHL tin can.
Atlanta Thrasher and former Cape Breton Screaming Eagle (BOOOOOO!) goalie Ondrej Pavelec is still in hospital after collapsing before a game against Washington.
Line-up Notables
Ottawa Senators vs. Toronto Maple Leafs
Ottawa: Filip Kuba is really the only notable injury. Yes Spezza is too but more than likely he'll be playing tonight. Looking around it looks like Pascal Leclaire is expected to start.
Toronto: Brett Ledba and Jeff Finger (wait, he's STILL on the team?!?!) are out. J-S Gigure is expected to start.
Montreal Canadiens vs. Pittsburgh Penguins
Montreal: For the second straight season, Andrei Markov is out for a few months to start the season (ok, so last year he was injured in the first game, you get the point). Roman Hamrlik is out while Mike Cammalleri is schedule to make his season debut after his suspension. Carey Price is starting (and in other news, Crosby is expected to reach 50 goals tonight)
Pittsburgh: Jordan Staal is still out with an infected foot and Arron Asham has an injured shoulder. M-A Fleury is getting the start.
Retro Night: Los Angeles Kings vs. Vancouver Canucks
Los Angeles: Matt Greene (shoulder) and Scott Perse (groin) are the only notable injuries. Jonathan Quick is getting the start tonight.
Vancouver: Sami Salo, Alexandre Borrows, and Rick Rypien are all on IR. It looks like Henrik Sedin is going to be named captian, while Ryan Kesler is also in talks about getting the C. Roberto Luongo gets the start, but its like I needed to point that out.
