O'Byrne, Kostopoulos arrested in Tampa

When exactly did stealing become funny? Your response sounds like you accept the story that he was drunk and stole some ladies purse and you think it is funny and crack-hoed. If he did do it then there is nothing funny about it. If that makes me not cool or 'jock' enough then so be it.

Dude, that is funny. Yes, like a clown funny.

LMAO... Good one man :) I always thought brisbois had something to do with this.

It was their Team night out!! We should be happy that they are bonding and not fracturing a la les 3 goofballs

where did u see this press release?

'cause its all about you Timo... I don't mind them celebrating a little. Is there a better place? I know I would if given the chance. My concern is why did they have to do so until 3:00 in the freaking morning? Why not keep it a private party? Some investments (players) are going to be watched a little more closely.

So, they should just go and sit in their rooms and brood over the last game, rather than put it behind them? All in the name of respect to the fans, of course.

I don't think it's fair to say they don't give a crap, but I do see what you're saying. Even the best of us need to disengage ourselves sometimes after a crappy time at work. Being otu until 3am & running into the po-po isn't exactly what we want to hear about, but I'm sure they weren't our for beers, looking for hookers & bashing their careers in the NHL. Aagin, hopefully they both learned a valuable lesson here & it won't happen again. GO HABS! ~Sergei Kostitsyn, marry me!!

Timo, When you have a bad day @ work on Friday, do you go in to work on the weekend or do try to do something to get your mind off it?

Good lord. It's disrespecting the fans by going out and having a good time on their day off? Are they supposed to mope for days because they lost a game? O'Byrne allegedly did something stupid. Something not akin to dogfighting or mowing down people when he was liquored up. It should serve as a good lesson to the team, but it is far from the epic problem it's being made out to be.

LOL - was that picture taken over AllStar weekend?

Where did you find that picture? lol Ovechkin looks totally out of it.

"They're fresh at the beginning of the year, and then little by little, they fade." I disagree with that statement. We played like junk in November yet amazingly in January. That's not possible by your logic.

we have the second most points in the eastern conference and are top 5 in the league in offence. Did you think we would be in this position right now? hell no. We are 7 points out of 9th, so what, we are 5 points out of first. I know all about the collapse from last year, but this team is alot better this year. Are we not better in net? Are we not better on defence (especially with no breezer 15-4-3 or something like that)? Our 5 on 5 is much better than last year. Powerplay still top 2, pk, not as good but it is improving. Do we need some more help? yes. Is stillman the answer? Probably not. He is a left wing, we have alot of depth on the left side. Who's job should he take? a.k. 46, higgins, sergei's, or a 4th liner? He also had to waive a ntc. Maybe he didn't want to come here. Just like you i want to win also, but look how far we have come and how many "hockey analysts" we made eat some crow. We are 7 points out of 9th as we both have stated, welcome to hockey parity and the result of the 3 point system

We're getting O'Byrne and Hamr back...which will make us bigger. Playing Streit at F will make us better as well. At some point rolling four lines will begin to pay off as other teams will be overtaxing their top players. Someone said that perhaps rolling four lines is why we haven't had too many injuries this year. Perhaps.

Not sure trading away a 30-year old Dman and Patrick Eaves takes a whole chunk out of the Senators future. Hope so but seems like a pretty small price to pay for Stillman and Commodore. Even if they are rentals for this year only.

Look at happened to tampa bay. Win the cup one year(which calgary should of won in game 6) and haven't competed ever since.

Agreed. Gainey is a genius & is planning for something that will make us proud. I never doubt that man. GO HABS! ~Sergei Kostitsyn, marry me!!

"The Habs weren't going to win this year anyway"......If im not mistaken since when was this season over? Just wait till 26th(trade deadline) and then make assumptions.. Besides that i can see the Habs doing damage..Its all about mental preperation, the team we have now is capable of doing alot of damage if they put the work into it meanign a full 60 mins every single game. I bleieve Gainey will make a move ,but just because the Sens added more"depth" ,doesn't mean these guys will instantly click with the team.

#1 Because that's what normal people do when they go out to party in celebration... Players can't be human too? #2 Would you rather party in a place swarming with media and fans, the same town where you can't walk down the street without being congradulated or heckled? Or party in the hot sun, with way more privacy, with the possibilty of swimming in the ocean... I just don't get how anyone is suprised by or critical of the fact that these guys like to party. Maybe we should be like the soviets and lock our players in little dungeons between events.

Totally agree. 1 - Young people (20 -25) tend to like to stay out at the bar till closing time. Hockey players are no different. 2 - To say that the team going out to dinner in Montreal together would create a stir is an understatement. By going to a place in Florida they're guaranteed to not have fans "bothering" them the whole night. Ironically, most of the other team's use Montreal for their "rookie" dinner.

I'm guessing they figured it was a little easier to stumble around hammered and unrecognized in Florida than Montreal. At least, I hope they were hammered. GO HABS.
