We may have Randy Robitaille.

We have signed Robitaille to a one year deal and now just have to wait for him to cleat waivers. If he does, Ottawa will have a decent depth signing. Robitaille's offensive numbers over the last few years are similar to Dean Mcammond, but he is apparently not the greatest defensive player.

I can't honestly say I know much about his game other than that he is a journeyman who has ended up in the RSL. Ottawa has had a good track record with these type's of players recently, so hopefully it turns out well.

The real question is what implication does this have on the team? Will Schubert go back to D? Is Richardson going to sit in the press box? Will Foligno be sent down? Or does this mean Dean won't be back for a while? Hopefully it is not an indicator of Mcammond's health, as he is a crucial part of this teams depth.

This Just In: Downie Admits he is a Homo

Well, it seems some players just still need to cross the line. And before I discuss this at all I am getting a few things out of the way:

Downie on Deaner: Charge - Y, Jump - Y, Late - N, Elbow - Y, Boarding - Y
Armstrong on Koivu: Charge - N, Jump - N, Late - N, Elbow 0 N, Boarding - N
Neil on Drury: Charge - N, Jump - N, Late - N, Elbow - N, Boarding - N

And just for the record, the Downie hit was 0.2 seconds later than the Drury hit...and that still isn't late. So go whine somewhere else anyone from Buffalo.

Alright, now onto the hit. Cheap, dirty, Downie. It just goes together. This kind of play is disgusting, but what is even worse is the fans supporting it. Fans saying it's good hockey, hell I have even seen Ottawa fans saying they wish he was on our team.

Sorry, but this is where I draw the line. Intentionally trying to injure with blatantly illegal hits is not the way to win - especially in the preseason.

Every team in the league was sent a video before this hit saying that headshots would be more heavily penalized and telling the dangers of them. Heres hoping that gives the NHL justification to really throw the book at this kid.

You know it's a bad hit when even Leaf players and the Flyers GM are coming out and saying it was dirty.
