He is an awesome player to watch. May very well win the Hart someday.

Zetterberg will be out for the next four to six weeks after being slashed by Canucks defenceman Bryan Allen in the third period of last night's game.
How can you cheer for a team with players like that???

;)

Yeah, no kidding.

I want Top Spin, Rainbow Six 3, Crimson Skies, GTA3, Return of the King, Medal of Honor: Rising Sun, Links 2004, Project Gotham Racing 2, and so many others. The Xbox has an awesome lineup this winter. Maybe even the best two months in gaming history.

It looks good, but how is it if you don't have XBox Live?

Is the "single" player worth buying the game for?

The single player is very good... But if it wasn't for online play, I'd probably have picked up SSX3.

Allen faces possible suspension

TSN.ca Staff
11/5/2003

The Vancouver Canucks could be without defenceman Bryan Allen for tonight's game against the Nashville Predators.

Allen has a hearing scheduled today with the NHL following his slash on Detroit's Henrik Zetterberg, who suffered a broken bone in his leg during Monday's game.

Allen is facing a suspension of four games or less due to the fact that the hearing is being conducted by telephone.

Zetterberg is scheduled to be out of the Red Wings lineup for the next four to six weeks.

Thomas signs on with Detroit

Canadian Press
11/5/2003

DETROIT (CP) - The Detroit Red Wings have signed veteran winger Steve Thomas to a one-year, $1-million US deal.

Thomas, an unrestricted free agent, was working out in Toronto this fall, waiting for an offer. The one-year deal also includes performance bonuses.

The deal could bring the 40-year-old Thomas closer to his dream of winning his first Stanley Cup. He fell one game short last spring with the Anaheim Mighty Ducks.

The Red Wings were looking for help after losing star forward Henrik Zetterberg for four to six weeks to a broken leg. The Wings are also without star defenceman Derian Hatcher (knee injury) for the rest of the regular season.

``Given the injury to Henrik Zetterberg and the importance of maintaining our position in the standings, we felt it was important to add a veteran forward,'' Wings general manager Ken Holland said in a statement. ``Steve is a talented forward, he knows what it takes to win and he has great character.

``He should fit in very well with our team both on the ice and in the dressing room. We're very please to have him as a Red Wing.''

Detroit's next game is Saturday at home to Nashville.

Thomas was languishing in Chicago last season before a March deadline deal to Anaheim saw him score 10 goals in 12 games with the Mighty Ducks and another four goals in the post-season. He made $1 million last season.

Thomas has 411 goals and 500 assists in 1,191 career regular-season NHL games with Toronto (twice), Chicago (twice), the N.Y. Islanders, New Jersey and Anaheim.

How funny... In my NHL2k4 franchise, I just signed Steve Thomas when Pavel Datsuyk went down with an injury.

Allen suspended for two games

TSN.ca Staff
11/5/2003

The Vancouver Canucks will be without defenceman Bryan Allen for tonight's game against the Nashville Predators.

Allen has been suspended for two games for his slash on Detroit's Henrik Zetterberg, who suffered a broken bone in his leg during Monday's game.

Allen, who will forfeit $11,916.66 US in pay, will be eligible to return Saturday against Minnesota.

Allen was facing a suspension of up to four games due to the fact that his hearing was conducted over the telephone.

Zetterberg is scheduled to be out of the Red Wings lineup for the next four to six weeks.

Hatcher undergoes surgery

TSN.ca Staff
11/6/2003

Detroit Red Wings defenceman Derian Hatcher underwent successful surgery to repair torn ligaments in his right knee on Thursday.

Hatcher, who was injured in a game against Vancouver back on October 16, is expected to be out of the lineup for the next four to six months. The team hopes he will healthy enough to return in time for the playoffs.

Hatcher joined the Red Wings this past summer, signing a five-year, $30-million US contract after playing the first 12 seasons of his career with the Dallas Stars organization.
