All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

Senators get Simpson from Ducks for Schastlivy
February 5, 2004
ANAHEIM, United States (AFP) - The Ottawa Senators added much-needed toughness, acquiring defenseman Todd Simpson from the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim for injury-prone left wing Petr Schastlivy.
Ottawa has been looking for a physical presence since Saturday's penalty-filled 5-1 National Hockey League loss at Toronto. The search reportedly led to recently retired right wing Rob Ray but ended in Anaheim, where Simpson led the Ducks with 105 penalty minutes.
The 30-year-old defenseman showed newfound offensive prowess last month by scoring goals in a career-high three straight games. He had four goals and three assists in 46 games with Anaheim, his fourth team during a nine-year career.
Schastlivy has just two goals and four assists in 43 games. The 24-year-old Russian totaled nine goals and 10 assists in 33 games last season before undergoing surgery to repair a lower abdominal strain. He tore his right ACL in 2001-02 and missed the final four months of the season.
