A Foot In The Crease - Episode 2.8

Episode 2.8 of AFITC brings you all the news and notes from around the NHL. The Redline Report recaps the Leaf action from the past week, discusses the changing of the guard in Philadelphia and looks at the injury woes of the Chicago Blackhawks. On The Bubble features more listener email, the Troubling Fact of the Week and an interview we did with the PA announcer of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Andy Frost, in which we asked him everything from his thoughts on Darcy Tucker and Bryan McCabe to the unbalanced schedule and the possibility of bringing back wooden sticks. Rigamarole looks at the whining coming from Sergei Samsonov in Montreal this past week.

Thanks go out to Andy Frost for taking time out of his busy schedule to join us on the program. We really appreciate it!

As always we love to receive emails at afootinthecrease@gmail.com.

Music in this episode included "I Will Destroy You" by The Sleepers, "Every Color" by Matthew Ebel and "In My Bunkbed" by Lejeune.

Sens Underground - Season 2: Episode 5

Finally, a week to proud of. In 2 games we scored more than in the previous 6 games... our team is back baby!

This week's games:

Colorado 2 - Ottawa 1
Ottawa 8 - New Jersey 1
Ottawa 6 - Toronto 2

As you can imagine, this was a heated show after Tuesday's game against Toronto which saw the Leafs return to their goonish ways. Tucker again shows why we think he's a punk-ass Beeeeaaaatch. And Kilger picks up the slack where Tie Domi left off.

We play our first voice mail this week. Give us a call, it's better than us butchering your emails on on the show... call 613-482-1920 and give us your thoughts.

After the recent incident where a Sens fan was brutally attacked while leaving Scotia Bank Place, we throw a controversial topic out this week: Leafs fans and their behaviour in enemy territory. We go Dr. Phil and explore this social plague.

All of this and the regular goodies too including... Injury Report, Game Recaps, Player of the Week, Hockey Pool Update, News from Around the League, Behind the Jock and everyone's favourite.... Sucking Like Jenna.

Interview night on the underground.
 
Fresh off our “night in the box”, we bring to you our final episode before the start of the regular season.  And what a start against our arch enemies the (less than) dreaded (extremely disliked) Toronto Maple Leafs.
 
On this week’s show we do an interview with our podcasting peers, Jeff and Dave from “A foot in the crease”, the Toronto Hockey podcast and answer a few questions they threw our way.
 
We also have a podcasting exclusive with Ian Mendes, reporter for Sportsnet and Ottawa Senators insider.
 
We recap the preseason and discuss who made the big club and who got sent packing.  We discuss the “News from around the NHL”, Sens Player of the Week, and of course, listener E-mail.
 
Keep on listening as we’ve added a bit of fun and sound bites from those that joined us in the “underground box”. Brace yourselves you’re going underground!

Sens Underground - Season 2: Episode 1

Can you believe it's been 3 months?

What can we say...  It's been an incredibly busy off season. If you haven't checked out our site, there have been a lot of changes.

And speaking of changes, just look at our roster with the loss of Havlat and Chara to name but 2.

We hand in our first week essays: "What I did on summer vacation".

We're trying to keep the shows a bit shorter but bear with us, this was our first try...

We give you a pre-season review and our predictions, player of the week and of course your great E-mails.

Check out our new segment "News from around the league", where we quickly run through the week's major NHL news.

In "Behind the Jock", we review the moves the Sens made in the off-season and break down this year's team player by player.

And of course everyone's favourite..."Sucking like Jenna" where we discuss what really sucked in the NHL this week (or in this case a few weeks ago).

Welcome back and Go Underground!

A Foot In The Crease - Episode 2.6

Already six shows into season two on AFITC and ironically enough, the Maple Leafs are six games into their regular season schedule. In the Redline Report, as always, we bring recaps of four of those six games to be played last week. In the recap of the Flames against the Maple Leafs this past Saturday at ACC, we include some bonus audio clips to give the summary a more first hand feel.

Also in the RR, we feature the second edition of What To Be-Leaf, take a spin through the Revolving Door, discuss the possibility of seeing Brian Leetch in a Leaf uniform this season, take a look at the early season success of the youngsters on the Penguins and regret the early season success of Eric Lindros. The Sticky Moment of the Week concludes the Redline Report.

On The Bubble brings you more listener email and The Troubling Fact of the Week. Rigamarole takes a look back at the career so far of Mats Sundin in a Leaf uniform.

A Foot In The Crease - Episode 2.5

Today, we bring you episode 2.5 of A Foot in the Crease, the first since the commencement of the regular season, and what a show it is.

Two interviews to preview and make sense of the Leafs first two regular season games against the Ottawa Senators: one with Shredder, Russell and Crazy Ivan from Sens Underground and another with the host of TSN’s Off The Record Michael Landsberg.

The Redline Report recaps those first two contests and in a new segment, What To Be-Leaf, we suggest what the results from games one and two of the season might mean for the Maple Leafs going forward. Also discussed in The RR is the trade involving Janne Niinimaa and Mike Riberio, Jordan Staal’s future in the NHL this season and the purchase intent agreement signed by James Balsillie to take over the Pittsburgh Penguins.

On The Bubble features more listener email and the debut of another new segment, The Troubling Fact of the Week. Rigamarole pays tribute to the legacy Borje Salming left both on the Maple Leafs and the National Hockey League.

Special thanks again to Michael Landsberg for generously agreeing to come on AFITC to share his thoughts on the Toronto Maple Leafs.
