The Senators unveiled their new Reebok jerseys before 6,500 fans last night.
Uniwatch likes them.
Apart from removing the swooping stripe from the middle of the jersey, the Centurion that forms the logo has been updated. The old guy had a soft, paint-by-numbers frown whereas the new one has a younger, more angular look. They've also wiped away the tear that appeared to be welling up in the old Centurion's right eye.
Reading this got me thinking about the active NHL players skating toward a spot in the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Here's Hockeydirt's list of the player's destined for a place beside Howe, Gretzky & Orr in the Hall. This is followed by a list of those who could earn a spot if they finish their careers with a flourish along the lines of hitting the 500-goal mark or leading their team to a Cup victory.

Ok - let the games begin - tell HockeyDirt who we've missed, overrated & underrated.
The Lightning have been sold to a group that includes former Columbus GM Doug McLean, Florida real estate developer Jeff Sherrin and a guy named Oren Koules.
Oren Koules who played some minor pro hockey in the early 80s & the co-founder of Evolution Entertainment - the production company that brought us the Saw movies.
This is not Koules' first venture into the hockey business - he is also identified as the owner of the Helena Bighorns of the NAHL. The team, and the Saw movie franchise, were at the centre of Koules' messy divorce from Risa Shapiro.
Eklund is the most famous/infamous hockey blogger - check out this great article on him from the NHL Fanhouse: Unmasked and Anonymous
