Could this be good news for the Ottawa Senators?  For their sake, I hope so.  It’s been announced that the New York Islanders have traded Mike Comrie and Chris Campoli to the Sens in exchange for veteran centre Dean McAmmond and the Sharks’ first-round pick in the 2009 Entry Draft (via a different trade). 

The Sens could really use a boost at this point.  They were just getting on a roll when team captain, Daniel Alfredsson fractured his jaw, and things just have been really off-course for the club these past couple seasons. 

I’m hoping Comrie can just pick up where he left off since this is his second time dressing for Ottawa.  Of the situation, the 28-year-old said: ”I played in Ottawa before and I know what’s at stake and what it’s like.  It’s an exciting place to play and a great group of guys and I’m obviously thrilled about the opportunity to play on a great team.”

Mike Comrie is dating Hilary Duff and it’s rumored that his new teammate, Mike Fisher, has been getting cosy with country music star, Carrie Underwood.  Just sayin’…

Apparently, fans saw her on the “hug cam” at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto in the VIP box with Fisher’s family.  Despite cheering him on during a battle against Toronto Maple Leafs, the Sens lost 3-1.

Here are some more hockey couple pics:
