I am a Canadian historian studying at UBC and currently living in Ottawa ON. who grew up watching and playing hockey. I write about the Ottawa Senators, past and present, for The Hockey Writers. I think fancy stats are great. Also a huge soccer and Rugby fan.

In Defense of Alex Chiasson

In Defense of Alex Chiasson

July 31st, 2015 Alex Chiasson hasn't exactly endeared himself to the Ottawa Senators' faithful. For proof just look at some of the tweets regarding his arbitration hearing. https://twitter.com/BonksMullet/status/560993657591824384 https://twitter.com/SensBench/status/623487495087476736 It seems that the biggest gripe fans have with Chiasson is...
Disappointing Prospects: Senators' Development Camp Edition

Disappointing Prospects: Senators' Development Camp Edition

July 20th, 2015 This post is the flip side of last week's Hope For Ottawa's Future post. Rather than celebrating the diamond in the rough, late-round draft steal and highlighting clever signings of undrafted prospects, in this post I am going to take a look at players whose performance during the 2015 development camp should raise red flags for...
Hope For Ottawa's Future: Impressive Development Camp Performances

Hope For Ottawa's Future: Impressive Development Camp Performances

July 12th, 2015 Think that July means no hockey? Think again. While NHL regulars are out on the golf course, spending time with family or naming puppies after their teammates and taking pictures of them next to the Stanley Cup, a new generation of NHL hopefuls gather in cities around the league for the annual development camps. By now, every hockey fan...
Ottawa Draft Round Up: Goodbye Robin Lehner and Eric Gryba

Ottawa Draft Round Up: Goodbye Robin Lehner and Eric Gryba

June 30th, 2015 Bryan Murray had a busy and extremely productive 72 hours. Between Thursday morning and Saturday evening he re-signed franchise building blocks Mark Stone and Mika Zibanejad to reasonable deals, solved Ottawa's three-headed goalie problem, saved over $5 million in cap space and began to clear out the logjam on Ottawa's blue line. By...
Ottawa Only Has Themselves to Blame for Losing Chris Wideman

Ottawa Only Has Themselves to Blame for Losing Chris Wideman

June 12th, 2015 Earlier this month Ottawa Senators' prospect Chris Wideman won the Eddie Shore Award as the AHL's top defenseman. Yet, despite an incredibly successful season in Binghamton, Wideman is most likely leaving the Senators' organization come July 1st. Why? Because he wants to play in the NHL and it's clear that won't happen if he stays in...
Curtis Lazar: A Western Canadian Patrice Bergeron?

Curtis Lazar: A Western Canadian Patrice Bergeron?

May 29th, 2015 That Curtis Lazar has endeared himself to Ottawa fans over the course of the 2014-15 season is incontestable. From eating a hamburger thrown on the ice after a Sens' win, to moving in with the Phillips family and helping with babysitting, to making his mentor (and landlord) Chris Phillips a get well card, the 20-year-old center has a...
Ottawa Senators Off-Season Game Plan: Forwards

Ottawa Senators Off-Season Game Plan: Forwards

May 25th, 2015 Ottawa's Off-Season Game Plan in relation to their forward corps can be summed up in the three letters R, F and A; as in restricted free agents. In short, Ottawa has five forwards who are all RFAs and while this is not unusual for a team, Ottawa is in a unique situation because they are both a budget team and almost all their key...
Memorial Cup Madness: Tobias Lindberg Edition

Memorial Cup Madness: Tobias Lindberg Edition

May 18th, 2015 The NHL playoffs are not the only high stakes hockey happening in late May. From May 22nd to 31st, the winners of the OHL, WHL and QJMHL playoffs, plus the host team from Quebec City, battle it out for the Memorial Cup. The four teams competing this year are: the Kelowna Rockets, Rimouski Oceanic, host team Quebec Remparts and the Oshawa...
