Why Melnyk Needs to Sell the Senators

Why Melnyk Needs to Sell the Senators

December 15th, 2017 A good owner is like a good stay-at-home defenceman: The less you hear his name, the better. Apparently, the owner of the Ottawa Senators, Eugene Melnyk, didn’t get that memo. Never one to shy away from the media, Melnyk was once again at it Wednesday as he responded to a plethora of topics related to him and his team. While his...
Overused Oduya Hurting the Senators

Overused Oduya Hurting the Senators

December 12th, 2017 When the Ottawa Senators signed Johnny Oduya this summer, it seemed like a natural fit. The team had just lost Marc Methot to the Vegas Golden Knights in the expansion draft and were looking for a veteran to replace him. And, with a blue line chock-full of young players, he seemed like the perfect mentor with two Stanley Cups to his...
What's Wrong With the Ottawa Senators?

What's Wrong With the Ottawa Senators?

November 25th, 2017 All is not well in Canada’s capital for the local team. It’s not quite at the state-of-emergency level, to borrow from the region’s political speak, but if the Ottawa Senators can’t turn things around – and soon – there will be a price to pay. It’s a far cry from the beginning of the season, when the Senators bolted up...
Mark Stone Playing for Big Pay-Day

Mark Stone Playing for Big Pay-Day

November 12th, 2017 If there was an area of Mark Stone’s game that needed work heading into 2017-18 it was consistency. Despite being one of the most dogged defensive forwards in the league each of the past three seasons and scoring some big goals in that time, Stone developed an unenviable reputation of disappearing for long stretches. Playing for a...
No Karlsson, No Problem for Senators

No Karlsson, No Problem for Senators

October 16th, 2017 Raise your hand if you thought an Erik Karlsson-less Ottawa Senators team would make it through the first five games of the season without a regulation loss. Not many out there, huh? Fresh off the franchise’s first-ever sweep of western Canada (the latter two wins coming in especially convincing fashion) the Senators are not only...
Ottawa Senators 2017-18 Season Preview: What to Expect

Ottawa Senators 2017-18 Season Preview: What to Expect

October 4th, 2017 Out to prove their run to the Eastern Conference Final last season wasn’t a fluke, the Ottawa Senators already have their backs against the wall. They could be without their leading scorer from last postseason in Erik Karlsson, as well as their fourth and seventh-leading scorers (Derick Brassard and Clarke MacArthur respectively) on...
Brown, Formenton Impressive for Senators

Brown, Formenton Impressive for Senators

September 29th, 2017 It’s at this point of the preseason that rosters begin to take near-regular season shape. For Guy Boucher and the Ottawa Senators, the hope was to ice lineups in their final two games against the Winnipeg Jets and Montreal Canadiens that would resemble, in the closest possible terms, their opening night lineup. That their roster...
Senators' Injuries Add Intrigue to Preseason

Senators' Injuries Add Intrigue to Preseason

September 20th, 2017 It’s a little early to start parading down Elgin Street just yet, but with their 6-2 thumping of the Toronto Maple Leafs Monday night, the Ottawa Senators officially kicked off their preseason schedule with a bang. The veterans had a good showing, as Mike Hoffman and Mark Stone combined for five points while Dion Phaneuf and...
