Senators' Late Round Draft Success

Senators' Late Round Draft Success

May 24th, 2018 There’s no question the 2018 NHL Draft could be integral to the Ottawa Senators’ rebuild. Not only do they have the fourth overall pick, but also the 22nd overall pick, acquired as part of the Derrick Brassard trade to the Pittsburgh Penguins in February. With the fourth pick, the Senators are going to get a top-end player who...

How to React to Your Team's Offseason Moves

May 10th, 2017 The life of an National Hockey League General Manager is a difficult one. Your job is to build a championship team by drafting well, trading well, and signing well. When you make a mistake, the entire hockey world collapses on you. Fans go insane, the media talks about it for weeks...nay...years, and eventually, it will be cited as one...
Recap: Senators Unable to Take Advantage Against Kings

Recap: Senators Unable to Take Advantage Against Kings

December 10th, 2016 It began as a wild game between the Ottawa Senators and the Los Angeles Kings this afternoon at the Staples Centre, highlighted by a five-minute major penalty, two fights and several puck bounces leading to goals on both sides. Although the Senators had the ice tilted in their favour during the second period, they could not take...
Preview: Senators Enter the City of Angels

Preview: Senators Enter the City of Angels

December 10th, 2016 The Ottawa Senators continue their California road trip with a matinee match-up with the Los Angeles Kings. This will be the second and last meeting between these two teams for the regular season, and the Senators will look to sweep the season series. Goaltender Mike Condon hopes to continue his hot play with Craig Anderson on his leave...
Revamped Senators Gunning for Playoff Run

Revamped Senators Gunning for Playoff Run

October 22nd, 2016 It’s not easy to make the playoffs in the National Hockey League. In a long 82-game stretch, everything needs to go right. For the Ottawa Senators, there are a number of obvious lingering issues from last year, such as bad special teams, tons of shots against and a pattern of low possession time. But, what else can the team do to...
Can Zack Smith Have a Repeat Season?

Can Zack Smith Have a Repeat Season?

September 2nd, 2016 Many NHL teams would relish the idea of their third or fourth line forward scoring 25 goals in a season- and the Senators got exactly that last season from their third line forward, Zack Smith. Smith capitalized on a vacant top-six role with the club after long-term injuries knocked some regulars out of the lineup. Smith concluded the...
Chris Neil Looks For One More Year In Ottawa

Chris Neil Looks For One More Year In Ottawa

February 24th, 2016 Ottawa Senators’ forward Chris Neil has been a long-time fan favourite. Having played the entirety of his career in Ottawa since his first NHL game back in the 2001-02 season, it is no secret that he wants to stay in town and end his career where it began. Throughout this year, questions have been raised as to whether or not this...
The Ottawa Senators Trade Deadline Playbook

The Ottawa Senators Trade Deadline Playbook

February 9th, 2016 The Ottawa Senators' season is all but over. Sure, they still have 29 games left to play, but since returning from the All-Star Break, the Ottawa Senators have effectively played themselves out of contention in the Eastern Conference. When the puck dropped on their first game back against the Pittsburg Penguins the Senators were three...
Three Ottawa Senators Who Should Pack Their Bags

Three Ottawa Senators Who Should Pack Their Bags

October 5th, 2015 Colin Greening has most certainly played his final game for the Ottawa Senators. https://twitter.com/PxPOttawa/status/649968464640245760 With Greening being sent to Binghamton, only $1.7 million of his $2.65 million contract will count against the cap. While cap space is not a problem for this year, paying a player $2.76 million in...
Chris Phillips and Ottawa's Götterdämmerung

Chris Phillips and Ottawa's Götterdämmerung

September 9th, 2015 There are memories we create in life. Memories that when we think back to them, the hairs stand up on the back of our necks, a chill runs down our spine, and goosebumps cover our arms. They're memories that are so cast in stone you can recall exactly where you were, what you were doing, and what the weather was that day when it...
Cleaning House No. 1 Offseason Priority for Senators

Cleaning House No. 1 Offseason Priority for Senators

May 23rd, 2015 It's shaping up to be a particularly busy offseason for the Ottawa Senators, and one of the most important in recent memory. After winning the Matt O'Connor sweepstakes and signing Andrew Hammond to a three-year deal, the Senators' summer is already off to an exciting start. But the offseason isn't just going to be filled with...
The Ottawa Senators' New and Improved Checking Line

The Ottawa Senators' New and Improved Checking Line

March 8th, 2015 For a couple years now, the Ottawa Senators have struggled with finding a reliable checking line that can sufficiently provide much needed offensive pressure without being a liability on defence. This year's busts were some familiar faces, along with a new one, but it was really no surprise that the Senators' "energy line" at the...
Neil To Nashville? No Thanks

Neil To Nashville? No Thanks

February 9th, 2015 The Toronto Maple Leafs are not the only Canadian team the Nashville Predators are in trade talks with prior to the March 2 trade deadline. According to Fox Sports Midwest rinkside reporter Andy Strickland, Nashville is actively pursuing Ottawa Senators forward Chris Neil to toughen up the lineup for the playoffs. No...
Hockey News: Sabres Playing to be Traded; Matt Cooke's Injury

Hockey News: Sabres Playing to be Traded; Matt Cooke's Injury

February 4th, 2015 Dave Nonis on the state of the Maple Leafs.  Ted Nolan motivates his players with hopes of another team trading for them. Getting Tyler Myers will likely be costly. Kyle Okposo has a nasty eye injury. The Islanders brought back the fishstick jerseys. Matt Cooke's season may be over. The Coyotes are bad now,...
Who Will Captain the Ottawa Senators?

Who Will Captain the Ottawa Senators?

September 2nd, 2014 For the second straight year, the Ottawa Senators have parted ways with their captain and are set to name a new one before the season starts. As last year's captain, Jason Spezza wasn't able to handle being under the microscope as well as some thought he would. Spezza was a lightning rod for criticism and was unfairly treated, which led...
