Ottawa Senators Legend - Chris Phillips

Ottawa Senators Legend - Chris Phillips

February 18th, 2020 There's something special about a player who spends his entire career with one team. Whereas it used to be a common occurrence - think Mario Lemieux, Jean Beliveau, or Joe Sakic - the salary cap era has made the feat somewhat rarer. Now, franchise players often finish their careers in other markets. It's led to the departure of Daniel...

Chris Phillips, Sens Stalwart Calls it Quits

May 27th, 2016 Chris Phillips announced his retirement yesterday after 17 seasons. Unable to suit up for a single game this year due to a cracked vertebrae, the longest-serving Senator decided to hang up his skates and call it a career. With 1179 games played, Phillips is one game up on longtime captain Daniel Alfredsson (1178) for the franchise lead,...

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...

Is Erik Karlsson Number One in Sens History?

August 31st, 2015 At the tender age of 25, Erik Karlsson has already put himself easily in the conversation for the top defenseman in the Senators' history. But is he the best? Numero uno.

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.

Time for Chris Phillips and Senators to Part Ways

Time for Chris Phillips and Senators to Part Ways

April 29th, 2015 When Daniel Alfredsson was 37-years-old, he lead the Ottawa Senators in scoring with 71 points, despite only playing 70 games that year. Nothing less was expected of Ottawa's longest serving captain; there was never a season in his 18-year career that Alfredsson faced doubt of whether or not he could still keep up with the increasingly...

Senators Stand Pat At Deadline

March 5th, 2015 Playing their best hockey of the season, the Ottawa Senators kept quiet during Monday's NHL Trade Deadline.  After a few minor deals fell through, GM Bryan Murray decided there was no reason to shuffle the lineup as he stood still.  The only deals that were being looked at were to move a couple of players with term in return for draft...

Sell Hard: Top 5 Senators That Need to Go

January 28th, 2015 Today, the Ottawa Senators finally waived Colin Greening. The move should prove to be the first of many that Bryan Murray needs to make in what are likely his last days as a General Manager. That’s right. It’s time for the Ottawa Senators to sell—and sell hard. The last time the Senators were this far out of a playoff...

Who Is the Perfect Partner for Erik Karlsson?

January 26th, 2015 We're only just past the halfway mark of the season (46 games, to be exact), but Erik Karlsson has already had seven different defense partners. It's true, every single defenseman that has stood on the ice for the Senators this season has had a turn with the Norris-winning D man. Marc Methot has been Karlsson's regular partner...

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...
