A week weeks back, I mentioned in a thread that the Sens did not appear to be motiviated for some games. Someone disagreed with me. I don't think one can disagree any further. They are being beaten by teams that may not even make the playoffs (agreed, they beat Pittsburg who is a good AHL team at...

Well, that was quick. Can't believe how the Ducks steamrolled the Sens after the Sens b-slapped the east. However, next season is the closest it has ever been for this fan so time to start thinking about what to do next year. What do you think would help get the Sens over that last hurdle to the...

Just wondering what everyone thinks of this tax break issue. If Dalton goes ahead with his plan, do you really think the Sens would be in jeopardy of leaving town?

In general the future does look good for the Sens. Yes they got smoked by the Pens but looking at the glass half full you can say every playoff game is good experience for the youngsters and the 3 year plan looks to be on track. The Pens are simply a loaded for bear team and are rolling. The Sens...

http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Hockey/NHL/Ottawa/2007/08/14/4416991-sun.html interesting news.

FYI, the 1:00 pm game in Boston is available in the Ottawa region for free on SensTV on the Sens' website. There is no local TV coverage for this game. Something to do while at work....

Personally I think it's a great move on their part. Lalime has shown in the past that when the pressure mounts, he looses his cool. Hasek is a proven winner and over the past 10 years has been one of the top three goaltenders in the league. What do you all think?

In watching the game on Saturday I came to the conclusion that the defensive play of the Sens needs much, much work (brilliant deduction huh?). The defense looked like it was standing still against Boston especially when the Bruins forwards were able to pass at our blueline and skate by the D to...

what do people think? Love? Hate? Indifferent? http://senators.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=MediaGalleryPlayer&galleryId=2208 I don't mind them but a bit plain though. Still not crazy about that logo though.

With the Sens lurking very close to the bottom of the league standings I'm wondering what you all see as their next move. Do you envision a minor trade? A Major Trade? Do you see Hartsburg being fired or perhaps even Murray? What do you think is going to happen? Please provide as much...

How do I find out about the Sens practises which open to public? (not shown on their website). Going to visit Golftown, thought we swing by the sportplex.

Man, I am afraid of the extremely fagile confidence level of the Sens, last night ahead 5-0 and they almost blow it. :biting: This is the 3rd time I have seen them do this type of collapse going back to last year and I wonder what the hell a coach could do to stop this downward spiral when it is...

I was looking at the Sens schedule for the season, why does Ottawa get stuck with so many games starting in the afternoons on weekends, and the Leafs I believe have one game, besides the Jan 1, 2014 game outdoors. I believe Montreal has 7 games. I believe Ottawa has 15 or 16 games that start...

I believe this is a good thing, based on what he has shown since his arrival. Time will tell if he is one of those "pros" whose game falls off once they have financial security.

Sens and Emery agree to a deal just minutes before entering arbitration.. Deal is 3 yrs 9.5 million.. Glad to see the deal done!

What do you think of this signing ? The Ottawa Senators have signed defenceman Luke Richardson to a one-year, two-way contract.

Anybody buy sens tickets yet? A friend and I bought half season tickets each and split them. Works out to 11 games and I have to seats for my wife and I, I bought the GM power seats and you get the same seats all year which is nice. Prices were pretty good if you don't mind the 300 level. I...

The Sens Underground's episode 25 is now available for download. www.sensunderground.com.

Sens Underground has released it's first summer podcast. Listen here: www.sensunderground.com

Here's hoping they hang on tonight. :wallbash :wallbash :wallbash (wanted to use a few of those typographical characters but am no longer allowed to do so!) :meditate:

Decent game last night. Nice to see the boys rebound after a disappointing weekend. I was wondering what other people thought of the Fisher (I believe it was him) hit on the goalie? I do feel that protecting the goalie is important, however he was out challenging the shooter and got run over....

I know its petty to complain about a team that is 19-4-0, but is it just me or do the Sens either play amazing or horrible!! All of their loses have been because they have played just horrible. None of their 4 losses have been when they played great and still lost. It just seems that when they...

Anyone know of any tv coverage or online streaming of the pre-season game tonight? It's on Leafs TV but that's blocked in the Ottawa region.

Penguins 4 - 1. not my desired outcome, just being a realist.

Good thing the Bruins probably won't make the playoffs. The Sens just can't seem to beat them. Sens took them to a shootout tonight, but probably didn't deserve to. I guess a point is better than none. But the Sens have to beat these weaker teams in the Eastern Conference. Definately not confidence...

I'm looking forward to going at the game on Saturday March the 6th, however, I don't have my tickets yet. I know single game tickets are going on sale this saturday, but are there going to be any good seats left? From what I've seen there were packages for that game available months ago. Should...

in fact, they will only get past round one if they are lucky. Too much pressure. Time for them to get the golf clubs out. Habs on the other hand?

Didn't get a chance to see the game. Checked the boxscore on nhl.com, and there were a tonne of penalties in the third. Can anyone tell me what happened - the explanations on nhl.com and tsn.ca are pretty sparse, probably as they're trying to discourage fighting and such. Thanks in advance.

Playoffs trash talk. Will the sens be true to their reputation of best before? 1st round,2nd round,conference final or all the way?

Well, now that Steve Downie has "worked" his way into the Flyers lineup, Sens fans are counting the days until the new Broadstreet Bullies come back to town, and Public Enemy #1 gets to taste the Sens' wrath. Simple question, do the Flyers put Downey in the lineup that night, or do they send him...

How bad it must be to be a leafs fan. They are now gonna be 7 points back of the Habs for 8th place. Undoubtably they played their best game in some time, especially against the Sens, and they still lose, what's that say??? Who knew that the leafs would be the only Canadian team to miss the...

One down, 3 more to go. Although the Sharks were not dominate in this game after the first period they got the job done. The winning PP goal was a beauty by Matte Carle. A perfect pass from behind the net by Joe Thornton. :thumbsup I thought Mike Grier was one of the Sharks better players in...

:thumbsdow http://www.canada.com/vancouverisland/nanaimo/story.html?id=2a01f814-60bf-49c8-a2fa-bdf6247f1212 I am sure most of you have heard or read the story about the Shawville kid being 'banned' from the regionals.:mecry Here is another point of view. First these little rinky dinky places...

I was really impressed with Murray's shootout strategy tonight. He went with Vermette, McAmmond, Fisher, the players who had been working hard. He rewarded hard work, and sent a message to starts that they need to start playing like stars - no glory if they don't work for it. So, my question...

The guy won't live another 10 years. Should he have his name erased from the record book?

Does anyone know which restaurants offer a shuttle service to and from Sens Games? I know a few establishments that used to do this sort of thing Broadways, Locals, etc. but now I'm not certain. I saw this on the Senators website: https://www.nhl.com/senators/fans/sens-army-headquarters ...

The suspension is pending a league hearing. Nice hatchet job on Hollweg last night. What a tool. :rolleyes

Have you ever seen a team so poor in offensive zone creativity? On the rush probably not a better team in the league. But man oh man do they hurt when they have to set up in the offensive zone. Spezza loves trying to go cross ice from the half boards or just dump it into the middle. They were 0/8...

JESENICE, Slovenia -- Six Slovenian ice hockey players who beat up their American coach after winning a league title were released by the team Thursday. Mike Posma, a former American Hockey League player who took over as coach last year, was beaten up by his players Saturday following Acroni...

Who are you picking to win the Superbowl this year?????

I know that the word "surreal" gets used a lot, especially lately (Alfie, about a million times in the last 24 hours :-)), but it's a pretty surreal feeling to actually live in the town where there's at worst a 1-in-2 chance that the Stanley Cup will come in no more than 3 weeks time. As many...

I'm starting this new thread here because I believe that OG members are qualified & may provide more valuable insights here. Here's my contention the soccer ball (Jabulani) used in 2010 World Cup is the Deciding factor. Why? My next question is that should golf balls be standardised & uniformly...

I need to take 9 forwards, it can be anyone so far I have F-Ilya Kovalchuk F-Jarome Iginla F-Rick Nash F-Marian Hossa F-Jaromir Jagr F-Pavel Datsyuk

Did anyone here see the Souray-McCarty fight from last night? McCarty got cut really bad over the right eye and when I watched the replay, it looked very much like Souray intentionally hit McCarty with that hard brace he wears on his left forearm. Specifically, he hit him with the leading edge of...
