THE GOOD:Jason Spezza & Dany Heatley. Sometimes the offensive stats aren’t a fair reflection of who was the best player in a hockey game. This wasn’t one of those instances… Read More

THE GOOD:Total domination. While they slipped slightly in the third period (as tends to happen with a six goal lead), I thought this was, all around, the best game the Sens have had in a lo… Read More

THE GOOD:Martin Gerber. He needed this one. More even than a W, Gerber needed a solid performance without any major costly mistakes, and we got that. Though it certainly looked like this wo… Read More

I didn't see last night's Sens-Sabres game. A previous engagement had me out and about, and my attempt to dust off the VCR and record the game (yes, I'm still behind on the PVR bandwagon) di… Read More

Sort of an abbreviated version tonight. Blogger already ate my previous attempt and it's nearly 2am.THE GOOD:A strong third period. For the second consecutive game, the Sens elevated in the… Read More

The Ottawa Senators organization has a new number one rival, it seems. Though, geographically speaking, it was just a walk down the street.There's a strange situation going on over at TSN, a… Read More

THE GOOD:A spirited performance when it mattered most. Now, let me say this: the Sens are still not out of the woods. They’ve dug themselves a lofty hole with their play over the last… Read More
2006-11-14 04:57
THE GOOD:The first period effort from the Sens. Ottawa was all over the Habs in the first frame. Physically, they were dominant, and were generating far more offensive opportunities than th… Read More

Dear Doug MacLean,Do me a solid: take some of those compromising photos of my boss that you clearly have on yours, because I sure would love to be a complete failure and have others, who I h… Read More

Dwayne Klessel posted this bit on his "blog":Shawn Horcoff for Chris Phillips. Would you do it?Not if you are Edmonton in my opinion. All you need to do is look at last year's playoffs and h… Read More

I didn't see tonight's game because I'm too cheap to pay for CentreIce, but just listening to it casually this evening, in between other errands as well as the finale of Lost (what a jip!) f… Read More

First, I have to make a confession. I woke up this morning very disgruntled. Watching the highlights of last night's collapse only frustrated me further. I was far too kind on this team in m… Read More

THE GOOD:Daniel Alfredsson. Scored a goal, registered an assist, was in mid-season form skating wise, and ultimately generated the majority of the chances the team got, it was another solid… Read More

When a team struggles, rumors run rampant. This much is to be expected. In a hockey craze market like this, it's what 24/7 sports talk radio stations and hockey columnists live on.But really… Read More

THE GOOD:Daniel Alfredsson. Yeah, I said it. And those of you who started booing the captain tonight when the team was falling apart before our very eyes in the third need to check your hock… Read More
2006-11-01 05:13
THE GOOD:Yet again, the penalty killing. While the powerplay remains ass (more on that soon, trust me), the penalty killers continue to bail out the Sens when they take thoughtless infractio… Read More
2006-10-29 03:10
THE GOOD:Martin Gerber. Even in defeat, I thought this was the Swiss netminder’s best game of the season. He’s been burned by some poor performances by the team in front of him… Read More
2006-10-27 05:51
THE GOOD:Going hard to the net. Whether it was Dany Heatley or Chris Neil or Patrick Eaves or Chris Kelly, Ottawa forwards didn’t waste any time with the fancy shit, instead rushing r… Read More
2006-10-25 04:48
THE GOOD:The big guns. It started in Saturday night’s blowout victory over the Devils, and thankfully carried over into tonight’s game. In addition to putting up points, both Da… Read More

As if losing both Nikolai Khabibulin and Martin Havlat for at least a couple weeks each wasn't bad enough, the early word is that Michal Handzus will miss the rest of the season after tearin… Read More

I must admit, I was pleasantly surprised to wake up late this afternoon and find out the Philadelphia Flyers had cleaned out, ousting Ken Hitchcock while letting Bob Clarke retain some digni… Read More

No one is more disturbed by the Sens struggles this season than I, but watching the Flyers get bitchslapped by the Sabres 9-1 really puts things in perspective. As discouraging as this seaso… Read More
2006-10-13 04:31
THE GOOD:The quality of the game. Someone who didn't see the match-up might look at the score and assume it was a slow, dull game. It was not. Despite it ending 1-0, it was a mostly exciting… Read More
2006-10-12 12:14
Much has been made about tonight's game between the Sens and the Calgary Flames. A lot of that is due to the long delay between games, however, there is a genuinely large level of discomfort… Read More

If you're one of the poolies who picked Patrick Eaves as a sleeper late pick because he was going to play with Jason Spezza and Dany Heatley, and thus rack up significant points, I've got ba… Read More
