  • Alfie injured; Sens battle back to win in OT

    Well that was quite the game to watch, once they ironed out the audio and video technical difficulties. There's no better way to get your first goal for a team then the game winner in overtime! Almost 70 hits were thrown in the game, with 42 coming from Ottawa. Of course there was the questionable non-call on Lehtinen's hit from behind on Alfie. It was borderline, but I think that penalty gets called 8 times out of 10. Alfie might have hurt a knee going in to the boards. If Alfie misses any...

  • Senators win season series over Penguins

    The win in black streak continues with a solid 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins this afternoon. The Senators are now 4-0 in their new black jerseys and mustaches. Jason Spezza with the natural hat trick for Ottawa in the second frame would provide all of the scoring that Ottawa would need to win the game. Alfie scared us all when he left the game after blocking a shot, but was back on the ice a few shifts later after the sting subsided. Sidney Crosby scored a beauty off Staal's stick...

  • Sens lose in shootout against officials

    Oops, I meant to say the Habs. The Sens lose their 6th straight game, and their second consecutive shootout loss in a game that should never have made it past regulation. Ottawa had another goal called back, and this one was an absolute joke. A penalty was called on Kovalev and Ottawa scored on the delayed call, but the referee called a phantom posession by Montreal and called back the goal. Where's the call from Toronto on that!? The Senators improved their league worst shootout percentage to...

  • Churning the rumour mill

    According to The Fourth Period , Canucks General Manager Mike Gillis attended the Senators/Rangers game last night in New York. At first this did feel like anything to be alarmed about, Vancouver is currently on a four-game road trip that had them on Long Island Monday night before hitting the Big Apple on Wednesday, so it's not like Gillis was there while the team was on a homestand. Then I clued in that Ottawa has been trying to pry Mattias Ohlund away from Vancouver for a few weeks now, albeit...

  • Spezza bumped to second line

    I don't understand what the big deal is about this move, but the press is all over it in Ottawa. Every other time the Pizza line gets broken up, it always seems to be Alfie dropping to the second line to help produce some secondary scoring. This time it's Spezza dropping down... big deal. Nice to see Hartsburg has the cohones to split up Heatley and Spezza. But it's not like Jason will see much less ice time. I'm sure he'll still get all kinds of PP time and it wouldn't be...

  • Game 4: Coyotes 3 - Sens 6

    Free pizza for everyone! Are they even doing that promotion this year? If so, Pizza Pizza is out 20,179 slices after a 6 goal performance by the Sens. So many positives in this game: Alfie returns a week early after having a bone chip removed from his knee and sets up 2 goals in the first period. Spezza shuts up his critics with a 4 point night (2g,2a). Heatley scored his 4th goal in 4 games. Kuba picked up his 5th and 6th assists. Gerber gets his first win of the season. Volchenkov scored his first...

  • Sens drop opener in OT

    Game 1 is in the books and it's probably one that Spezza would have liked to remember instead of trying to forget it. After scoring a shorthanded marker to give Ottawa a 3-2 lead heading into the third frame, Spezza was well on his way to being named a star of the game. In fact he was announced as the game's second star until his dangle on the offensive blue line led to a turnover and the game winner by Kennedy. After the commercial they came back and said they had made a mistake and that...
