  • Peters sticks thumb in Ruutu's mouth; only gets 2 minutes!

    Now I've seen it all... unbelievably, Andrew Peters shoved the thumb of his disgustingly dirty hockey glove right into Jarkko Ruutu's mouth during a post-whistle face washing by the giant goon! Jarkko is clearly seen trying to pull away, but one of his snaggle teeth got hooked and he was lucky not to have a tooth pulled out as Peters' glove came off in the process. Then in an attempt to deflect scrutiny from NHL disciplinary actions, he put on a silly hand waving display and claimed he...

  • Senators slide into Buffalo

    The Ottawa Senators slide into Buffalo with a firm 5 point hold on the #4 lottery draft position. Those are decent odds at landing Tavares or Hedman, and it's early yet.... #1 is within reach! Considering that the 2009 WJHC probably just netted Melnyk what he would from a first round playoff exit from his Ottawa Senators, I wonder how much he really cares if we make the playoffs anyway? In other news, Mike Fisher is clearly ok with Tony Romo's sloppy seconds . It's nice to see that Mike...

  • Poll: Who will watch Battle of Ontario?

    Will anyone be watching the Battle of Ontario tonight with Team Canada and Russia squaring off in a semi-final game at the WJHC? The odds of Ottawa winning this game are virtually nil. They come into this game having won their first road game in 13 tries. Somehow I can't picture them winning back to back road games. I posted a blog a couple of weeks ago about Ottawa's diminishing playoff chances. They were just getting ready hit the road for this 8 game road trip and I stated that they needed...

  • Sens drop to 1-4-1 vs Sixpack

    Ottawa 3 - Calgary 6 I was so looking forward to read/hear Liam's rant after Calgary's 6-3 win over the Senators on Saturday night, but he must still be trying to edit his video clip down to 8 minutes. I managed to catch the last 2 periods of the Senators/Flames game at a bar while I was watching UFC 92. They had the hockey game on 2 TVs with the fight playing on the other 18 screens. When the Sens went up 2-0 in the second period, I was actually looking forward to blogging for a change....

  • Six Pack Rankings: 10th Edition

    1. Calgary (20-11-4) The red-hot Flames became the first member of the Six Pack to reach the 20-win mark this week. Not to mention, they have only lost one game in regulation in their last 10 outings. Don't worry Flames fans, this blogger is aware of your team's Northward move in the standings. Now, can a team other than Montreal hold top spot for consecutive weeks? We'll find out in seven days. 2. Montreal (19-9-6) To the Habs and their great supporters, it's not you, it's the...

  • Senators lose 10th straight road game

    With 27 of our remaining 50 games coming on the road, the Ottawa Senators better find a way to start winning some road games, and fast! The Sens entered the game with only 3 road wins, and left with their 10th consecutive road loss. Yikes! Ottawa got off to a good start when Foligno scored a goal just 5 minutes into the contest, but the rest of the period belonged to Philly as they scored 2 goals on 16 shots to Ottawa's 5. Why is Schubert in the lineup when Lee could be in his place? He cost...

  • Six Pack Rankings: 9th Edition

    With the holidays just around the corner, I examine the Six Pack for the ninth time this season. While the Canucks find a 6-5 Swede under their tree, the Oilers and Sens continue to find coal in their stockings. Here is my latest take on Canada's six teams. 1. Montreal (18-9-5) The Habs capped off another winning week with an OT win over Buffalo Saturday night, and they should keep it going with a home-date versus Carolina on Sunday. Montreal has hit their fair share of rough spots early on,...

  • 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...

  • 26th and falling...

    The Ottawa Senators will head into Saturday night's game against the Dallas Stars holding the 26th best record in the NHL, after falling 5-1 to the New Jersey Devils. Earlier this week, Eugene Melnyk predicted a top 4 finish in the Eastern conference. He's right on the money if you start counting from the bottom. At this pace, we won't need to make a major trade to get a good pick in a deep draft. We'll be a lock for the lottery if something doesn't change soon. All I want for...

  • Sens sink to new low

    We had to lose in black sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to be against the lowly Thrashers. The only highlight I can think of is the Ruutu-Slater fight. Slater did land a few good punches, but give Ruutu the bout. Oh, and Neiler laid a massive hit on Little. Just a good clean hit. I'm a little dissapointed that Neil wouldn't go with Boulton, but his fist might still be a little sore from his fight the other night when he missed a punch and hit the glass instead of his opponent's...

  • Six Pack Rankings: 8th Edition

    After a two-week hiatus, the Six Pack Rankings are back for the eighth time this season. Have a look at where your team sits after a third of the NHL season has passed us by. Don't agree with me? As always, leave your comments, compliments, criticisms and insightful "feedback." Enjoy. 1. Montreal (16-8-5) Saturday's loss to the Capitals was a heart-breaker, but you are going to have those over the course of an 82-game NHL season, no matter how good you are. After their torrid start...

  • Sens beat lowly Lightning

    I think there might be 1 or 2 Senators players breathing a sigh of relief after pulling off a 2-0 shutout against the basement dwellers of the NHL. I think Murray is probably already working on something and just waiting to get the best possible return, but if Ottawa had lost to the Lightning it might have forced him to take what he could get, which at this point would probably be less than fair market value. I thought for sure that the Senators would be back in black on home ice, but they opted...

  • Sens blanked by Blackhawks

    A perfect example of why you don't want to load up your top 3 players on one line. This would be a good preview of the playoffs should we ever climb into the mix. Shutdown our top line, and it's 2 points in the bank for the opponent. Gerber lets in one fluky goal and Ottawa squanders countless powerplays for a 2-0 shutout loss to the surging Blackhawks. Fisher had 1/3 of our team's shots on net and Huet gets his first shutout as a Blackhawk. The only good thing about that is I have him...

  • Do Sens fans really want Sundin?

    Apparently Melnyk and Murray are going to make one final pitch to Sundin's camp according to reports in Monday's papers. Personally I don't see how we could land him even if we wanted to if Vancouver's 2 year - 20 million is still on the table. We currently have just under $3.5 million available for this season under the cap. Pro-rate that over approximately 118 days (if we signed him next week) and the most we could offer him is in the $5.5 million range for this season. Money might...

  • 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...
