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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

The Ottawa Senators will host Ilya Kovalchuk and the Atlanta Thrashers tonight at Scotiabank Place. The Thrashers are coming off a loss to the Habs last night, while the Senators have been idle since their 3rd consecutive loss to the Islanders on Saturday night. The only positive coming into this game...

1. Montreal (13-6-4) After being out of the top spot for one measly week, the Habs reclaim their rightful spot as the top team in Canada. They hit a bit of a bump in the road, and still aren't completely out of the woods, but a big win over the champs and a character win last night over Buffalo will...

CBC.... you suck! Thank you so much for "featuring" the Ottawa game with your 3 updates throughout the night. The only thing that's going to keep me from losing it will be a Flyers comeback... scores! Flyers are within 1 with 2:30 to play in the second. Now I need to find a radio so I can...

Finally a great game in the Battle of Ontario. It was looking like Toskala was going to win the game by himself. The game stats will show that the game was pretty even, but Toskala turned away several great scoring chances by the Ottawa Senators. 50+ hits in the game... and mostly clean. The Senators...

Colby Armstrong strikes again... his latest victim is Jason Blake who took a high hit from Armstrong and suffered a concussion. Coach Ron Wilson called up tough guy Andre Deveaux from the Marlies to fill Blake's void in the lineup. I don't know much about Deveaux other than he has 57 pims in...
