Happy Anniversary Ottawa
Posted on 11 Oct 2011 by Mika Oehling.
It was the perfect anniversary for the Ottawa Senators. This game had it all: drama, fights, false calls, missed calls, goal reviews, an old-fashioned goal shnozzle, petty revenge, hate and a come from behind victory. What more could you ask for? Alfredsson demonstrated once again why he's the Captain of all Captains by finishing it off in a shoot out victory for Ottawa to win its first game of...

Celebrating 20 years for the Ottawa Senators
Posted on 11 Oct 2011 by Mika Oehling.
While it may feel like there's not much to celebrate in the nation's capital, tonight's season opener for the Ottawa Senators marks an important milestone: 20 years of NHL hockey in the city. That may not sound like much when compared with other franchises in the league, but in consideration of the revolving door of professional sports teams who have walked in and out of the city and the arena'...

Better Late than Never
Posted on 8 Oct 2011 by Mika Oehling.
There's a reason why sports fans watch games until the bitter end- because sometimes that end isn't so bitter. Ottawa came close to making it a happy ending in Toronto as they narrowly lost the game 6-5, with every goal coming in the third and last period. As they say, it's better to come late to the party than never. The first two periods looked like a wash for Ottawa. The team was running sca...

Youth in Action
Posted on 7 Oct 2011 by Mika Oehling.
The new Ottawa Senators have all the marks of youth on them and it's exemplified in their new game style. Their first game of the season against Detroit was fast, energized and aggressive from puck drop. They were definitely the squad that the Red Wings underestimated, with some impressive chances for newcomers Stephane Da Costa, Mika Zibanejad and Colin Greening. But even though they had all o...

The Senators 2011-2012 Preview
Posted on 5 Oct 2011 by Mika Oehling.
The Ottawa Senators will debut their 20th season with little to celebrate and a lot to hope for; a consensus dead last pick in the Eastern conference prediction polls by all the major sports media, very little is expected of this team. The focus is not on wins in Ottawa this year, but on potential for the future in the form of a new coaching staff and rookies full of promise. Of course, it will...

Condra makes the jump to Ottawa
Posted on 7 Jul 2011 by Mika Oehling.
Fans in Ottawa are going to see more of Erik Condra who signed a two year, $1.25 million contract with the Sens. With the talk in Ottawa these days circulating around ‘trimming the fat' and being budget-conscious, it looks like the days of big contractitus might be over. July 1st came and went with Ottawa signing Alex Auld as a back up goaltender, supergoon Konopka and Erik Condra, a call...

Not so Nice In Ottawa
Posted on 5 Jul 2011 by Mika Oehling.
Ottawa is known to be a nice, conservative, polite town, which is why it's a bit of a rude awakening to find out that they've signed on tough guy Konopka to a one year deal. Known as Supergoon by the fans and also for speaking out against Mario Lemieux when he criticized the dangers of head shots, claiming that he wasn't with the times, it seems that Konopka is going to bring his own special br...

A Quiet Day for the Senators
Posted on 1 Jul 2011 by Mika Oehling.
The day isn't over yet, but there's been a lot of activity on the NHL Free Agent Frenzy day, as some squads snap up talent for next season, while others, have remained relatively quiet. It was expected to be a quiet day in Ottawa and that it most certainly was, as the Royal visit of Will and Kate grabbed all the attention. Murray warned that he wasn't going to make the same mistake as he had in...

Posted on 28 Jun 2011 by Mika Oehling.
Now that the draft is done and free agency frenzy is now on, it's time to take stock of the team and hazard a few guesses as to which direction it will take for the next season. What the Senators Have The Senators currently have a total of 10 forwards signed in for next season, 6 defensemen and 1 goaltender. Svatos, Shannon and Lessard are the odd men out for the forwards, while the defense wi...

Murray plays smart at the 2011 NHL Draft
Posted on 24 Jun 2011 by Mika Oehling.
There was only one thing that was going to make up for the disappointment of foregoing a first round draft pick last year in exchange for a trade that has so far not profited the Ottawa Senators; a good showing at this year's draft in Minnesota. And Murray didn't disappoint or make a predictable choice. In fact, he made an unlikely choice which was referred to in my pre-draft blog entry, mostly...

Sens Fill Coaching Gaps
Posted on 23 Jun 2011 by Mika Oehling.
The Ottawa Senators filled their coaching gaps today with the addition of Dave Cameron and Mark Reeds as assistant coaches. Cameron, who was originally thought to be a candidate for the top position, will surely welcome this new opportunity to coach at such a high level. Despite a disappointing end to Canada's rough ride at the WJC, Cameron performed well at the tournament, promoting his ‘...
