A Beautiful Season
Posted on 27 Apr 2012 by Mika Oehling.
The end of the season for the Ottawa Senators felt like the end of a long, meaningful relationship. It was the kind of bittersweet ending from a series of circumstances which left us asking what could have been and if only. Completely unexpectedly, the team for which nobody in the league had any real expectations, emerged as a true contender. It was a Cinderella story with an abrupt ending. The...

Team A-Son
Posted on 26 Apr 2012 by Mika Oehling.
There never has been a lucky seven for Ottawa and that record still stands as Ottawa lost their final game of the 2011-2012 season against the New York Rangers in a tense 2-1 game. A heartbreaking loss made all the worse by only two things: 1) the fact that Ottawa couldn't buy a goal against Lundqvist despite charging the New York zone for what felt like the entire third period and 2) the fac...

The Stars Finally Come Out
Posted on 24 Apr 2012 by Matt Preston.
I will not say, “He’s arrived!” I will not even say this was his “coming out party.” It was but one game. One goal. Not nearly a big enough sample size to anoint anyone anything. I will say this, however: Tyler Seguin picked a really good time to show up in these playoffs. When the Boston Bruins woke up Sunday morning, they were but 60 minutes of hockey from a pre-mature end to their ...

Try Justice
Posted on 24 Apr 2012 by Mika Oehling.
The NHL has a discipline system in place, but what they really need is a justice system. With more and more life-threatening and career-ending injuries, the NHL has to move beyond its one man system of self-regulated policing and put a committee in its place. It will be costly, controversial and complicated, but then again, so is justice. The NHL justice committee should be mandated to look...

War of Attrition On
Posted on 23 Apr 2012 by Mika Oehling.
They say that the NHL playoffs are a war of attrition and it's become one between the Ottawa Senators and the New York Rangers. Every little mistake counts for ten, every little turnover becomes critical and every save is a huge save. Chances now don't count for anything, only goals do. The New York Rangers bested Ottawa 3-2 in an edge-of-your-seat, scream-your-lungs-out-in-frustration hair pul...

Posted on 23 Apr 2012 by Eric Cooney.
The Los Angeles Kings, seen as serious underdogs in their first round match up against the President's Trophy winner Vancouver Canucks, managed to topple the Goliath in just 5 games. I want to just point out a few things that helped the Kings to their first series win in 11 years. (more…)

On to the Next One
Posted on 23 Apr 2012 by Tommy Garner.
For the first time since 2002 the St. Louis Blues have won a playoff series. Defeating the San Jose Sharks in 5 games. What a long road it has been since their last playoff series win. Just ask Barrett Jackman who is the only remaining Blue from that era. This is a great time to be a Blues fan who just a few years ago was watching the Blues finish in the cellar of the NHL standings. Drafting we...

A Crown For Andy
Posted on 21 Apr 2012 by Mika Oehling.
Craig Anderson's shut out win against the New York Rangers may qualify him for hockey royalty status against the King himself, Henrik Lundqvist. The Ottawa Senators took the Rangers down 2-0, giving them a 3-2 lead in the series and a chance for the 8th seed to take out the 1st seed on Monday night and punch their ticket to the second round of the 2012 Stanley Cup playoffs. Jason Spezza finally...

The Long Pause…
Posted on 20 Apr 2012 by Eric Cooney.
Waiting sucks. A lot. That's what every fan, Canucks and Kings alike, are enduring right now. A full 4 days in between games (from puck drop to puck drop). So while we wait and marinate for the next game in Vancouver, here are some random thoughts based entirely in my own head and not necessarily backed by any facts or stats. (more…)

A Family Affair
Posted on 18 Apr 2012 by Mika Oehling.
The Ottawa Senators have used the slogan of Family to inspire them in the post-season and it emphasizes not just the strong ties to the Ottawa community or the camaraderie in the locker room, but the fact that they need to be a real team to win. Ottawa needs everyone; they need goaltending from Andy, they need their stars, they need their D-men to step up and get involved on both ends of the ic...

The Benoit Pouliot Experiment
Posted on 18 Apr 2012 by Matt Preston.
In case there have not been enough comparisons to last season already this playoffs, allow for one more. On April 18, 2011, the Boston Bruins traveled to Montreal for Game 3 of their Eastern Conference Quarterfinals Series with the Canadiens. With the Bruins leading the game 2-0 in the waning seconds of the first period, then Canadiens forward Benoit Pouliot throws a marginally late, high hit o...
