If I didn’t know any better, I would say the Senators are so hot right now that you might find planets orbiting around them.   After securing their 9th victory in a row on Saturday night against the Montreal Canadiens, there’s a nervous tension engulfing Canada’s Capital.  Part of that tension is from knowing that the team will lose a game eventually and come back down to Earth; part is from... 

With the trade deadline looming, questions are being raised as to whether or not Senators’ defenseman Anton Volchenkov will still be around at the end of the season.  While Sens GM Bryan Murray has expressly stated that he would like to try and keep the hulking Russian, surprisingly little has come in the way of discussions, which has left fans in the Nation’s Capital resting uneasy. On... 

Following an embarrassing 5-2 defeat to the Washington Capitals, the Ottawa Senators must really be starting to question the integrity of their goaltending and whether Pascal LeClaire will ever come to form.  In a battle with the Southeast Division leading Capitals, where Milan Michalek was lost to injury early, LeClaire put forth one of the single worst goaltending performances in Senators history... 

There are two things that any followers of the Ottawa Senators will agree on regarding defense: Zdeno Chara should’ve been signed over Wade Redden and if all goes to plan, the Senators will have a strong defensive lineup for years to come. The first proves that hindsight is always 20/20 and the second point creates some questions for General Manager Bryan Murray to solve in the near future. The... 

The 23rd of December could go down as the night the Senators 2009-10 season was ruined. The 8-2 loss to Pittsburgh was a stinger, but the loss of Captain Daniel Alfredsson may end up being the nail in the coffin. After a Craig Adams hit early in the 1st period the collective breath of all Senators was held and perhaps still holding as we still do not know the extent of the injury. The Senators for... 

“We’re going to have to be more of a team than ever…We’re going to have to have guys step up and play with structure. It’s a great opportunity for some guys.” These were the words echoed by Senators’ Coach Cory Clouston after revealing that his 1st line center Jason Spezza would be out for 2 months with a torn MCL in his knee.  With 34 seconds left and the Sens trailing the... 

Step aside Wade Redden, step aside Ray Emery and step aside Jason Spezza…there’s a new whipping boy in Ottawa this year and his name is Alexei Kovalev.  In Montreal they once called him “L’Artiste”, in Ottawa the praise is not quite as lavish.  While drafting this article I thought to myself, if only I could manufacture an Alexei Kovalev Voodoo Bobblehead, something... 

Daniel Alfredsson may not be retiring this year but the lifeblood of the Ottawa Senators is nearing the dusk of his playing career. Nobody has given more dedication, energy, or consistency to the Senators organization which begs the question: what will become of his team when he hangs up his skates for good? Better yet, what have the one-time Stanley Cup finalists done to prepare for the forthcoming...
