Efforts like that seem to be pretty much the norm when this team plays out West. Not sure what it is but the Senators always struggle on their trips to the Left Coast. Obviously this wasn't the Senators best effort and while I could sit here and point out the negatives I'll leave that to you guys. I thought Jonathan Cheechoo played his best game as a Senator. He scored a goal and drew three penalties...

Jamie McGinn, Ryane Clowe and Manny Malhotra also scored for San Jose, while Joe Thornton had two assists...

It may not be a visit to Ottawa but tonight's head to head match up with Dany Heatley and the San Jose Sharks is as close as Ottawa fans will get this year. Had Chris Neil been in the line up I would've expected him to take a run at Dany at some point but that's not gonna happen. Here's hoping Volchenkov can catch Heatley with his head down at the blue line. I know these guys are all professionals...

The Senators were able to escape with an important two points tonight in what was a terribly sloppy game against the Oilers. Ottawa took the lead in the third period only to see Brule score on a weak goal to tie things up at 3-3 late in the third. The Senators were sloppy throughout the final frame but were in a position to win the game after a hard work goal by Chris Neil. It was definitely a goal...

With the Edmonton Oilers visiting Scotiabank Place last night, it seems a fine time to tell a good ol’ fish story and lament the one that got away. When legend Dany Heatley went sideways last spring, Sens GM Bryan Murray went fishing for offers. He hooked onto a good one in Edmonton, a deal quickly vetoed by Legend. The Sens would have received Dustin Penner, Andrew Cogliano and Ladislav Smid....

The NHLPA is in a shambles. The NHL is using this weakness to launch an attack on the NHLPA, as the NHLPA is not in a position to defend itself well. This summer, Dany Heatley, then an Ottawa Senator, demanded a trade. Heatley then declined to be traded to the Edmonton Oilers, as he had a no movement clause in his contract. This allowed him to deny any trades (despite the fact he requested one). Ottawa...

I've always hated any statement that begins with, "If the season were to end today..." The season doesn’t end today. It’s a flawed premise which makes it a flawed statement. So any person using that statement is a complete idiot. That being said…IF THE SEASON WERE TO END TODAY, THE SENS WOULD BE IN THE PLAYOFFS!!!! Right. We're 11 games in. Too early for parade planning....

Back up Brian Elliott will make his second start of the season tonight when the Senators host the Boston Bruins at Scotiabank Place. Pascal Leclaire has been battling a little bit of a flu the past couple days and was not on the ice for the morning skate. That being said, Clouston did say Elliott would start one of the two games this week so I guess this makes sense. Elliott's only other start this...

from Chris Stevenson of the Ottawa Sun, In past years, four assists in seven games for Spezza would have pretty much indicated a disaster for the Senators, given their reliance on him, captain Daniel Alfredsson and former winger Dany Heatley, who supplied the offence on a top-heavy group of forwards. The offence is now spread out, giving Spezza time to adjust to some significant role changes. After...

With Dany Heatley’s hot start, I’m already hearing complaints from some Sens’ fans that Ottawa should have held on to him. Former Sharks Milan Michalek and Jonathan Cheechoo are being counted on to help fill the offensive void Legend created with his demands and “diminished role” blather. The Sens’ new duo has three points after positively erupting for 2 on their...

The Penguins and the Ottawa Senators renewed acquaintances from playoffs past tonight. While sniper Dany Heatley has departed (finallly, many said) to San Jose, they signed former Penguin Alex Kovalev, along with trade returnees Jonathan Cheechoo and Milan Michalek. After a ‘07 playoff defeat in five games, the ‘08 Penguins swept the Sens in the first round. And after 60 minutes of play,...
