The rumours with the Chicago Blackhawks are back on the front burner this weekend. The Hawks have some serious cap issues right now and the Senators might be willing to take a player of their hands. Word is the Senators have interest in defenceman Cam Barker. Ottawa would apparently send Ryan Shannon and Alex Picard to the Windy City in return. I would think draft picks would have to be involved as...

Devastating blow for Shean Donovan and the Ottawa Senators. The results of the MRI are in and showed MCL damage as well as possible ACL damage. As first reported by Brent Wallace, Donovan will miss at least 6-8 weeks. After that time he'll test out the knee and see if there is any further damage. The good news, if there is any, is that surgery is not required. Donovan has done a great job on the Senators...

Ottawa Senators fans will get their first look at what could have been tonight when the Edmonton Oilers visit the Senators at Scotiabank Place tonight. The off season blockbuster that very nearly sent Dany Heatley to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for Dustin Penner, Andrew Cogliano and Ladislav Smid was vetoed by Dany Heatley and his no trade clause. Even to this day, there are those in the Senators...

Brodeur and Leclaire will start...

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....

It looks as though rookie Peter Regin will be ready to go tomorrow when the Senators host the Nashville Predators. Regin has played well early this season and deserves a spot in the line up even with the Senators playing well in his absence. Question is, who comes out of the line up? At this point it looks as though either Shean Donovan or Ryan Shannon will be scratched. If Shannon does stay in the...

On a night where Mike Fisher scored the overtime winner it was an unlikely hero that won over the fans at Scotiabank Place. Matt Carkner picked up a goal, his first in the NHL, and added an assist on the Regin goal on his way to a first star performance. While some of the big guns struggle to find their games early on in the season the Senators again found a way to win a game that appeared to be getting...
