Warning: Most of this blog is more-or-less a rant. -------------------------------------- 3-1-0 without Alfie and Spezza in the line-up. Not too shabby at all Clouston asked his players to step-up in their absence, and apparently Ryan Shannon interpreted the message as "Ryan be a top-six winger...
A little late getting this up, just couldn't seem to get onto HockeyBuzz this morning. Wierd Anyways....... Yesterday Ottawa kicked off 2010 with a big win over the Philadelphia Flyers, lead by Alex Kovalev, Ryan Shannon and Anton Volchenkov. Kovalev's scoring outburst marked his first goal...
This season started off decent enough, Leclaire was playing 'good enough' and then when he went down Elliott looked to have a found a groove eventually, and Mike Brodeur played a hell of a game. So far in 3 games this year (2010) Leclaire/Elliott have allowed 13 goals. The fact we've picked up a...
First and foremost, thank you Alex Burrows for calling out a ref like he did. A ton of people have called him a whiner, but if this involved one of their own players they'd be all over it. More on that below --------------------------------------------- 4 straight losses, no goalies to be fou...
Well Sens fans were treated to somewhat of a surprise today, as goalie coach Eli Wilson was 'relieved' of his duties. In short Eli Wilson was fired today because of the performances of all of the Senators goalies since he was hired. It's hard to argue with results as Emery, Gerber, Auld, Lecla...
Only a few days ago I said this squad had lost all faith in Leclaire and Elliott, and for this team to start winning again, they'd need regain faith in there goalie. I was somewhat wrong, they just needed to call-up Mike Brodeur again, who is now 2-0 for the Sens this season, including the shutou...
Finally, finally Ottawa has figured out Tim Thomas. Today's afternoon game was a long-time coming for the Ottawa Senators. The Sens heading in, were winless in their last 11 against Tim Thomas, but had won their last 2 games, of course with Mike Brodeur in net. Today Ottawa fans were treate...
Nothing washes away the stink of a 5 game losing streak like a 5 game (and counting) winning streak. Tonight was another great game played by the Senators. Their biggest killer this season has now turned into their biggest strength as their goaltending has been unbelievably better thanks to Br...
January 26th, 2009 was the first day I 'officially' blogged as Hockeybuzz's Ottawa Senators blogger. The blog was a full evaluation of the Sens position in the Eastern Conference and the record they would need, in order to make the playoffs. Over the year I had a lot of fun interacting with so...
