Snoop Dogg confirms he's part of a Sens ownership group; We discuss the excellence of Mark Borowiecki, who retired this week; Jake Sanderson is not a finalist for the Calder Trophy; Leafs fans are being shut out of buying tickets to the games Games 3 and 4, which Warnsy loves... naturally.

In this one, we talk about the Sens' Biggest Off-Season Storyline? And Will Thomas Chabot Reclaim His Role as Sens Number One Defenceman? Is Alex DeBrincat part of the future or not? The free goalie market is thin. nd the Sens are heading to Sweden for two games next season...if that a good idea?

Drake Batherson joins us one last time this season to talk about the year that was and the summer ahead. The off-season won't include a trip to the Worlds but it will include much more training time with Sidney Crosby. We talk about a lot of the Sens misfortunes this season, including injuries and inconsistent goaltending, but it certainly wasn't all bad. They had some phenomenally good br...

Sens GM Pierre Dorion holds his season-ending press conference. His excitement for head coach D.J. Smith isn't quite where it was, saying he will re-evaluate everything over the next little while. Dorion cuts Cam Tablot loose and isn't sure who the second goalie will be after Anton Forsberg, or where he'll come from.

The Ottawa Senators' season officially ends with a 4-3 overtime loss in Buffalo. But it was a great night for former Senator Craig Anderson who wins his final game in the league and gets a nice send-off from his old team. The Sens have their final media availability Friday morning. As expected, Nick Holden is informed he will not be re-signed by the club. Alex DeBrincat will get a qualifying offer...

The Senators leave on a high, winning their final home game of the season 3-2 over Carolina. Claude Giroux was not only in on all the scoring, but he hits 1000 career points on Fan Appreciation Night; Derick Brassard is nominated for the Masterton Trophy; Pierre Dorion says that Alex DeBrincat will be receiving a qualifying offer. And the Sens get ready for their finale Thursday in Buffalo.

The Sens get 58 shots on Florida and somehow lose 7-2. That officially eliminates them from the playoffs for a sixth straight season. D.J. Smith got ejected in that game...is that a sign of things to come? In our poll, fans want changes in goaltending and coaching but can't seem to decide which is more important. It's clear that Smith is done with Cam Talbot, and after Talbot got benched s...

The Sens Drop Two on the Weekend versus Toronto and ugh Columbus; Sens goaltending has been sketchy lately so Leevi Meralainen gets a chance...Is Jake Sanderson likely to be a Calder Trophy nominee? And it's impossible Sens trivia.

In this one, we discuss Thursday's wild, emotional win over Philadelphia. The game had it all. Skill, momentum swings, fights, hits and general nastiness. We talk about the Alex DeBrincat Fight; the Brassard and Hamonic injuries, Tyler Kleven's NHL Debut; and another visit from Ryan Reynolds and how his role with a new ownership group, if it happens, might be more hands-on than we think.

Gary Bettman makes the rounds in Ottawa Monday. We'll talk about what he had to say. The Sens are playing spoiler, taking down Florida 5-2 and Brady's better. Cam Talbot is looking for $5 million to stay. Knowing the inexperience level of the other goalies, Would you pay it? The injury prone Senators continue to be injury prone. Ridly Greig is out for the rest of season with a sternum inju...

Sens shock the Lightning 7-2. Ottawa tries to keep its playoff hopes alive in New Jersey tonight. They will need to finish 8 and 2 at a minimum to have any hope. Updates on the injury to Jacob Chychrun and Parker Kelly is gone for the year with a broken knee cap. Is The Rock part of the Sens ownership hopefuls?

The Sens get back on track, going 1-1-1, against Toronto, Pittsburgh and Boston. Unfortunately, the playoff hopes are now gone. Dylan Ferguson gets his first NHL win and then, like most Sens goalies, has a health issue. Ferguson comes down with a non-COVID ailment and misses the Boston game. The latest on ownership, Tyler Kleven's status and former Sens' second rounder Jonny Tychonick sign...

We get into the Colorado game and the terrible officiating, particularly on what turned out to be the game winning goal. We get set for the Leafs and the Battle of Ontario. Matt Murray is starting against his old team...at least he's scheduled to be. You never quite know what with guy. With the playoffs such a long shot, will the Sens begin to give opportunities to some Belleville guys? We als...

The Sens start their biggest road trip of the year with a 1-3 record, getting blasted in Chicago, Vancouver and Calgary. The Power play has given up as many goals against as it's scored. And assuming he wants to be here, how much term and money should the Sens give Alex DeBrincat?

Pleased to be joined by Bruce Garrioch. We talk about making a playoff push with two rookie goalies; what Jakob Chychrun has added to Ottawa's lineup, what will Ottawa’s starting 6 defence will look like this fall? The ongoing concerns about Thomas Chabot’s play. And some discussion on how the ownership bidding is likelly to go.

We discuss Jakob Chychrun's dream home debut Saturday night, then Monday night, the 5 game win streak comes crashing down with a blowout in the Windy City. What the heck happened? Not only did they lose a crucial two points to a team in full rebuild but they became the victim of Chicago's biggest beatdown all season.

Sens Win in New York Jakob Chychrun's Debut; Derick Brassard Scores Two in his 1000th

With less than 48 hours until the NHL trade deadline, the two sides finally made a deal, with the Coyotes sending Chychrun to Ottawa. We talk about every angle of the trade and we also get into two pretty amazing performances ag...

Nikita Zaitsev is traded. Is that part one or is that the entire play? Daniel Alfredsson says he would like a job with the new Senators regime, a meaningful one. The sale of the Senators is going to be delayed for a bit. The Senators quest for defencemen is not a unique one. Even Boston was out there looking and they just landed Dmitry Orlov. Pierre Lebrun says the Sens not in on Jakob Chychrun. A...

We're joined by Sens winger Drake Batherson in this one. We discuss why the Sens have improved in the past month. We get into Drake's individual game, some new linemates.

The Sens return from their long mid-season vacation and prep for the Oilers We chatted with Parker Kelly after practice Friday and tried to figure out a new nickname for him. We discuss the 4 most interesting Sens free agents and what might happen at the deadline. We recall how attending NHL games in the 1980s had very little in the way of distractions. Has Ridly Greig played his last game in Bell...

We discuss the mysterious firing of Belleville head coach Troy Mann. The Senators hit the all star vacation with a 4 game win streak. The Sens are 4 and 0 with Ridly Greig in the lineup but they send him down to Belleville. Have the Sens turned the corner or is it another mirage. We're a little skeptical. Since the NHL all star game today isn't very good, we look back at some of our favourite all...
