Well Ottawa seems to be getting in their stride of late. On the 10th the Sens welcomed the Atlanta Thrashers and came out 4-2 winners. Mike Fisher had a goal and an assist. Alexie Kovalev, Chris Neil & Jarko Ruutu also scored and goalie Brian Elliot made 27 saves.

Two days later however, the Pittsburgh Penguins came calling and handed us a 4-1 defeat. Milan Michalek got his first Ottawa goal to open the scoring 15:59 in. Pascal Leclaire made 24 saves as the Senators (3-2-0) ended a three-game winning streak. On the 15th, Michalek registered his first three-goal game in the NHL, including a pair of shorthanded tallies, to spark Ottawa to a 7-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning at Scotiabank Place.

Kovalev, Alexandre Picard, Nick Foligno and Ruutu also scored for the first-place Senators (4-2-0), who leaped back over the idle Buffalo Sabres in the Northeast Division. Goalie Leclaire had a relatively easy night, facing just 17 shots and stopping 16 of them. The highlight of that game is shown below. And just last night, Kovalev scored a goal and had an assist against the team he had played for from 2004-09 – the Montreal Canadiens. The Sens scored a goal in each period to win 31, with Neil & Daniel Alfredsson scoring the other two.

Superstar youngster John Tavares’s first NHL game in Canada was last night at Ottawa. But it was it was a less-heralded rookie suiting up for the Senators who played the starring role. Defenceman Matt Carkner, in just his fifth NHL game despite being drafted 10 years ago, scored his first goal and added an assist, being named the No. 1 star in the Senators’ 3-2 overtime victory over the Islanders on Thursday.

Mike Fisher & Peter Regin scored the other two goals, with the former’s being the overtime winner, which was setup by Carkner. The 28-year-old Carkner, a second-round pick of Montreal in 1999 who cracked the Senators’ roster out of training camp. Pascal Leclaire came up with 23 saves in goal. After losing their season opener, the Senators have now picked up back-to-back victories and, including last season when they kicked off the season in Sweden, improved to 9-4-3-1 in home openers.

From now, I’m going to be go back to my regular schedule of blogging about Sens games after every 4 or 5 being played. Here’s hoping for a wonderful season. Go Sens Go!

The Ottawa Senators got their first win of the 2009-10 season in Toronto, led by 26 saves from goalie Pascal Leclaire, as they beat the Maple Leafs 2-1 — the first win for Leclaire in a Senators uniform.

There was plenty of hype around the decision by Toronto coach Ron Wilson to start goalie Jonas “The Monster” Gustavasson, but Daniel Alfredsson, on a penalty shot, and Shean Donovan scored for the Senators. After their 5-2 loss away to New York, Ottawa were much more tight in defence.

The Senators were awarded a penalty shot after winger Milan Michalek was high-sticked and taken into the boards by Toronto defenceman Luke Schenn at 7:22 of the second period. Michalek, who was cut, needed medical attention as he lay on the ice, but did return to the game. After two games on the road, the Sens play their first home game against the New York Islanders later tonight.

Their season opener, played out at Madison Square Garden didn’t end up that good for the Ottawa Senators. The New York Rangers beat the Sens 5-2 with Brandon Dubinsky scoring two goals. Marian Gaborik scored for a second straight game, a goal that padded the Rangers lead to 4-1. The Rangers rebounded from a 3-2 loss in Pittsburgh on Friday night in their opener with the rare home win over the Senators, 16-4-1 in their previous 21 visits to Madison Square Garden.

Daniel Alfreddson and Peter Regin scored in the Senators’ season opener. Pascal Leclaire, making his first start since undergoing ankle surgery last December, made 29 saves in his Ottawa debut. Leclaire was solid in the first period, despite NY having 3 power plays to Ottawa’s none. On to game two.

With the start of the new season upon us and Ottawa in particular looking to put back last year’s bismal showing and missing the playoffs, it’s time for a fresh start. When the puck drops on their season opener on Saturday (3rd Oct) against the New York Rangers, hopefully the new faces & old guard will be able to rise to the occassion and put behind the drama that surrounded Dany Heatley’s long drawn trade to San Jose.

?????????? ????? ?????? ???2

Senators Coach Cory Clouston confirmed that there would no more moves and that the roster is set. So we see newcomer Milan Michalek join Daniel Alfredsson & Jason Spezza on the top line, while Alexie Kovalev will skate with Mike Fisher & youngster Peter Regin. Nick Foligno, Ryan Shannon and Cheechoo will make up the third unit, while Jarkko Ruutu, Chris Kelly and Chris Neil will skate on the fourth line, with Shean Donovan as the extra forward.

Chris Phillips and Anton Volchenkov, the team’s No. 1 defence pairing, will be counted on to shut down opponents’ top lines. Chris Campoli, Filip Kuba, Alex Picard and newcomer Erik Karlsson are more finesse style, puck moving defencemen. Defenceman/winger Matt Carkner is also around for his toughness.

The season opener is on October 3 (against the New York Rangers) but GM Bryan Murray isn’t done tinkering with his squad. Most of the reason is due to the long drawn out drama concerning Dany Heatley’s request for a trade and his final movement to the San Jose Sharks.

Murray could have decisions to make on defencemen Christoph Schubert and Alex Picard. Centre Chris Kelly has to step it up. Prospects Peter Regin, Erik Karlsson and Matt Carkner are pushing for jobs, but our GM can’t afford to keep everybody and stay under the $56.7-million (all terms US) salary cap. Senators D Jared Cowen, Ottawa’s top pick in June’s draft, suited up against the Bolts and was returned to Spokane of the WHL following the game.

If Murray is selling or trading, the current free agents I would like to have on the team are Darryl Sydor (d), Michael Peca (c) & Manny Malhotra (c). These could be valuable assets if we’re fighting for playoff spots or well into the playoffs.

Disgruntled star left winger Dany Heatley finally got what he wanted. The two time 50 goal scorer got his trade and a move from the Ottawa Senators to San Jose.

The Sharks have shipped forwards Jonathan Cheechoo and Milan Michalek and a second-round 2010 pick for Heatley along with a fifth-round pick in 2010. The deal has been talked and thrashed about all summer during which San Jose along with only Edmonton were the only really serious options that came along.

Essentially the deal offers a new start to both Heatley and Cheechoo, whose goal-scoring has diminished in recent season. Mostly, however, it removes a black cloud about the Senators’ organization. Heatley has stated that he wanted out because of reduced ice time and a perceived diminished role with the club. He did say he had been unhappy in Ottawa dating back to last season, and that he’s happy to move on.

I hope that the two forwards that we have got in return will prove to be a good trade and contribute offensively. Personally I was hoping that we would get center Patrick Marleau, who’s future at San Jose isn’t finalized yet and he may yet be traded.

Just got this news in – Jason Smith has announced his retirement from the NHL. The 35 year old defenceman was on the 2nd year of a 2 year contract with the Ottawa Senators worth $2.6 million a year.

Jason has had a productive NHL career in which he captained two different teams and played 1,008 regular season games for five clubs. He compiled 41 goals and 128 assists along with 1,099 penalty minutes.

He was originally a first-round draft pick of the New Jersey Devils (18th overall) in the 1992 draft, and also played for Toronto, Edmonton, and Philadelphia. He served as captain of the Oilers for five seasons, and also captained the Flyers during his lone season with them in 2007-08. Smith, whose 2008-09 season with the Senators was cut short by a knee injury, didn’t feel he still had it in him to play the game the only way he knows how.

I didn’t see this coming but it looks like a good deal for some slick offense and could get us 20+ goals a season. Ottawa Senators general manager, Bryan Murray, gave the slick Russian winger a US$10-million, two-year deal Monday, believing Kovalev will bring a dimension to his team that was sorely lacking last season. A 16-year NHL veteran, Kovalev spent the past six seasons with the Canadiens and in 78 games last season he led the team with 26 goals and 65 points.

Prior to Montreal, Kovalev spent time with the New York Rangers, helping them win the Stanley Cup in 1994, and the Pittsburgh Penguins. Kovalev is the top-six forward Murray was looking to acquire and despite a rally of about 100 people outside the Bell Centre on Sunday begging the Habs to keep Kovalev, the Senators were able to make the deal.

A knee injury & operation forced him into rehab back in February and was probably the reason why Ottawa was able to pick him at 9. Had he had a fit full season, Jared would have been picked earlier. Possibly by Phoenix at #6. But they didn’t and hence the Senators got their chance at a top rated defenceman.

While one volatile former goalie finds a new NHL team after sitting out the previous season without a team, another player (and a corner stone at that) wants to leave the Ottawa Senators.

download blood work Tough times indeed when a star player wants to leave your team. Last week, Dany Heatley, a two-time 50-goal scorer, sent a letter through his agents informing the Senators that he wants to be traded. The reason stated is that he has has huge differences with coach Cory Clouston, who replaced Craig Hartsburg in February. Heatley has five years and $37.5 million US left on a no-trade deal he signed two years ago.

Meanwhile, former Sens goalie Ray Emery was snapped up by the Philadelphia Flyers. The one-year deal worth a reported US$1.5 million will see Emery re-enter the National Hockey League following a one-year stint in Russia’s Continental Hockey League.

There will be no playoffs for the Ottawa Senators. After 77 games we are at 33 wins, 34 loses & 10 OTs for a grant total of 76 points. Only 76! We scored 203 goals while giving up 222 goals – and therein lies the problem!

download the cook the thief his wife her lover dvd The reason why the Sens won’t make the playoffs this season is that we got less secondary scores. Plus our defence was shaky and we did not have consistent goaltending. Auld, Elliot & Gerber were the 3 goalies at our displosal when the season began, with Elliot playing for the B Sens. Just before the deadline we traded Antoine Vermette (who is settling well and scoring, I must say, for the Bluejackets) to Columbus for goalie Pascal Leclaire. Leclaire is injured and has so far not played for the Sens but the hope is that he will feature as the starter for the next season.

Is Leclaire the steady goalie that we have been looking for? Although I think he will be a better fit than Gerber, I don’t think that we are going to win the Stanley Cup with him between the pipes. Auld is a steady backup and Elliot has charmed many fans with his excellent form but both goalies will not be as consistent as needed to win the Cup.

If only we had this same form throughout this season; the Ottawa Senators are looking like a team set to beat everyone at the bottom end of the season. On March 17th Brendan Bell scored twice and Filip Kuba had three assists for the Senators, giving him 31 on the season, as Ottawa beat Buffalo 4-2. Dany Heatley scored his 33rd goal and Daniel Alfredsson had the other goal.

Two nights later, it was the turn of the slumping Montreal Canadiens to come to Ottawa and they were treated to a pair of goals scored 52 seconds apart late in the first period by Jason Spezza. Alfredsson added a goal and an assist in the Ottawa Senators’ 5-4 victory over the Canadiens on Thursday night. Nick Foligno and Jarkko Ruutu also scored for Ottawa, which has won three in a row and seven of eight. Brian Elliott stopped 28 shots and set an Ottawa rookie record with his seventh straight victory.

On Saturday the New York Islanders came calling and lost 2-5 @ Ottawa. Chris Neil, Filip Kuba, Mike Fisher, Heatley and Nick Foligno scored goals to help the Senators win their seventh straight home game. Elliott made 20 saves and Alfredsson and Bell had three assists each for Ottawa. Immediately after that, the Sens had to travel to New York and face the Rangers.

Ryan Shannon snapped a third-period tie and Alex Auld made 28 saves in a rare start to lead the Senators to a 2-1 victory over the playoff-hopeful New York Rangers on Sunday night. The Sens rebounded from an early 1-0 deficit, behind goals by Mike Comrie and Shannon, as they started a six-game road trip with their ninth win in 10 games (9-1) and fifth straight.

The late-season surge is most likely too late to get the Senators back into the Eastern Conference playoff chase. Ottawa (32-30-10) is in 11th place, three spots and seven points behind Montreal and the playoff cutoff with 10 games to play.

Let’s take a look at how the Senators have been doing since my last update. First game was on the 9th of March against our hated rivals Toronto, who have had the better of us this season. But not on this night – Daniel Alfredsson and Dany Heatley scored second-period goals, leading the Ottawa Senators to a 2-1 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday night. Brian Elliott made 25 saves in his third straight start for Ottawa, which won all of those games.

Veteran Maple Leafs goalis Curtis Joseph, who stopped 24 shots, became the sixth goalie in league history to allow 2,500 goals on Alfredsson’s score, an unassisted effort in the second period that tied it at 1.

Two nights later the Sens beat the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning came in overtime thanks to Mike Fisher who scored off a rebound at 2:38 of overtime to give Ottawa its fourth straight win. Brian Elliott made 22 saves for his fourth victory in a row and Ryan Shannon and Chris Kelly scored in regulation. The Senators were 5-2-1 on the homestand.

Christoph Schubert had the other goal for the Sens. And just last night the Senators visited Pittsburgh and won 4-3 after a shootout over the Penguins, with Mike Comrie scoring the shootout winner.. Chris Campoli, Nick Foligno and Chris Phillips scored in regulation for Ottawa, which trailed 3-1 with eight minutes left but improved to 11-6-3 under interim coach Cory Clouston.

Let’s see where the Senators stand at the 63 game mark – wins (25), loses (29), overtime (10), goals for (157), goals against (179) for a total of 60 points. The problem lies in the goals against section – it’s a clear indication of why we aren’t in the thick of the playoff action for the first time since 1996. More goals would have got us more wins.

Last night the Sens beat the Buffalo Sabres 6-3 in a game in which Daniel Alfredsson – Ottawa’s career leader in goals, assists, points and games – got his 350th goal when he opened the scoring on a power play 4:44 into the game. Nick Foligno had 2 goals, Chris Campoli & Chris Kelly had a goal each, while Alfredsson scored one more.

February had ended on a sour note as we lost in overtime to the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-4. Ryan Shannon, Jarkko Ruutu and Alfredsson scored for the Senators. And just two days before that we welcomed the San Jose Sharks, who beat us 2-1. Mike Fisher had the lone Ottawa Goal, while Alex Auld made 22 saves.

As predicted but not as worse as expected, Antoine Vermette was the sole Senators to be traded by GM Bryan Murray. The Sens dealt Vermette to the Columbus Blue Jackets this morning for goalie Pascal Leclaire and a second-round draft pick. The deal for Leclaire is seen as a move to try and find a No. 1 goaltender for a team that has had its share of struggles in net over the years.

Vermette, 26, has underperformed this season, with just nine goals and 28 points in 62 games. His strength is as a faceoff specialist, but the Senators felt they needed more out of the speedy centre for the $2.5 million he is being paid. Vermette is fifth in the NHL winning more than 58% of his draws.

I’m going to miss Vermette. But I do hope that Leclaire will fulfill his potential and be a top goalie in the NHL. We’re not going to the playoffs anyway, so he can use the remaining games to settle in.

As the trade deadline approaches, Ottawa has to deal with a few of it’s players probably not remaining as a Senator once the fog clears. Chris Neil isn’t any closer to staying with the Senators. Neil’s Toronto-based agent Todd Reynolds met with Ottawa GM Bryan Murray yesterday at Scotiabank Place but neither side has budged from its position. Neil is still seeking $2.5 million per-season and the Senators last offer was $1.6 million. If no deal is made, he will likely be moved before the 3 p.m. today.

Winger Antoine Vermette is also facing a cloudy future. The word is the Chicago Blackhawks are making a hard pitch along with the Columbus Blue Jackets. Filip Kuba may also be looked at as a potential trade.
