Please Get Erik Karlsson Out Of Ottawa
The Ottawa Senators were a lost cause long before last night, but I think this play from Thursday was the official end, in which Victor Hedman faces only the mildest of resistance as he skates to the net for a goal that would give his Lightning a lead they’d never relinquish. It pretty well summed u...
Alex Burrows Suspended 10 Games For Kneeing Taylor Hall In The Head
Ottawa Senators forward/pest/piece of crap Alexandre Burrows has been suspended for 10 games by the NHL’s Department of Player Safety, and 10 games still feels like he got off kind of easily....
Erik Karlsson Wasn't Ready For Andreas Athanasiou
It took just six seconds for young Red Wing upstart Andreas Athanasiou to get the winning goal in overtime against the Senators Wednesday night. And for that, he can thank the best defenseman in hockey....
Ottawa Senators Radio Announcers Casually Discuss Grindr In Middle Of Game
I don’t have much to add to this. Tonight Ottawa shut out Montreal 3-0 in a centennial celebration game played outdoors in what looked to me like horrifically cold weather at Ottawa’s football stadium, but despite all the pomp and circumstance of the event Senators radio announcers Dean Brown and Go...
Mike Hoffman Skips The Puck Past Jonathan Bernier For A Truly Freakish Goal
I think I’ll be giving Ottawa’s Mike Hoffman way too much credit if I imply in any way that he knew what he was doing here. But even if his goal yesterday against the Colorado Avalanche in Stockholm, Sweden was a complete accident, it’s still something I’ve never seen before....
Erik Karlsson's Quotes About His New Bionic Foot Sound Kind Of Ominous
The Senators’ brand of hockey, a 1-3-1, neutral-zone clogging formation that forces the puck out wide and limits odd-man rushes at both ends of the ice, is aesthetically unappealing, to the point where you find yourself rooting against them in the postseason just so you don’t have to watch them anym...
Pittsburgh Wins Eastern Conference On Chris Kunitz Double-OT Goal<em></em>
There are few things in sports more thrilling than a Stanley Cup Playoff Game 7 overtime game, other than a Stanley Cup Playoff Game 7 double-OT game. And that’s what we got in Pittsburgh tonight, as the Penguins crushed Ottawan hopes and dreams while answering NBC’s prayers when Chris Kunitz took a...
Penguins, Senators Score Back-To-Back Goals 20 Seconds Apart

The Senators Pestered The Shit Out Of Sidney Crosby
Sidney Crosby was the reason Marc Methot lost part of his finger in March, albeit on a routine play, but who needs an airtight reason to pick on Crosby, anyway? As the Ottawa Senators stayed alive with Tuesday’s 2-1 Game 6 win, various players chose to bother the Pittsburgh Penguins’ captain in any ...
Shut Up About Ottawa's Attendance
Ottawa almost sold out Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals....
Craig Anderson Is Why There'll Be A Game 7
Are you sick of hearing this in the postseason?—The better team didn’t win the game last night. It happens all the time throughout the year but generally goes unmentioned, because the regular-season sample size is large enough that those things are generally supposed to work themselves out over time...
This Was The Most Dominant Possession of The Playoffs
The Penguins’ 7-0 destruction of Ottawa in Game 5 was such an ass-kicking that it warranted the Jim Ross treatment, a rare honor for an NHL game. But don’t let the brutality distract from some truly awe-inspiring hockey....
Today's Ottawa-Pittsburgh Highlights, As Called By Wrestling Legend "J.R." Jim Ross
The Penguins took a 3-2 series lead on Ottawa today with a 7-0 obliteration. Here are the highlights of that very exciting game, as called by pro wrestling legend Jim “J.R.” Ross....
Yes, The Senators Are Still Boring
The best way to shut anyone up—the best comeback for literally anything critical anyone is saying about your team—is to score a whole bunch of goals. The Senators, very accurately derided as a “boring” team to watch thanks to their neutral-zone-coagulating defense and a drowsy transition game, explo...
Phil Kessel Yelled A Lot And Scored
Phil Kessel is relatable, which is a nice way of saying that he’s large and goofy. But as with all world-class athletes, we must resist the urge to see too much of our pathetic selves in him. Kessel is, obviously, one of the most talented offensive players in hockey—he’s quietly having a hell of a p...

Ottawa Takes 3-2 Series Lead On Kyle Turris Overtime Goal<em></em>
Jimmy Vesey’s heroics did not hold up as Ottawa tied up the Rangers with 90 seconds remaining in regulation and then scored 6:28 into overtime as Kyle Turris scored his third career playoff OT goal to give the Senators a 5-4 win and a 3-2 series lead....
The Rangers Are Too Much And Too Fast For The "Kanata Wall"
The Senators are not a fast team, or at least that’s not how they want to play. They are a team designed to win close, low-scoring games, and they’ve generally done so with an effective defense designed by coach Guy Boucher to funnel everything to the sides of the ice. But the Rangers are barging st...
In Praise Of A Perfect Helper
The Rangers’s 4-1 pummeling of the Senators in Game 3 was maybe the most expected thing in the world. New York is almost certainly the better team to begin with in this series, and has played like the better team for long stretches of it. Here’s a stat: Still down 2-1 after last night’s win, the Ran...
