Balsillie Buys the Penguins!

by alec on October 4, 2006

Blockbuster news!  While watching the season opener, Ottawa Sens vs Toronto Maple Leafs, TSN announces that RIM founder Jim Balsillie is the new owner of the Pittsburgh Penguins.  Wow!  Speculation: will he keep the team in Pittsburgh, or are they coming to Southern Ontario (Hamilton, or Kitchener?).  And can Southern Ontario support a third NHL franchise alongside Buffalo and Toronto?

Game 2: Sabres 2, Sens 1

May 8, 2006

That was a heartbreaker.  There was no score in the first, and third, but Buffalo went up 2 to 1 in the second.  Ryan Miller took an amazing 44 shots, letting just one in.  Ray Emery had a comparatively easier time of it, with just 17 shots on goal.  The Sens played hard tonight, but [...]

The Bandwagon Line Forms to the Right

May 7, 2006

I think it’s tough to be a Maple Leafs, or a Habs fan at the moment, and be out of the playoffs. Increasingly, they’re joining the Sens bandwagon.  After all, what are you going to do?  Quit watching hockey for the rest of the season?  Nah! This week one of our developers, Noam, finally broke down and got some Sens-wear.  And, [...]

Teamwork and Leadership

December 31, 2005

We went to the Ottawa Senators vs  the NY Islanders last night at the Corel Center.  The Senators came back from being down 3-1 to win the game 4-3.  It was a remarkable display of teamwork, made all the more so by team Captain Daniel Alfredsson.  In the middle of the second period he took [...]

Sens Trample Kings

December 3, 2005

The Sens redeemed themselves with a 5-1 win over the LA Kings last night.  Go Sens Go!  Brandon Bochenski, called up from Binghampton to replace Martin Havlat, took advantage of the opportunity to strut his stuff with one goal and an assist.   Hashek, true to form, had a spectacular, but unorthodox game.  With the game [...]

Sens 5 Canes 3

November 22, 2005

The Sens redeemed themselves tonight.  It was an away game in Carolina, and although they came close to disaster several times, they pulled it off.  The final goal, in the last 0.9 seconds of the game, was an empty netter by Peter Schaefer.  Victory was all the more poignant because of Chris Neil’s absence.  He [...]

Canes 2, Sens 1

November 16, 2005

You can bet every team in the league will be watching the tape of last night’s game between Carolina and Ottawa.  Despite outshooting the Canes 35 to 17, the Sens were dealt a 2-1 loss.  Carolina has beaten them twice now, and seems to be the only team  only team in the league to have solved the Senators.  [...]

Tampa 2, Ottawa 4

November 4, 2005

That was a hard fought game.  The Lightning kept the Sens on their feet the whole night.  Alfredsson was amazing.  At one point, during a 5 on 3, he grabbed a loose puck for a one-handed breakaway, weaving in and out of the Tampa Bay defense all the way down to the net and then roared [...]

Buffalo vs. Ottawa

November 2, 2005

Heatley 2, Alfredsson 4, Havlat 4.  It was pretty one sided.  The Sens just dismantled the Buffalo defence putting goal after goal past Biron.  Tomorrow it will be Tampa Bay in Ottawa.  Hopefully the Sens have something left for that game, because the Lightning are going to be a much tougher team than the Sabres.
