Silver Nuggets: Back to the regular season
The all-star game was great for the clubs's fans and the players, but now it is back to the regular season, starting with a game in Boston tomorrow night. This will be Ottawa's sixth consecutive road game, and after winning the first two in Toronto and San Jose, the Senators lost three in a row in...
Open thread - 59th NHL All-Star Game
This afternoon, Team Alfredsson will take on Team Chara in the 59th edition of the NHL All-Star game in Ottawa. After various fan fairs, a draft and a skills competition, it is finally time for the main event. Team Alfredsson will feature all of Daniel Alfredsson's fellow Ottawa Senators...
Silver Nuggets: Is anything wrong with Zack Smith?
On 6 January, we gave out the mid-term report card and Zack Smith was given an A for having 12 goals in 41 games, which is a 24 goal pace. Since then, Zack Smith has 0 goals in the following 11 games and his assist last night was his first point in that span. He's still on pace for 19 goals and 35...
Silver Nuggets: Kyle Turris returns to Phoenix
Kyle Turris will make his return to Phoenix tonight in his first game back since the trade to Ottawa. Turris has stabilised the second line position for Ottawa with 13 points in 18 games, which is already more than Bobby Butler and Kaspars Daugavins. Projected over a full 82-game season, that would...
Silver Nuggets: Senators face easier schedule after the break
The Ottawa Senators will play their last two games before the all-star break tonight in Los Angeles and tomorrow night Kyle Turris will return to Phoenix for the first time. The Senators have gone 2-1 on the current road trip after going 3-0 on a road trip last week. Clearly, this stretch of road...
Senators ups and downs: Week 16
(Ups and downs is a feature that recaps the individual performances of the Ottawa Senators for the last week.)On their long road trip, the Senators' tendency to live dangerously and spot their opponents leads has started to catch up with them, as we knew it would inevitably have to. Ottawa gave up...
No comeback this time: Senators 1, Ducks 2
Stop me if you've heard this one before: Craig Anderson gave his team a chance to win. Unfortunately tonight, the punchline was that they didn't. The Anaheim Ducks were the more opportunistic team in this game, smothering the Senators and stealing the thunder of their style of play of late. Much...
Silver Nuggets: Senators call up Stéphane Da Costa
With Zack Smith and Kaspars Daugavins getting injured in the victory over San Jose last night, the Senators were potentially down a forward even with Andre Petersson waiting. To remedy that situation, they have recalled Stéphane Da Costa from Binghamton today. Da Costa has done very well in...
Silver Nuggets: Murray eyes 'substantial' piece
Remember last week when Bryan Murray wanted to add at the deadline? Well he was speaking of that again yesterday, but now Murray specifies that while the depth is okay, the Senators need to add a substantial piece at the deadline. So what could this piece be? I am assuming a backup goalie, while a...
Silver Nuggets: Nick Foligno should not have received any penalty
Like most Sens fans, seeing Dion Phaneuf airborne after a Nick Foligno had me very, very happy. Then seeing the Maple Leafs captain go all caveman to fight Foligno and then sitting in the penalty box for Ottawa's equaliser was even sweeter. But should Foligno have received a penalty at all? From...
