Welcome to the sens army HQ. This thread is for Ottawa hockey lovers and sinners everywhere to debate, praise, and suggest changes to the team we know and love.

To start this off, who should be between the pipes come playoff time, assuming the stats don't change too much come springtime?

O-Town Hockey

I think we have to go with Ray Emery. He has shown us nothing but solid play (and a couple injuries) since his entrance into the league. That's more than can be said for Gerber, who has had a few major stretches of mediocrity. Nonetheless, Gerber played well last night and it's gonna be a tough decision in the end. I don't think it matters who starts. The Sens seem to play amazing as long as they have confidence in their goalie.

It's way too early to make this call.

That said, we absolutely should NOT go back to Emery 'just because'. Gerber is playing extremely well and in doing so has earned back the #1 position. He has stolen the job from Emery and now it's his job to lose (or perhaps it is Emery's to win back).

Either way, this is a very good problem to have. Two goaltenders who are playing well (Emery only played once but performed well in that game), each of them fighting for the #1 job.

I say don't change a thing. Let the goalies answer this question for us.

I agree, Emery needs to earn his way back to first string in my opinion.

BTW what's up with the schedule? Specifically why does it suck? 2 games in thirteen days... I'm having difficulty sleeping at night and losing weight.

I hear you, it's killing me. I was working in Niagara Falls for the last month and only got 2 Sens games, both against the Leafs. Now, I come home, and they're never playing.....and when they are, it's not on TV. Now I might have to resort to doing something productive. :(

Should be an interesting game against the struggling Thrashers tonight. You can't discount talent like Hossa and Kovalchuk, but the Sens better put them to bed tonight. Atlanta have no D and Montreal should have burried them the other night. Instead, they took the night off. We won't make the same mistake.

Whoa that was too close. Last night was a great reason why if I had to trade one goalie it would be Emery. But hey, two points is two points. I can't help but miss Hossa every time he takes to the ice...

O-Town Hockey

11-02-2007, 03:58 PM

I wonder if they will trade Emery?? You know who's gonna pick him up don't you? The Leafs. It would be a shame if we had to face our old #1 8 times a season. I need to see a few more games on TV to get an idea if Gerber is the real deal this season. On a different note, what's with John Paddock's shirt/tie combination last night? He really needs a stylist or something, that was awful.

Jamaican-Phoenix

11-02-2007, 04:01 PM

Why are people suddenly talking about trading Emery?!

Good God people, the man helped lead us through the playoffs when Hasek pulled his groin, and he was just the backup at that point! He also helped get us to the Stanley Cup Finals last season.

He's had wrist surgery, and has only played 2 AHL games and now 2 NHL games.

Now there's already trade talks amongst the fans?! Good God, talk about ruthless... :rolleyes:

Now there's already trade talks amongst the fans?! Good God, talk about ruthless...

I like Emery, but 2 of the 4 goals last night went right through him. I'm not jumping on the trade bandwagon yet, but he better sharpen up after a few games. We're gonna have to make a decision eventually.

Jamaican-Phoenix

11-02-2007, 04:45 PM

We're gonna have to make a decision eventually.

Yeah, but that decision doesn't have to be trade talks! :rolleyes:

Yeah, but that decision doesn't have to be trade talks! :rolleyes:

I get your point, but we can't afford to pay two multi-million dollar goalie salaries. We have Spezza's contract to deal with this year, another player who it is rumoured that Toronto is eyeing.

ajldub

11-02-2007, 06:05 PM

Agreed Otown. Having two cadillac goalies takes up a lot of cap room. I don't think keeping them both on the payroll at current wages is sustainable in the long run - don't get me wrong, I'd love to see them both stay...

Maybe he wasn't actually hurt last night but, instead, deep in the throngs of contract negotiation. Good for him and the Sens though. This team is looking like a dynasty waiting to happen. Sens vs. Wings in the final this year! If that was the case last year, we would have won the cup; the Ducks were a bad match for our team.

Another solid effort by the boys tonight. A little sloppy in their own end but we can't expect to be completely dominant every game. They don't ask you how you got the points at the end of the season do they?...

Hello all,

I have a question, on which channel do you Sens fans watch your games, do the Sens have their own specialty channel, or does the Ottawa region have a local sports chanel like NESN? I was wondering because last night I noticed RDS was covering the game but TSN was covering Raptors basketball? :koko:

thanks guys!

Last nights game was on rogers sportsnet, the thurday games are on the Achannel...I prefer Dean Brown as the commentator as opposed to the CBC's Bob Cole

Just for reference, here's a link the Sens Broadcast Schedule directly from the Ottawa Senators website: http://senators.nhl.com/team/app?service=page&page=TeamSchedule

Bad game last night. Not the greatest effort and the bounces were definately not going our way. Hopefully, we fare better on Saturday against the habs.

O-Town Hockey

11-12-2007, 04:32 AM

Best game of the year by far on Saturday! Great effort by both teams. The Sens couldn't buy a good bounce in the first 54 minutes then things just started happening for them. I can't wait to meet the Habs in the Conference semis this year (my prediction). Go Sens!

I am a big Patrick Eaves fan and I hate to see him go, but I like this trade. Those are two really great character verterans who will bring a lot to this team's fragile psyche. Now we have two D-lines each with a solid stay-at-home presence (Phillips and Commodore) and two forward lines with at least two scorers (the big line and Fisher/Stillman). Now if only Emery could start playing like he did last season and we will be unstoppable.

Montreal and Ottawa in the conference final would be one for the ages. The first Ottawa-Montreal game earlier in the season was the most exciting one I've seen all year. Two very good teams with top notch talent. One can hope.

Mille Sabords

02-28-2008, 03:53 PM

Well the Paddock firing had to happen. Hopefully we can work the new players into the fold and turn things around between now and playoffs...

At this point I'm hoping we fall back to 6th place in the conference and face someone like Carolina in the first round. I wouldn't want to go up against Philly or some other hungry team with nothing to lose, in the state we're in right now. We need a first round we can win with talent first because that's what we have.

I'll say it again, Bryan Murray has a problem of his own. He should've stepped in as the GM and resolved the goalie situation two months ago. Pick one and trade the other. He could've made a good trade with Gerber in December-January, and stuck with Emery to go to the playoffs. One of the two was the outsider and it wasn't Emery. I explain a lot of his antics to a very understandable bad mood about being treated as a backup after taking the team to the final. It doesn't excuse his sour grapes but then again what message is the team sending, signing him to a big contract then treating him as they did.

OK team, we seem to be having some serious issues lately; likely related to the lack of fan support here on SSP. Is anyone else starting to really worry that the Sens will miss the playoffs?

O-Town Hockey

04-03-2008, 01:54 AM

I've got to give it to the Habs, they are playing great and with a whole lot of confidence....it reminds me of another Eastern Conference Canadian team last year and the one before.

Sens baffled by late season collapse
The Ottawa Senators are once again turning to a win-and-you're-in policy to try and salvage their season. Former coach John Paddock instituted that line of thinking to sort out the team's uneven goaltending performance before he was fired in February.

(from TSN.ca)

Looks like they're now realizing that they can't continue to play that ogre (Gerber). Emery is the better goalie regardless of all the crap he caused in the dressingroom. We need to get rid of both and start with a fresh face in net next season in my opinion.

Cre47

04-03-2008, 03:32 AM

Well some good and bad news. The good, Philly and Boston lost (although Boston has one point). While, Ottawa is tumbling, I think Philly might be the team that will miss the playoffs as they have games against Pittsburgh and New Jersey, but Ottawa would simplify its cause with at least one win and preferably tomorrow.

Bad news is that Carolina won tying the Sens, while the Devils also won, meaning we cannot finish higher then 5th in the conference.

Cre47

04-04-2008, 03:16 AM

Sens landed a public beating tonight on the Leafs tonight winning 8-2, however a playoff spot in not officially clinched as Washington won again. It would only need a lost by either Carolina, Philadelphia, Boston or Washington or a regulation tie against Boston and the playoff spot is secured.

O-Town Hockey

04-04-2008, 06:02 AM

While the injuries are a big blow indeed, I'm very happy to see the boys pick up the intensity tonight. I know it was against a terrible team missing their captain, but solid team effort nonetheless. Now let's get that 1 needed point tomorrow night!

Mille Sabords

04-04-2008, 01:32 PM

I BELIEVE. You just never know... The Sens have played poorly without their big names in the past but with so much on the line, a game against the bruins without Alfie and Fish might just turn the crank that one extra notch. Notice yesterday that several of the non-marquee players showed up... Verm with a hat trick, Cody Bass, Dean McAmmond...

11 in a row baby...... yeah!!

ajldub

04-04-2008, 01:41 PM

The injuries don't sound too bad. I REALLY hope we take on Montreal in the first round, these cities are too close together not to get a rivalry going. And it's no fun beating the Leafs anymore...

theman23

04-04-2008, 06:27 PM

You say that as if the Senators regularly beat the Leafs. This was their first win against them in 5 tries.

I've forgot something but Alfredsson left the game thanks to a cheap shot by a Leaf player, the second time he's been injured via a cheap shot this season. Fisher was also injured in the game.
Alfreddson shouldn't have kept his head down. It was a perfectly clean hit, and a great one too. Any Senators player would have tried to do the same.

Everybody beats the leafs. That's why they aren't in the playoffs. That's why it's no fun watching them play anymore. That's why Ottawa needs a rivalry with a real central Canadian team. One with a little spine.

theman23

04-04-2008, 09:14 PM

An elbow to the head is clean?

It wasn't an elbow to the head. It was a shoulder hit. The replay clearly shows that Bell's elbow didn't even go up until after Alfreddson was falling back. Also, the only reason it made contact with the head was because Alfreddson had his head down.

theman23,
Everybody beats the leafs.

Except, for 4 out of the last 5 times they've met, the Senators.

Cre47

04-05-2008, 01:43 AM

Well Bell may be marked man next year, since he also delivered the knee on Fisher and tripped Redden into the boards. I didn't only Bell did all the damage but it seems yes.

Carolina is down 4-2 after 40 minutes. A lost by the Hurricanes and the Sens are officially in the playoffs.

Edit:Florida just defeated Carolina 4-3, so Ottawa is officially in the playoffs as it was the Hurricanes last game and they have two points less then the Senators.

O-Town Hockey

04-08-2008, 05:41 PM

I'm lovin' the underdog status. I think we have a serious chance to win this series if we pick a defensive system and stick to it. With the Pens D, there is no question that we will get our chances so we just have to be patient. Not to mention that we are already in Fleury's head before the series even starts.

I bought tickets for next Wednesday in that 400-level restaurant/box called "The Ledge Carvery". I've sat there a few times and it's great for week night games as they feed you before and during the game so you don't have to worry about long waits at a restaurant or having to eat a giant pretzel for dinner.

O-Town Hockey

That was an awful effort last night. All I can do is hope that the Sens will come out strong tomorrow night and show some of that heart that we saw last Spring (although much of that heart is sitting in the press box injured (Alfie and Fisher)). Gotta keep the faith though, Go Sens Go!

Mille Sabords

04-12-2008, 02:59 AM

What a heartbreaker tonight!!! But an awesome effort by the boys to tie the game in the 3rd. Gerber parted the red sea with his 50+ saves. I'm still predicting Ottawa in 6.

bradnixon

04-12-2008, 05:02 AM

Dear Refs,

Thanks for bailing us out of one that Ottawa almost stole from us. Not only did we not have to kill that penalty we deserved, you bought our acting and gave us a PP to ice the game. We'll get you better TV ratings than Ottawa for sure.

Sincerely,

Jamaican-Phoenix

04-12-2008, 06:03 AM

Anyways, it's cleanup time for this team

One more game to see if we can spark some life into those guys, but the chemistry is just not there anymore. I'm very interested to see what they management do in the off-season. My votes for players to go would be: Emery, Gerber, Meszaros, Richardson (retire), and Stillman. There are plenty of good goaltenders going on the market this summer so there is no reason to keep these two that the players (and the fans) obviously have no confidence in. I don't care how well Gerber played last game, it just needs to happen.

Do or die time tonight. Please don't parade that Sens Army guy out again.

I'll be at the game tonight and I'm cringing at the thought of that idiot coming out to centre ice again. Who planned that? Didn't anyone tell them how corny it was going to be? Anyway, I'm prepared to bid my team farewell for the season tonight, but I hope they can put together one win....just to make things interesting. :(

It's always sad to see the Sens lose but I was prepared for this for quite a while. Alfredsson was clearly not 100% and hopefully the team will come back stronger after a summer to heal all the reported and unreported injuries. What we clearly need is some more team speed, both on defence and at the forward positions. Also, someone needs to spend the summer teaching Spezza and Heatley how to better maintain puck possession and how to battle for the puck along the boards. If they could improve in those areas, they will become that much more dangerous offensive players.

Can somebody give 401 king a buck so he can get a coffee or something? It seems another Torontonian loser is looking for something to do since following pro sports in that town is still a totally demoralizing experience...

Go back to your own smoggy forum ya jerkoff.

rough guys, rough. Apparently the locker room division as pretty nasty, expect major changes next season, and can someone please banish Brian Murray for Ottawa, I blame him for destroying Emery instead of trying to help him, Sens can't go anywhere with Gerber, he's proven that, although he's good, he's no Emery.

Raptors starting the playoffs soon, 401. You excited? I don't think they'll do too well, but it should be fun to watch. Maybe if we stop wasting playing time on Bargani. I'm more interested in the Blue Jays though-if they stay healthy and Burnett finally gives us the year he was supposed to give us, they'll go far.

Well it's time for Emery to pack his bags and :gtfo2: of Ottawa. Since the start of his antics, the club went south. I think a couple of players should be let go, hard to tell if Redden would be one of them or perhaps Mezaros or Chris Neil. I don't know if Pat Burns is fully recovered from his colon cancer but would it be fit to have him as a coach or perhaps Bob Hartley or Benoit Groulx from the Piques.

The only thing positive from this season is that Toronto missed the playoffs and that there cupless-season streak is now at 41.

If the Raptors were playing the western division, they would have not been even close of making the playoffs, just to show you how the West is incredibly stronger then the East in the NBA

Well, the boys are certainly getting back on track over the last 5-6 games. Not highlight reel goals against the Pens today, but it's about time we start getting some bounces. What do you guys think about the new third jerseys? I don't mind them, but much prefer my red one.

I like the white one the best out of the current three.

For me the red one is a classic. The white one is OK but I've never owned a white jersey in all my years as an income-earner with disposable moolah to indulge in these things. As for the new third... meh. It's ok, but nothing more. It's definitely not a run-out-and-buy-it, as the new red one with the O patch was.

In the lead-up to the unveiling, they had another design that used the retro "O" with the 1920's barberpole around it, on a black jersey. I hope they adopt that one some day - THAT was a run-out-and-get-it.

I completely agree about the retro jersey. I also like the white ones, but I decided on red as I don't want to wash mine too many times and the white one is just asking me to spill nacho cheese all over it.
