Sens Callups - Ottawa Senators Podcast

This all came as a surprise today as our captain, the face of the franchise, and our all time point leader has left to go for a "better" chance for the cup in Detroit.  We pout, cry and get through this special episode and try to make sense of Alfie becoming a RedWing.  We share in our frustrations with your e-mails.  We'll be back shortly with our summer episode and hopefully in better spirits.

Although the season comes to a disappointing end and much sooner than we hoped, we look over the season and some impact players.  We get a submission for a game recap from Todd Van Allen (follow his podcast at CATPPodcast)  - Sens (too little) at Pens (too many) Looking around the league we see who’s still standing and different UFAs both in players and coaches. We read up on the final e-mails to the show and give you some insight as to how you can start your own contributions.Thank you all for participating and listening in.  We’ve had a great inaugural year and look forward to Season Two! (WOO HOO – enter Blur).  As always, follow us on twitter, e-mail us at [email protected] and stay in touch in the forums.Have a great summer and see you after Free Agency!  ONE MORE YEAR!

The Sens find a very formidable opponent in... THE REFS.  Pittsburgh brings it to the Sens in a couple bad games.  By not knowing what would be a good hit and physicality to bring, Ottawa is on the brink of elimination. - Round 2, Game 2:  Sens 3 at Pens 4  - Round 2, Game 3:  Pens 1 at Sens 2 (2OT)  - Round 2, Game 4:  Pens 7 at Sens 3 We got some fantastic game submissions and recaps from listeners, review some player impressions, see what's happening around the league and review some other award nominees, and read some e-mails.

WOW!  A double overtime win calls for another emergency episode.  Kardinal is gone fishin' so we call up our good old friend Puddle Duck to help us out.  We talk about the atmosphere and excitement of the first win of the series.  We’ll be back soon with our full episode.  Until then, we look forward to hearing from you.

It’s a short week after covering a full series last episode.  We review the one game and feel a little down afterwards, but there are lots of positives to work with for future success. - Sens 1 @ Pens 4 Luckily we get some news around the league to talk about Mr. Torres being called in with Shanahan yet again, look at the Award Nominees and the other series left in play.  Canuck gets a little excited with the sound board and we look at the week ahead.  Plus, it wouldn’t be proper to not talk about the Leafs absolute collapse in the last minutes of their Game 7.

Wow!  What a series!  That was a shocking level of domination which went much better than expected. - Sens 4 @ Habs 2  - Sens 1 @ Habs 3  - Habs 1 @ Sens 6  - Habs 2 @ Sens 3  - Sens 6 @ Habs 1 We review the games and look at who really stood out in the series, look at some other match ups around the league while impatiently waiting for the second round. PAGEAUUUU, PAGEAU PAGEAU PAGEAU!!!!

Another exciting win, so another bonus episode!  We talk about the atmosphere in the game and the peskiness of the Sens with a come from behind, three unanswered goal overtime win!  A couple e-mails float in and we call up Marlee from New Brunswick who made the trek down.  #HabBurgler

Welcome to the Playoffs!  We get so excited about them that the game recaps leave a lot to be desired. - Sens 2 @ Caps 1  - Flyers 2 @ Sens 1  - Sens 4 @ Bruins 2 Looking back, this was definitely a season with ups and downs, significant players getting hurt and timely returns to action.  Just to get the blood boiling, we call up a long time forum contributor, TJ Lincoln!  We talk more about the great state of California, and look at the Sharks in a bit of detail while going down the long awaited answer to why the stadium is so friggin’ far away!  We go through the first round match ups and bring back the Sens Underground Playoff Drinking Game!We finish off with a couple more e-mails.  GO SENS GO!Follow this link to Pledge for Sens Money on the Board

That was a Pesky game!  We get together for an emergency episode and talk about the 4-2 Game 1 win.  Lots happened in this game, so why not talk about it?

It’s been a miserable week on the ice however things seem to fall in the Sens favour around the league and with the more likely return of Karlsson, things could be on the up and up. - Caps 1 @ Sens 3  - Leafs 4 @ Sens 1  - Pens 3 @ Sens 1 It’s hard to relive these games, but we struggle through it.  After all, the groundhogs like the game recaps, right?  There’s line-up changes looming and many spare parts hanging around.  We look at some things around the league, look at some teams in the playoffs, announce the winners of the latest contest and get ready for the last week of the regular season where the Sens can hopefully clinch early.
