Sens Callups - Ottawa Senators Podcast

The Senators are officially eliminated from the playoffs and yet SOMEHOW end up higher than the Leafs. It’s not that the Sens are better than the Leafs. It’s that the Leafs are that bad!- Habs 7 @ Sens 4 - Sens 3 @ Rangers 2 - Sens 4 @ Islanders 1 - Devils 1 @ Sens 2 - Leafs 0 @ Sens 1 Bobby Ryan looks like he wants to stay and talk extension and Zibanejad is held out of the lineup after going to hospital during the Devils game.

We’re shockingly in a good mood considering that this is pretty much the end of the line for the team, but we also touch on some news around the team including the injury to Bobby Ryan, and news from him and Hemsky with the objective of resigning with the Sens in the summer. It wouldn’t be an episode without laughing at the Leafs, so we do that for a couple minutes.WHY YOU NO E-MAIL THE SHOW????
