Sens Callups - Ottawa Senators Podcast

This week has been pretty much good news for the Sens (and for Pan’s new car). Lots of points earned and re-upping Bryan Murray for a couple more years and retaining and promoting Randy Lee and Pierre Dorion to retain the brain trust of the executive. - Sens 3 @ Avs 4 (OT)  - Sens 2 @ Preds 1  - Sens 3 @ Wild 0  Murray and Melnyk promise better results on the ice with better options. This means higher ticket prices but also much better experience at the arena and game.We read some e-mail and tweets and thanks go out to the donors. Lots of key games coming up as the race to the playoffs continues!

It's a short week for the Sens SO WHY DON'T WE TALK ABOUT IT FOR 2 HOURS?!?!?!?! - Jets 3 @ Sens (without Pan) 4  - Sens 4 @ Habs 3 Paul Maclean has some positive things to say as life without Spezza goes on! We keep on rolling with wins, talk about the Olympics, say goodbye to Tim Murray. A little laughing at the Leafs, and choices for the Olympic team. Good emails and we're ready for more!LET'S KEEP STREAKING!

We're back after the Holidays and return with lots of game recaps.  It's been really an up and down season and at the midway point of the year, it's hard to tell what to make of this team.  - Sens 2 @ Devils 5  - Panthers 4 @ Sens 2  - Coyotes 4 @ Sens 3 (OT)  - Penguins 0 @ Sens 5  - Sens 0 @ Bruins 5  - Bruins 3 @ Sens 4  - Capitals 1 @ Sens 3  Pan and Canuck talk about the Sens Blogger Classic, rumours about Michael Del Zotto to Ottawa reimurge and some talk about things going on in the league, along with the Leafs shooting themselves in the foot with their anticipated resigning of Phaneuf to max dollars and term, rumours about Kadri, some world juniors a couple e-mails and urge you to join the fun with # SEAofBlue We hope you all have a Happy and safe New Years! (Credit and thank you to @Capital_Gains65 for the image)

It’s still been an up and down week for the Sens. Speaking of up and down, (TWSS) JGP and Cody Ceci come up to the big team. Both make a big impression on the team by potting goals in the St. Louis game. Things are looking better... or worse... - Buffalo 1 @ Sens 2 Yup yup yup  - LA 5 @Sens 2 Nope nope nope  - Blues 2 @ Sens 3 Yup yup yup Kardinal and Pan bicker to the point where we forget what we're talk about and then end up on the same side. Prize to anyone who figures out what we were talking about and what our opinions were.Hope you all enjoy the Holidays and take advantage of the extra time off to EEEE- MMMAAAAIILLLLLL THE SHOWWWWW!!!!

In this week, more of the same! - Sens 1 @ Lightning 3  - Leafs 4@ Sens 3 (SO)  - Flyers 4 @ Sens 5 (SO)  - Sens 1 @ Buffalo 2 (SO)  There’s some news on the Sens with Hoffman going back to Bingo and Cowen suspended for 2 games which a lot of people were hoping that he sat out anyway. Shootouts are apparently fun.Lots of stuff around the league and we get some good e-mails - WHY YOU NOT EEEEEMAIILL HAAAARDAAAAAH

It was somewhat of an emotional week with Alfie coming back to town for the first time, but still lots of news with the new Heritage Jerseys and a surprising 500 win percentage.  - Sens 6 @ Caps 4  - Canucks 5 @ Sens 2  - Red Wings 4 @ Sens 2  - Sens 4 @ Panthers 2  We announce the winner of our Sens Call Ups contest and read out the very touching e-mail from our winner.  We need more e-mails and more action on the forums.  Tell your friends!

The results on the ice continue to waver and there doesn’t seem to be a clear front runner as a constant in goal.  - Wild 4 at Sens 3  - Sens 2 at Red Wings 4  - Sens 1 at Hurricanes 4 Not much happens news wise with the Sens, except for the Rangers declining taking a pile of spare parts for Del Zotto, but we look at the news of the new Canadian National TV contract. Pan does more math with the Forbes article on valuations and we read no e-mail.

The Sens still struggle in the win column and everyone tries to look for answers. In those answers are a variety of trade rumours that have come out - most of which are laughable. - Bruins 2 @ Sens 4  - BJs 4 @ Sens 1  - Flyers 5 @ Sens 2 Lots of e-mails to read through this week and we’re Ready For More!

The first two games in the past week were great, but then all happiness gets torn away: - Habs 1 @ Sens 4  - Panthers 2 @ Sens 3  - Flyers 5 @ Sens 0   Lots of goalie talk, more line up stuff and discussion on attendance.  We’re joined by Jade Fair from the Ottawa Senators to talk about the Sens Student Union deals.  You can follow them on twitter at @SensUnion or on their site at:http://senators.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=49385.Kardinal and Pan argue (again) about free agents from the summer and a little on Alfie (yes, again). We look around the league, touch on who’s hired and fired and answer a couple e-mails.Don’t forget to tell your friends about us to help the show grow AND e-mail us at [email protected] and let us know what you think the team will look like after this, being the 3rd year of a 3 year rebuild.

This week was better in results for the Sens: - Islanders 5 @ Sens 4 (SO)  - Stars 4 @ Sens 3 (SO)  - Sens 4 @ BJs 1 Kardinal and Pan disagree as always and rehash Alfie (again), look at lines and lots of talk on Chris Neil. We also get into it so much that we call upon an expert, Shawn McKenzie from SportsNet to talk about recent Sens news.Lots of talk from around the league and looking ahead, we also have the pleasure of speaking with Paige Lewis of Panther Parkway - you can follow her at @PaigeLewisFLIt will be an exciting week ahead and we look forward to your reactions.
