Sens Callups - Ottawa Senators Podcast

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.

This has been an abysmal week on the ice with very poor efforts. The lack of effort flows through our game recaps. - Ducks 2 @ Sens 1  - Sharks 5 @ Sens 2  - Sens 5 @ Blackhawks 6  After trying to find some answers on the team and roster, we speak with Grady Whittenberg, the voice of the Binghampton Senators. We have lots of rants this week and talk about Pan’s best friend right now - Chris NeilAnother quick spin around the league as we stop at Buffalo to point and laugh. We read a couple e-mails and look forward to hearing from you and finding out where the groundhogs are hiding. E-mail us at [email protected] and follow us on twitter at @SensCallups

The big news of the week is seeing a familiar face on the ice. That’s right, Mika Zibanejad has been called up to rejoin the Sens! We get a couple of games at home this week of which some was bad, and some was good. - Devils 2 @ Sens 5  - Oilers 3 @ Sens 1  - Sens 6 @ Red Wings 1 Oh - and we play against Alfie for the first time.After the road trip, we discuss some different in game experience at Canadian Tire Center from the games that we’ve been to up to now.Around the League, Shannahan has been busy in suspensions, there’s been some in season retirements and a few trade rumours going around.Don’t forget to EEEEEMMMMAAAILLL THE SHOW!!!!

The Call Ups return from the #SCUPacific trip and appeared to have a better time than the Sens. We recap the games while also talking about our experience at the different arenas. - Sens 3 @ LA 4 OT Loss  - Sens 2 @ San Jose 3  - Sens 1 @ Anaheim 4  - Sens 4 @ Phoenix 3  We talk about what’s wrong with the team and minor adjustments to see how to use the roster and who should just "GET OFF MY TEAM!"Lots of e-mails for talking points and look around the league.

We have a couple of games in the books with Craig Anderson really competing for the Team USA job. After very quick game recaps (thanks again CBInc) we have chats with Stuntman Stu Schwartz, the Canadian Tire Centre Public Address Announcer, as well as Ian Mendes from the new TSN1200! - Sens 1 @ Sabres 0  - Sens 4 @ Leafs 5 (SO)  A quick look at the league, more money talk (we promise we’re done on that for a long time) and various cap hits.Canuck and Pan are looking forward to their trip and hope to be able to record while away.

The preseason is now over and the Sens wrap up in a disappointing fashion. Pan’s under the weather and it’s a late recording. We briefly take a look at who’s been in and out of the line up, who should be on the team and who’s definitely off. A quick look at notable player movement around the league rolls into the fold and we look at some twitter fun and read out some e-mails.
