Sens Callups - Ottawa Senators Podcast

Originally Aired: February 28, 2013 After a fantastic week and sweeping home games, Ben Bishop has led the team through some very close games with unexpected heroics coming from Daugavins and Regin.- Rangers 2 @ Sens 3 SO- Laughs 2 @ Sens 3- Habs 1 @ Sens 2 SOWe are joined by our good old friend and familiar voice of Russell from the old show to discuss the season up to now and look at some moves around the league.  E-mails and more talk about the potential realignment.We look forward to more feedback and feel free to join the network.  You can create your own podcast, post in the forums, write up blogs, e-mail us your thoughts, or if you want to call up to us, let us know!

Originally Aired: February 24, 2013 After an exciting night out where all three Call Ups were in attendance in the Leafs and Sens game, we couldn’t wait to get back on the air to talk about it.Leafs 2 @ Sens 3!We bounce around and talk about the game and the atmosphere of the arena.  With fear of being totally embarrassed with the visiting blue shirts in the stands, the Sens stand up for themselves.  Lost in this was the Do It for Daron drive.  To make donations and for more information, visit their website at www.difd.com 

Originally Aired: February 20, 2013 Coming out of the depths of despair with the loss of the Apostle, the Sens bear down and end up with fairly good results in granted some sub par performances in the mean time- Sens 0 @ Leafs 3- Sens 2 @ Devils 1 SO- Isles 1 @ Sens 3Seems that the long list of injuries isn’t an issue and the call ups are fitting in great.  We take a quick spin around the league, look at Lindy Ruff’s firing and realignment is in discussions.  We read out a couple e-mails and look to the week ahead.  Don’t pull the shoot yet, kids, but make sure that you know where your floatation device is properly stored.

Originally Aired: February 14, 2013 Well, a huge disappointing blow as Erik Karlsson seems to be out for possibly the season with what we’re now calling a questionable cut to the ankle by Matt Cooke.Considering the wins and losses for the week, this really puts a damper on things, and possibly a chance at competing for the playoffs- Canes 3 @ Sens 2 OTL- Jets 1 @ Sens 0- Slugs 0 @ Sens 2- Sens 2 @ Pens 4We cover e-mails, talk a bit about the game experiences and really lick our wounds about the Karlsson incident.

Originally Aired:  February 6, 2013 The Call-ups are missing their top line host Pan, so like the Senators we bring in Puddleduck from our farm system to fill in.   You might want to check the math, because it may or may not be his strong point. We recap: - Game 8: Sens @ Canes (loss) - Game 9: Sens @ Habs (loss) - Game 10: Sabres @ Sens (win) Topics of attention include Corvo, the no-goal in Montreal and Kardinal's burn of a Leaf fan at SBP. Special thanks to SensKal and Senior for their emails which we discuss on the show. 

Originally Aired: February 1, 2013 And we’re back!  Now we’re missing our fist line center with Spezza’s injuries, but that’s OK because WE GOT E-MAIL!!! And Z-Bad. More great results with 5 out of a possible 6 games:- Penguins 2 – Sens 1 (Shout Out)- Capitals 2 – Sens 3- Canadiens 1 – Sens 5After talking about the potential replacements or fill ins on the top line, we review how great some players have been doing and how some others, well, not so quite.  We also get to learn more about a staple at some Sens games by calling up Senatron! Around the league, we have a couple RFA signings and see the re-emergence of a familiar face in an unfamiliar location.Thanks to all for listening to us through our first 10 episodes and we look forward to reading more of your e-mails and see you on the forums!

Originally Aired: January 26, 2013 The boys head down to Florida for a couple games after opening up SBP.  It’s cold out in Ottawa, so Canuck decides to go down with them. - Panthers 0 @ Sens 4- Sens 3 @ Panthers 1- Sens 4 @ Lightning 6Anderson proves himself as the starter and the offense fires on all cylinders.  It’s easy to say that the team looks good overall, but Bishop struggled in his first start of the year – not that the team in front of him played extraordinarily well either.We look at some interesting new rules and announce the winners of our two contests.  We still look forward to hearing from you, so please e-mail us at [email protected]

Originally Aired: January 19, 2013 No better way to start an NHL season than with a win right?  Welcome back NHL!  Our collective excitment for the return of Ottawa Senators hockey made us jump to the airwaves following the Sens 4-1 win over the Jets. Canuck was still in Florida, and we didn't have our usual technical setup, but we finally had a hockey game to talk about.  With smiling faces, we recap the Sens season opening win.

Originally Aired:  January 16, 2013 Here we go!  We finally have more hockey to talk about.  After watching a couple of open practices and participating in the open house, we are excited to see how the line up is shaping up and getting our first look at new acquisitions and some prospects up from the BSens.  To help us out, we have Ben from Binghamton give us a breakdown of guys that he’s been looking at for a few years. A couple big things in the news is who will play in goal and which D men to bring up and who would be in goal….and how local media is blowing things out of proportion. We touch on updates on signings, big news in the buy outs of bad contracts and the surprising lack of trades. We’re looking forward to having a great season with you guys and want the Underground to be as interactive as possible.  With that, Spaceman is running a hockey pool for us.  E-mail to [email protected] to enter and we’ll have a prize pack for the winner.  More info on the rules are on the forums at www.sensunderground.com.  Don’t forget to participate in the forums during the games.Also, enter the second SCU Contest for your chance to win a Sens jersey style of your choice!  See the forums or twitter for more details. GAME ON!!!!!

Originally Aired:  January 6, 2013Are YOU Red-dy For More?Welcome back, groundhogs!  It’s been a long and hard 4 months and we’re back with a new episode to discuss the available information on the CBA “Framework”, how it will impact some teams and how well the Sens look to be set up for the new salary cap.We discuss the look of the line up and depth charts for who fits where and who could come up to the big team from Binghamton – and yes – as always, we have a goalie controversy, but for once, it’s a good one.  Cowan’s injury has drastic impact on the blue line and we look at ways to fill them.The compliance buyouts bring an interesting twist for teams to get below the cap, but we have to wait for the summer for that.  This could cause budgetary and locker room issues around the league and will be very interesting to see.We’re looking forward to being with you this season – don’t forget to join us in the forums or E-MAIL THE SHOW!!!!
