SENATORS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Ottawa Senators season all but over
The Ottawa Senators got lucky to win Game 3 of the best-of-seven series with the Pittsburgh Penguins 2-1 in double overtime after their goalie Craig Anderson put on a show facing 50 shots and still winning the game. In Wednesday night's Game 4, the team representing Canada's capital failed to capitalize on the momentum they had from such an inspiring performance. The Pittsburgh...
Daniel Alfredsson Says ‘Probably Not’ Comments Taken Out of Context Somewhat
Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson isn’t giving up hope just yet, but he certainly knows it won’t be tough for his team to come back in their series with the Penguins.
Alfredsson made news following Game 4 on Wednesday night when he replied with “probably not” after being asked whether or not he thought the Senators could come back and win after being down 3-1 with a 7-3...
Daniel Alfredsson's post-game comments decidedly inappropriate
Wow. This is more than a little awkward. As a hockey player and as a captain, I always assumed it would be impossible to criticize Ottawa Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson. He's the prototypical perfect hockey player, a great team guy... and he just completely threw his whole squad under the bus.
When asked in a media scrum after the Senators' 7-3 loss to the Pittsburgh...
Daniel Alfredsson: Senators ‘probably’ can’t come back against Penguins
Ottawa Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson is one of the most well-respected veterans in the NHL. The 40-year-old has more than 400 goals and 1,000 points in his 16-year career. When Alfredsson talks, people listen. That’s what makes his most recent comments such a major concern for Senators fans.
Ottawa dug itself into a 3-1 hole against the Pittsburgh Penguins with an embarrassing...
Senators Coach Paul MacLean Holds 20-Second Press Conference After Blowout Loss to Penguins (Video)
To say that Ottawa Senators head coach Paul MacLean kept things brief after his team was manhandled in a 7-3 loss to Pittsburgh on Wednesday would an understatement
MacLean did not take questions from the assembled media after the game, instead issuing one quick statement before walking away from the podium in a news conference that lasted all of 20 seconds.
“I think everything’s...
Daniel Alfredsson Says Senators Will ‘Probably Not’ Come Back to Beat Penguins
The Ottawa Senators had the opportunity to pull even with the top-seeded Penguins on Wednesday, but they were instead handed a demoralizing 7-3 loss on their home ice.
The rout gave Pittsburgh a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinals, raising the question of whether or not the Sens have a chance to come back against a high-flying Penguins squad led by the NHL’s...
Stanley Cup Playoffs: Eastern Conference Semi-Final: Game 4 – Penguins vs. Senators.
After having their series lead cut in half by a stunning 2 to 1 overtime victory by the Senators Sunday evening, the Penguins were looking to rebound with a decisive victory and take a third game in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference Semi-Final. Ottawa, riding the momentum of both the victory and home ice advantage, was looking to tie the series at a two apiece.
Despite being...
Chris Neil Not Happy With Hit From Brooks Orpik
from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun,
"I was going down. I was in vulnerable position. He gave me an extra shove which made me pick up speed going into the boards," said Neil.
"That's the way he plays, he plays a physical game. I wouldn't expect anything less."...
"Playoff hockey your intensity is high out there. You finish checks,"...
Senators rally, stun Penguins in 2OT

Daniel Alfredsson got Ottawa even 1-1 by scoring a short-handed goal with 29 seconds left in regulation just after the Senators pulled goalie Craig Anderson for an extra skater.
''We were just...

WATCH: Colin Greening finishes off 2OT game
Most of us have heard of Daniel Alfredsson, Erik Karlsson, Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin; however a relatively unknown hero emerged in game 3. Ottawa Senator Colin Greening put “the biscuit in the basket” and sent the Senators home with a 2-1 double overtime thrilling victory. While Pittsburgh still leads the series 2-1, these are the type of games where a series can begin...
Erik Karlsson Delivered An Amazing Skate Pass
Ottawa Senators Erik Karlsson delivered one of the best skate passes I’ve ever seen in a hockey game. During the opening period of Game 3 between the Senators and Pittsburgh Penguins, Karlsson was pushing into Pittsburgh territory when his stick was knocked away from him.
Instead of freaking out, Karlsson continued with the puck underneath his left skate, made a juke move, before...
Only Ottawa Cheering For Ottawa
from Rosie DiManno of the Toronto Star,
Senators Nation? Uh-oh Canada.
The Ottawa Senators may be the only franchise of seven from north of the 49th Parallel still alive and kicking — feebly, to be sure — in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Yet they remain very much a parochial, narrowly embraced entity, a team utterly yoked to one city and one city alone. Further, it’s a...

--
A pair of road losses in Pittsburgh have washed away Ottawa's margin for error. To get back in the series, Ottawa will have to defend home ice against a Penguins team that's firing on all cylinders.
The team's hoping that the return of a familiar face from injury can aid them in their uphill climb: centerman Jason Spezza...
Spezza to return to Senators lineup for Game 3
Jason Spezza doesn't have much time to return to form if the Ottawa Senators want to extend their season.
The star forward hasn't played since Jan. 27 after undergoing back surgery for a herniated disk. He'll rejoin Ottawa's lineup Sunday for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinal series with the Senators trailing 2-0 to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Despite the bad blood that consistently bubbled over, Montreal was not on Ottawa’s level.
