I wonder if when Travis Green says “we need to get back to our game” it means something specific or if it’s like when my mom puts something she wants to see happen “out to the universe.”

Leevi Meriläinen’s previous strategy of being a .925 goaltender was superior, imho

Radio Free Sens has acquired this exclusive footage of NHL officials learning that the Olympic ice surface has been constructed to smaller dimensions than those required by NHL rules:

I’m sorry, I know it’s a disaster, but it’s very funny that the Olympic hockey rink in Milan is being constructed in the most Italian way possible.

Colorado having a +50 goal differential 30% of the way into the season is wild. Last year’s differential leader was +86 at the end of the season. Boston’s +128 in 22-23 is the highest over the last 10 years, seems like Colorado can beat it.

Hell yeah. Winning record on the hardest road trip of the season, without Chabot and mostly without Tkachuk. This team’s got the juice.

Parenting is one miraculous milestone every couple of weeks until they become possessed by an ancient demon whose aim is to produce enough psychic distress to open a portal to their dimension.

Goalies really are a special breed.

Embarking on a seven game road trip through the Southwest United States and then somehow ending in Montreal is like going to a family reunion, meeting a bunch of strange people you’re apparently related to, and then going for a walk to smoke weed with the one cousin you are close with / hate.

Can’t believe Sens lost that one but hey, so did the Wings, Bruins, Leafs, and Sabres, and I was at the zoo anyway.

Seeing a lot of progressive allies dunking on Carney this morning (some of whom are saying the pipeline deal somehow makes Canada *more* dependent on the US). As a person who aspires to be considered progressive, for whom climate is far and away the biggest issue, I thought this was interesting.

Monster game from Jake “the Snake” Sanderson, with our special little guy Spence also having himself a good time.

Contery on are backs

Are they ever gonna update this? Don’t run away from it - lean in. A counter at the top of the screen at all times, maybe?

Finally, something nice happens for the Golden Knights.

You, a casual sports fan: “It’s cool that the Blue Jays just spent $200 million on a free agent.” Me, a hardcore sports fan: “It’s cool that the Ottawa Senators gave David Perron a second year.”

Sens struggle the most against Buffalo and Los Angeles because at the end of the day those two cities are basically the same.

One of the funniest things about commercials for banks is when the customer checks their balance on their phone and it’s like, “$168,754.” Lol, so relatable!

I'd like to see Vegas top this m.youtube.com/watch?v=9LPz...

Sens v Golden Knights in the battle of the team with a logo that has a gladiator helmet even though they’re called “Senators” against the team with a logo that has a gladiator helmet even though a gladiator is not a “golden knight.”

According to the latest team valuations, the Senators are up 22% in a year. That’s a tidy little return for Andlauer. He could sell the team only 2-3 years after buying it and feasibly make a billion dollars.

I honestly don’t know how the Sens look this good with no Chabot. D that includes Jensen, Matinpalo, and Kleven looking disciplined and not out of place, somehow.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say getting Spence at Hamonic’s salary was good GMing.

Jordan Spence is tied for fourth in the league among defencemen in Corsi. The other two D with whom he's tied? Adam Fox and Roman Josi.

I don’t envy the social media manager who has to ask Claude Giroux to play a game for the camera.

Features the line “Maybe Faby’s stats [in San Jose] were a bit inflaty.”

This has gotta be some of the worst offensive zone numbers in the league, no?

Futures markets actually have the Ottawa Senators as more likely to win the Stanley Cup than the Toronto Maple Leafs. Just leaving that here.

My bf is excitedly telling me that the reason we can't find Bigfoot is because they "simply" explode when they die.

Going into the season I thought top 6 scoring winger was the one glaring need this team had, but Jensen really does look cooked out there. I really doubt they’d pivot off of him this year, and sadly that’ll probably be to their own detriment, but if they did, then Weegar could be a great target.

Saw some stuff online about whether Ottawa is really ready to push all their chips in and go for it. Here's a thread about why they should / are / will / do / be!

Me wearing a Travis Green mask and addressing the dressing room after a win: “We won because we found our identity, and we know who we are because our identity tells us who we are, which is to play our game, and to find a way…to know who we are and stick to our game, so…just do that again tomorrow.”

Rangers’ Winter Classic jersey a great reminder that ‘diagonal city name’ almost always beats ‘high concept logo with sparkles.’

Got an ad on Instagram inviting me to apply to be an extra for Dune: Messiah, and very fibre of my being was screaming that this was a scam to give access to my account to an ad bank or whatever, and, yes, I clicked on it and applied.

Coming back to Ottawa for a visit, landing at 7:15. Meeting my bud at Shawarma King at 8:00.

Pretty funny that the Sens have the Star’s number at home but can’t quite figure out the Sabres.

Hey yeah, Sens got the bats going again.

It only happens maybe a few times in one’s life but today was one of those days: a bird got trapped in our house. Happy “talking about how a bird got trapped in our house“ day to all those who celebrate.

Being a newish father on the west coast means the game starts at 10am and you’ve already been awake for 5 hours and are questioning everything because you had one (1) glass of Pinot Grigio the night before.

Senators lose in overtime in what is surely the most crushing thing to happen in Canadian sports over the last couple of weeks.

Sens score first! For the first time in franchise history!

There should be an option to upload your own album art when a record is really really good but the cover is awful

The Jays losing the World Series and then the Sens not having a game for a week got me feeling like they’ve already been eliminated from the NHL season.

Father John Misty w/ Andy Shauf at the Castro theater in SF. Just costed it out. For my wife and me to get two tickets + babysitter + transpo or parking + maybe dinner and a drink or two, we're looking at like $400-$500. Man, when did going to an indie show become equivalent to a Warriors game?

The magical thing about democracy is how yesterday’s election confirms all of everyone’s previously held priors.

Prior to the season: - “Sens are going to have trouble scoring goals, they’ll have to rely on Ullmark and win every game 3-1.” 15% of the way into the season: - 10th overall in goals per game - 7th overall powerplay - Ullmark 70th/70 in goals saved above expected. Hockey!

The McDonald’s drive through people recognizing you is a real moment-of-clarity / rock-bottom experience.
