Senators Trade for Dennis Gilbert

The Ottawa Senators have found a bit of help for their left side. And it’s a familiar face.

This afternoon, the Sens announced that they have acquired defenceman Dennis Gilbert from the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for Max Guenette.

A familiar face coming back to town!

Gilbert appeared in four games with the Senators last season. He has yet to appear in an NHL game this season and has suited up for just six games in the American Hockey League.

Guenette, a 7th round pick in 2019, has yet to suit up for a game in Belleville this season.

Game Day – Senators Begin Lengthy Road Trip in Anaheim

The Ottawa Senators are a hockey team operating in the National Hockey League. And I am an anonymous blogger that tells you about them from time to time.

Since the 1992/1993 season, the Senators (or the Sens, as they often called by their loyal supporters) have proudly represented Canada’s national pastime in Canada’s national capital. They play their home games in a stadium called the Canadian Tire Centre (or The Tire as it’s sometimes called by at least one person) and their team colours have traditionally been some combination of red, black, gold and white.

While they have yet to capture the sport’s ultimate prize (The Stanley Cup) they will seek a delayed revenge on the team that deprived them of that honour in a regular season game that takes place TONIGHT.

The Ottawa Senators make their long-awaited return to the ice surface as they pay a visit to the surprisingly-competent Anaheim Ducks.

Tonight’s game kicks off what is a grueling seven-game road trip. Tough for the team obviously but also a wee bit tricky for fans too as the next ten days of hockey all have different start times.

10 PM, 7 PM, 9 PM, 10 PM, 4 PM and 6 PM.

PaV is gonna need to be ON HIS GAME.

Here’s how the Senators are expected to line up tonight in California, including an NHL debut for Stephen Halliday and a surprise absence for Ridly Greig.

Perron-Stützle-Batherson
Eller-Cozens-Zetterlund
Amadio-Pinto-Giroux
Cousins-Halliday-Hodgson

Sanderson-Zub
Kleven-Spence
Matinpalo-Jensen

Linus Ullmark is expected to start.

Puck drops at just after 10:00 PM. Not for the faint of heart. TSN5 has the TV coverage and TSN 1200 and 104.7 FM have the radio calls. Internet pirates will be up at all hours of the night to provide us with the links we need.

And because of the late start, you have a few extra hours to get a lost in the beauty of the HEAD2HEAD table.

Game Day – Senators Visit Sharks on Saturday Night

I think Fred Turner said it best…

And I’ll be taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
I’ve been taking care of business (it’s all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime, work out


When Brady Tkachuk went down early in the season, it looked like the Ottawa Senators were in deep, deep trouble. A season full of potential was seemingly sullied before they even really got started. And yet here we stand, just days away from the return of the Captain, and the Senators are just fine, thank you. With a dramatic win in the wee hours of the morning earlier this week, the Sens banked another two points, cozied up to the top teams in the Atlantic Division and got this lengthy road trip pointed in the right direction.

They’ll look to keep it rollin’ when they pay a visit to Macklin Celebrini and whoever else plays for the San Jose Sharks.

This morning, the Senators announced that Lassi Thomson has been returned to Bellville and that’s seemingly because Thomas Chabot is healthy and ready to go. No skate today so we’ll have to wait until later to confirm who slots in where and whether Ridly Greig returns. TeeBeeDee.

Puck drop is scheduled for just a shade after 7:00 PM so make sure you have that pre-game tea well in advance. The game is available on Sportsnet One and on the radio at TSN1200 and 104.7 FM. Some fun lovin’ pirates will set us up with the illegal internet streams.

A closer look at this evening’s match-up via the statistical table that critics are calling “Fine.”.

Game Day – Senators Continue Road Trip in Los Angeles

Back in October, the Ottawa Senators had talked about wanting to be a team that could handle adversity. And then in like the second week of the season, they got smacked up side the head with a dose of it.

Brady Tkachuk is the heartbeat of this team so the idea of playing the first two months without him seemed more than daunting. Especially considering the ghosts of Octobers and Novembers past. And yet as we enter the last week of November, the Senators are knocking on the door of the Atlantic Division lead and have posted a ridiculous 10-4-4 record during Brady’s absence. And the Captain is coming back soon too.

The Ottawa Senators continue their seven-game road trip with a stop in Los Angeles, California on Monday night.

Couple changes expected to the Ottawa lineup tonight. First of all, Thomas Chabot is out again. He didn’t finish the game against the Sharks the other night and isn’t expected to play. Ridly Greig mysterious absence continues. Here is how the Senators are expected to line up for this one.

Perron-Stützle-Batherson
Eller-Cozens-Zetterlund
Amadio-Pinto-Giroux
Cousins-Halliday-Hodgson

Sanderson-Zub
Kleven-Spence
Matinpalo-Jensen

Leevi Merilainen starts.

That puck isn’t droppin’ till 9:00 PM, so rest up. The game is on Amazon Prime so make sure you are sending some of your money to Jeff Bezos every month so you can watch your favourite hockey team. TSN1200 has the radio call or alternatively, you can just have someone with an Amazon subscription watch the game and you can look at them while they describe it to you.

Wondering how these teams match up and you have stricken last weekend’s game from your memory? A closer look via something I’m calling the HEAD2HEAD table.

Game Day – Senators Travel to Vegas to Visit Golden Knights



We’re on Pacific time today which means we’ll have to wait a bit longer for lineup notes. Doesn’t sound like Chabot will play and Tkachuk’s return is expected on Friday. Ridly Greig is still missing. We’ll assume same look for now.

Eller-Cozens-Zetterlund

Linus Ullmark is the expected starter.

Puck drops at like 10:00 PM tonight. So get ready to be up all friggin’ night yapping about the Ottawa Senators. The game is on TSN5, TSN1200, 104.7 and at StreamThoseSens.org.
