Ottawa Senators TIDBITS & QUICK HITS!

The guy was adopted, then his parents divorce before he turns 10 then he moves every few months. That kind of stuff diddles up your childhood most of the time.

I agree.

Fair enough. I don't mind him on the Team anyway, so good that he's turned his life around.

Yeah, I think he does an alright job on the radio. I think him and Jakubec do the best job, with everyone else just kind of providing a regular Joe perspective on everything (which is incredible boring to listen to).

Did he really realize he was a jerk? All I got from that article was 'I was unfaithful, and I just wanted stability more than anything, but I couldn't help myself'.

Nothing ground breaking. A lot of his terrible situation was just created by himself. he found this 'stability' at various points in his life only to screw it up. Now he's found it again. Who's to say he won't screw it up again? Whatever...

Aren't Bobby and Clarke supposed to be in town today? Isn't there some kind of introduction?

Apparently you've already been introduced, since you're on a first name basis with them.

Yes, but I'm talking about the "lesser" fans

Sport Chek has 50% of Alfie, Silf, and Zbad? jerseys right now. Doesn't answer your question but you could get a nice Zbad jersey for cheap?

Someone finally caught the pun

Is it really a poll? It thought it was a DBG-like blog.

The Ottawa Senators have a chance to be a good hockey team in the near future. Other things I find attractive about playing there:

Doesn't look like a poll at all, just some guy's opinion, based on, well, as you can see by the quoted part above, not very much. They have a "chance" to be a good team? How about they have the best defenseman and goalie in the league, coached by the best coach. With injuries to its top goalie, #1 center, the defenseman and goalie mentioned earlier (plus Cowen), and their top goal scorer from the previous year, they still managed to improve from the previous season i their post-season seed, and even won a series. And now they added a perennial 30 goal scorer while losing a 40+ player who guessed they weren't good enough. I know I'm biased; does the guy who wrote the article know he is stupid?

The top 4 are the 4 biggest cities in the USA...
Leafs are 7th and MTL is 9th. Myeah...
