Senators Lineup Set for Season Opener: Not Ideal

The start of the Ottawa Senators regular season is finally underway tonight, with the Sens taking on the Carolina Hurricanes. A couple of months ago, I wrote a piece about whether or not the Senators would be a playoff team, and I still believe they are, though there are a couple more hurdles to overcome […]

There are a lot of high expectations for the Ottawa Senators going into the season, and with good reason. For starters, this team can put the puck in the net.

It’s playoffs or bust for the Ottawa Senators this season. Expectations last year were perhaps too high, with the fanbase hoping to see the Sens experience the meteoric rise the New Jersey Devils saw.

Another Long Season for the Senators

This season was supposed to be different for the Ottawa Senators and their fans. They have a young and talented roster, they upgraded their goaltending with Cam Talbot, they added the likes of Claude Giroux and Alex DeBrincat, and it was a brand new start.
