Sens Nation - Your Ottawa Senators Podcast

Show Notes

We discuss the Senators' brutal loss in Florida. After five days of resting, Linus Ullmark gives up five goals in the first period, including one eight seconds into the game. We discuss what happened and try to come up with theories for why it happened. Carter Yakemchuk suffered what looked like a concussion. Brady Tkachuk still looks like he doesn't have his usual energy. We talk about his Dad publicly ripping the Senators on Brady's podcast, the Tkachuks' paid autograph session this week, and the five-game homestand that will make or break the season...

In this episode, we discuss one of the most memorable regular-season games in franchise history. The Senators hammered the Florida Panthers 5-1 on Wednesday night as former captain Brady Tkachuk was booed, jeered and serenaded with insulting chants from start to finish. Steve and Gregg break down the wild atmosphere at Canadian Tire Centre, Brady's reaction to the hostile reception, and whether his trade request is turning out to be a blessing in disguise for the Senators. And what about his former teammates? Is there some genuine bad blood between Tkachuk and the players and friends he left behind? We'll also discuss Jake Sanderson's impressive return, the concerning injury to Linus Ullmark, and Dylan Cozens' play. Plus, the latest on Fabian Zetterlund, Samuel Ersson and the Senators' defence, Tim Stützle's mouthguard moment, a look ahead to the New York Rangers, and the latest on Connor Hellebuyck who was finally traded to the New Jersey Devils.

In this episode, Brady Tkachuk returns to Ottawa this week. Will it be boos or a welcome mat? The former Senators captain is back in town for the first time since demanding a trade to Florida. How loud will the boos be? Will he face the Ottawa media? Will he score against his old team? And could things get physical with one of his former teammates? Meanwhile, the Senators have signed head coach Travis Green to a contract extension through 2030-31. We discuss the timing of the deal and ask a simple question: What's the rush? On the ice, the Senators' offensive struggles continue following a 3-1 loss to the previously winless Philadelphia Flyers. With Ottawa ranked 26th in goals per game, where has the offence gone? We also discuss Thomas Chabot's injury, Jake Sanderson's status, and Travis Green's latest line juggling. Plus, former Senator Jacob Bernard-Docker clears waivers, and we revisit one of the wildest contests in Ottawa sports radio history. In 2002, a Senators fan actually named his newborn daughter Zdeno to win a contest. Nearly 25 years later, she's back in the spotlight after winning a brand-new car on The Price Is Right!It's all coming up on this edition of the Sens Nation Podcast!Presented by Jim Keay Ford, and by Midas Ottawa and Harding Your Home Comfort Centre.👍 Like, subscribe, and turn on notifications so you never miss an episode!#OttawaSenators #GoSensGo #SensNation #NHL #SensPodcastSubscribe and share the show with another Senators fan, and let us hear your comments below.🏒 SUPPORT SENS NATIONSupport the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sensnation🎙️ LET'S HEAR YOUR TAKE!Use any device to leave us a voicemail with your Senators take or question.

The Senators have had a roller-coaster week, with a win over New Jersey, an ugly loss to St. Louis, and a shootout victory over the Islanders. Now Travis Green has thrown his forward lines into a blender. Is it a necessary shakeup or an maybe an overreaction? Stephen Halliday gets a shot alongside Tim Stützle and Drake Batherson, while some familiar top-six faces find themselves on the fourth line. Meanwhile, William Eklund is out 10–12 weeks, Artem Zub is finally back, and Jake Sanderson is getting closer to returning. Should Samuel Ersson get the start in Philadelphia? And have the Senators already used more defencemen than any other NHL team?
