To mark the 20th anniversary of the modern Ottawa Senators franchise, we asked several prominent bloggers to give us their favourite Sens moments. Next up: Graeme Nichols from The 6th Sens on a change of tone in the Battle of Ontario.
About James Gordon
Born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Citizen sports editor James Gordon watched the original NHL Jets play their last game on his 15th birthday and returned 15 years later to chronicle one of the reincarnated franchise’s games against the Ottawa Senators. Prior to joining the Citizen’s sports section as a hockey writer and online editor during Senators’ 2007 Stanley Cup final run, he spent several years on Parliament Hill covering national security, terrorism and access to information issues. The Carleton University grad’s journalism career began with a summer job as a business reporter with Dow Jones Newswires in Toronto, but he soon returned to Ottawa to join the Citizen. James was appointed sports editor in March 2012.
The Ottawa Senators host a rematch with the New York Rangers at Scotiabank Place. Which team will come out on top? Our prediction panel weighs in.
Hear what the Senators’ players and coach had to say after practice Tuesday.
The fourth time they tested fate was unlucky. Three times the Ottawa Senators have gone to a shootout this season, and three times they’ve won. On Saturday against the Buffalo Sabres, they weren’t so lucky.
There will be no lineup changes for the Senators when they face the Buffalo Sabres at Scotiabank Place Saturday night. That means Brian Lee will play his second straight game after sitting seven as a healthy scratch, while David Rundblad will watch another one from the press box.
