http://www.nothingbutmemory.net/red Stalwartly Supporting the Sens on the West Coast Tue, 18 Nov 2008 22:40:57 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Kukla's Korner's resident Sens blogger SENShobo has a post this morning entitled "Senators Improving as Losing Streak Reaches 5." Geez, you know things are bad when. Trade rumours continue to swirl: the Sun reports that Vancouver GM Mike Gillis and Minnesota GM Doug Risebrough were both at the game last night, ... http://www.nothingbutmemory.net/red/2008/11/18/a-sad-state-of-affairs/ Pregame Remarks Okay, stinky hockey team. I'm back and I'd really appreciate it if you could try not to suck today. We get a pregame interview with Wade Redden, playing his first ever regular season game against the Senators tonight. "It's gonna be different hittin' those guys," says Wade. So I guess ... http://www.nothingbutmemory.net/red/2008/11/17/ill-always-love-you-though-new-york-rangers-2-sens-1-so/ Great game last night! I think the best thing about it was when the boys managed to kill that extended five-on-three in the first period, though seeing them take a 4-0 lead in the second was a highlight too. Giving up two in the third was less good, but at ... http://www.nothingbutmemory.net/red/2008/11/16/la-la-la-i-cant-hear-you/ Big day for the Sens. Big day. Jarkko Ruutu has, unsurprisingly, been suspended for two games for that attempted elbow to the head of Maxim Lapierre. "I had no intention to do it," says Ruutu, "but accidents will happen." They sure will, Jarkko. They just didn't this time. Ryan Shannon has been ... http://www.nothingbutmemory.net/red/2008/11/12/senators-unleashed/ Pregame Notes Some of the talk during the pregame edition of SportsCentre is about Craig Hartsburg's recent public criticism of Jason Spezza. I have to say that I was a little surprised by the criticism. I didn't think Spezza had been playing all that poorly lately, though I can definitely understand ... http://www.nothingbutmemory.net/red/2008/11/11/forgettable-habs-4-sens-0/ In case you missed it, the Montreal Canadiens -- "the class of the Eastern Conference" -- lost 6-3 to those lowly Toronto Maple Leafs last night. (I say lowly, but don't look now, Sens fans: they're ahead of our guys in the standings again!) The Leafs outshot the Habs 41-20 ... http://www.nothingbutmemory.net/red/2008/11/09/sens-likely-to-get-destroyed-on-tuesday-source/ Pregame Remarks I'm still not feeling well, but hopefully the Sens will come up with a performance that makes me feel better. I don't know, though, I hear Alex Auld isn't playing, and that other guy (note: Sens at Land's End has taken a vow never to speak, write, or otherwise ... http://www.nothingbutmemory.net/red/2008/11/07/carolina-drama-hurricanes-2-sens-1/ Pregame Remarks Blogger Fashion Watch: I regret to say that I'm not feeling too well. I've started to develop a cold, and have stayed in bed in my pyjamas all day. Not to worry, though -- I still remembered to put on my lucky Sens earrings (3-0-1) this morning. Sportsnet reminds us ... http://www.nothingbutmemory.net/red/2008/11/06/higher-than-the-flyers-sens-4-flyers-1/ I missed most of the first period due to school obligations and then used commercial breaks and stoppages to follow the results of the US election, so I don't have detailed thoughts about this one. I found it a very satisfying game, though, as I suppose many overtime wins are. ... http://www.nothingbutmemory.net/red/2008/11/05/hallelujah-sens-2-caps-1-ot/ Politically-Themed Matchup. As two United States Senators wait to find out which of them will take the reigns in their country's capital this evening, our Ottawa Senators will take on the Washington Capitals in a battle for capital supremacy. Is it possible that the NHL scheduled this matchup of capital ... http://www.nothingbutmemory.net/red/2008/11/04/tuesday-morning-tidbits/
