http://www.nothingbutmemory.net/red Stalwartly Supporting the Sens on the West Coast Wed, 21 Apr 2010 21:09:20 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en The Senators' season is drawing rapidly to a close -- hopefully quite rapidly, because I can't actually take much more of this. The first two games of the series against the Penguins were at least entertaining, but since I attended game 3, my enthusiasm for the playoffs has been replaced by an ... http://www.nothingbutmemory.net/red/2010/04/21/awaiting-the-fat-lady/ Once again, it's that most excellent time of year: playoff time. With it comes playoff prediction time, when we all try to guess who will win what and how despite the fact that predicting the NHL is a very slippery business. My post takes the same format as it did last ... http://www.nothingbutmemory.net/red/2010/04/12/april-madness-2010-edition/ Once again, I've gone a long, long time without posting, but now that game 82 has been played and it's all over, I thought I should ... hang on. The season isn't over yet? The Sens are in the playoffs? The Senators? The Ottawa Senators? Well. That was unexpected. In my ... http://www.nothingbutmemory.net/red/2010/04/11/season-post-mortem-wait-what/ A lot of things have  happened since I last blogged about the Sens, for me personally and for the team. Let's start with me: I spent the better part of three weeks in California, where I was able to attend homegames for both the Los Angeles Kings and the Anaheim Ducks. ... http://www.nothingbutmemory.net/red/2010/03/02/ch-ch-ch-changes/ So, I think it's fair to say that the Vancouver Olympics are not going well. Everywhere you look, there's some kind of delay or technical problem. I'm starting to wonder if the organizing committee spent all its time shopping at Lululemon and drinking expensive coffee instead of actually, like, organizing ... http://www.nothingbutmemory.net/red/2010/02/15/were-sorry/ On New Year's Eve I said I'd write a ballad about the exploits of Jordan Eberle. I have not followed through, but I think his performance tonight at least deserves a terrible ode. It is also certainly worth a post in my sadly neglected blog. So: Eberle by Meaghan I think that I ... http://www.nothingbutmemory.net/red/2010/01/05/words-on-a-legend/ Too subtle? It doesn't seem quite right that the Sharks don't play in Ottawa this year, does it? Heatley skipped town and he gets to avoid the consequences for at least a full year. Well, the Sharks do have to play the Canucks this season. Tonight, in fact. And although my ... http://www.nothingbutmemory.net/red/2009/11/29/you-can-run-away-from-ottawa/ http://www.nothingbutmemory.net/red/2009/11/28/nuff-said/ Apologies for the lack of activity in here lately. I am finally finishing up my school career and getting ready to leave Vancouver, so I'm pretty busy with real life stuff. I still watch the Sens, but I don't have much time to blog. This situation will continue until December. ... http://www.nothingbutmemory.net/red/2009/11/12/still-getting-by/ There was a signing in Senators-land today: Bryan Murray rewarded Matt Carkner's solid play with a two-year, $1.4 million one-way contract. The timing of this deal strikes me as strange. Carkner has performed better than I think anyone expected to this point in the season, but it's only been seven games ... http://www.nothingbutmemory.net/red/2009/10/20/the-meaning-of-matt/
