Cornwall Ontario – The litany of issues facing Sens owner Eugene Melnyk is bewildering. While there’s always a back story to most issues, the face of the slide for the team started with the handling of fan fave Daniel Alfredsson.

What’s Wrong with the Ottawa Senators & Why They’ll Trade Erik Karlsson by Jamie Gilcig 121417
Cornwall Ontario – I love Erik Karlsson. He’s been a strong leader for the Ottawa Sens who helped lead them right up to the gate of a Stanley Cup championship last season before undergoing major ankle surgery. Karlsson is always a Norris trophy threat and All World player. He’s taken critics to heart and developed… Continue reading What’s Wrong with the Ottawa Senators & Why They’ll Trade Erik Karlsson by Jamie Gilcig 121417
Ottawa Sens Dropping 1500 Seats Highlight Marketing Fail. By Jamie Gilcig 090717
Cornwall Ontario – I’m a secret Ottawa Sens fan. Of the team, not so much ownership. I think Ottawa has amazing hockey fans. Good fans though can get frustrated. High prices, having to travel to their rink in the boondocks rather than having a downtown rink. A penny pinching owner. In a… Continue reading Ottawa Sens Dropping 1500 Seats Highlight Marketing Fail. By Jamie Gilcig 090717
Will Sens Owner Open Purse & Reward Guy Boucher & Team by Jamie Gilcig FEB 19, 2017
Cornwall Ontario – The Ottawa Sens have been a budget team for years. They struggle to put butts in the seats out in Kanata and do a really poor job of marketing.

Ottawa Sens Bring Back Chris Neil – Is Drouin Reachable? by Jamie Gilcig FEB 29, 2016
Classy move by the Ottawa Senators in rewarding one of my faves, Chris Neil, with a contract extension for next season. The long time tough guy is a great dressing room presence and has a pretty darn good year in limited minutes. Today is trade deadline day in the NHL and so far Ottawa has… Continue reading Ottawa Sens Bring Back Chris Neil – Is Drouin Reachable? by Jamie Gilcig FEB 29, 2016

Ottawa Senators First Quarter Review by Jamie Gilcig – The Bubble May Have Burst
CFN – It’s time to give the Ottawa Sens their Quarter Season report. The team is currently 10-9-4 with 24 points and a -2 goal differential. Essentially they are a lower end bubble team which isn’t the best spot to be in. They are three points out of a wild card spot behind Florida… Continue reading Ottawa Senators First Quarter Review by Jamie Gilcig – The Bubble May Have Burst
The Ottawa Senators Need to Blow It Up & Rebuild for 2014/15 by Jamie Gilcig
CFN – Is it time to blow up the Ottawa Senators and do a rebuild or will a refit suffice? Frankly cap limited teams in the NHL have very little hope of winning Lord Stanley’s Cup. The last team that wasn’t a big budget squad to win was the pre-cap 2006 Carolina Hurricanes. It’s… Continue reading The Ottawa Senators Need to Blow It Up & Rebuild for 2014/15 by Jamie Gilcig
