On Wednesday evening (Sept. 19, 2018), a handful of Senators-related bloggers, podcasters, and social-media personalities were invited by the Senators to attend the preseason game against the Toronto Maple Leafs at the Canadian Tire Centre. In attendance were Sens Callups, Sens Chirp, 6th Sens, Silver Seven Sens, and bRian5or6. We were given the opportunity to talk with Pierre Dorion (General Manager) and then later with Aimee Deziel (CMO), Janice Nicholson (head of digital media). This is the audio from the round-table portions of those meetings. The quality is limited as it was not a formal interview setup and there was a lot of noise from the arena as pre-game warm-ups were getting underway. The Pierre Dorion round table consists of the first 19 minutes. After that is the discussion with Aimee Deziel (new CMO). The audio for this section is limited as the warmups had started and there is a more background noise. However we've left it in for you and it can be useful to hear some of the marketing plans the t

The day that no one ever saw coming has come. The franchise player, the generational talent, the face of the franchise: Erik Karlsson has been traded away to the San Jose Sharks. We’re joined with Ian Mendes from TSN 1200 as we review the Karlsson trade and the passing over the summer. A big thanks to Todd Van Allen for his humourous "behind the scenes" outtakes of Eugene Melynk's latest PR video. Don’t worry listeners, we will still be here with you through this season. So….DONATE TO THE SHOW!!!!   www.senscallups.com

Not much really happening with the Ottawa Senators lately, so this is a short episode?   NOT!   We walk through all the drama and negativity surrounding the organization, discuss draft, trades, etc. What are our thoughts on the franchise?  The answer might surprise you...

We’re finally back to the mics to talk about what’s happened with the Sens including lottery pick, town hall and other fun & not so fun things.  Thanks again for your support this year & we’re looking forward to coming back next season for move happy & positive events.

We’re finally back!  There’s way too many games to summarize, but we’re joined with Ian Mendes from TSN1200 to discuss the state of the Sens!

The trade deadline passes & the Sens pretty much look the same including the Captain, Erik Karlsson is still here!!!! - Sens @ Blackhaws 3-2 SO Loss - Lightning @ Sens 4-3 Loss - Flyers @ Sens @ 5-3 Loss

Well, here we go again.  When you try nothing different, nothing changes   Wild @ Sens 6-4 L Sens @ Bolts 2-1 SOL Sens @ Panthers 1-0 L Sens @ Bruins 5-1 L   Something needs to change, but what?

Dean Brown calls up and discusses the NHL100 Classic experience as well as sheds his thoughts on the performance of the Sens. We recap what was a DREADFUL road trip, seeing the Senators win just one (barely) game against the Islanders.   Thank goodness we have 2 home wins to recap after that awful road trip. Good ol' Eugene Melnyk opens his mouth on the radio and brings up the word "relocation" - we share our thoughts on that. --- ’Twas the nightmare before Christmas, at all all time low Not a game the #Sens were winning, even against Buffalo Not DUCHENE! Not ANDY! Not KARLSSON nor BRASS Could pull a regulation win out of their collective A** And onto the radio, the owner did pout To which the town united, cried #MelnykOut  

We’re back after the worst loss run by the Sens in 5 years.  It’s been very trying over the last two weeks & they’ve hit the road on a very difficult trip.  We’re joined with Ian Mendes from TSN 1200 to break down the season up to now Pens 3 @ Sens 1  Arizona 3 @ Sens 2 (OT)  Sens 0 @ Rangers 3  Sens 2 @ Caps 5  Sens 2 @ Blue Jackets 5  Islanders 2 @ Sens 1  Sens 1 @ Habs 2

We have a big acquisition this week - we're joined with Puddleduck!!! Oh - and also  Red Wings 1 @ Sens 3  Golden Knights 5 @ Sens 4  Sens 4 @ Avs3 in Stockholm, Sweden   Avs 3 @ Sens 4 in Stockholm, Sweden WHO WOULD YOU TAKE BACK FOR FREE:  TURRIS OR METHOT?

We're back after another couple weeks. The Sens are starting to struggle and ended the week with the most pathetic & embarrassing outing in a long time. IS PIERRE DORION DOING A GOOD JOB OR TERRIBLE JOB?!?! Leafs 3 @ Sens 6 Kings 3 @ Sens 2 SO Flyers 4 @ Sens 5 Sens 4 @ Devils 5 SO Habs 8 @ Sens 3

We're back after about 10% of the season is done.  This week we spend about half the time talking about the Sens and half the time talking about Canuck's wedding   SHOULD THE SENS TRADE ERIK KARLSSON?!?!?!  Listen to find out!   Caps 5 @ Sens 4 SO Red Wings 2 Sens 1 SO Sens 3 @ Canucks 2 Sens 6 @ Flames 0 Sens 6 @Oilers 1 Canucks 3 @ Sens 0 Devils 5 @ Sens 4 OT 

We're back & the Sens hit the ice in less than 24 hours! Logan Brown & Alex Formenton are still on the roster & Erik Karlsson may be back sooner than later.   We're looking to start a new segment called "Question Period" where Kardinal & Pan debate a listener question and Canuck picks a winner.  E-mail in your questions!

We’re back to summarize what some would say has been a summer of blunders.  From the loss of Methot in the expansion draft, not drafting a goalie, signing Nate Thompson and other long contracts along with having Daniel Alfredsson leaving the team once again.  What does this mean about the team?  What does it mean to the fan base?  And most importantly what does it mean to Erik Karlsson?  WHO KNOWS!?!?!?!?Seas

We're back a little bit later than expected, and also in a way, a little earlier than wanted. We summarize the remainder of the playoff series where the Sens lost to the reigning Stanley Cup Champions Pittsburgh Penguins in double overtime of game 7. Regardless as to how much it hurts, we're joined by Jamie McLennan from TSN & Ian Mendes from TSN 1200 to summarize the season. Thank you for listening and staying in touch. We look forward to continuing this summer & going into next season.

We are up 2 games to 1 against the defending champs?   2 wins away from a trip to the dance?  Beat the Pens 5-1 last game?  ARE YOU KIDDING ME??
