Senators In Playoff Spot, Don’t Throw Hamburgers, Hammond Still Hot

6th Sens “Thrown Hamburgers, Injuries, Vindication For Not Spending” – Nichols

Submission: Josh Chenoweth

Nichols transcribes Bryan Murray’s interview from the last pre-game show (as always, with his own thoughts in bold).

He brings up some great points, like how injuries to certain veterans kind of forced the Sens to play their actual best line-up, and that while the recent run of success is great, we’ve seen little evidence of this team progressing towards being a true contender on a regular basis in the near future.

After Andrew Hammond was part of a scary collision in the net with Sharks Logan Couture, the entire fan base of the Ottawa Senators took a collective deep breath. Fortunately, as Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports, Andrew Hammond and Mika Zibanejad should be good to go on Thursday against the New York Rangers.

Ottawa Citizen “Long winning streaks require stars and a large supporting cast” – Ken Warren

Submission: Trevor Shackles

Ken Warren at the Ottawa Citizen says that the Sens run has been a complete team effort. It’s hard to disagree with that, as Erik Karlsson looks Norris-worthy, Andrew Hammond has been lights out, the top nine forwards have all produced, and Patrick Wiercioch has stepped up. By no means is this just a one man show, and for once everyone is rolling.

Ottawa Citizen “Senators on verge of record-setting comeback to NHL playoffs” – Ken Warren

Submission: Eldrinson Vado

As the Ottawa Senators position themselves back in the playoff race, it comes to no surprise that they are breaking historical records. A record as old as two decades could be broken if the Senators do end up making the playoffs. A record that has been held by the 1994 New York Islanders. Ken Warren explains in his article for the Ottawa Citizen.
