Kened Sadiku - Apr 3, 2019

With another addition to their blue crease, the Ottawa Senators goaltending pipeline has another strong candidate in the mix. That being Joey Daccord. After a solid season at Arizona State University, Daccord has turned many heads. But Joey Daccord is not the only upcoming goalie the Senators have. Let’s dive into the Sens future in-between […]

In a year that’s all about playing the kids, it is tough to see this. But, sending down Drake Batherson was the right call for the Ottawa Senators.

Alex Metzger, Editor - Dec 18, 2018

The Ottawa Senators often see themselves losing leads. This leads to the question, should Brady Tkachuk get more defensive responsibility?

Kyle Pereira - Aug 11, 2018

Swedish hockey is taking a massive step forward this year. It has always been a powerhouse hockey country, but this season, it is on another level. In my rankings, there are seven Swedes projected to go in the first round. Of those seven, one forward by the name of Simon Robertsson sticks out. He has […]

2021 NHL Draft
Kyle Pereira - Aug 11, 2018

The 2021 NHL Draft does not pose the same excitement as the 2020 NHL Draft did. However, there are still plenty of players that teams can build around for the future. There’s another future star goaltender in this class, falling in line with goalies like Spencer Knight and Yaroslav Askarov before him. There are several […]

Carson Lambos
Gabriel Foley - Aug 11, 2018

Carson Lambos is one of many players in the 2021 NHL Draft class who could go first overall. But he’s far from earned the consensus. With so much talent from players like Owen Power, Brandt Clarke, and Matty Beniers, there’s no real favourite this year. And Lambos hasn’t really helped his case much. He managed […]
