The guy who came up with but failed to monetize "danger flutes." I’m a fan of the Senators from Ottawa and I have a Substack about bin-diving for records at rabbitholerecords.substack.com

GAME ON
In celebration of the hockey season kicking off tomorrow, we offer a breakdown of the Ottawa Senators theme song. [EDIT: user does not allow embedded video, because why would you do that if youR…

Embarking on a seven game road trip through the Southwest United States and then somehow ending in Montreal is like going to a family reunion, meeting a bunch of strange people you’re apparently related to, and then going for a walk to smoke weed with the one cousin you are close with / hate.

Can’t believe Sens lost that one but hey, so did the Wings, Bruins, Leafs, and Sabres, and I was at the zoo anyway.

Seeing a lot of progressive allies dunking on Carney this morning (some of whom are saying the pipeline deal somehow makes Canada *more* dependent on the US). As a person who aspires to be considered progressive, for whom climate is far and away the biggest issue, I thought this was interesting.
Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.

The method to Mark Carney’s madness
The memorandum of understanding with Alberta might look like surrender. Look closer

Monster game from Jake “the Snake” Sanderson, with our special little guy Spence also having himself a good time.

Are they ever gonna update this? Don’t run away from it - lean in. A counter at the top of the screen at all times, maybe?

Sens struggle the most against Buffalo and Los Angeles because at the end of the day those two cities are basically the same.

One of the funniest things about commercials for banks is when the customer checks their balance on their phone and it’s like, “$168,754.” Lol, so relatable!

Sens v Golden Knights in the battle of the team with a logo that has a gladiator helmet even though they’re called “Senators” against the team with a logo that has a gladiator helmet even though a gladiator is not a “golden knight.”

According to the latest team valuations, the Senators are up 22% in a year. That’s a tidy little return for Andlauer. He could sell the team only 2-3 years after buying it and feasibly make a billion dollars.

I honestly don’t know how the Sens look this good with no Chabot. D that includes Jensen, Matinpalo, and Kleven looking disciplined and not out of place, somehow.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say getting Spence at Hamonic’s salary was good GMing.

Jordan Spence is tied for fourth in the league among defencemen in Corsi. The other two D with whom he's tied? Adam Fox and Roman Josi.

This has gotta be some of the worst offensive zone numbers in the league, no?

Futures markets actually have the Ottawa Senators as more likely to win the Stanley Cup than the Toronto Maple Leafs. Just leaving that here.

Going into the season I thought top 6 scoring winger was the one glaring need this team had, but Jensen really does look cooked out there. I really doubt they’d pivot off of him this year, and sadly that’ll probably be to their own detriment, but if they did, then Weegar could be a great target.
