from Don Brennan of the Ottawa Sun, Now people are blaming Ottawa’s coach, Paul MacLean, for all of this. Guilty as charged. At least he’s guilty of being a first-year coach. Of being a passionate, honest, straight-shooting communicator — the qualities that will find him plenty of success at this level. And apparently, he’s also guilty of breaking some bizarre code that says what goes on on the ice, stays on the ice.
Rookie mistake.
But it’s a good thing this past week wasn’t a HBO 24/7 special somehow featuring Ottawa’s Senators and co-starring the NHL’s referees. Then the whole world could see how O’Rourke’s remark to MacLean started a chain reaction that played a huge role in Ottawa’s Senators crashing back to the treeline with two more consecutive losses.

Daniel Alfredsson picked all of his Ottawa Senators teammates and all of the fellow Swedes participating in the game. Zdeno Chara picked both Bruins (plus former Bruin Dennis Wideman) and both fellow Slovaks.

The Ottawa Senators closed out their Western Conference road trip with a 3-2 loss to the Phoenix Coyotes in a match up that was as exciting as the stadium name for the local team. Despite a fight in the second period, this game lacked intensity and emotion.
