  On the verge of making their first playoff appearance since 2010, to say that the Ottawa Senators have exceeded expectations is akin to saying that Bobby Butler has struggled through his sophomore season.1  Sometimes you can never emphasize things enough. Or at least that’s the way things seemed. Thanks to the lack of expectations and the fact that pundits were so quick...

Travis Yost: Finishing the Job

Via HockeyBuzz  |  March 22, 2012
Even after an incredibly poor stretch of hockey that forced the Ottawa Senators to drop four of their past five contests, the team is still in a relatively comfortable position concerning the post-season. Up two wins and the tiebreaker on both Washington and Buffalo, Ottawa still has a respectable lead as the season winds down. Still, should the team continue to falter as it has...

Travis Yost: Help On the Horizon?

Make sure to follow Travis on Twitter and Facebook! -- For months, the curious case of Jesse Winchester's head trauma and subsequent post-concussion syndrome clouded an otherwise very positive atmosphere in the city of Ottawa. The Senators - one of the Cinderalla stories of the 2011-2012 season - have been relatively adverse to bad news in Paul MacLean's tenure, but Jesse...

Make sure to follow Travis on Twitter and Facebook! -- A lengthy winning-streak to end the month of February put a measurable amount of distance between the Ottawa Senators and the competition in a race for one of the two final playoff berths.

Make sure to follow Travis on Twitter and Facebook! -- Things aren't going well lately for the Ottawa Senators.

With tonight's blowout loss, followed by...

Melnyk's First Career Hat Trick

For a collective group of players who have flourished in lieu of expectations, now that their precarious grip on an Eastern Conference playoff spot is slipping away, the erosion of their once comfortable cushion has helped foster a climate of uncertainty and second guessing amongst the fans.
