Don Brennan at the Ottawa Sun reports on the Senators success at Madison Square Garden..."In the all-time series between the two teams, the Senators are 23-13-0-1 at MSG — 11-2 since the lockout and 14-3 in their last 17 visits."Here's Daniel Alfredsson on the Senators game plan going into the series..."We're going to go in and give it everything we have. Hopefully, we can get off to a good start in the series and make the (Rangers) chase us."...MSG during the playoffs is a whole different animal than during the regular season.

Rallying Cry: Alfie's Last Playoffs?

Via The 6th Sens  |  April 09, 2012
Just last week, Sportsnet's Ian Mendes penned an article describing how this season represented what could perhaps be the ideal situation or best circumstances under which Daniel Alfredsson could retire. Last year at this time, Alfredsson seriously contemplated retirement when he was sidelined with an injury that required season-ending surgery. At the start of this season,...

What to Watch For: Erik Karlsson's Ice-time

Down by two goals at the start of the third period in their eventual 2-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes, one of the small subtleties that I noticed were the number of regular shifts that Erik Karlsson was taking without his regular defensive partner, Filip Kuba. Via DobberHockey.com's Frozen Pool component (you have to pay for the service) here is a look at Karlsson's even...

Systems Breakdown: Ottawa Senators

Via Blue Seat Blogs  |  April 10, 2012
Of the three potential first round match-ups, the Senators were the last team I wanted to draw in the opening round. I know on paper the Senators probably look less scary than the Capitals, but from a systems/coaching standpoint, I think the Rangers are going to have their hands full and part of that is because of their ability to execute a well balanced hybrid trap system. Side...

After a wild day of hockey yesterday, the Capitals jumped up to the number seven seed and will play the Bruins in the first round.  For the last month it looked like the Bruins would be playing the Ottawa Senators in the first round of the 2012 playoffs, but after Ottawa’s loss yesterday and wins by both the Panthers and Capitals that all changed.  Now the Bruins will have to...
