Paul MacLean wisely suggests that his Senators can learn from Penguins’ ‘clinic’
I believe that this is an auto-play video, but Ottawa Senators coach Paul MacLean put things particularly eloquently after his team's series-ending 6-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday, ending the teams' second-round series in 5 games.
MacLean's bottom line on the series, as he told Sportsnet? "I hope they don't charge us for the clinic," he said...
RECAP: Penguins Eliminate the Pesky Sens in Game Five
Forget about style; worry about results. - Bobby Orr. After taking a 3 to 1 series lead against the Ottawa Senators Wednesday night in Ottawa, the Penguins returned to Pittsburgh to open the doors of the Consol Energy Center to the Sens for Game 5. The Penguins were riding on the momentum of a 7 to 3 victory propelled by a dominating third period while the Senators, for their...
Travis Yost: Fantastic Season Comes to a Close

In the end, the Ottawa Senators were simply out-classed by the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Led by James Neal's hat-trick, Pittsburgh successfully defended home-ice in game five and took care of Ottawa in a relatively quick second-round series.
Ottawa fought, and fought, and fought in this series. But sometimes, the talent disparity...
Penguins Advance To Eastern Conference Finals
With a 6-2 win over the Ottawa Senators, the Pittsburgh Penguins move on to the Eastern Conference Finals.
The Senators had a tough time finding any momentum and now many will ask if Daniel Alfredsson has played his last NHL game.
James Neal scores strange goal against Craig Anderson
During the second period of game five of the Pittsburgh Penguins-Ottawa Senators series, Penguins forward James Neal scored a very strange goal on Senators goalie Craig Anderson. After Neal’s initial shot was stopped by Anderson, Kris Letang picked up the puck and tried to bank it off Anderson. Letang’s shot rolled around and the puck was on edge and got stuck underneath...

Penguins Playoffs: Senators Wounded Animal, or Lame Duck?
Following the Pittsburgh Penguins convincing win over Ottawa Senators in game 4, the Senators looked defeated. Daniel Alfredsson’s comments aside, the overall demeanor and body language spoke of a team ready to wave the white flag. My question to you is can the Sens come back against the Penguins, or have they already given up? [...]
Daniel Alfredsson says comments after Game 4 were taken out of context. ...
Oh hey look Alfie said he his statements about "probably not coming coming back," were taken out of context. [ NESN ]
Alfredsson did say, however, that he wasn’t ready to give up on the team. He reiterated that Thursday, just a few hours after making the postgame comments. “There’s no denying we’re in tough,” Alfredsson said, according to NHL.com’s Arpon...
Senators Head Coach Paul MacLean’s Quickest Press Conference (VIDEO)
As sports fans we all love to see a player or coach’s obnoxious post game interview. We all have the Jim Mora “Playoffs!?!” sound bite in our heads every time we hear the word playoffs. There are over the top rants and then there are ones that are justified. Last night’s post game conference was justified. Ottawa Senators head coach Paul MacLean was frustrated with after...
Ottawa Senators Head Coach Paul MacLean Gives Best News Conference Ever
Let me qualify what I mean by the best news conference ever. It wasn't a ridiculous kind of conference where someone starting shouting he was a man or about the playoffs or any of a number of epic rants that we've enjoyed over the years.
No, this is one that if I was a player for this team or a fan I'd be so pumped up for the next game. Imagine the way you feel every...

Senators-Penguins Preview
Ottawa Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson isn't quite ready for the traditional season-ending handshake.
Yet he knows if the Senators can't find a way to slow down slow down the Pittsburgh Penguins, it's coming soon.
The Penguins grabbed a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinals with a 7-3 rout on Wednesday night, leading Alfredsson to offer Ottawa...
TiqIQ Ticket Preview: Senators vs. Penguins
By Matthew Feuerman of TiqIQ,
Following a 7-3 loss at the hands (or should we say flippers) of the Pittsburgh Penguins Wednesday night, the Ottawa Senators are on their last leg, down 3-1 to arguably the NHL’s top team.
Has the Senators’ luck run out, or did they simply run into an unstoppable force they couldn’t overpower with grit, hustle and focus, similar to how...
Daniel Alfredsson's post-game comments decidedly inappropriate
Wow. This is more than a little awkward. As a hockey player and as a captain, I always assumed it would be impossible to criticize Ottawa Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson. He's the prototypical perfect hockey player, a great team guy... and he just completely threw his whole squad under the bus.
When asked in a media scrum after the Senators' 7-3 loss to the Pittsburgh...
Ottawa Senators season all but over
The Ottawa Senators got lucky to win Game 3 of the best-of-seven series with the Pittsburgh Penguins 2-1 in double overtime after their goalie Craig Anderson put on a show facing 50 shots and still winning the game. In Wednesday night's Game 4, the team representing Canada's capital failed to capitalize on the momentum they had from such an inspiring performance. The Pittsburgh...

Scratch his back with a hacksaw: Penguins broadcaster Mike Lange remains an iconic hockey voice
From Allen Panzeri of the Ottawa Citizen:
Honoured by the Hockey Hall of Fame with the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award in 2001, Lange is an icon in the Steel City, following in the big footprints of Bob Prince, who was the voice of the Pirates for 28 years, and Myron Cope, the colour commentator on Steelers’ radio broadcasts for 25 years.
Lange is so ingrained as the city’s...
Daniel Alfredsson Says ‘Probably Not’ Comments Taken Out of Context Somewhat
Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson isn’t giving up hope just yet, but he certainly knows it won’t be tough for his team to come back in their series with the Penguins.
Alfredsson made news following Game 4 on Wednesday night when he replied with “probably not” after being asked whether or not he thought the Senators could come back and win after being down 3-1 with a 7-3...

MacLean keeps it brief (really brief)
To say that Ottawa Senators head coach Paul MacLean kept things brief after his team was manhandled in a 7-3 loss to Pittsburgh on Wednesday would be an understatement.
MacLean did not take questions from the assembled media after the game, which gave the Penguins a 3-1 series lead. Instead, he issued one quick statement before walking away from the podium in a news conference that...
Daniel Alfredsson’s Post-Game Comments Are Getting Blown Way Out Of Proportion
I really hope Daniel “Probably Not” Alfredsson wins the Mark Messier Leadership award so we can all laugh at that dumb award.
— Bower Power (@So_Truculent) May 23, 2013
The Pittsburgh Penguins are a solid hockey team. They became even more solid when they stopped playing the sieve known as Marc-Andre Fleury after an abysmal first round against the New York Islanders.
The...
HE'S GOOD AT HOCKEY
Crosby toe-drags, scores on backhander
During the third period, Pittsburgh Penguins forward Sidney Crosby showed off his fantastic skill set on this play. He entered the zone, toe-dragged against the Ottawa Senators defenseman Chris Phillips and then pulled the puck to his backhand. He was wide open in front of Craig Anderson and let a sick backhand shot go right under the crossbar into the net. The goal gave the...
Daniel Alfredsson: Senators ‘probably’ can’t come back against Penguins
Ottawa Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson is one of the most well-respected veterans in the NHL. The 40-year-old has more than 400 goals and 1,000 points in his 16-year career. When Alfredsson talks, people listen. That’s what makes his most recent comments such a major concern for Senators fans.
Ottawa dug itself into a 3-1 hole against the Pittsburgh Penguins with an embarrassing...
Daniel Alfredsson loses a skate blade during Game 4 versus Pittsburgh (VIDEO)
YouTube
You hear of hockey players losing “an edge” all the time. Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson lost both edges Wednesday night in Ottawa as his skate blade fell off during Game 4 against the Penguins.
Alfredsson hit Pittsburgh’s Mark Eaton behind the net when the heel of his skate got wedged between the ice and the boards. The blade was knocked right out of his skate...
