Including the biggest news of the week, Travis Green hired to be the next head coach of the Ottawa Senators! McLennan, who has been a long-time friend of Green, breaks down what he expects the new coach to bring to Ottawa's bench and why it may be a successful hire for the team.
After that, they shift to the offseason outlook and what this roster needs to look like next season. Talking about how adding to the depth of the team is a must-have after this offseason is finished. Before finally switching to the goaltending. With McLennan being a former NHL goalie himself, he has a unique perspective on just what went wrong this season.
Alex is back with some more Ottawa Senators related content. Today, Kevin Lee makes his yearly return to the podcast for the yearly edition of Ottawa Senators Season player grades! The two have been doing this for three years now. It is a simple concept, taking each player and giving them a letter grade.
This is based off of expectations heading into the year, results vs those expectations, and the overall feeling of the season. Alex and Kevin break down each player on the Sens roster, and a common theme starts to emerge. Despite what can only be described as a disappointing year, a lot of the player groups have relatively good grades. However, that all changes when they get to the goaltending. On top of talking about the season, the guys look forward to what may be needed this offseason. Can they keep one goalie the same? What about both? All of this is discussed, and more!
Alex is back with an extended episode this week! Today, Gabriel Foley joins him to break down the 2024 NHL Playoffs. The guys go series by series and give their thoughts on all 16 teams and what may have them succeed or fail in this playoff push. Breaking down the goaltending, defence, and forwards and trying to pinpoint what they key matchups of each series may be.
Alex and Gabe start with the Eastern Conference, in what they feel may be a lacklustre Metro division. However, the Atlantic Division playoff matchups are shaping up to be very good. From there, they bounce to the Western Conference. Looking at the four teams that are not confirmed matchups yet, although all of them will be apart of the 2024 NHL Playoffs. They then end with the two matchups that are set in the West. Finally, both the guys give their Stanley Cup pick.
Alex is back with a second episode this week! Today, he is joined by Brandon Plant of SENS TALK. Together, the two take a look at the Ottawa Senators final stretch of the season. Breaking down Ottawa's recent games, and some of the new players they have brought into the team. However, they take a much larger view overall of the season and what needs to change heading into the upcoming offseason.
Focusing on goalies first, and just how much they have hurt the team. Then switching their focus to what to do with the roster this offseason. Some big moves need to be made, and what should they do to re-shape the roster? Alex mentions how depth needs to be a priority, and the team should move away from bug name hunting.
Alex is back with another episode and today, Hunter Hodies makes his return to the podcast! Together, the two discuss the race for NHL Playoffs and the final wild-card spot. Hunter covers the Pittsburgh Penguins so the two start there, with a discussion about what has led to this incredible season turnaround from Pittsburgh.
They also discuss if having the tougher schedule could actually be viewed as an advantage for teams that are pushing for the playoffs. After that, they shift to the other teams in the hunt for the playoffs and discuss who they would like to see the most. Finally, they wrap it up with a discussion about if it would be better to play the Carolina Hurricanes or the New York Rangers in the first round.
Alex is back with another episode, and the second of this week! After reviewing the Ottawa Senators deadline specifically, he turns to the NHL Trade Deadline as a whole and breaks down every single move. This content used to be on the MnM Hockey Podcast, which is currently on a break. So, Alex is talking both Sens and NHL here for the time being!
Starting in the Eastern Conference, it felt like the teams out East did a lot less big swinging than their counterparts in the West. Alex names a few teams in the Atlantic that went for small upgrades over spending large amounts. While also looking at one Metro team that did make some bigger moves.
He then changed to the Western Conference where a handful of teams decided to get better. Maybe the most notorious of all is Vegas, which once again seems to be up to some salary cap manipulation. Alex gives his thoughts on what they are doing and why teams shouldn't be angry.
Alex is back with another episode of the Last Word on Sens Podcast! After a very tough stretch of games, there was lots of intrigue surrounding the Ottawa Senators NHL Trade deadline. However, the week itself ended up being very quiet for the team. What does that mean for the Sens? To break this down, Brandon Piller makes his return to the podcast!
Together, the guys talk about the lack of action from the Senators this week and whether they were surprised, disappointed, or OK with that. They also discuss what the long-term outlook of the team is and what they should be looking for as the year continues to roll on.
Next, they look at a waiver claim the team made, as well as one that the team decided not to make and give their thoughts on the impact of that. Before finally diving into the Vladimir Tarasenko trade and its return. Discussing the highs and lows of emotion when seeing the trade and the initial return. Before talking through the thought process as to what led to such a disappointing return.
Alex is back and going solo this week. Since recording before the Allstar break, lots has taken place. Today, Alex looks at the recent stretch of Ottawa Senators play and whether or not is an actual improvement. Leaning on the article that was published this week.
From there, he talks about how inconsistent this team continues to be and why that is costing them games. From the goaltending to the defence, this team doesn't seem capable of keeping it together at times. Alex also gives his thoughts on the Morgan Rielly and Ridly Greig situation from the other week, mentioning he feels it may have been over-covered.
Finally, he takes a quick look at some potential NHL Trade Deadline pieces for Ottawa. And makes a take for why this recent good stretch should make Staios and crew more willing to sell off pieces, not less.
Alex is back with another episode of the Last Word on Sens Podcast! Today, Jacob Billington joins him as the two have lots to discuss. They start by discussing the recent run of play from this Ottawa Senators team and why it has resulted in more points. From there, they discuss how they may attack the NHL Trade Deadline and what the most important thing for this team is going forward.
They break down where they see names such as Vladimir Tarasenko, Joshua Norris, and Thomas Chabot fitting into the roster long-term. As well as breaking down the early returns of Shane Pinto and what he has brought to the team. They wrap things up by examining what has led to this team underperforming again and what a new management and ownership group can do to help prevent it from happening going forward.
