The Ottawa Senators got back on the winning track in Toronto on Saturday night, crushing the Maple Leafs 5–2 in a game that was not as close as the score would appear.

Drake Batherson and Dylan Cozens each scored twice for the Senators, who moved to within five points of the Boston Bruins for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. We discuss the sheer dominaton of the game, the mini line brawl, the weird offside challenge and more.

In this one, we discuss the Sens' return to action, a 2-1 overtime loss to Detroit. That drops the Sens 7 points out with the trade deadline next Friday. Team USA Olympians keep the momentum going, Brady Tkachuk takes a controversial hit, and a full defensive breakdown in overtime. Arthur Kaliyev is cleared of violating any league policies. And the Sens begin a five game road trip.

In this episode, as we close the book on Olympic hockey talk, we dissect everything about Canada's 2-1 loss to the United States in the gold medal game. We get into all the controversial moments, the missed opportunities and what it means for Senators stars Brady Tkachuk and Jake Sanderson.

After a pair of close calls, Canada will face the USA for gold on Sunday morning. We discuss their path to get here, hoping it goes better than the ladies final. If it doesn't, well, the bars are open, serving booze as early as 6 amCanada overcomes a 2-0 deficit to beat Finland, which is annoyed by a late high sticking call. We get into all the details on that game, plus the wild quarterfinal win over Czechia where Sidney Crosby was hurt. Was that his final Olympic game?Canada's women fell 2-1 to the USA in overtime, after Abby Murphy's obvious hook/hack on the gloves of Darryl Watts. Should 3-on-3 overtime be used to decide the biggest women's hockey game in four years? Or any big game that will eliminate one team?The Senators returned to practice this week and brought up some intriguing names from Belleville to help fill out their practice as they get ready to host Detroit on Wednesday night.

Team Canada is off to a strong start at the Winter Olympics and we break down everything Ottawa Senators fans need to know.

In this episode, we talk about former Senator Mark Stone, the one that got away, looking right at home on hockey’s biggest international stage, and just how ridiculous the skill level is in this best-on-best tournament. From Connor McDavid to Nathan MacKinnon and Macklin Celebrini, the talent on display is off the charts, and Jon Cooper may have found something special with his line combinations.

We also dive into the goaltending storylines, including the rising stock of Jordan Binnington and a strong showing from Logan Thompson, and what it could all mean moving forward. Plus, if the St. Louis Blues decide to move defenceman Colton Parayko, should the Ottawa Senators be in the market?

Other topics include:

• A scary leg injury to Kevin Fiala in the Canada–Switzerland game

• The Olympic tournament format — does it work?

• “Stink-gate” involving the Oshawa Generals

• And one very odd bronze medal celebration in Olympic biathlon

It’s a packed episode with Olympic talk, Sens discussion, and some laughs along the way.
