To note- Not many beat reporters (if any) still travel with the team so information and updates will be much more limited for the next week and a half outside of what gets said from Sens Communications staff and potentially opponent beat writers

Edit- Ullmark has also been confirmed to be on the trip but not on the ice today

When Brady was drafted my friends and I were driving up to the cottage and my one friend started losing his mind because he hated the pick. Fast forward a year and Brady is this man’s favourite player. But then this summers betrayal lead to this speech and jersey burning.

Man did the jersey burn fast!

Graphs are from Hockey ROI's substack on Elite Exposure and Elite Support. Dunno about how Ash has setup their data when it comes to who has the hardest 5v5 minutes, Pinto being at the bottom when we know he exclusively skates against the opp's top lines at even strength, but I couldn't help but smile seeing these.

These are all last year's numbers (25/26) that I don't think Ash is cooking to match any eye test, although there is no unexpected surprises here, so I'm curious as to what these stats are going to look like this season. Hopefully we'll get another look after the first 20 games but with Zub and Sandy missing so many games I wouldn't expect them to be league leaders, again, any time soon.

Got pulled tonight after the first period. feel bad for him, he got us out of a hole last year but Ranger fans are tearing him apart.

The vast majority of the chants hurled at Brady made sense. He's obviously a traitor and in Matt's shadows. You can also tell he has very little media literacy. However, I still don't get how people came to the conclusion that he eats crayons as a joke.

So Chabot coming back soon, do you take Matinpalo or Yakemchuck out ?

Do you alternate them ?

What do you think will be the best ?

Just curious how you guys feel about where the cap and individual salaries are going. I have concerns about Canadian teams, apart from Toronto. Sandy is going to get 20+ USD, how does Timmy not get the same. How the hell do these markets compete. I wonder how Andlauer is feeling haha. League ran the price up on him and he buys in just before salaries skyrocket. Oh, someone also needs to drop a cool billion on a new rink.

Thank you for your service Reimer 🫡

I got the feeling that one of them meetings this year between the Senators and the Panthers, somebody's gonna drop the gloves with Boss Baby. Who do you think is most likely combatant?

Anyone get one of those hats last night, and not into it?

Would love to get my hands on a couple, one for me one for my son. Send me a DM if you've got one or two you're willing to part with.

Thanks folks. Go Sens!

Good finish at home, California swing to galvanize the boys early in the season.

Pp needs some serious work...
