An update...

Hey everyone!
Just a quick update.

This blog is very much alive and as am I- and I'm sorry I haven't posted a lot.
Truth is, for a few months I've very much been struggling with my mental and physical health, and these struggles have really manifested in me having no energy and not wanting to do anything.
I've been really stresssed with work as well, and honestly have felt like I've been going through the motions a lot, just trying to get through each day.
However, the past few weeks have been actually wonderful and I'm finally feeling motivated, I'm feeling refreshed, and I'm actually getting to rest a bit and have some me time.


I'm in the process of moving to a new flat where I can tidy and not live in a cluttered mess, and I'm also going to have a nice desk for once that I can actually sit at to blog. I'll be getting a new laptop soon and I'm going to get a more compact one so I can blog on the go more as well. I've started organising myself more and actually planning posts better with the help of the books I've bought thanks to my stationary addiction.

There's also a new season to dread look forward to in a few months, and I now have a boyfriend who wants me to teach him all about ice hockey! We watched the IIHF final together, which he really enjoyed, and has asked if we can go to some EIHL games this year and watch some Sens games together. Yes, he's going to be a Sens fan. Thanks to a twitter poll, you sick bastards decided he's got to suffer with the rest of us- I might post about his reactions to his first Sens game.
Hey, maybe one day I'll be able to actually explain goaltender inference to him (that's if anyone figures that out).

Finally, there will be stuff coming soon! I'm finally sorting my end of season review and also a mammoth post regarding how bizarre the situation around this team has been for the past 18 or so months.

Watch this space and don't forget about me like the Sens forgot what defence was this year!

The Part 3 that never was (a recap, a review, a resurgence)

So a little while ago I promised you all that you'd get a part three, an ending to the 2021-22 season that would have me explain my predictions, hopes and expectations for the 2022-23 season. However, due to having a really busy personal life, that plan all went a bit tits up. Some days, I just feel like life doesn't stop. And when it does, I'm usually flopped on the sofa binge watching TV shows that came out several years ago that I'd never got around to watching.  Ironic now that I am now here, where I have finally got around to writing (once again) about our Ottawa Senators. We are over the halfway point of the season now and speeding toward the trade deadline. This season so far has brought so many mixed feelings for me, and I expect that to continue. I think part of the reason I feel this way is because the aims for the team have changed. We should be coming out of a rebuild now. We used to be so down bad that we clung to anything remotely entertaining that would b...

Three UFA's, three weeks later.

With the trade deadline having passed three weeks ago now, I've decided to finally collect my thoughts on what happened, with a special mention to, sorry, review of, Pierre Dorion's fucking awful TSN1200 interview. I'm sorry for the delay with this post, I've had a lot going on and it's been hard to concentrate on writing. But here we go. Content warning here- if you aren't okay with swearing and anger, stop reading here because I AM PISSED OFF. The trades. So the Ottawa Senators actually went and set the whole bloody thing alight. They almost blew it up even. The Canadian Tire (fire) Centre is standing proud and tall in Kanata amongst the charred remains of the hockey team that just under two years ago were a goal away from the Stanley Cup Final. In June we shipped out Hoffman, September we lost Karlsson, and now Duchene, Dzingel & Stone are all gone. In this post I'm not really going to discuss the players we sent to other teams because...

2018/2019: a brief overview

It's over. It's finally freaking over. Another shitshow of a season is done and dusted for the Sens. July 1st is over, the craziness has settled for now and thus begins a very boring two and a bit months. As sad as I am that I don't get to watch or keep an eye on my (albeit begrudgingly) favourite hockey team until September, there is somehow a sense of relief. No longer do we have a feeling of dread knowing that each game we play will probably be horrendous- well, at least not for the foreseeable future. Overview Just when we thought things couldn't get any worse after the 2017/18 season, the Sens decided to trade almost all of their good players, finish even lower than before, and cock up a deal that would've got us a downtown arena. The Belleville Sens season was also over in April, after they failed to reach the Calder cup playoffs. They lost to Rochester, and because Cleveland destroyed Toronto, we watched the Monsters leapfrog Belleville in ...
