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...

The Senators Shitshow: Part 1

So let me just start by saying that this post was never meant to be split into parts, however so much has happened surrounding the Senators that I felt it necessary to divide up the work. Nobody wants to read a blog post longer than the Nile. I know I'm late to the party here with this but I'm usually late to every other party I go to anyway so might as well stay on brand here. I also only made this blog a few months ago so cut me some slack okay? A lot has changed since the ECF in 2017, and these past few years have been a wild ride. It seemed that on occasion, everything was quiet, and then at others it was just one shitstorm after another. Now I'd like to point out that while some of these stories are funny, some of them are serious or even genuinely heartbreaking. I do not want it to come across like I am making light of these situations. The tragic stories have been included in this post because I still want to keep this factual and also don't want to ignore the...
