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!

About me

First of all, let me just say that if you are looking for polished, professional content, you may just want to close this tab and never come on this site again. I swear like a trooper, I use weird British idioms that none of you will probably understand, and a lot of this will be barely coherent rants about how much my favourite ice hockey team stresses me out. In other words, this blog will be as much of a mess as I am. And maybe even as much of a mess as the Ottawa Senators, who knows! Anyway, if you’re still with me, I thought for this intro post it would be easier to write an FAQ-style post, with the theme of hell, because us Sens fans are living in it. Who the hell are you? My name is Kelly, although I often go by Kel, and I’m currently 26. My pronouns are she/her, I’m a vegan, I’m agnostic, I’m unapologetically left wing, and I’m one of those greedy, fiendish, promiscuous bisexuals. I like alternative music and have several tattoos & piercings. I have ADHD so be prepa

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

So about those UFA's...

The past I write this post as we are in the thick of it. And by it, I mean the latest shitstorm of news (or lackthereof) surrounding the Ottawa Senators top three UFA’s- Mark Stone, Matt Duchene and Ryan Dzingel. Unsurprisingly, less than a week before the deadline, we still know absolutely jack shit about what’s going on. Stone was available to extend from January 1st. Stone was previously quoted around that time as saying he expected talks to start within the next couple weeks, meaning January/into February. We heard very little then. Earlier this month we were then told that other teams would be made aware if players were available 10 days before the deadline, or if they were to be remaining Senators. Within that, it was implied we would know a bit more about what was happening then too. We now have less than a week before the trade deadline and not only have none of the UFA’s been signed, but none of them have been traded either. We are just as clueless as we were months ago, and
