And here I was, going to write about how much I hate the long layoff between Sens games. It wasn't because I don't get to watch my favorite hockey team play for awhile. No. It's because everything that's written about the Ottawa Senators is the same.
I had these two introductory sentence all typed out.
Were you aware that Jason Spezza had zero goals so far this season? Were you also aware that he's become a much better defensive player?
If you answered no to either of those questions then today's your lucky fucking day.
Consequently, I was all set to make fun of the numerous local articles that articulated that Spezza's defensive prowess made up for the fact that he wasn't producing. And then I was set to make fun of the non-local commentary that was opining his lack of production. I even had the links and headlines all typed up and ready to go.
And then Bryan Murray had to go out and resign Matt Carkner to a new two-year contract extension. (Ed. note: The Ottawa Citizen has revealed that the terms of the deal are two years, $1.4M total.) If this wasn't interesting enough, things only got better when two of the local Sens bloggers got into a dispute on Twitter.
In one corner, Sens Chirp. In the other, The Universal Cynic, Erin Nicks. Sit back and enjoy the fireworks. And while you're at it, start following The 6th Sens on Twitter.
Nicks is such a curmudgeon, just trying to pre-hate on the Sens so that if they play into a slump then she will at least have the satisfaction of being right to console herself. So transparent.

your site gets a lot of additional hits off me because i use your blogroll on the right side of the page to check out if some of the better blogs have been updated. last night i mistakenly clicked on TUC thinking it was five for smiting (it was late). i read the latest post and was shocked at how bad it was. one of the worst blogs ive ever read. she noted how the sens were "sitting atop the Northwestern conference" in the first paragraph and the rest was pure shit as well, except for maybe the last part about carbonneau.
carkners deal is good for everyone. he gets the opportunity to be a full-time nhler and its about as low risk of a contract a club can hand out. not really diggin the steve perry nickname though. i think you can do better.

ok so i just watched the embedded youtube vid and i think im taking back what i just said and am officially on board with anything journey related. the unintentional and intentional comedy potential is off the charts right now. i think they have a song called "no" or something but i remember someone redid the video for that scene-for-scene and its pretty funny.
