    Perfect Start For Team Canada; Parayko Would Look Great In Ottawa

    Team Canada is off to a strong start at the Winter Olympics and we break down everything Ottawa Senators fans need to know. In this episode, we talk about former Senator Mark Stone, the one that got away, looking right at home on hockey’s biggest international stage, and just how ridiculous the skill level is in this best-on-best tournament. From Connor McDavid to Nathan MacKinnon and Macklin Celebrini, the talent on display is off the charts, and Jon Cooper may have found something special with his line combinations. We also dive into the goaltending storylines, including the rising stock of Jordan Binnington and a strong showing from Logan Thompson, and what it could all mean moving forward. Plus, if the St. Louis Blues decide to move defenceman Colton Parayko, should the Ottawa Senators be in the market? Other topics include: A scary leg injury to Kevin Fiala in the Canada–Switzerland game The Olympic tournament format — does it work? “Stink-gate” involving the Oshawa Generals And one very odd bronze medal celebration in Olympic biathlon It’s a packed episode with Olympic talk, Sens discussion, and some laughs along the way.

    Hope Check at the Break: Five Games to Decide the Ottawa Senators’ Deadline Plan

    In this episode of the Jim Keay Ford Sens Nation Podcast, the Senators hit the Olympic break on a heater (5 wins in 6), and suddenly the hope meter is back on the table. Steve Warne and “The Coach” Gregg Kennedy break down what’s real, what’s fool’s gold, and why Ottawa’s improved shot suppression has changed the conversation.They debate the brutal late line change vs. Carolina (and who wears it), gush over Tim Stützle’s ridiculous three-zone motor, and ask the big question: with only five games left before the March 6 trade deadline, what should Steve Staios do, buy, sell, or stand pat?Plus: why right-shot defence is priority #1, what a “seller’s market” could look like, listener poll reactions (including the Jesper Wallstedt dream), and a quick detour into Olympic ceremony gripes, All-Star skills done properly, and Steve's debut on a Super Bowl commercial.

    James Reimer Calms the Chaos, Sanderson Insults Merilainen, and Ridly is Rolling

    The Senators’ goaltending has struggled all season, but James Reimer has already brought a little calm to the storm. Reimer stepped up and helped deliver three of a possible four points, including a rock-solid performance in Columbus. It’s still early, but for the first time all season, there’s a (knock on wood) sense of comfort in the crease. We also dive into Jake Sanderson’s candid comments about Leevi Merilainen, touching on whether it's a problem or not. Where Merilainen is mentally as he continues to learn, and what his long-term future with the Senators could look like. Plus, Ridly Greig is quietly becoming impossible to ignore. With 6 points in his last 4 games, Greig is bringing: Snarl and edge, Legit skill and vision, and a team-first mentality that teammates love. Let’s break it all down.
