The NHL Is Not Ready. 

Also, didn't even mention Claude Giroux! Who I think is still a great player. Does Ottawa make the playoffs this year? How far do they get?

I’m an Oilers/Canucks fan but even I’m tired of seeing the sens being completely forgotten about all the time. I wish nothing but the best for that team, really hope they can make a playoff spot this time around

Don't sleep on my boy Giroux, the ageless wonder.

Nice to see other hockey fans taking notice of the Sens. THANK YOU

As a Sabres fan, this excites me. Buffalo and Ottawa could be running this division in a couple of seasons like it's the mid-2000s again.

Seeing as how many people doubt us, I really appreciate the confidence. This team is gonna be good for a long time.

Brooo thats crazy i made that crying Jordan meme years ago

Finally someone giving the Sens the love they deserve. Most underrated team in the league.

Sanderson, Stutzle and Tarasenko are determined to end Ottawa's playoff drought. I like to hear that and I really hope they make a difference this year. From a fan who has Ottawa as his 3rd favorite Canadian team, GO SENS GO!!

It's been a long time coming. Pierre built and signed a great core. But most of all...Leafs suck.

To have our entire core locked up for 4+ seasons is great they just need to go out there and do it they are built for the playoffs on paper really hope they get there cause I think they'd be such a fun team to watch in the postseason

I’m jealous what a great team in the making wow

A Player....On Ottawa...A YOUNG player on Ottawa...Saying We are going to win and they WANT to be here...Weird Times Weird Weird Fantastic Times. I have a very short leash on my patience with Smith this season but have all the confidence in the young guys to get it done and with the Core Top 4 Defence set and locked up long term the time to shore up the backend is NOW. Im praying They and Korp can shut it down this year and years to come.

I am not even going out on a limb when I say Ottawa will win a cup before the Leafs do again!

Call me crazy but I would bet on them to end the Canadian team not winning curse before any of the other teams

Wait till you see Zub...he's jacked this year...went hard training this summer

I agree this roster is incredibly deep once eveyrthing falls into place, they will be dangerous

This video had me giddy. great work JH. Thanks for the Sens love!

Yes the NHL is not ready for nhl 25

Remember not so long ago they couldn't hold onto anybody. Now they got Chabot, Tkachuk, Sanderson, Norris and Stützle all long term

Been waiting for a video like this a for a while from ANYONE. Thank you for putting respect on their name, Go Sens Go!

I love the Sens so I'm super happy to see they've locked down a solid core. Here's hoping we get a playoff run this year so that the team looks appealing enough for future free agents.

love your vids glad to see some sens hype!

If the Sens played every team like the play the Leafs they'd win the Cup. They have the guys, they have the D, now they have the goaltending. Put that together and I can see both Ottawa and Buffalo making the playoffs

Sens are going to take big steps these next few seasons

You forgot G!

I predicted Ottawa to finish second this upcoming season. I’m very high on them. They just have to have a good start as the past like 5 seasons they’ve had terrible starts to their season. But they have arguably one of the best top 4 D in the league. An excellent top 9. Serviceable goaltenders. I don’t see why not.

As wings fan I hate the sens but he they look like there going to be sick. I really like how they built there team and it sucks getting passed by every team that started rebuild after us

Timmy S. is a certified beautician. Kid's got some sick skill & deadly vision. Ottawa/Buffalo/Detroit are gonna turn some heads & rattle some cages this season.

Glad seeing pinto getting recognition. Grew up in the same town dudes a beauty

Would be great to have playoff hockey back in town

How can this kid say ottawa always disappoints? In the past 20 years Ottawa and Vancouver have had the most playoff success of any Canadian teams.

thank you for the Sens love, dont hear enough of it from none Sens fans

That would be awesome for the sens. I am a hawks fan but i try to watch all the Canadian teams. I think the sens should make a new bad ass sweater. I think theres a lot of potential with it.

On paper sens are really good let’s see if they can show that on the ice

i know shane pinto irl so the reference made me happy

"Tampa is still cup contender" "Florida will be dangerous" "Leafs are insane this year" "NHL is not ready for Senators" "Buffalo is really strong this year" "Trust in Yzerman, Dertoid will be strong" "Montreal has a really young team that can surprise NHL" "Boston? They will be terrible this year" I´m getting deja vu from last year's pre-session :D

Sens are scary for the next few years.

Got a sub from me! Go Sens Go!

I was always curious when the Sens joined the NHL how many of the fans in the greater Ottawa area remained either Toronto or Habs fans given the city is right smack in the middle of the other two, who also happen to be 2 of the Original-6, therefore we're talking about the original fanbases in all of hockey so it musta been tough to just let go of those generational allegiances just because of geography???

Still weird to see G in a different sweater. I miss him but love the return tippet is going to bust out this season

Been waiting on the sens talk. This team will make the playoffs this year mark my word

I agree with you! Ottawa need to set the bar this season. All other team slacking are going to be BEHIND. It will also proove new owners motivations!

Yeah Ottowa are major underdogs this year, and I think they like the idea of proving some people wrong.

Another banger

i think they make it next year, i think the division is just too stacked, but next year it'll be calmed down a bit

As a Giroux, Giroux is still a star Ottawa has a great line up

Agree. They rebuilt properly. This will allways be the case for a bad team who quietly drafts high for many years eventually they have. Good young team. That’s how you win in this league. It’s how Tampa was built, Pittsburg. Every team that has won in the last 20 years was rebuilt properly.. I wish Vancouver could have been rebuilt. What a dumpster fire

My impressions are Boston, Toronto, Tampa and Ottawa (not necessarily in that order) are the four teams that are going to make the playoffs in the Atlantic division. Despite losing Bergeron and Krejci up front, Boston still has grade A offensive players in Pastrnak, Marchand, and DeBrusk, a solid system, and a tremendously strong defense and goaltending duo. On the other end, Florida has no defense and I don't think Bobrovsky is going to goal on his head like he did in the playoffs last year. Great playoff in 2023, but I think this team is going to have a very average season.

im just afraid dj smith is holding us back

im all for this

Totally agree. OTT fans are in for an exciting seadon

OTTAWA LOVE LESGOO

Agree on all points. I don't give the Sens one single second thought not even for a millisecond, but on paper they're a major force. But the hockey world said that about Calgary 2 summers ago when Calgary sold the farm to make the trades they did. I'm also not a Calgary fan, but giving D. Sutter the boot will put Calgary back on track to start sniping the back of the net again. Five or 6 guys on Calgary no longer have to be gripping their sticks so hard and worried about Sutter running them over with his tractor. Last year Calgary was #1 in the league for talent and egregious missed opportunities. Edmonton would have went on to win Lord Stanley last year had they sneaked past Vegas. Edmonton can blame 3 players for their play off loss: RNH, Hyman, and Skinner - monster studs in the regular season, dead end zero production duds in the playoffs, adding below 900 goaltending to the mix. Edmonton hasn't solved any of their problems....why? All their problems are defense. Nurse is the Worse. Nuff said about Nurse. Skinner and Campbell have to pull their weight with a minimum 910,915 SV% the entire year with no dips, because Edmonton has no idea how to defend. Edmonton's 5 on 5 might be an improvement if Brown works out and stays healthy. All the teams that sucked last year will improve marginally this year, and all the teams that were great last will be a virtual wash...none of the great teams last year will run away with anything this year...all will be same old same old. The blood boiling attitude the Oilers have right now may get them into the WCF this year, but if you can't defend and make momentum changing saves..keep dreaming about Lord Stanley Edmonton... ain't gonna happen. Mentally, Boston is still absolutely exhausted and gassed from last year. Boston isn't going anywhere this year. Bedard is gonna get hit hard in the first 2 or 3 games of the regular season when his head is down and get a welcoming message from someone who can't stand cocky rookie #1 draft super stars. There's always one guy in the league who goes after #1 drafts on the ice. The NHL separates the men from the boys....big time so keep your head up Bedard. Bottom line? No one is running away with anything this year. The standings across the league will be jam packed..again separated by 1 or 2 points again. What Boston achieved last year will not be seen again for years if not decades. The key to any team in the NHL is staying healthy. Injuries are so rampant now in the NHL they mine as well call it the Not Healthy League. Buckle up, it's anybody's guess who will win Lord Stanley this year. I say anybody's guess, because of so many great teams Seattle kicked to the side of the road all year long last year including the playoffs. Can Seattle be consistent and repeat their burn it all down attitude this year? Who the f*** knows. You can give all kinds of acronyms when it comes to the NHL. But the best 2 acronyms are easily, especially when it comes to the teams themselves...Now Hot League and Not Hot League. No one knows who will get hot at the right time in the NHL.

💯% agree

okay fine oilers/sens final this year to break the curse then please let my red wings sit at the table

I don’t understand why people are so down on the Sens. We were 6 points out of the playoffs and AHL goalies started 26 games for us…

Let’s do this Ottawa!! Gary, pleas move over.

You forgot about Kubalik

Calling it now. The top 3 of the Atlantic this year will be Toronto, Buffalo, and Ottawa in that order.

Yessir already took the sens to make playoffs (+125) and a sprinkle on them to win the Atlantic (+1000)

I don’t know anything about the ‘24 draft class but another high end prospect wouldn’t hurt

Let's make two finals showings in a third of the time since th leafs did

The real question for the Sens right now: will we see injuries for the 7-8years in a row in the rookies' tournament/pre-season games against MTL. I hope not of course. But it's slowly becoming a canadian tradition

damn, Vladdy catching strays(which he actually might have a hard time doing)

Heard this last year when they got debrincat and giroux

as vladdy hit one of the biggest hits of the season good job for breaking his slump

I’m expecting huge things from the Senators. They have great coaching and development. Tampa and Boston will be falling off and I expect Ottawa and Buffalo to challenge both this season.

Yea the Sens future is looking good as long as their General Management doesn't shit the bed here on out

Wade redden sees this as an absolute win 💯

Ottawa would he a very good playoff team. Just need to make it there first.

Ottawa has some really nice forwards (though I think you've overrated a few here) but I really don't see their defense being stacked. Sanderson is a fine young player, but he's not hte stud everyone wants to annoint him as yet (his contract is a gamble, but odds are a smart one with a rising cap). Chabot hasn't been very good on his big deal. Zub had a bit of a breakout season 2 years ago and came back to earth a bit last year. Brannstrom hasn't really shown much progress considering what expectations were/are for him. Chrychrun might be their best if he can stay healthy. They should be better, and some guys will no doubt grow, but they I think people need to temper expectations a bit. Their only really solid defensive player among the 6 is Hamonic and his best days are well behind him. All this said, I am not an Ottawa fan, but I have nothing against them either; I hope they make the playoffs.

Sens on paper are a very good team. Can they put it all together? That the real question.

Next 4 years they will get a xup

The Sens are too good to fail. I expected them already last year in the playoffs. This is a coming cup contender, no doubt about that!

we can use some more fans . join the team . we need a good group of canadian bois when we win the cup

Josh norris would’ve put up 40

I like it. Riddler is going to be good but a top third line player in the nhl is a little bit of a reach for me

Ottawa has gotten off to some really bad starts the last few seasons, I am gonna predict the same thing is gonna happen. I also predict that DJ Smith will be fired by American Thanksgiving and that Gerad Galliant will be hired as head coach. Hoping the Sens can get into the playoffs, really fun team to watch when there rolling.

Sens lead the league in fighting majors in 2023. That at least tells me these guys are willing to get nasty for wins. Best wishes for 2023-2024 boys.....

WOOHOO

It’s a league where a last place team can roll a first place team on any given night. The nhl is ready for anything lol

You can't really call guys like Sanderson and Chychrun "American" players in the sense that they are completely foreign to Canada or that it's a wonder they would ever sign there. Some American born players have parents that played on American teams and happened to be born in the USA but have tons of family in Canada and likely spent a lot of time visiting there growing up. Some others like Tkachuk however, yea it is great they decided to sign here long term.

👍

🚨Hot Take🚨 Sens break the streak of Canadian Teams not winning the cup.

Lmao it’s the part of the season where sens fans convince themselves that their gonna make the playoffs again love it

Jake's my 2nd cousin lol

P.Kane would be better & I'd be satisfied( from a Hawks fan perspective)if he went w/ Ottawa over Detroit. It's not right to be a historic🏆 legend in *Chicago & get winged out into retirement in the Motor City if he chooses. Sad

They could win this year.

Wake up all you non believers!!! You're Go#amn right the Sens are here!!! GO SENS GO!!!

Yeahhh buuut Batherson might be taking a season off, no?

Their weakest link might the coach tbh

Ottawa is now able to sign their american (and european) stars to long term contract. The trick? Give the money sooner because RFA is always a risk.

Still need a coach.

He's not coming anymore 💀💀💀

Habs fan here. Send are defenitley looking scary. Still think goaltending is a ?. If you think the sens are soooo great now can't wait to see your complimentary videos about the CH in a couple years. Say what you want about Chabot and Sanderson but MTL will have the best D corps in the league soon. Little bit more experience and they're definitely going to be able to shut down sens. I watched Batherson at the ciha academy here in Rockland (he played and lived here) he will be a solid 3rd or 4th liner. Mtl has one of if not the best prospect pools in the league!!! Hopefully Ottawa can make something happen in the next 2-3 yrs. If not, I just think MTL will leapfrog them. I think the sens can make something happen but it needs to be soon. Florida, detroit, buffalo are all gonna be competitive. The games against the habs and leafs won't be easy. Tampa isn't dead yet....it needs to be in the next three yrs. Before Buffalo, Detroit and Mtl start taking over. If you're being honest these teams have better prospect pools, better talent coming up the pipeline. The sens are stacked for NOW!!! We haven even mentioned that once they get to playoffs, you have carolina, new jersey, rangers, even the islanders deserve a bit of respect. I don't see Ottawa beating carolina or the rangers in playoffs. I haven't brought up the retirement home teams in Pittsburgh and Washington lol lol. Send can definitely do something. But it need to be SOON!!!!

Isn't batherson in the hockey Canada crap?

Bust

Vladddddy 🐦

tampa is not a powerhouse anymore
