  07-10-2017 23:58 via ottawacitizen.com
  Erik Karlsson and the Ottawa Senators have been true to their word.

  “With Oduya missing and Erik missing, we need some NHL experience and Harpur has got that,” Senators coach Guy Boucher said when asked about why the organization didn’t recall top defence prospect Thoma

• Here's what happens when there's an incident involving police

  07-10-2017 15:19 via ottawacitizen.com
  When death or serious injury involving the police occurs, a public outcry and a breakdown in trust often follow.
  When police officers hurt or kill someone, the public, especially visible minorities and Indigenous people, feel vulnerable.
  The police have their own perspective. How the story is reported also has a part to play in the way the general public perceives these incidents. For instance:
  A night out
  Lionel is out with friends.
  It’s late, but his mother is probably fast asleep by now

• New Wellington West restaurant Bar Lupulus set to open with 20 draft beer taps and a Mediterranean-inspired menu

  That was the standing joke after Derick Brassard recorded just his second three-point game for the Ottawa Senators in Thursday’s season opener against the Washington Capitals. The 30-year old veteran skated with the team during camp, but, because of his mending shoulder, didn’t get cleared for contact until the day before the game.
