• Redblacks surge in second half to beat Lions

  08-10-2017 05:06 via ottawacitizen.com
  Redblacks 30, Lions 25
  VANCOUVER — After a sluggish first half, the Ottawa Redblacks turned up the heat on the B.C. Lions on Saturday night and showed something we’ve seen glimpses of this season.
  An explosive offence combined with a tenacious and opportunistic defence turned what looked like it would be yet another deflating defeat into a huge victory, a 30-25 nailbiter. 
  With the Hamilton Tiger-Cats coming off a win against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Friday, the Redblacks ne

  Red Wings 2, Senators 1 (SO)
  Detroit Red Wings netminder Jimmy Howard won the goaltenders’ duel Saturday as the Ottawa Senators dropped their second consecutive shootout to open the season.
  Howard was perfect in the shootout, while Frans Nielsen was the lone Red Wings shooter to score in the penalty shot competition, allowing the Red Wings to skate out of the Canadian Tire Centre with a 2-1 win.
  Once again, the Senators had their chances to put the game away in overtime. The Senators faile

• Brennan: At least Senators take away a point from dud of a game

  08-10-2017 04:58 via ottawacitizen.com
  Five months and one day after the last real Saturday night National Hockey League game in Ottawa, things looked completely different at Canadian Tire Centre.
  And we’re not just talking about the tarped-off sections in the upper bowl.
  Way back on May 6, Kyle Turris scored at 6:28 of overtime to give the Senators an exciting 5-4 victory over the New York Rangers and a 3-2 series lead in the Eastern Conference semifinal.
  By comparison, the most recently completed Senators-Detroit Red Wings ga

• Does CFL playoff system need reboot? B.C. coach Wally Buono thinks so

  08-10-2017 03:17 via ottawacitizen.com
  VANCOUVER — Year after year, it seems like West is best and East is least, at least in the Canadian Football League regular season.
  Take a look at the standings. Toronto (7-8-0) leads the East with a sub-.500 record. The two bottom teams, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Montreal Alouettes, have a combined seven wins. The West’s top two teams, the Calgary Stampeders and Winnipeg Blue Bombers, have a combined 22 wins, more than the entire East Division. And, remember, the Ottawa Redblacks

• Senators go with experience, recalling Ben Harpur over Thomas Chabot

  08-10-2017 00:52 via ottawacitizen.com
  The Ottawa Senators say Thomas Chabot had a “great” game in his pro debut, a 3-0 loss Friday during which the organization’s most precious prospect was a minus-2 while recording five shots on goal.
  Either way, Chabot wasn’t going to be recalled when Ottawa needed a defenceman for Saturday’s game against the Detroit Red Wings. Instead, the more seasoned Ben Harpur was summoned from the farm team with Johnny Oduya ruled out because of a lower body injury.

• Sniper Mike Hoffman is not one of the Senators' top shootout choices

  08-10-2017 00:37 via ottawacitizen.com
  Mike Hoffman is the Ottawa Senators’ top goal scorer over the past three seasons, and he’s the author of the nicest breakaway move in franchise history. So where does it all put him on the team’s shootout depth chart?
  Not very high, that’s where.
  “Hoff is not a shootout guy,” head coach Guy Boucher said Saturday morning, roughly 36 hours after the Senators fumbled away a point in a shootout loss to the Washington Capitals. “He’s got a great shot, (

• Waiting on the Matt Duchene trade takes great patience

  Matt Duchene is still wearing No. 9 for the Colorado Avalanche.
  The question is: For how much longer?
  The betting money during the off-season was the disgruntled centre would already have a new National Hockey League home, but the situation hasn’t been normal since Avalanche general manager Joe Sakic started listening to offers for Duchene nearly two years ago.
  As many as eight teams have held talks with the Avalanche about Duchene, including the Columbus Blue Jackets, Ottawa Senators, Mon
