Chris Phillips

**Chris Phillips** was a defenseman for the Ottawa Senators from 1996 to 2015. He was drafted first overall in the 1996 NHL Entry Draft. Chris Phillips holds the record for the most games played by an Ottawa Senator at 1179, one more than Daniel Alfredsson. A stay-at-home defenseman, Phillips earned the nickname "Big Rig" for his physical and defensive style of play. Following his retirement in 2016, Chris Phillips shifted his focus from defenseman to restaurateur. His jersey number (4) was retired by the Ottawa Senators on February 18th, 2020.

### Career

A superstar junior defenseman and two time World Junior gold medalist with team Canada, Chris Phillips was drafted first overall by the Ottawa Senators in the 1996 NHL Draft.[1] He played his first game in the 1997-98 season, playing 72 games and scoring 16 points. At times he was played as a forward. He scored his first NHL goal in his eleventh game in a 5-2 Senators victory over the Florida Panthers. Phillips continued his solid and steady defensive play for the following years, earning a reputation as a defensive stalwart.

Phillips most memorable goal (against a another team) would come in overtime of game six of the eastern conference finals against the New Jersey Devils.[2] Phillips drove the net and cleaned up Hossa's rebound to force a seventh and final game, which the Senators eventually lost.

Over the coming years, Phillips and his defensive partner/second goalie Anton Volchenkov[3] would establish themselves as one of the top shut-down defensive parings in the league.

Chris Phillips most infamous play came in game five of the Stanley Cup Finals against the Anaheim Ducks. Phillips would get tangled up with Sens goalie Ray Emery and score an own goal,[4] giving the Ducks a 3-1 lead near the end of the second period. Phillips own goal (credited to Travis Moen) would eventually prove to be the game winning goal, and hence the Stanly Cup winning goal for the Anaheim Ducks. This marks the first time an own goal won a Stanley Cup, evidently the most Sens thing to ever happen to the Sens.

Over the coming years Phillips would wear the A on his jersey as an alternate captain to Alfredsson, Spezza, and Karlsson. Curtis Lazar briefly lived with Chris Phillips during his time with the Senators.[5] Because of the age difference between the two, an inside joke developed among the fandom and players that Phillips and Lazar had a father-son relationship. He played his last game on February 5th, 2015, and retired in May 2016. His jersey number (4) was retired by the Ottawa Senators on February 18th, 2020 - only the second modern Sens player to have his jersey retired (the other being Alfredsson).[6]

### The Big Rig Brewery

In 2012, Chris Phillips shifted his focus to the restaurant and brewing business. Phillips opened up the Big Rig Kitchen & Brewery in the west-end of Ottawa, and began developing his own brand of craft beer named after his nickname, the Big Rig Brew.
Spartacat

Spartacat is the mascot of the Ottawa Senators. Nicknamed "Sparty," he is a mainstay at all Senators games, and an active member of the Ottawa community, attending most Sens charity events. He made his debut on October 8th, 1992.

He is a kind and generous soul, as evidenced by that time he released a better Black Lives Matter statement than the one the official Senators account put out. He is also widely believed to be quite shy and sensitive, a more subdued personality than other NHL mascots, to match his role as a representative of Ottawa.

During the 1992/93 season, the man in the Sparty suit was an American citizen named Dean who was illegally crossing Lake Ontario in a boat in order to get to work.
Ubergate

On October 29 or 30, 2018, seven[1] members of the Ottawa Senators were surreptitiously recorded in an Uber in Pheonix, Arizona. Present on video were, Matt Duchene, Chris Wideman, Thomas Chabot, Chris Tierney, Colin White, and Alex Formenton.

The five-minute long video featured the players discussing the state of the team's defense over the first few weeks of the season and featured some strong language about members of the coaching staff, namely Martin Raymond. Raymond was the assistant coach in charge of penalty kills. “Marty Raymond, the only coach in NHL history to have the worst power-play and the worst PK within a calendar year," was one quote from Matt Duchene.

The scandal also prompted the first use of the phrase "Fuckin' Rights Melo" by Wideman doing an impression of Marty Raymond praising defenceman Dylan DeMelo.

The Ottawa Sun was the first media source to report the existence of the video, who ran it despite the team reportedly asking the outlet not to. It is for this reason the article's by-line read 'staff reporter' instead of attributing it to any specific journalist.

The video led to the dismissal from Uber of the driver responsible for recording the players and led to weeks of top-tier memeage from members of Sens Twitter as well as fueling speculation that that team's dressing room was a tire fire.

The Ottawa Senators currently have a partnership with Lyft.

In July 2021, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic did a follow up article with Chris Wideman regarding the Uber video and its repercussions on his career.

Ray Emery

Ray Emery and a fan.

**Ray Emery** was a goaltender for the Ottawa Senators from 2001 to 2008. During his time with the Senators, Emery became notorious for his off ice actions, and hot-headed plays on ice that frequently lead to penalties and even suspensions.

### Career

Ray Emery was drafted 99th overall in the fourth round of the 2001 NHL Entry draft by the Ottawa Senators. Emery was suspended for three games during his time with the Binghamton Senators for bumping a referee. He played his first NHL game in the 2002-03 season, recording a very respectable .923 save percentage in 85 minutes of ice time. He went on to win the first nine games that he started in net.

For most of the 2005-06 NHL season, Emery served as the backup for superstar netminder Dominik Hasek. Hasek was injured at the 2006 Winter Olympics and never played another game for the Senators. Emery took over and played all 10 games in the 2006 playoffs where the Senators were eliminated in the second round.

The following season, Ray Emery became the Senators bonafide starting goalie. On February 10th, 2007, Emery was suspended three games for slashing Canadiens forward Maxim Lapierre in the face. Less than two weeks later, Ray Emery was involved in a line brawl against the Buffalo Sabres. Emery fought Sabre's goalie Martin Biron and later Sabres enforcer Andrew Peters in what became one of the most memorable moments in modern Senators history.[1] The Senators and Emery would go on to make it to the Stanley Cup Finals the same season only to lose to the Anaheim Ducks in five games.

After two years of injuries and mediocre play, Ray Emery was waived by the Senators in 2009. He signed with Atlant Moscow in the KHL, where he continued his streak of eccentric behavior.[2]

Ray Emery would return to the NHL for the 2010-11 season, where he would play brief stints for the Ducks, Lightning, Flyers, and Chicago Blackhawks, where he won a Stanley Cup and William M. Jennings Trophy with teammate Cory Crawford. He retired in 2016.

Ray Emery passed away on July 15th, 2018.

### Off-Ice Antics

Ray Emery was involved in multiple incidents of road rage, usually involving his infamous white Hummer H2. In 2007, he was accused of cutting a man off and threatening to hurt him. In 2008, he allegedly cut off a police car, and in 2009 his Hummer was impounded after Emery was charged with stunt driving.

Ray Emery was a known boxing fan, and his helmet featured famous boxers such as Joe Frazier, the fictional Rocky Balboa, and the controversial Mike Tyson.

In the Senators dressing room, players found a dead cockroach on the floor and began making bets seeing if tough guy Brian McGrattan would eat it. McGrattan backed down, so Emery took on the challenge for himself. Daniel Alfredsson paid him $500 for his service.[3]

In 2010, Ray Emery began dating singer Keshia Chanté and the two got engaged in 2016, but the wedding was called off the following year.
Pageauuu, Pageau Pageau Pageauuuu, Pageauuuu

**Pageauuu, Pageau Pageau Pageauuuu, Pageauuuu**, also known as the **Pageau Ole Chant** is a sports chant that originated inside the Ottawa Senator's fandom. It was typically heard when former Senators forward Jean-Gabriel Pageau scored, or did something positive.

### Origin

The Pageau Ole Chant originated during game three of the first round of the 2012-13 NHL Playoffs versus the Montreal Canadiens. Then rookie Pageau had scored his second goal of the game to put the Senators up 3-1, and Senators fans began chanting his last name in the tune of the popular Montreal Canadians fan chant *Ole* in a glorious effort to mock both Candiens fans and players. Pageau would go on to score a hattrick and the Senators would win the game 6-1, and eventually take the series in five games.

Since 2013, Senators fans had continued the tradition of chanting Pageau's name until his departure in 2020.

Marc Methot

### Best Known For

- Solid defence partner for Erik Karlsson- Getting finger cut off by Sidney Crosby

- Vicious hip checks

- Co-host of The Wally and Methot Show

- Occasional co-host on TSN 1200

- V-neck shirts, sleeveless shirts

Marc Methot is a former defenceman for the Ottawa Senators from 2012 until 2017. He was acquired in a trade with Columbus for Nick Foligno. Methot was a solid defence partner for Erik Karlsson during the former captain's most successful years with the Sens. He became known for his signature hip checks which he delivered to Sidney Crosby, Mikael Granlund, and Evgeni Malkin.

Methot was claimed in the 2017 Expansion Draft by the Vegas Golden Knights before being traded to the Dallas Stars for a Dylan Ferguson and a 2nd round pick that would later be packaged by the Vegas Golden Knights to acquire Mark Stone.

Methot ran into knee issues which prematurely ended his 2018/19 season. He has never officially retired but has not played since November 2018.

In March 2021 Methot launched The Wally and Methot Show with Brent Wallace, Craig Medaglia, and Adam Woods.
Wally and Methot Show

**The Wally and Methot Show** was a former podcast run by beloved media member Brent Wallace, Sens Legend Marc Methot and Ottawa Senators Twitter guy™ Craig Medaglia. The podcast was announced on March 3rd, 2021, and the first official episode March 8th, 2021, featuring an interview with the Messiah himself, Daniel Alfredsson.

The podcast would discuss all things Senators and featured interviews with several notable guests including media members, current and former Sens legends as well as other notable NHL figures.

### The End

Due to Marc Methot getting a full time gig with TSN, the Wally and Methot show would air its final episode September 28th, 2022, featuring former fan favourite forward Bobby Ryan. This would ultimately serve as a bit of foreshadowing as not one month later, the podcast would rebrand to Coming in Hot with Brent Wallace and Bobby Ryan, and would also feature Sens legend Jason York.
Paul MacLean's Doppelganger

**Paul MacLean's doppelganger** was a man who would attend Sens games looking exactly like then Senators head coach Paul MacLean. He had season tickets for his company directly behind the bench where he could easily be spotted by TV cameras and players. After he was spotted on live television, social media went into a frenzy prompting Senators reporter, Ian Mendes, to investigate. Turns out the man's name was Mike Watson, and he had season tickets behind the bench. He does not own a phone so he could not see any reaction social media. He was simply told by co-workers that he looked like Paul MacLean and thought it would be funny.
Tim Stützle's tape job

**Tim Stützle's tape job** is a subject of ongoing debate amongst Sens fans as well as hockey fans around the league. During Stützle's time playing in Germany and the World Junior tournament, he dominated as a one man army with his tape job. Today as an Ottawa Senator there have been multiple instances of mishandling the puck. Some say it may be time for him to adopt a traditional tape job.
Bill Muckalt Trophy

The **Bill Muckalt Trophy** is a parody award invented[1] by @BringBackLee. The award goes to any Sens player who has played at least 20 games and scored zero goals. It is named after former Senators player Bill Muckalt, who infamously scored zero goals in his 70 games with the Ottawa Senators (2001-02), finishing the season with eight assists.[2] Bill Muckalt was acquired in the Yashin trade.

Shane Hnidy, Brian McGrattan, Erik Brannstrom, and Josh Brown are tied with most number of wins (2). A total of 23 players have won the trophy, with a record four players winning in 2019-20. Due to the nature of the award, defensemen are more likely to win than forwards.
3D Logo

The **3D Logo** refers to the Ottawa Senators primary logo introduced in for the 2007-08 NHL season. This was a replacement for the second version of the 2D logo. This logo features a front facing Senator wearing a more detailed golden helmet and a red cape.

The 3D Logo was worn on the front of the Ottawa Senators home and away jerseys, and on the shoulders of the SNES jersey.

From the mid to late 2010s, the Senators 3D logo drew increased criticism from fans around the league, and especially Sens fans on twitter. It was replaced with the third version of the 2D logo in September 2020.

For the 3D Logo introduced in the 1996-97 season, see Senagoth.

Number 1 Ford Store Kanata Ford

**Kanata Ford** is a Ford dealership located off of the 417 in Kanata by the Centrum. The dealership is known for its persistent and optimistic advertising on TSN 1200 by claiming that they are the number 1 Ford store with the "biggest sale of the year". They use agressive tactics such as persduading the listener that they are the only one in Ottawa that have trucks on the lot and if you buy a truck you will get a gift card (usually to Cabela's). This dealership is so optimistic that they believe they could sell their trucks during a nuclear war, zombie outbreak, asteroid collison, polar ice caps melting and even an inifity gauntlet snap.

The President of Kanata Ford is Jim Hotnot.
Missing Chiclets

Missing Chiclets was the Ottawa Senators house band during the 2017/18 season.

The band name was introduced by Defenceman Mark Borowiecki on Twitter before the start of the season.

Chiclets soothed Sens fans with covers of Take It Easy by The Eagles and Takin' Care of Business by Bachman Turner Overdrive during intermissions and breaks in play from their designated branded stage in the 200 level at Canadian Tire Centre.

The band lacked a lead singer for most of their tenure as the house band.

Missing Chiclets did not return following the 2017/18 season.

Missing Chiclets is regularly confused with the podcast Spittin' Chiclets.
Stressed DJ Smith

On November 26, 2021, the Ottawa Senators were shut-out 4-0 by the Anaheim Ducks, in Anaheim, California.

Before the game, it was announced that starting goaltended Matt Murray was going to be healthy scrathed. Debate broke out over the share of the blame that Murray had for the failures of the team to take a step forward from the 2020-2021 season.

After the game, Elliotte Friedman tweeted out that Murray may be waived the next day.

On November 27, it was confirmed that Matt Murray would be waived and before the Senators' game against the LA Kings, Head Coach DJ Smith was asked for his thoughts on the overall situation but also Matt Murray specifically.

He was not his usual positive and outgoing self. He looked dejected and stressed out, almost as if he knew his job was on the line.

Sens Twitter user @SteveOnSens tweeted out that DJ looked exactly like the Sad Scarlett Johansson meme, pictured below.
Julia Robillard

Hearing is believing dot com

Julia Robillard is the Owner, VP Marketing, and Hearing Instrument Specialist of Robillard Hearing Centres. She is the face of the hearing centre and has regularly appeared in commercials during Senators games for years.

Next to the Sens Theme Song and Song 2, the jingle for Robillard Hearing Centres is one of the most recognizable sounds for Sens fans.

♫*Hearing is believing dot coooommmm♬*
So you're an expert?

"So you're an expert?" was a quote repeatedly delivered by Senators defenceman Andy Sutton after he delivered a hard hit on Jordan Leopold during Game 2 of the 2010 Eastern Conference Quarterfinal.

Sutton faced reporters after the Game 2 loss and was asked if he knew whether his elbow came up and hit Leopold in the head. The exchange went something like this:

**Reporter:** "You didn't know your elbow came up and hit him in the head?"

**Sutton:** "Are you asking me or are you telling me?"

**Reporter:** "No I'm asking you"

**Sutton:** "You're an expert?"

**Reporter:** "No it was on the replay"

**Sutton:** "So you're an expert?"

**Reporter:** "No it was on the replay"

**Sutton:** "So you saw it, you're saying you saw it, you're an expert?

**Reporter:** "Yes."

**Sutton:** "You're not an expert"

**Reporter:** "I'm saying I saw it. I'm asking did you know you got your elbow up?

**Sutton:** "You're telling I got my elbow up?"

**Reporter:** "It was on the replay"

**Sutton:** "You're an expert? You know it was up?"

**Ottawa media guy:** "Ok that's it guys. Thank you."

The full exchange can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ab1mHvywIqI
Sens In Session

"Sens In Session" was a tagline proposed by the Ottawa Senators ahead of the 2021-22 NHL season.

The tagline first appeared in an email to season ticket holders, where the Sens asked for feedback on potential taglines.

All six proposed taglines were widely mocked by fans. However, "Sens In Session" soon caught on with the fanbase on Twitter. People started to use it ironically before preseason games, declaring that the Sens were "in session" and "gonna sens 'em."

As of November 2021, none of the taglines proposed in the initial email have been used as official Ottawa Senators taglines. However, the "Sens In Session" meme only increased in popularity during the 2021-22 regular season. On October 21st, 2021, the Official Ottawa Senators account tweeted "#SensInSession" to announce the start of the first period of a game against the San Jose Sharks. The Sens account continued to tweet that hashtag at the start of every game, presumably as a reference to the meme.
Senagoth

The **Senagoth** is a nickname used to refer to the first ever 3D Logo introduced by the Ottawa Senators in the 1997-98 season. Originally featured only on the Ottawa Senators third jersey, the Senagoth was eventually used as the primary logo for the team's away uniform.

It is commonly referred to as the Senagoth because of the dark shading around the eyes and to the right of the Senator's face, resembling eye shadow or eyeliner (or something like that), which are typically worn by members of the stereotypical goth subculture. However, the first version of the Senagoth featured brownish-yellow shading underneath and around the eyes. The Senagoth was featured on the Senator's second ever third jersey before being retired after the 2006-07 season.

SNES Logo

The **SNES Logo** (known more officially as the **SENS Logo**) is an alternate logo for the Ottawa Senators introduced for the 2008-09 season. The logo features the Ottawa Senators nickname, SENS, all caps in white with a yellow, gold, and black trim on a diagonal tilt.

Because of the spelling and the abrasive, in-your-face aura of the logo, it is commonly referred to as the SNES logo, a reference to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System console (short form known as the SNES console). It was worn on the Senators' third jersey until it was retired after the 2010-11 season.

The SNES logo and jersey are almost universally considered to be some of the worst in the history of the league,[1][2] and the definitive worst in the history of Ottawa Senators logos.[3][4]

Sens Win

Created by reddit user /u/aschwan41 in June 2018, Sens Win is posted in every r/Hockey Post Game Thread after a Sens Win. There have been 7 iterations, starting with featuring Mark Stone,to now featuring Brady Tkachuk, Tim Stützle, Josh Norris, Artyom Zub and Thomas Chabot. New versions are created sporadically, with the newest being created after the Sens came back from 5-1 down to beat the Leafs 6-5 in Overtime on February 15th.
Chris DiDomenico

Chris in his traditional Swiss hockey garb.

**Chris DiDomenico** (also known as Mr. Worldwide) is a professional hockey player who played for the Ottawa Senators from 2016 to 2018.

### Career

DiDomenico is one of Guy Boucher's sons. Guy Boucher coached him for two seasons in the QMJHL between 2008 and 2010, so naturally he was returned to his father a decade later. Before joining the Senators, DiDomenico played in the AHL, the ECHL, the Italian League, the Swiss B-League and the Swiss-A League. He was originally drafted by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the sixth round of the 2007 NHL Entry Draft.

Chris DiDomenico played his first NHL game over a decade after being drafted on March 9th, 2017 against the Arizona Coyotes. He scored his first NHL goal the following season on October 27th, 2017; a powerplay goal to tie the game at four apiece with less than a minute to go in regulation.[1] DiDomenico was placed on waivers the next month, and claimed by the Tampa Bay Lightning, who in turn placed him on waivers, and was claimed by the Senators a week later. He was traded to the Chicago Blackhawks for Ville Pokka in February 2018.

Chris DiDomenico played the remainder of the season for the Balckhawks' AHL afiliate, the Rockford Ice Hogs, where he (allegedly/parody) attempted to murder fans after being eliminated from the playoffs.

DiDomenico returned to Europe the following season.
Jared Cowen

**Jared Cowen** was a defenseman for the Ottawa Senators from 2009 to 2016. He is noted for being being very tall, unsuccessfully pinching in the offensive zone, and being slower than a Zamboni.

### Career

Jared Cowen was drafted ninth overall by the Ottawa Senators in the first round of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. He played his first game on April 8th, 2010 against the Tampa Bay Lightning. He scored his first goal on November 1st, 2011 against the Boston Bruins, tying the game at three apiece.[1]

Being 6'5 and weighing around 230 pounds, Cowen was never one to shy away from a tussle, unlike some of his defensive contemporaries (*cough* Patrick Wiercioch *cough).* His most memorable fights include the infamous round one line brawl against the Montreal Canadiens in 2013, where he pulverized Ryan White, the heavyweight punch-up against Lego enthusiast Pat Kaleta, and when he brutalized Chad LaRose after laying out Jeff Skinner.[2]

Cowen injured his hip in October 2012 and subsequently missed the entire season. The injury required surgery. Many Sens fans point to this moment as the point where Cowen's only three year pro hockey career started to decline.

Cowen struggled in the following seasons, eventually seeing himself as a healthy scratch in parts of the 2015/16 NHL season. Notable issues in his game included low speed and low acceleration. He also had a very bad habit of unsuccessfully pinching on the blue line.

Jared Cowen was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs in February of 2016, along with Milan Michalek and Colin Greening in exchange for a package that included the Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf. Cowen did not play for the Leafs, and was immediately waived. At the end of the season he was bought out. Jared Cowen has never played a game of professional hockey since.

Announce Duchene

In December of 2016, star centreman Matt Duchene requested a trade from the Colorado Avalanche, who were rebuilding at the time. The Ottawa Senators were rumoured to be interested. In January of 2017, Sens fans on Twitter got into the habit of tagging the official Senators account to request that they "announce Duchene." The first recorded tweet of this nature was from user @NotMStone.

"Announce Duchene" was a Sens Twitter refrain for months, as trade rumours continued throughout the 2017 offseason and into the 2017-18 NHL season.

On November 5th, 2017, the Senators did as requested, and announced Duchene.

Unfortunately, the Duchene trade cursed the team. Duchene's arrival coincided not only with the Senators' nosedive in the standings, but also with an unbelievable series of off-ice controversies. To make matters worse, the Senators had given up a first round pick in the Duchene trade, with the expectation that they would continue to be a competive team after nearly making the Stanley Cup Final the previous year. That pick ended up being the fourth overall pick in 2019, after the Senators finished dead last in the standings.

"Announce Duchene" was a humbling experience for Sens Twitter. Fans will occasionally try to manifest an acquisition by tweeting "@Senators announce [insert player]." Other versions of the joke include "@Senators announce the Tkachuk contract extension" or "@Senators announce the rebrand" or "@Senators announce relegation." You get the idea. However, given how badly the Duchene trade worked out, it is mostly used as a joke, and Sens Twitter's days of manifesting important player acquisitions through coordinated social media harassment campaigns have come to an end.

Tom Pyatt

### Departed

Traded to Vancouver on January 2, 2019 in a package for Anders Nilsson and Darren Archibald

### Best Known For

Being the son of Guy Boucher

Tom Pyatt was a depth player for the Ottawa Senators between 2016 and 2019.

Drafted 107th overall in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft by the New York Rangers, Pyatt spent time with the Montréal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning before spending two seasons with Geneve Servette in the Swiss-A League.

It was during this time in Switzerland that Pyatt was adopted by Guy Boucher becoming his first of many sons.

Pyatt spent 3 seasons with the Senators scoring 16 goals and 31 assists in 200 games.
Sens'd

**Sens'd** or **Sens'd Em** (also written as **Sensin' Em**) is a term developed by the Senators Twitter fan base during the 2021-22 season. The phrase refers to the organization, either the on ice team or (more often than not) the management sector misleading, tricking, or playing another team, fanbase, or player.

The Senators would occasionally Sens themselves over the course of the 2021-22 season. An example of this is when General Manager Pierre Dorion sens'd the entire fan base by trading a third round pick for suspected pylon defenseman Travis Hamonic at the trade deadline.

## Examples

* Goaltender Aaron Dell getting suspended and immediately sent down to the AHL after injuring Drake Batherson.
* Sensin' their own starting goalie Matt Murray by sending him down to the AHL after a terrible performance at the start of the season.
* Defeating the Maple Leafs in the season opener.
* Retroactively Sensin' the Vegas Golden Knights by not giving them Evgenii Dadonov's limited No-Trade-Clause list when they traded for him, hence helping to cause the Golden Knights to trade Dadonov to Anaheim in a last minute cap dump on the trade deadline, only for the NHL to intervene and veto the trade because Vegas was too stupid to make sure that Anaheim wasn't on Dadonov's no-trade list (spoiler: it was), thus leaving Vegas in a state of salary cap hell. Sens'd. **\*\*EDIT\*\*** looks like they sens'd themselves in the process

Ownership Rumours

Ownership change rumours have been an ongoing saga for the Ottawa Senators for years.

One of the first signs of ownership came from a Sens Chirp tweet on November 26, 2017.

Since then, there have been a pretty steady stream of ownership change rumours that have yet to manifest.

## Robert Kraft

On October 5, 2019 a screenshot of a snapchat alleged to have been from Kathryn Kraft, the granddaughter of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, surfaced online from Twitter user @SensDiehardz. The photo showed a picture of an empty Canadian Tire Centre along with a money bag emoji, a handshake emoji, and a shh emoji. The photo went viral with many outlets picking up the rumour.

In the end, it turned out that Robert Kraft did not have a granddaughter named Kathryn and that Robert Kraft was not buying the team.

## Nelson Peltz

In the early 2000's, with the team heavily in debt and eventually entering bankruptcy protection, Brooklyn-born billionaire Nelson Peltz was reported to be investing in the Senators, becoming a partner with the owner Rod Bryden. At the time, Peltz owned Arby's and had previously owned Snapple. Peltz pulled out of the deal and the team was sold to Eugene Melnyk in 2003. Nelson Peltz's son Brad was drafted by the Ottawa Senators in the seventh round of the 2009 NHL draft. He played 13 games in the ECHL.
Rihannaing

**Rihannaing** was an Ottawa Senators related trend inspired by a photo of pop star Rihanna wearing an Ottawa Senators third jersey with no pants on. Naturally, Senators fans began sharing photos of themselves in Sens jerseys whilst pant-less using the hashtag #Rihannaing.

Spearheaded by @BonksMullet, Rihannaing gained traction on twitter and even caught the attention of music news publication Complex. Articles about the trend were written by multiple news sources.[1][2][3][4]

Jack Maxwell

consume Senators

**Jack Maxwell** (@jackmax14140182) is the twitter account of an anonymous radical Eugene Melnyk loyalist and blind supporter of each and every action of the Ottawa Senators organization. Jack Maxwell is a suspected burner account for notoriously loud-mouthed and eccentric Senators owner Eugene Melnyk. Jack Maxwell is noteworthy for being the most blatant and ridiculous suspected troll/burner accounts (yes, there are multiple).

### Twitter Account

The Jack Maxwell twitter account began to gain attention in March 2019 - around the time Senators fans' animosity and frustration towards the team and Melnyk was (once again) reaching a boiling point. Jack Maxwell made an account on the 20th of March, 2019, and immediately began defending Eugene Melnyk and controversial actions taken by Senators management. Jack's twitter account was features on a segment of the Canadian sports talk show *Tim and Sid* just two days later. This prompted Jack to delete his account, only to reactivate it shortly after.

Because of Jack Maxwell's vehement support of every decision made by the Senators front office, including but not limited to managerial decisions by GM Pierre Dorion and the (controversial) existence of Eugene Melnyk. Jack also urged fans to buy tickets and merchandise to support the Senators, as seen in the image above. He is a fan of the Hexagon Suite, which he insists is a great deal.[1]

Jack is also notable for referring to his fellow twitter users and followers as "tweeps".

As of November 2020, Jack Maxwell is still tweeting about his love and loyalty towards the Ottawa Senators, and more specifically their owner.

It is unclear whether the current owner of the account is the original Jack Maxwell.

Matt Duchene

Heartwarming: man finally lives out his dream of being a country music star

**Matt Duchene** was a center for the Ottawa Senators from November 2017 to February 2019. He was traded from the Colorado Avalanche to the Ottawa Senators on November 5th, 2017. The deal sent Sens forward Kyle Turris to Nashville, and Andrew Hammond, Sens prospect Shane Bowers, and Ottawa's first round pick in the 2019 NHL Draft to Colorado.

### Career

Matt Duchene was drafted third overall in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft by the Colorado Avalanche, his childhood team. He spent nine seasons with the Avalanche before being dealt to the Ottawa Senators. Duchene became increasingly frustrated during his time in Colorado, requesting a trade sometime around the infamous 2016-17 Colorado Avalanche season, in which the team finished last in the NHL, and Duchene was league worst -34.

Duchene had a very slow start with the Ottawa Senators,[1] scoring only six points in his first 24 games with his new team. He scored his first goal as an Ottawa Senator on November 25th, 2017.[2]

Despite the Senators terrible play as a team, Duchene eventually caught up to his former self and was a key contributor to the Senators' offense during his short stay with the team. He finished his tenure with the Sens scoring 107 points in 118 games. Duchene was involved in the infamous leaked Uber video, where he jokes with Sens teammates that he does not even pay attention in practice anymore, and that he got his fuckin' twiggy boomeranged from his hands in a game.

   As it became clearer and clearer that Duchene was planning on testing the free agency market after the 2018-19 season, the Senators dealt Duchene to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Febuary 22nd, 2019. The deal sent prospects Vitaly Abramov (former Gatineau Olympique) and Jonathan Davidsson (long lost brother of Craig Anderson) to the Senators, along with the Blue Jackets first round pick in the 2019 NHL Draft (Lassi Thomson) and a conditional first round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft.

Matt Duchene signed a seven year, 56 million dollar deal with the Nashville Predators the following off season, finally fulfilling his life long dream of pretending to be a country music star.[3][4]

Erik Condra

A swing and a miss

**Erik Condra** was a forward for the Ottawa Senators from 2006 to 2015. He was known for his strong play on the penalty kill, his hands of stone, and for his seemingly supernatural ability to not finish a play.

### Career

Erik Condra was drafted by the Ottawa Senator 211th overall in the seventh round of the 2006 NHL Entry Draft. Condra played his first game on February 15th, 2011 in a 4-3 loss to the New York Islanders. He scored his first and second goal against the Philadelphia flyers on February 26th, 2011.

During his time with Ottawa, Condra was know for his expertise as a penalty killer and defensive forward. He also developed a reputation for failing to finish plays and to capitalize on offensive opportunities. Condra was especially notorious for missing wide open nets multiple times.[1] The most notable being against the Boston Bruins and against the Montreal Canadiens. Condra was also known for his stone hands and missing or shooting the puck at the goalie's chest on breakaways.

Erik Condra signed a three year deal with the Tampa Bay Lightning on July 1st, 2015. He spent that time going up and down from the AHL. Three years later he signed a one year deal with the Dallas Stars. In November 2020, he became a player development coach for the Chicago Blackhawks.

Descriptiva

## ¿Qué es la investigación descriptiva?

La **investigación descriptiva** se encarga de puntualizar las características de la población que está estudiando. Esta metodología se centra más en el “qué”, en lugar del “por qué” del sujeto de investigación.

En otras palabras, su objetivo es describir la naturaleza de un segmento demográfico, sin centrarse en las razones por las que se produce un determinado fenómeno. Es decir, “describe” el tema de investigación, sin cubrir “por qué” ocurre.

Por ejemplo, una marca de ropa que quiera entender las tendencias de compra de moda entre los compradores de Perú, llevará a cabo una encuesta demográfica de esta región, recopilará los datos de la población y luego realizará una investigación descriptiva sobre este segmento demográfico.

La investigación descubrirá entonces detalles sobre “cuál es el patrón de compra de los compradores peruanos”, pero no cubrirá ningún detalle sobre “por qué” se obtienen esos patrones, ya que para la marca de ropa que intenta entrar en este mercado, entender la naturaleza de su mercado es el objetivo del estudio.

## Características de la investigación descriptiva

Entonces, la investigación descriptiva se refiere al diseño de la investigación, creación de preguntas y análisis de datos que se llevarán a cabo sobre el tema. Se conoce como método de investigación observacional porque ninguna de las variables que forman parte del estudio está influenciada.

Algunas características que distinguen a la investigación descriptiva son:

* **Investigación cuantitativa:** La investigación descriptiva es un método que intenta recopilar información cuantificable para ser utilizada en el análisis estadístico de la muestra de población. Es una herramienta popular de investigación de mercado que permite recopilar y describir la naturaleza del segmento demográfico.
* **Variables no controladas:** En la investigación descriptiva, ninguna de las variables está influenciada de ninguna manera, sino que utiliza métodos de observación para llevar a cabo el estudio. Por lo tanto, la naturaleza de las variables o su comportamiento no está en manos del investigador.
* **Estudios transversales:** La investigación descriptiva, generalmente, es un estudio transversal de diferentes secciones pertenecientes al mismo grupo.
* **Bases para una mayor investigación:** Los datos recogidos y analizados a partir de la investigación descriptiva pueden ser investigados más a fondo utilizando diferentes técnicas. Además, ayudan a determinar los tipos de métodos de investigación que se utilizarán para la investigación subsiguiente.
Hot Pierre Summer

In the summer of 2022 General Manager Pierre Dorion made several trades, a free agent signing and contract extensions that were praised by the media and fans dubbed it the "Hot Pierre Summer", referencing Megan Thee Stallion's 2019 hit song "Hot Girl Summer."

He acquired two-time 41-goal scorer Alex DeBrincat from the Chicago Blackhawks for a first, second and third round pick, traded frequently injured and highly paid goaltender Matt Murray to the Toronto Maple Leafs, signed free-agent local guy Claude Giroux and extended Josh Norris and Tim Stutzle for eight years.

Recapping Hot Pierre Summer!
Why is Pittsburgh Penguins' Matt Cooke so interested in Don Brennan's package?

A common question amongst Sens fans is "Why is Pittsburgh Penguins' Matt Cooke so interested in Don Brennan's package?". In April of 2013, Don Brennan sought out to answer the question.

In the aftermath of the Matt Cooke stepping on Erik Karlsson incident, tensions were high. Senators owner Eugene Melnyk infamously launched a forensic investigation to prove that Cooke intentionally stepped on Karlsson's achilles tendon. Tensions were apparently also high in the visitor's dressing room at Scotiabank Place where Matt Cooke allegedly told the Ottawa Sun writer that he had small balls, no balls, and no penis.

Brennan took this opportunity to write one of the strangest articles about this incident which includes Brennan stating that "I will not take this opportunity to, ahem, brag about my manhood".

Melnyk was never able to prove that Matt Cooke intentionally stepped on Erik Karlsson and Don Brennan was never really able to prove why Matt Cooke was so interested in Don Brennan's package.
Soft hands and big

"Soft hands and big" is how Josh Norris described Nick Paul during the 2021-22 Ottawa Senators training camp.

TSN 1200 tweeted out the quote on September 23rd, 2021. They never posted the audio of this particular media availability, so it is unclear if those were Norris's exact words, or if TSN 1200 made a mistake when transcribing and tweeting out the quote, as they sometimes do. Either way, the quote was so funny that it immediately became one of Sens twitter's favourite phrases.

The full tweet reads: "Josh Norris - Nick Paul is a freak. There isn't much he cant do. He won the fitness test again this year and he has soft hands and big."

Big what? We don't know. But we can certainly imagine.

Unrelatedly, Nick Paul was nicknamed "Big Dick Nick" by some people on Sens Twitter soon after that quote was posted.
DJ Prosper

DJ Prosper has been the intermission DJ at Senators games since the 2018/19 season. He plays a high energy mix of hip hop, techno, and rock and roll. His signature

move is getting Sens fans to shine their phone flashlights while the team comes onto the ice after intermission.

DJ Prosper replaced Missing Chiclets as the in-house entertainment and has received much better reviews than his predecessors.
About

Welcome to Sens Lore - the community run wiki on the Ottawa Senators hockey team.

The goal of this is to essentially compile a list of memorable quotes, events, players, people, and anything else. I've been a Sens fan my entire life and I sometimes struggle to put into words how ridiculous, funny, disappointing, and infuriating this franchise has been to follow. I hope that this serves as a place to have some laughs about memories or a place where new fans can come to to find out who Kaspars Daugavins was.

Anyone is allowed to write and edit. I'll be serving as the moderator for now. I'm not super great with this kind of stuff so I'm hoping I don't encounter any big issues. If you want to become a moderator of this website send me a message on Twitter.

Anyways I hope this turns into a fun community hub that we can all enjoy.

Cheers!

2.5D Logo

The **2.5D Logo** refers to the Ottawa Senators alternate logo introduced for the 2007-08 NHL season. It has been called the 2.5D logo by some because it is seen as a mixture of the original Senators 2D logo and the 3D logo introduced in 2007.

The logo features a profile illustration of a strong-chinned Senator, with laurels inside red outlined gold trim, similar to that of the 2D logo. A red cape flies from the bottom of the Senator's neck, and he wears a curved crest atop his golden helmet.

The 2.5D logo was seldom used by the Ottawa Senator, usually (but rarely) only seen on posters and murals inside the Canadian Tire Centre. It was never worn on a jersey.

Some self-proclaimed graphic design experts have insisted that this is the most aesthetically pleasing Senators logo. This likely has more to do with clean vector paths than what the logo actually looks like.

The 2.5D logo was presumably retired in 2020 with the introduction of the new and improved 2D logo as the primary logo.
