Welcome to Silver Seven

PrintWelcome, friends, to the brand new Silver Seven blog, featuring commentary on the Ottawa Senators of the NHL. For the time being, the only author for the site will be myself, PeterR, who you may know from my work over at Sens Army Blog. You can expect much of the same content adn writing style that I had on that site, along with more features thanks to the upgraded format here on Sports Blogs Nation.
It's an interesting time for Sens fans, to say the least. As of writing, the Sens were in 12th place and 13 points out of a playoff spot; it's something we haven't really dealt with since 1996. We're in a rebuilding stage, one that perhaps should have started a year ago, but it will make for some interesting roster movements in the coming days, weeks, and months. So stay tuned, and I'll try and do what I can to offer as much insight into our developing prospects so we can get an idea what to expect.
As for the site name, many of you likely know of the Ottawa Silver Seven. In the event you don't, though, the Silver Seven were an Ottawa-based hockey dynasty from 1903-1906. Led by one-eyed Frank McGee, who scored 135 goals in 45 games (and actually had only one eye), the Silver Seven won eleven consecutive Stanley Cup challenges.
While we wait for the current Ottawa Senators to string together eleven consecutive Stanley Cups, though, you might as well hang out here. Check in daily or so, subscribe to the RSS feed (at left), post some Fanshots and let me know what you're thinking about the Sens.

Huzzah, finally!
Congrats Peter, I have been a big fan of your Sens coverage for awhile now and am a proud (and supporting) member of No Habs No.
By the way, you might get some more rapid fans than you expect. Some of us have been waiting for this SBN blog to open for quite some time.
That’s awesome Peter. You’re easily one of the best in business and can’t wait for more No Habs No!

I second this one.

Thanks, Alby. I shall soon rectify the oversight that’s left Sens Buzz off my blogroll, don’t you worry about that.

We’re gonna get a lower draft pick than you! WOoooooo!

You think so, eh?
Well… I guess I think so, too. You’re going to have a hard time beating out the Islanders in the Tavares Sweepstakes, though.

They just have so much more practice than us at being epically bad. Now, normally bad? We have them beat.

WELCOME!
I enjoy your No Habs No promotion. I hate your team. I look forward to the rivalry. Hopefully it resembles the playoffs and not the regular season.
Great to have a sens blog where we can post fanshots :)

You’ve had the Flyers and Penguins for a while now. I needed something.

Welcome!
As a Blues fan, I feel like we haven’t seen the Sens in about 5 years.
I remember reading about Frank McGee in Ripley’s Believe it or Not, when I was a kid…one of the great legendary stories of hockey. Do you have a picture of him?
Wow… I don’t even know when we last played the Blues… it does seem like a while, though, you’re right.
As for Frank McGee, there’s a photo of him on his Wikipedia profile.
