Summary
The NHL season is underway, and the Ottawa Senators are finally ready to join the party.On this episode of the Jim Keay Ford Sens Nation Podcast, Steve and Gregg get you set for Saturdays season opener against the Toronto Maple Leafs and discuss the biggest story of the week: Thomas Chabot being named the 11th captain in Senators history, with Claude Giroux, Jake Sanderson and Tim Sttzle serving as alternates. We also dig into Ottawas growing injury concerns, with Artem Zub and Andre Burakovsky ruled out and questions still surrounding Sanderson and Warren Foegele. What could the Sens defence look like on opening night, and where does Carter Yakemchuk fit? Plus, Travis Green pushes back against criticism of the way he handles injury updates, the Sens introduce their new emergency backup goalie, and we look at how William Eklund fits into Ottawas revamped forward group as the post-Brady Tkachuk era officially begins. The wait is over. New season. New captain. Lets go.Subscribe and share the show with another Senators fan, and let us hear your comments below.
