    The Sens are in the playoffs, the grills are fired up, and the boys are back to break it all down! From February barbecues to faceoff frustrations, from dodging Leaf fans in Toronto’s PATH system to debating danger flutes at center ice — it’s all here. We talk burger weather, busted trumpets, Batherson’s playoff blues, a sea of Sens fans at CTC, and why it’s still all about heart over hype. Plus: goalie woes, blocked shots, fishing season, jury duty, and a healthy dose of Leafs slander. Grab a beer and settle in — it’s playoff chaos, Sens Callups style! #GoSensGo

    This week on the pod, the boys battle through third winter, debate if a 720p scoreboard is a war crime, and try to make sense of the Ottawa Senators’ love-hate relationship with the Buffalo Sabres.   There's craft beer, playoff hopes, weather rage, and a rant about how fax machines still haunt us in 2025. Oh, and Ridly Greig is apparently a chihuahua now.   Hockey talk? Yeah, that too—but buckle up, it's a ride.   #GoSensGo

    Season 13 Episode 11: Artificial Intelligence, Low Scoring, and QuebecGate

    This podcast episode of "Sens Callups" covers a variety of topics related to the Ottawa Senators hockey team, including game recaps, team management, and fan reactions. The three hosts are Kardinal, Canuck, and Pan. Here's a breakdown of the key discussion points: Team Performance and Roster: The hosts discuss recent games, including losses against the Rangers and Bruins, and a win against the Leafs. There's also talk about the team's performance in back-to-back games and the team's position in the standings. They analyze individual player performances, such as Forsberg's and Maril Linen's goaltending, as well as scoring from players like Stutzo and Pinto. The potential return of Omar is mentioned. Controversy Regarding Quebec City Games: A significant portion of the episode focuses on the controversy surrounding the possibility of the Senators playing regular season games in Quebec City. The hosts discuss fan concerns about season ticket renewals, potential double-dipping on ticket sales, and the team's marketing approach, including the use of a split jersey featuring a defunct Quebec Nordiques logo. There is also discussion on the team's relationship with the Quebec market and the appropriateness of using the team's mascot, Sparty, in a split jersey. The hosts also discuss the possibility that this was a ploy to push the NCC to make a deal regarding the new arena. Ticket Pricing and Fan Frustration: The hosts express concern about the high cost of tickets, particularly for games against the Toronto Maple Leafs. They also discuss the team's dynamic pricing strategy and how it may be pricing out their own fans, making it easier for visiting fans to attend games in Ottawa. The hosts also read an email from a listener that uses an analogy to describe how the arena has been overrun by Leafs fans. They also discuss the idea of locking tickets for resale or transfer, but at a lower cost, to prevent visiting fans from buying up tickets. Goalie Situation: The hosts discuss the team's goalie situation with the return of injured goalies. They debate whether to keep all three goalies or trade one for other assets. The hosts also discuss the number of goalies used in the past season. Potential Player Acquisitions: The hosts discuss potential trades, including the possibility of acquiring Elias Patterson or JT Miller, but ultimately conclude that it isn't worth the risk to disrupt the team's core at this time. Other Team News: The hosts talk about a potential tariff on the podcast for American listeners, the team's frustration with the National Capital Commission (NCC) regarding the new arena, and other team-related news. They also touch on a recent three-team trade. Podcast Fun: The hosts also have a segment where they answer fun questions like favorite chocolate bars, what they wanted to be as kids, and their first movie star crushes. This episode provides a comprehensive overview of the Ottawa Senators' current situation, while also delving into various controversies and fan concerns, with a bit of light-hearted fun thrown in. Oh and if you can make it through outro, have a listen to the AI created podcast on the episode - it's kind of crazy what tech can do!  You'll hear the mistakes, but this was a conversation generated in 2 minutes!
