So much to discuss: all the possibilities of forward line combinations, the gray hole that is our defence, how Paul MacLean will perform relative to his Jack Adams-standard and whether this site will actually stick with its current theme for at least the first forty-one games. The preseason is built for speculation. What with training camp providing almost hourly fodder in regards to roster updates and line combinations, it's a breeding ground for a hockey fan's fervent fantasies and sprouting hopes that this next season will be the one to take their team to the top.

Blog update: 'til next season.


Apologies for the blog hiatus. With a few weeks left in the regular season and non-blogging-life-related things heating up on this end, The Storied Sens will be shutting down until the start of next season (or perhaps earlier, depending on how exciting of a summer the Senators make it for us). Thanks for reading, and 'til then.

Best,

Eden
