Excitment in Bytown

They are very excited in Bytown (nickname for Ottawa). Ottawa Sentors blogger "Senators Lost Cojones" is jumping up and down. The Senators found some cojones.

Five For Smiting:
And Lo, It Came To Pass That The Bryan Ate His Minstrels. And There Was Much Rejoicing
-- I need to start this with an apology. *Ahem*...sorry PPP, but you aren't going to get the rage filled re-cap of Monday's unpleasantness you were so hoping for. I know I promised one (and actually had it half written. It was just taking far longer than usual, what with having to mop the spittle from the keyboard every now and then. But...) And for the rest of my Gentle Readers, I offer the same apology. To those of you who came here tonight, expecting a froth and profanity filled tirade following last night's Boston Massacre, I'm sorry. I can't. I just don't have it in me. I'm just too freakin' happy! ...

TSN:
Murray replaces Paddock as Sens' coach -- Having dropped six of their last eight games and 14 of their last 21, the Ottawa Senators fired head coach John Paddock with just 18 games remaining in the regular season.

Bryan Murray, who coached the Senators for two seasons before taking the general manager's job last summer, returns behind the bench for the stretch run.

"(The change) comes certainly because of performance lately," Murray told reporters at the team's hotel in Philadelphia. "I think the results that we'd been having or not having was an indicator that some adjustment, that some emotion had to be brought back to the team.
SlapShot said:
The part of Lou Lamoriello will be played this playoff season by Ottawa Senators GM Bryan Murray. . .The Senators just played two colossal stinkers, losing by a combined 9-0 to Toronto and Boston. After a dazzling 15-2 start to the season, the Sens have misfired, particularly after injuries to their star forwards Daniel Alfredsson and Dany Heatley.

Lamoriello’s own Devils have dislodged the Sens as first in the East, and with the Canadiens right behind them in the Northeast Division, the Senators could find themselves on the express elevator down to sixth place. . .
Hey, wait. That sixth place rightfully belongs to the Rangers, Commander Tom has dibs.
