Elite Sens Brain

The end of the Sens' season and the start of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs means that we now have endless time to engage in our favourite activity: hating. Hating on the teams that have been eliminated, hating on the teams in the playoffs, and hating on Taylor Swift's new album. Learn how to be just like us with our hater's eulogy for each eliminated team, and our hater's guide to

Welcome to episode Dylan Gambrell but, in a much more real sense, welcome to episode Chappell Roan. In this episode, the Sens have given us nothing to talk about, so listen to our Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess takes for 15 minutes. Then, to actually start the episode, we give our rapid fire input on some Twitter discourse that we have seen recently. Next, we discuss PWHL Otta

We did it. We reached episode Erik Brännström. We invite all our fellow Brännheads to join us in rejoicing that our favourite little guy did NOT get traded at the deadline this year.

This holiday season, we are mad at the Ottawa Senators and we're making sure everyone knows it. The silver lining? Other fanbases hate the Sens too, which means we've been doing our jobs as haters. After venting our feelings about the Sens' recent losing streak and doing our best to annoy other NHL fanbases, we turn our attention to the PWHL, where we discuss the league's recent me

The Ottawa Senators won their games in Sweden then came back and fell apart... where have we heard this one before? In this episode we recap the Sens Sweden trip including Erik Brännström's iconic goal, Alfie beating everyone at padel, and Josh Norris learning a new language. Then, we discuss their return to Ottawa, where they decided to be bad again. We also give our takes on re

We have lost our sneaky little guy. In this episode, we say goodbye to Pierre Dorion, the most Ottawa Senators man there ever was and may ever be. We also discuss everything going wrong, from everyone being injured to Shane Pinto's 41-game suspension.

The regular season is finally upon us, and we have thoughts on two of the three games the Sens have played at time of recording.
