The Sens' season has come to a tragic end, but there's no question about it: we are ready to get hurt again. We recap the reverse sweep that almost was, revisit our preseason predictions, and eventually turn our attention to the Charge and their upcoming playoff series against the Victoire.

The playoffs have started, and that means it's time for a mostly unedited, emergency podcast to assess the damage from games 1 and 2. We discuss Brady Tkachuk finally scoring a between-the-legs goal as well as our worst fears and biggest hopes about this team. It was so  over... but we have the potential to be so back.

Zubcast x Elite Sens Brain: Playoff Preview

With about a month left in the NHL regular season, something that was once unthinkable is finally true: the Ottawa Senators have a 91.2% chance of making the playoffs.

The price of the Sens's success? Everyone's favourite babygirl, Josh Norris. In this episode, we say goodbye to our favourite himbo, but not before getting mad about the Habs and talking ourselves into believing in the Ottawa Senators.

Babygirl eulogy

Now, more than ever before, four nations have been facing off. 

Listen to us as we discuss everything from on-ice fights to national anthems (both written by Carly Rae Jepsen and otherwise).

Happy New Year!

While we were battling illness, the Sens have been busy tearing up the NHL (on weekends only). After analyzing Tim Stützle's new haircut, we look back at the year that was, and make predictions for 2025.

The Bald Epidemic

We still can't quite believe it, but... the Sens just can't stop winning. For the first time in what feels like forever, they're actually in a playoff spot, and that means we finally want to talk about them. Join us for a joyful, celebratory episode about how good the Sens are, how bad their enemies are, and how silly Brady Tkachuk is.

We also discuss the Ottawa pro hockey team that isn't doing very well, and announce Beata's new favourite Ottawa Charge player.

Greedy

Join us in our first episode back since taking time off to hold space for the lyrics of Defying Gravity. We discuss how the Sens fared in November and then quickly move onto the important things like Tim Stützle's tinted visor and whatever is going on between Josh Norris and Quinn Hughes.

Holding Space

Have you ever wanted to know what REALLY goes on in the Ottawa Senators' press box? Well then this episode is for you. Join us for a full debrief of Beata's experience being credentialed for a few Sens games, for some reason, including a review of press box beverages and a behind-the-scenes look at how post-game media scrums actually work.

Then, we discuss some of the not-so-shocking truths revealed in the latest "Sens call out other teams" video, and make fun of John Tavares for his magical amulet.

Joined by one of our favourite posters, Twitter user @nuckssleepdemon, we make sure none of our listeners will ever make a single penny off of sports gambling, as we give our takes on the Sens' record, the leading goalscorer, and other, equally normal and serious questions going into the 2024-25 season.
