Ottawa Senators Postgame Show - March 23, 2026

·57 min·1 clip

The Senators win 2-1 in New York and the postgame show starts there. It does not wander far from the score. Artem Zub gets the first star talk, with 23:44 on a shorthanded blue line that had to stay together while Shabbat was out. Tyler Klaus gets the second star and a long look too, after a night with six shots on goal and the kind of minutes that kept the trade that keeps on giving in the conversation. The hosts keep coming back to the idea that the deal keeps paying off. The third star talk also keeps the defense front and center. Then the show opens up into calls, texts, and emails. Fans want to know where Brady Tkachuk was after the Shabbat cross-check. That question turns into a wider argument about response, retribution, and what a captain owes when the game is still on the edge. The hosts say the play happened fast. Two players came together. From the ice level, it may not have looked like much until Shabbat headed off. That does not make the frustration go away. The show also revisits the way Tkachuk has spoken before about other teams not answering for hits. The hosts say this situation is not exactly apples to apples. They keep grounding the debate in the standings. The Senators are two points out of a playoff spot, and they play the Wings tomorrow in Detroit. Thompson's unsportsmanlike penalty and Trochek's double minor also get folded into the recap. The show stays local and restless all the way through. It ends where it began, with the win, the blue line concerns, and the feeling that this road result changed the temperature around the team.
