The November Sens calendar wallpaper is finally finished after modifying it quite a few times. I hope you enjoy it! If there’s a need for any different sizes not shown here, please let me know via a comment to this post, and I’ll see what I can do.

I wasn’t happy with the previous wallpaper I made for the Sens schedule, as it was a rush job. I’m definitely happier with this new one. This is a wallpaper that includes the October schedule only. I’ll be releasing one for every month of the 2008-2009 hockey season (with time permitting). Doubleclick on the thumbnails below, then right-click and select save as.

The NHL has released the schedule for the 2008-2009 hockey season. Here’s is the schedule for the Ottawa Senators.

I have also created a couple of desktop wallpapers that include the schedule.

The Ottawa Senators have added to their blueline by signing Jason Smith to a 2 year, 5.2 million dollar deal. The former captain of both the Philadelphia Flyers and Edmonton Oilers led the Flyers last year with 204 blocked shots and and 142 hits. He brings some much needed grit to the Sens’ defence and leadership in the dressing room.Its not the puck moving defenceman that Murray was looking for, but I believe he will be a good asset for the team.

There wasn’t much activity as far as acquisitions go for the Ottawa Senators yesterday. We lost 3 players, 2 of which I wasn’t surprised to see go. As for the 3rd, I was hoping we’d get to keep Stillman, but I guess he’d rather have the money instead of playing in a Canadian hockey city. Hopefully there will be more activity today, as we still need to pick up a defence and a forward. We can also hope that we’ll hear about Vermette and Meszaros re-signing with the team.

2:30pm: Shean Donovan has signed a 2 year deal with the Sens for an undisclosed amount.

3:00pm: Ottawa signs Jarkko Ruutu to a 3.9$ million, 3 year contract.
