April 17, 2008 Daniel Alfredsson wasn't just playing on a sore knee in the playoffs, he was playing on a knee that had a torn MCL, this according to the Ottawa Sun. "We had such a difficult second half of the season. We thought if we got into the playoffs, we could get a fresh start and it just didn't happen." Our View:Gotta give the guy credit for giving it a go, but the Senators were completely outclassed by a younger, faster and more talented Penguins squad in the sweep. |
|
April 17, 2008 Daniel Alfredsson stated that he was playing with a torn MCL in the playoffs, according to the Ottawa Sun.

|
April 16, 2008 Daniel Alfredsson will be reunited with former linemates Jason Spezza and Dany Heatley for Game 4, this according to TSN.

April 15, 2008 Daniel Alfredsson made a miraculous comeback as he was able to play around 17 minutes in Monday's loss to Pittsburgh, according to the Ottawa Sun. He battled knee and head injuries to return on Monday, and was thought to miss the entire first round. He didn't score but he provided an emotional boost to the team, and Coach Bryan Murray stated, "If anybody questions Daniel Alfredsson's character again. I might approach them in an unkind manner, this guy has nothing but character." Our View:The Senators are in a 3-0 hole against Pittsburgh, and hopefully his return will spark them, and prevent a sweep. |
|
April 14, 2008 Daniel Alfredsson may play in Game 3 for the Senators, this after knee and head injuries were thought to be forcing him to the sidelines for the entire first-round of the playoffs, this according to TSN. "We're going to talk again this afternoon and see where we go with him," HC Bryan Murray told reporters Monday. "I'm not shutting the door on it. He's the boss. If he feels he can play then he's in." Our View:It's do or die time for the Senators who already trail two games to none, so if Alffie doesn't play tonight, he will likely have about four months to convalesce. |
|
April 10, 2008 Daniel Alfredsson is likely going to miss the first round of the playoffs against Pittsburgh, but he is riding a stationary bike and there is a slight chance he may be able to come back if Ottawa makes it past the first round, according to the Ottawa Sun. He will be gravely missed as he scored 89 points over 70 games this season, especially since Pittsburgh has Crosby back to 100% health. |
|
April 4, 2008 The Senators suffered a potentially devastating injury to captain Daniel Alfredsson on Thursday night, one that could keep him out of action for weeks, this according to TSN. Alfredsson has an injured knee and suffered concussion on a questionable hit by the Leafs Mark Bell. Alfredsson's production has really slowed of late, but make no mistake about it, his loss is a crushing blow to the Senators playoff hopes. As a result, drop him way down in your playoff pool since we have no clear-cut answer as to when he will be back on the ice. |
|

|

|
February 27, 2008 The Ottawa Senators made the surprising move of firing their head coach on Thursday despite the fact that they rank second in the Eastern Conference. John Paddock was fired with 18 games to go in the season and will be replaced behind the bench by GM Bryan Murray, this according to NHL.com. "It comes certainly because of performance lately," Murray said. "The results we've been having - or not having - was an indicator that some adjustment, some emotion had to be brought back to the team." The Senators are 4-4-2 in their last 10 games including a 2-4-1 in their last seven games. Shocking to be sure, but the team has yet to win the Cup, and they appear hell bent on giving it a real shot this year. |
|

|
February 9, 2008 Daniel Alfredsson, who had missed six of the Senators last nine games and the last four with a strained hip flexor, scored a goal and added an assist in the first period on Saturday night.

|
February 8, 2008 Daniel Alfredsson is set to return to game action on Saturday against the Habs, according to the Senators' official Web site.

|
February 5, 2008 Daniel Alfredsson tested his hip flexor injury in practice yesterday. He said he's feeling better, but it's still a day-to-day matter and he won't play tonight, according to the Ottawa Citizen. Alfredsson, who has missed the last two games, is hoping to return on Thursday. |
|
February 4, 2008 Daniel Alfredsson will skate today to test his hip flexor strain, but he is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Canadiens, according to the Ottawa Sun.

|
February 1, 2008 Daniel Alfredsson failed to complete Tuesday's game after aggravating his hip flexor injury. He's expected to miss at least the next two or three games, according to the Ottawa Citizen. "I'm going to take a few days to let it heal up and make sure I don't come back and aggravate it again," he said Thursday. He missed two games before the All-Star break due to the same injury, so clearly he and the Sens will not take any chances by pushing him to play too quickly. Alfredsson has an incredible 68 points in 48 games thus far, so he's earned a couple of games off anyway. |
|
