Episode Description

In this episode of the Jim Keay Ford Sens Nation Podcast, the Senators hit the Olympic break on a heater (5 wins in 6), and suddenly the hope meter is back on the table. Steve Warne and “The Coach” Gregg Kennedy break down what’s real, what’s fool’s gold, and why Ottawa’s improved shot suppression has changed the conversation.They debate the brutal late line change vs. Carolina (and who wears it), gush over Tim Stützle’s ridiculous three-zone motor, and ask the big question: with only five games left before the March 6 trade deadline, what should Steve Staios do, buy, sell, or stand pat?Plus: why right-shot defence is priority #1, what a “seller’s market” could look like, listener poll reactions (including the Jesper Wallstedt dream), and a quick detour into Olympic ceremony gripes, All-Star skills done properly, and Steve's debut on a Super Bowl commercial.
