Love the Marty Straka praise from Alfie. One of my all time favorites and still have his jersey.

Another solid article from Scanlan.

Senators' support of Alfredsson's HHOF bid signals cultural shift in organization

In recent years, the prevailing darkness around the Senators has made taking pride in the franchise a challenge for fans. But lately, the atmosphere has changed. There's radiant sunshine bursting through those dark clouds in Ottawa.

Man - this is a fantastic read.

Eleven stories of No. 11: Daniel Alfredsson, from forklifts to Hockey Hall of Fame

From his first job to his ever-shifting relationship with Senators owner Eugene Melnyk, it's been a Hall-of-Fame ride for Daniel Alfredsson.

theathletic.com

When Alfie talks about losing his mother during the Covid lockdowns, not being able to say goodbye in person, having to stay in Ottawa. And says she passed at 17:11 local time, 11:11 in Ottawa - man I started filling up In tears.

If you find the free time - give this a read.

Alfie was on the TSN intermission show last night with James Duthie, Luongo, and D. Sedin. They were asked which current player reminded them of themselves and Alie said Stone. He said something like "not a good skater, not a great shot, but finds a way to get it done, and has a great work ethic." Now I think Alfie was better than Stone by a good deal, and I think hes shortchanging himself on having a good shot, because he definitely did.

Saw that. But I think we all can see he saw the same clutchness in stone, and has the same defensive awareness as Alfie. Stone will always be the one that got away IMO

 

[Silencio]

That's not even a good deal today, let alone in the mid 1980s lol

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Alfie was very restrained talking about Melnyk.

 

[Senovision]

Congratulations to Alfie! The Sens game is being played at 5:30 tomorrow and at 7:30 the Hall of Fame Ceremonies start. I would be so nervous having to give a speech like that! I think I would faint!

DANIEL ALFREDSSON​

After being passed over for many years and eventually spurring a spirited social media campaign promoting his candidacy, Ottawa Senators franchise legend Daniel Alfredsson has finally made the cut and will enter Hall this weekend. In 1,246 career games, Alfredsson racked up 444 goals and 713 assists for 1,157 points, winning the Calder Trophy, the Mark Messier Leadership Award, and the King Clancy Award for his troubles.

idk man when was the last time you got a cone, you pay ten bucks for two scoops these days

though i agree it doesnt sound like that great of a deal at the time

Edit: OK, having read the article, they're talking about him bringing home a full-on hockey bag packed with tubs of ice cream, ice cream bars, etc. - as much as he could carry - so yeah, probably a better deal than it sounded at first

 

[sennysensen]

I hope the TML guttersnipes don't boo Alfie.

 

[SanderSen]

I hope the TML guttersnipes don't boo Alfie.

TSN has been running the interview promo which basically just replays the Tucker hit again and again and ignores his incredible career and what makes him a Hall of Famer. With that priming, don't count on it.

I would like to see the footage in a game where they had trackers on Samsanov and Alfie for a period. Samsanov basically never went back to his own end, Alfie covered the entire ice all game. It was so dramatic it was sicko. He could have cranked up a lot higher offensive totals if he was not the team player that made everyone playing with him better.

How many times did the try to break up the pizza line, but without Alfie Spezza and Heatley did not do much. He was the X factor that made it work. He did that his whole career. Hall of Fame worthy.

 

[Karl Prime]

If the hit against Tucker had been against a player from the Rangers, Islanders, Flyers, etc, it would be a footnote in history. It wouldn't have been anywhere near the big deal it was if he hadn't scored right after. And frankly, the fact that Farber brought up that play is unprofessional. It didn't end Tucker's career. What do you want him to say there? It would have been more appropriate to talk about the fake stick toss.
