Here’s the Sens news roundup for today:
-Rob Brodie wrote about Andre Petersson for the Sens website (senators.nhl.com/ club/news.htm?id=588218&cmpid=rss-brodie). The Swedish rookie speaks at length about his back problems and a little about his play, “I’ve been struggling for two years with my back. This is the first time in two years I’ve been able to play two games without feeling any back pain, so I’m really happy about it. It’s amazing that I could go 1-1/2 years with this pain and then the past six months have been this much better. It has been really tough. When you’re out there, you can’t skate 100 per cent. It’s been an awful two years, but I’m really happy about (playing) two games without any pain at all. I came over here (earlier this year) and they started to fix my back over the last six months. I really trust the guys in Ottawa. I played my last game at the beginning of January, so I kind of have to start all over again. But it feels pretty good. The first game was not that good. I couldn’t do much at all. But the last game was better and I know it’s going to be even better tomorrow.” There’s also an interview with him on the site (video.senators.nhl.com/videocenter/console?=DL|OTT|home).
–The Ottawa Citizen‘s Alan Panzeri has an article about Mark Borowiecki (Borowiecki+aims+reward+Sens+faith/5390578/story.html). There’s not much new, with Pierre Dorion staying what’s seemed fairly obvious from the beginning, “Realistically, he’s someone who needs to go to Binghamton and refine his game. Down the road, we see him as someone who can contribute in a hard-to-play-against role.”
–The Ottawa Sun‘s Bruce Garrioch wrote an article about Robin Lehner (humble-lehner-wants-to-earn-spot-with-sens), where he revealed some frustration about his depiction of being arrogant, “It feels like whatever I say to the media, they kind of try to twist it and they kind of try to make me look arrogant. I’m going in humble to this camp. I feel like if I’m not going in for a job, why should I even go there? It’s as simple as that. I’m trying to go there and show what I can do. If it goes the right way, that’s good. If it doesn’t, I’m down in Binghamton as a 20-year-old and that’s not bad either. I have a lot of friends that are up with the big team now. Of course I want to play with them. Everybody would be lying if they didn’t want to aim for the NHL. That’s what I want to do and that’s what I’m aiming to do since I started hockey.”
–Shane Prince has posted a blog about the rookies’ day off (prince-a-day-to-catch-our-breath).
