Bleacher Report has been critical of the Senators this season. From the Senators' goaltending, to an average grade on the latest report card and now Bleacher Report gave the Senators one word that perfectly describes the first month of this season.
Oof is right
Today, Bleacher Report's Sara Civian wrote an article titled "1 Word For Every NHL Team After the 1st Month of the 2025-26 Season." For the Senators' one word, Civian simply said "oof."
"It's been a rough start for the Senators, who have been without Brady Tkachuk for the majority of the season, and who keep benching Jordan Spence for some reason," Civian said.
