2006–07 Ottawa Senators season
Encyclopedia
The 2006–07 Ottawa Senators
season (the team's 15th
season
) saw the team rebound from a disappointing early exit from the 2006 playoffs. The team made it all the way to the Stanley Cup
finals before losing to the Anaheim Ducks
. After numerous personnel changes at the start of the season, the team had a poor record until December. The poor record sparked numerous trade rumours in the media. The team turned their play around to place second in the division and won three playoff series to make it to the Stanley Cup Finals, the first in Ottawa
in 80 years.
(who signed a 5–year deal with the Boston Bruins
), Brian Pothier
(who signed with the Washington Capitals
), goalie Dominik Hasek (who signed a 1–year deal with the Detroit Red Wings
), and forward Vaclav Varada
(who signed with HC Davos
of the Swiss Elite League).
Former Carolina Hurricanes
starter Martin Gerber
was signed to fill the void left by Hasek, and Ottawa also signed defenceman Joe Corvo
, formerly of the Los Angeles Kings
. A short time later, they traded star forward Martin Havlat
and centre Bryan Smolinski
to the Chicago Blackhawks
for Tom Preissing
, Josh Hennessy
, Michal Barinka
, and a second-round draft pick in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft
.
The club signed Russian centre Alexei Kaigorodov
to a two-year entry level contract. They also signed blueliner Jamie Allison
and re-signed Antoine Vermette
, Chris Neil
, and Peter Schaefer to avoid arbitration proceedings. In addition, Ottawa re-signed Chris Kelly and Jason Spezza
to two-year contracts each, as well as Christoph Schubert
. Midway through the season, the Senators acquired centre

from the Phoenix Coyotes

between Ray Emery
and Martin Gerber
at first. Gerber struggled and Emery won the starting job.
On January 3, 2007, Ottawa acquired centre Mike Comrie
from the Phoenix Coyotes
in exchange for prospect Alexei Kaigorodov
. Ottawa was in need of another centre due to injuries and was eager to shed Kaigorodov, who was suspended for refusing an assignment to the Senators' American Hockey League
affiliate, the Binghamton Senators
, instead opting to play in Russia.
Dany Heatley
was the representative for Ottawa at the 2007 All-Star Game
for the East, managing a 94.0 MPH slapshot in the skills competition and a goal and two assists in the East's 12–9 loss to the West. For the 'YoungStars' game, sophomore defenceman Andrej Meszaros
and forward Patrick Eaves
participated.
On February 22, 2007, the Senators were involved in a huge fight with the Buffalo Sabres over an alleged late hit by Neil on Sabres co-captain Chris Drury
. Although the referees ruled it was a legal hit (and replays and analysts concurred after the game), a fight ensued after play restarted. Eight players were assessed a total of 100 penalty minutes, and five players, including Senators Ray Emery and Chris Phillips, were ejected. The Senators lost the match, 6–5, in a shootout, one of a record eight overtime games and four shootouts that night.
The team finished second in the Northeast division, behind the Presidents' Trophy
-winning Buffalo Sabres, and third in the conference in points (the team was seeded fourth due to the precedence of divisional winners). Because the Montreal Canadiens
and the Toronto Maple Leafs
both narrowly missed the playoffs, the Senators were the only Canadian-based team in the Eastern Conference to qualify for the playoffs.
Playoffs
The Ottawa Senators ended the 2006–07 regular season as the Eastern Conference's fourth seed.
The Senators started the playoffs against the fifth-seeded Pittsburgh Penguins, whom they defeated four games to one. The second-seeded New Jersey Devils were their next opponent, with the same four-games-to-one result, again in favor of the Senators. In the Eastern Conference Final, the Senators faced the top-seeded Buffalo Sabres. Once again, Ottawa won in five games, which gave the Senators their first ever trip to the Stanley Cup Finals. This was also the Sens' first series win against the Sabres.
Finals
The Anaheim Ducks were their opponent in the finals and the four-games-to-one result stayed the same for the Senators, the only difference being this time it was in the opposing team's favor. The Ducks were successful in shutting down the Senators's top line to the point where it was broken up in game five. All games were close except for game five which the Senators lost 6–2, when two goals went in off Senators defencemen and Phillips caused an own-goal, which turned out to be the game-winning and Cup-winning goal attributed to Travis Moen
, and possibly the only such goal in Finals history. Alfredsson was the Senators' top forward in the series as he had been all playoffs, scoring four goals. Heatley and Spezza were held to one goal and two assists in total.
and Anton Volchenkov
won praise from the media for their "shutdown effectiveness" against opposing top lines. The 'CASH line' of Spezza, Heatley, and Alfredsson was outstanding offensively, scoring nearly half of the Senators' goals in the post-season, appearing on The Hockey News cover for their play. The line tied for the NHL and team scoring lead with 22 points in 20 playoff games. Goaltender Ray Emery played all 20 games and posted 13 wins.

Playoffs
The Ottawa Senators ended the 2006–07 regular season as the Eastern Conference's fourth seed.
The Senators started the playoffs against the fifth-seeded Pittsburgh Penguins, whom they defeated four games to one. The second-seeded New Jersey Devils were their next opponent, with the same four-games-to-one result, again in favor of the Senators. In the Eastern Conference Final, the Senators faced the top-seeded Buffalo Sabres. Once again, Ottawa won in five games, which gave the Senators their first ever trip to the Stanley Cup Finals. This was also the Sens' first series win against the Sabres.
Finals
The Anaheim Ducks were their opponent in the finals and the four-games-to-one result stayed the same for the Senators, the only difference being this time it was in the opposing team's favor. The Ducks were successful in shutting down the Senators's top line to the point where it was broken up in game five. All games were close except for game five which the Senators lost 6–2, when two goals went in off Senators defencemen and Phillips caused an own-goal, which turned out to be the game-winning and Cup-winning goal attributed to Travis Moen

, and possibly the only such goal in Finals history. Alfredsson was the Senators' top forward in the series as he had been all playoffs, scoring four goals. Heatley and Spezza were held to one goal and two assists in total.

won praise from the media for their "shutdown effectiveness" against opposing top lines. The 'CASH line' of Spezza, Heatley, and Alfredsson was outstanding offensively, scoring nearly half of the Senators' goals in the post-season, appearing on The Hockey News cover for their play. The line tied for the NHL and team scoring lead with 22 points in 20 playoff games. Goaltender Ray Emery played all 20 games and posted 13 wins.
