Watching Ales Hemsky dance through the Tampa Bay defence last night, I couldn’t help but feel like I had just witnessed the most impressive goal in Ottawa Senators history.
And as I sat there trying to recall better goals in the history of the team, the list started to grow. I asked Sens fans on Twitter this afternoon and they started to remind me of goals I had completely forgotten. Ottawa has been lucky to have some incredibly skilled players over the years and the result has been a long list of highlight reel goals. So let’s take a little walk down memory lane as we countdown the Top 10 goals in Ottawa Senators history.
HONOURABLE MENTION

Erik Karlsson vs. Pittsburgh
Antoine Vermette vs. Tampa Bay
Jason Spezza vs. Vancouver
Jason Spezza vs. Pittsburgh
Peter Regin vs. Chicago
THE TOP 10
And now the Top 10. This certainly wasn’t easy and I expect a healthy amount of debate in the comment section below. Here goes!
10. Marian Hossa vs. Philadelphia
9. Jason Spezza vs. Florida
8. Nick Foligno vs. Detroit
7. Antoine Vermette vs. Dallas
