Welcome to SensChirp

For those of you that may have missed it, today I was lucky enough to have an article published over on the official website of the Ottawa Senators. 

Obviously an extremely exciting opportunity and one that could mean some new visitors to this site in the coming days. If by chance you are here on SensChirp for the first time; allow me to introduce you to the website.

My name is Dave and I have run the website here at www.senschirp.ca for the past three years.  What started as the odd tip on the Sportsnet forums as either Chara03 or JoseCuervo has evolved into a full blown community and in my biased opinion, one of the best places to talk Sens Hockey on the net.

I am a fan first. Blogger second. I don’t claim to be a journalist and I know I’m not an expert (so don’t bother askin’ me, Andy!). I’ve always run this site as a hobby more than anything else. Sure there have been some perks along the way, but this is by no means my full time job.

My role on this site is simple. I do my best to keep the site up to date with all the latest information about our Ottawa Senators. I share inside information when it’s available. I toss in the odd rumour but am careful to label it as such. And I post any and all relevant information related to our team.

I do a regular Game Day post during the season. I post my thoughts on the game afterwards. It’s pretty simple really.

The real strength of this site is the readers.

Always up for a debate, the folks in the SensChirp comment section are what makes this place “go”.  This is a place for both die hard and casual fans. 

On the days where I’m away from the computer or under the weather from a night in the Wisers Box, you can always count on the comment section. It’s almost like a twitter feed in a lot of ways. Readers post links from around the net. Post updates as they come. And post their opinions on the topic of the day. Only difference is here you can use more than 140 characters.

If you are new here, I welcome you.  If you’ve always been here, I thank you.

This is SensChirp.

  • Earlier today, I discussed the Shea Weber offer sheet and what it could mean for the Ottawa Senators.  The Sens have shown an interest in Flyers forward Danny Briere in the past and could revisit that if Philadelphia is looking to move some salary. Check out the post from earlier here.
