This week in Senators talk
The shows spent all week on Brady Tkachuk's return to Ottawa, with the crowd's sustained intensity toward their former player dominating the conversation. Beyond the emotional noise, the talk kept coming back to what the Senators are doing now, how they've moved on from Tkachuk by leaning into skill and depth, and whether the team's strong start represents a real shift in their direction going forward.
