Season of professional ice hockey team
The 2016β17 Ottawa Senators season was the
25th season of the
Ottawa Senators of the
National Hockey League (NHL).
[1] After failing to make the
2016 Stanley Cup playoffs , the Senators replaced their management and coaching staff, promoting
Pierre Dorion to general manager, and hiring
Guy Boucher and
Marc Crawford and assistants to coach the team. The team would defy the predictions of much of the media by qualifying for the
2017 playoffs , and then by winning two rounds in the playoffs before losing in double overtime in game seven of the Eastern Conference Final to the eventual Stanley Cup champion
Pittsburgh Penguins .
As of 2024, this is the only time in the post-
Daniel Alfredsson era where the Senators have come close to playing in the Stanley Cup Finals. It would have been their first appearance in the Finals since
2007 . Coincidentally they were close to a rematch with the
Anaheim Ducks , whom they lost to in the 2007 Finals. As of 2024, this is the most recent season the Senators qualified for the playoffs.
The season was notable for off-ice issues. Despite the success of the team, attendance at Canadian Tire Centre dropped during the regular season, to the lowest average gate by the team in 20 seasons.
[2] The team fired its head of marketing early in the season. The team also replaced its president, co-founder
Cyril Leeder , with
Tom Anselmi in January 2017.
Off-season
On April 10, 2016, the day after the final game of the 2015β16 season, general manager
Bryan Murray announced his resignation as manager and that he would continue in an advisory role with the club. Assistant general manager
Pierre Dorion was elevated to the general manager position.
[3] On April 12, the Senators fired head coach
Dave Cameron .
[4] On May 8, the Senators hired former
Tampa Bay Lightning head coach
Guy Boucher as their new head coach.
[5] On the following day,
Marc Crawford was announced as associate coach.
[6] On June 15, the Senators hired
Rob Cookson as an assistant coach. Cookson had spent the last four seasons as an assistant to Crawford with
ZSC Lions of Switzerland's
National League A , with whom he contributed to the team's championship in the 2013β14 season. Prior to this, he was a member of the
Calgary Flames coaching staff for 11 seasons from the 2000β01 to 2010β11 seasons.
[7]
The Senators announced the retirement of the #11 jersey of former team captain
Daniel Alfredsson . The ceremony took place on December 29, prior to the Senators' home game against the Detroit Red Wings. This is the second jersey to be retired by the current Senators franchise since they came back into the league. The first jersey retirement ceremony the club held was for the late
Frank Finnigan of the original
Ottawa Senators , who had his #8 jersey retired prior to the current franchise's inaugural game on October 8, 1992, against the Montreal Canadiens.
[8]
The Senators changed their
ECHL affiliate after their former affiliate, the
Evansville IceMen , went dormant for the season due to arena lease issues. On July 14, 2016, the Senators announced an affiliation agreement with the
Wichita Thunder .
[9] On September 26, the Senators announced that they would move their
American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate
Binghamton Senators to
Belleville, Ontario , for the 2017β18 season. The club was renamed the
Belleville Senators .
[10]
Preseason
The Senators played a seven-game pre-season schedule. The schedule included two home games against the
Montreal Canadiens and
Buffalo Sabres , three road games against the Montreal Canadiens, Buffalo Sabres, and
Winnipeg Jets , and two neutral-site games against the
Toronto Maple Leafs with one taking place in
Halifax ,
Nova Scotia and the other in
Saskatoon ,
Saskatchewan .
[11]
Regular season
The Senators opened the regular season at home on Wednesday, October 12 against their provincial rivals, the
Toronto Maple Leafs . The first away game of their schedule was Monday, October 17 in
Detroit against the
Red Wings . They will conclude their home schedule on Saturday, April 8 against the
New York Rangers . Their last regular season game will take place a day later in
Brooklyn, New York against the
Islanders .
[12]
On December 29, 2016, before a game against the
Detroit Red Wings , the Senators retired the #11 jersey of former player
Daniel Alfredsson . On January 24, 2017, the Senators honoured
Bryan Murray as the first member of their "Ring of Honour" at the Canadian Tire Centre, before a game against the
Washington Capitals . On January 25, 2017, the Senators announced a new team president
Tom Anselmi , replacing founder
Cyril Leeder who steps down as president of the team.
On March 17, 2017, the NHL announced that an outdoor game would be played at the
TD Place Stadium in Ottawa on December 16, 2017. Known as the
NHL 100 Classic , it is a regular-season game for the Senators and the
Montreal Canadiens . This will commemorate the first NHL game, held in Ottawa on December 19, 1917, between the Senators and Canadiens. It is one of the events to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of the NHL and the 150-year anniversary of the founding of Canada. According to NHL president
Gary Bettman : "To launch our next 100 years, we believe it is only right to bring the Canadiens and the Senators back together."
[13]
The attendance at home games dropped in 2016-17 according to ESPN. The Senators drew an average of 16,744 per game for a total of 686,534 for the season. This was 87% of capacity.
[14] In 2015β16, the Senators drew an average of 18,084 per game.
[15] The drop in attendance was noticed by the media, especially after games in the playoffs did not sell out. The drop, which was the third-largest in the league in the last ten years, was attributed to various factors, including a payroll systems issue for
Government of Canada employees, lack of support for francophone fans, grumbling about the owner and other factors.
[2] Early in the season, the club fired persons in its marketing department, which led to at least one lawsuit.
[16]
Playoffs
On April 6, the Ottawa Senators qualified for the 2017 playoffs with a 2β1 shootout win over Boston Bruins. On April 8, the Ottawa Senators clinched home-ice advantage in the first round for the first time since 2007 after a 3β1 victory over the New York Rangers.
The Senators played the Boston Bruins in the first round. This was the first OttawaβBoston series since the
1927 Stanley Cup Finals , the first for the contemporary Ottawa franchise versus the Bruins. The Senators defeated the Bruins four games to two and moved on to the second round.
The Senators faced the New York Rangers in the second round. This was the second postseason meeting in the last five years between the two teams. The New York Rangers won the series 4-3 back in 2012. The Senators defeated the Rangers four games to two and advanced to the Eastern Conference Final. It marked the third time in franchise history that the Senators made it to the third round, and the first time since 2007, when they advanced to the
Stanley Cup Finals after defeating the Buffalo Sabres in five games.
In the conference final, the Senators took on the Pittsburgh Penguins. This marked the fourth time that the two teams met in a postseason series, with the Penguins taking three out of the four matchups. The Ottawa Senators are the only Canadian team to advance to the Conference Final in three different seasons in the last 20 years. The Senators would fall in seven games to the Penguins, with the seventh game being decided in double overtime. The Penguins would go on to defeat the
Nashville Predators to win the Stanley Cup.
