Cynics, you can't imagine my happiness after returning from the U.S. yesterday to this glorious news. Birds are singing, deer are eating from my hand...I feel like I'm in a Disney movie (or an election campaign for Barack Obama). Read it one more time for good measure:
To make up for the loss of grit, the Senators recalled Cody Bass from Binghamton of the AHL. In 16 games with the Baby Sens this season, Bass has one goal and one assist while adding 37 minutes in penalties.
Just ignore those stats that make our boy seem like he serves less of a purpose. The Senators backed up the Brinks truck to guys like Spezza and Heatley -- they can score the goals. The OBC's player of choice is here to kick some ass along the boards, to mock the ways of yore, and to add some general intrigue to a team that lately, is the equivalent of an Ambien tablet with a warm milk chaser. The OBC will quietly standby to see how Bass' call-up develops. If he looks like he'll be staying for a while, be warned: We're coming for you, and we're armed with poly-cotton blend.

Dany Heatley Speedwagon: Creator of massive e-mail chains and general Deadspin honk
Freewillig: Keeping tabs on the team from below the 49th parallel
Miss Meaghan: Balancing out the estrogen representation for the OBC on the West Coast
Miss Sherry: Responsible for infiltration behind enemy lines and quirky antics
Senators' Lost Cojones: Her Majesty's Keeper of all things Simpsons-related
TUC: Rumour-mongering, punk rock and giving sports media the bitchface
Now you know. No more questions...we have much work to do.
