This One's For The Fans

I am really looking forward to the skills competition on Sunday, this will be the third year in a row that I have attended and the crowds have been progressivly growing. I really enjoy watching the team having a good time and showing off some skills. But my favorite part is the children that participate with the guys, very fun to watch. Looking forward to an exciting end of the season and a long playoff run.

Hey, Fisher,
I just wanted to tell you that you are my favourite player and that you inspire me. I am your biggest fan. You are a great player and one of the best there are. I hope one day to meet you because that is a dream of mine. Good luck. GO SENS GO!!

mike, your a great man on the ice and off. Thanks very much

Fisher, you are my favourite player on the Sens. You are a workhorse and a good man. I hope the rest of your season is highly lucrative.

Mad love from here in Edmonton!!! ahaha

Hi, I have every belief that you guys will do great throughout the rest of the season. You're a great team. Best of luck defending your title at the skills competition!!!
Go Sens Go!!!!!

Best of luck in up coming games!!! Play hard!!

I think you'll do great on Sunday. :P

You don't have to worry about being traded, that's for sure! My only worry is that I love seeing you play with Alfie, but he's so good with Spezza and Heatley that it's hard to break them up. Hopefully you'll settle in with a sweet line by post-season. And you're one of the guys who makes it pretty easy for us fans to be fans of the team, so I'm not surprised 15,000 of us will be there! Good luck in the competition and win tonight's game (3-3 right now)!

hey Michael,

It is always great to watch the skills competition. My family has gone since I was really little... I like that the team seems to sit back, hang out, and ham it up for the fans. That is the best! I can't wait!

Have fun Sunday. ;p

Hi Mike,
I have every belief that you guys will do great throughout the rest of the season. You're a great team and you all do Ottawa proud.
Best of luck defending your title in the skills competition!!!!!
Go Sens Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow.. Mike Fisher, you are really brave to go out infront of all thoughs people and play! Good luck at he skills compitition I am looking forward to seeing you and the rest of the team play!! It will be so fun! Good Luck!!

Hi Mike and the guys, A true fan is always a fan. Yes, its been a tough few weeks but we are as usual getting it together...See you guys @ Scotia Place. Thanks Mike for always giving it everything you have...Cheers Jany.

You guys have fan support, becasue we love our team!! Keep playing your best and I will be a faithful fan!! I LOVE THE SENATORS!! I can't get enough games. YOU GUYS ROCK!! I think you, Fisher, are a completely overlooked superstar!! GO SENS GO!!

Mike , you cant fool us. You work hard, are in great shape and obviously take your responsibilities with your career very seriously. we enjoy watching you add energy into the play when it has been flagging and also your commitment to making things happen on the ice every time you are out. We do hope yall have some fun out there on sunday...and on from there too. Our team is the best and when things are going well, you all look like you are having fun. when things not going well, got to find a way to have fun again,lighten up the tension and relax about outcomes. We understand that life in pro hockey is tough , it is work , and it is about business, but if you are not having fun, isn't it game over on the high performance arena??? Seems to me if its all about the work with no sense of play we all lose. As for the trade deadline,and the pressure that results from listening to the rumor mill, somehow the sideshow will go on but today on the ice, is the only thing that counts..and you nailed it tonite so ...its a good day!cheers, looking forward to seeing you have some fun with montreal saturday night. cas

I’m thrilled that fans are finally getting a blog post from you, Mike! It is interesting to read that players do feel concerned about the eminent trade deadline. In your case, I wouldn’t have any worries…you’re staying put right here in Ottawa! Regardless of the recent string of losses, it’s inspiring to read and hear about your constant hard work, determination, and focus to win. Also, I must thank you for setting up your official fan-club. It’s an overdue outlet for Sens fans that truly like…Mike! All the best for the reminder of the season! So far, so good!

Hopefully the white team will actually win this year!

Congrats on the amazing year you are having. You play such an entertaining Canadian hard nose, always give it 100% brand of hockey. Looking forward to another long run this year!!!
The Skills Challenge is fun every year, can't wait for Sunday!

Hey Fisher!

You guys are still first place in the east! Congrats! Keep up the good work! We're all cheering hard for you guys!

Good luck in the next 27 games of the season!

GO SENS GO!

I live in Victoria, B.C and just want to say Go Sens Go! The Sens Army is here and want to say the team is great. Fish, Spezzball, Jumpin' Joe, THE Dean, Heater, Mr. Paddock, and the rest: Alfie for MVP; go sens go!

Welcome back Heater! Last night you guys connected and rocked!!! I was so happy to see you all playing like hungry wolves again. I am one of those 15,000 fans that will be there Sunday of course with my Fisher Jersey on which my kids got me for christmas :)it will be a great time and looking forward to see what you are all lacking of...because in my eyes...none of you lack anything! Keep playing hard! Get the Cup!! GO SENS GO!!!!!!!!

I can't wait for the Skills comp on Sunday...Only problem is, I have super crappy tickets!! Oh well that's okay, it's going to be a fun family event *going with Maman and Papa*. Go Mike Go!!!! You'll defeat your title :). I'm happy to see other players are getting involved in the Blog now! not that Alfie & Spezza weren't doing a good job by all means...But its fun to read what other people have to say also.

Does anyone know where we can find out about Open Practices I have emailed the club asking about them etc, but no response! :( I'd love to attend one!!!

Have an awesome day guys! :)

Mike,

I always wondered how trade rumours affected the pysche of the players, it's definitely a sad part of the game. As a fan, we sit here hoping our favourites remain on the team. But you're right, ultimately it is what makes the team better. The possibility to bring the cup to Ottawa, what a dream for the team and the fans.

Mike, good luck on the hardest shot, you'll blow them away definitely! Also, to you and your team mates, know that the Ottawa fans are behind each and everyone of you 100%!!!!

Go SENS Go!

Hey Mike;
You're the heart and soul of this team. Keep working hard.

Hi Mike, wanted to tell you I am a fan. From what I've read you seem to be a pretty good guy along with being a great hockey player.
Good luck with the season!
PS: I live in Toronto, but am a Sens Fan.

I knew you would beat us last night and I now realize I am a true Sens fan when I root for you against the Panthers. Keep winning and tell CN to keep hitting! Keep your eye on the cup! Any comments on the big puck?

hey Mike! Im your number one fan! Your the hardest working player on the team, and you inspire all of Ottawa! Thanks so much!!

Big BIG fan of yours right over here Fisher!!! It's really neat having all the players write these blogs. Plus no one can beat you in the skills competition for hardest shot....you're just too darn great to be beaten!

Mike, good job this year and keep up the good work. The league needs more hardworking selfless players like you. You've got a big fan here in South West Nova Scotia.

Trade rumors must drive you crazy, but i think you'll be fine, i mean come on, face it your amazing.
From the faithful in New York
GO SENS GO!

Just wanted to say HI Mike and keep up the hard work and it will soon pay off..a fan through the good times and the bad...
God Bless

you are the heart and soul of this team, keep working hard, you are an inspiration to alot of people on and off the ice.

Hey Fish,

What are your thoughts on Deano winning the fastest skater again! Come on the old dude has got some wheelies. He makes Vermette look slow. Whaddya think?

hey mike,
I just want to say that you played very well last nightand you keep playing the way you did last night and I bet you and your team will be off to the play off's for sure!!

You are my all time favourite player....keep up the good work Fish!

Hey Fish! Just wanted to wish ya good luck on the hardest shot competition and to have fun playing against your teammates! Good luck against Montreal too, should definitely be a good game, hopefully you get a goal or an assist! It means alot too that you sign autographs after some of the games too!! See ya on the 16th for the game against the devils!!!

It's not hard to be a Sens fan with you on the team. Good luck to you and all the guys through the final stretch and in the playoffs.

Hi Mike,
I was happy to read your blog! We've been going to the Sens skills competition for many years, and we love it! It's a fun day! It's nice to see the players in a different light. I'm also worried about the trade deadline. I hope we don't loose to many young players like Vermette... I also want to tell you that it's was super to watch the Overtime show when you were the guest and to hear you talk about your faith was very touching. I loved that episode! Keep up the excellent work you do every night you play! GO SENS GO!!!
Chantal from Cumberland

hey mike,
ur my fave player on the team!! GO SENS GO! good luck on saturday!! c ya

hey mike,
having a great year...as usual. have a good skills competition and season. bring the cup home to ottawa
woohhooo

Thank you very much for being such a great, honest, and hard-working player. You and the team really held it together when Alfie and Heatley were out of the lineup. I noticed you were getting some extra interview time when Alfie was away too. No doubt, you are one of the leaders who will take this club to the Cup and into the future. And, I believe, in order to lead you also have to serve. You serve the team in every regard by being an example of what hard work and dedication really means.

I've been patiently waiting for Sunday, the one and only time I've ever wanted to see a weekend go by faster. Can't wait to see you defend your title.

Go Team RED

You're an amazing player to watch, you put everything into your game. This is the year the Sens go all the way! Congrats on the win tonight againt Montreal!

mike, its great to see you play your heart out every single game and represent this team as the heart and soul player. this city backs you all the way to the stanley cup again this year! you saw the support last year and the love this town has for this team and it will only be greater this year!
i hope you are a senator for life mike! you are an awesome person on and off the ice.
go sens go!

hey mike,
i've been fortunate enough to get the chance to watch you play from your first year with the club to the present, where you have truely blossomed as a player. best of luck in the rest of the season! i can only wonder what it must be like to go from a city where 15,000 people show up for a Skills Comp. to city where the arena is half filled for a league game. Does it affect players at all?
much love!

Hey Mike,
I just wanted to congratulate you on your cup run last year. You were like a man on fire!!! If not Alfie, then you were definitely MVP!! It's nice for us fans to know we don't have to worry about you getting traded. I expect to see the "C" on your jersey when (God Forbid) Alfie retires. Keep up the GREAT work. You are a force to be reckoned with out there. :)
I can't wait to see you on Bank Street this summer, with the Cup in hand.

Hey, Mike Fisher!
Great time today at the Sens Skills Competition! It was my first time and I enjoyed it. Sadly the Red Team lost though. You were great...defended your title for another year. 105--WOW! That's fast!! Anyways, just wanted to say HI and tell you that you're probably one of my favourites! I hope to meet you one day. Good luck in future games...I know you'll do great. Say HI to the rest of the guys for me!

hey mike. great job at the skills competition. it was full of energy and lots of fun. good luck on the rest of the season.

Hey Mike,

Congrats on the hardest shot! You guys were fun to watch and I had a great time! You are a great player and I'm sure you'll get even better with the years, just as Alfie is showing this year.

All the best to a great guy

Hi Mike! I'm an Italian Sens fan. I can't see your match directly in Ottawa, but I follow you by the website. thanks so much for all the emotions you give me and good luck for the season!

Hey Mike,
Congrats on that 105...WOW. Best of luck to you and the team. I loved watching you on the bench yesterday...you are awesome with kids!!

Mike, I just wanted to follow up and say how impressive the whole event was yesterday (let alone your 105MPH Slapshot...WOW...). Truly, you guys are a class act and having that many fans turn out to support a community event must have been very special for everyone involved.

Many thanks again for all that you and the team do for Ottawa and the Valley.

Hey Mike! i was at the Skills game.My first time. i had excellent seats only to find out you were at the other end of the rink! Grats on your 105mph! at least it was at the end i was sitting at!:) I had a great time, thank you Ottawa Senators for such a memorable afternoon..you guys rock!! Keep up the good work! GO SENS GO!!!

Hey There Mike,

Congratulations on winning the hardest shot,,Wow!!!

Hey Fisher,
You are one of a kind. You're such an amazing player. You're a real nice person with a big heart. It is amazing what you dd with Elgin. I'm sure he'd be proud of you. Good luck on the rest of the season and just keep playing the way you are, and i'm sure you'll win the cup:)
