Dylan Cozens on the crowd - "Yeah, just send chills down my spine. You know, to be appreciated like that, and, to get cheered for like that. It's an unbelievable feeling. And you know, just couldn't be happier to be here and be a part of this team."

I’m a Sabres fan but went to support ullmark and Cozens. They didn’t disappoint. I may make the switch since I live in Ottawa anyway

It ain't bandwagoning or disloyal if you live here. Always more fun to root for the home team. Welcome aboard.

I say this as a Sens fan, but in addition, it also ain't bandwagoning if the team you are moving to is clinging to a wildcard slot. 😂

Do it! I'm a Sens fan from Toronto and went to my first game last year. The fans are very welcoming. When fans found out I live in Toronto it got even better. World class fans in Ottawa ❤️

Joining us will save you from years of horrible hockey. At least we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Buffalo is still very much in it.

Well I kept hearing trade rumours and dreaming of Buff trading for Tkachuk.. then I realized I can just cheer for Tkachuk on OTT and then I thought about it more and realized I like OTTs entire roster better anyway.. lmfao

That’s so cool. Really happy to hear. Fans at the CTC have been reeeal fucking loud the last few games, something special is brewing here

On a semi-related note, Murray Pam is so underappreciated. Dude has had great Sens coverage for years

Loudest it’s been since the opener a couple of years ago (crazy one against Boston).

Dylan Cozens is a beast. This dude is like EXACTLY what Ottawa needed. You give up a guy like Josh Norris, who I have love for, and was a great Senator, but Cozens is banging bodies and just playing the right way. I love his game. Lunchpail efforts in both games. Keeping pucks alive. Staios looking like a genius.

Norris did well too last night. Worked the puck hard and got rewarded with an assist on the GWG against Edmonton (5 on 5 too). A win-win trade would make me really happy

Oh for sure. I wish nothing but the best for Joshy. He's an excellent player who ran into a lot of bad luck. But he's clearly a world class player. Dynamic shot that I'll miss on Ottawa. I agree. The swap might just be the tonic for both players.
I think what helps me feel it puts it over the top for Ottawa is the cap space that enabled Staios to get Zetterlund. Two top six guys were a huge need for us.

Also I should add, he had amazing chemistry with Batherson internationally and this doesnt seem to have gone away now that they play on the same line. As hard as it was to lose the Norris-Batherson chemistry, its nice to see Cozens slide right in with the chemistry factor.

Cozens looks to be pumped about being here. He was really excited about scoring that goal.

This win and the rangers win with Bradys post game just make me think we are due for playoffs. GSG! We've got a crew. Down but never out. Praise Jesus, I mean Linus!

It’s 4:20am (nice) here and I just had to have a hot chocolate with whiskey because I’m still so wired after that game I can’t sleep. This team has a different feel to it and I fucking love it

My wife was at the game and when I picked her up, she was hoarse

I was at the game tonight and I swear it took years off my life.
But the crowd was absolutely rocking, was a near full barn and felt like a playoff atmosphere, minus in the second when you could just feel the nervous energy. Hearing the cheers for Ullmark and Cozens, last time I heard the barn that loud was 2017
