But no team&#8217;s promo slate caught attention quite like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/category\/ottawa-senators\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Ottawa Senators<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Why? They might be dropping one of the funniest bobbleheads ever.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/sweepstakes?cmpid=org=ok::ag=owned::mc=editorial::src=ok_content::cmp=sec_sweeps::add=SEC_Sweeps_Promotion\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pack your bags, football fans!

Enter Now!<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">I always look forward to these schedules because they remind me of being a kid. I&#8217;d look through the Hershey Bears schedule and bug my parents to get tickets for games when they were giving out bobbleheads or golf balls or whatever.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">That was at the peak of bobblehead giveaways, and I feel like those are coming back. If you flip through the Senators&#8217; schedule, you&#8217;ll notice that there&#8217;s a bobblehead giveaway Jan. 10 when the team hosts the reigning Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">You can see the silhouette of a player taking a slapshot, and that has people thinking it will be a Ridley Greig bobblehead giveaway.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">That&#8217;s because Greig was part of an infamous moment that happened during the 2023-24 season in which he put a game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on ice by blasting a slap shot into an empty net to seal the win.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">The Leafs, particularly defenseman Morgan Rielly, didn&#8217;t like this one bit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">That&#8217;s not exactly great sportsmanship, but it is objectively hilarious that he blasted a clapper like that from point-blank range.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/sports\/nyc-snowstorm-morgan-rielly-in-person-hearing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Rielly was actually given a five-game suspension<\/a> for jumping on Greig, which is a pretty hefty punishment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Interestingly, the giveaway isn&#8217;t for a game against the Leafs, but as The Hockey News points out, it&#8217;s common practice for giveaways like this to come on nights when the team anticipates not selling out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">A game against Toronto in Ottawa? Those should sell out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Those bobbleheads will be a hot commodity, and I think the Senators could be a team to watch this year. They were on the cusp of a playoff berth this past season, and are without a doubt a team on the rise.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">One of their biggest problems? They play in a strong Atlantic Division with the Leafs, Panthers, Lightning, Canadiens, and maybe even the Bruins or Red Wings, who could be fighting for a playoff spot.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Sorry, Sabres fans; I think you&#8217;ll need to wait a little longer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Is an infamous Ridley Greig moment being commemorated in bobblehead-form?
