In a special edition of Sens 1-on-1, Bruce Garrioch sits down with Ottawa Citizen Charge writer Nicole Baldin to preview the PWHL Walter Cup final between the Ottawa Charge and the Montreal Victoire, which begins on Thursday.
Redemption for the Charge
Baldin explains why this series represents a shot at redemption for the Charge, who are looking to capture their first PWHL title after a hard-fought playoff run.

Key Factors Against Montreal
The discussion also covers expectations for the series against the Victoire, including the potential impact of Fanuza Kadirova as an X-factor for Ottawa. The conversation touches on the team's strengths, defensive strategies, and the importance of home-ice advantage.
PWHL Expansion Talk
Garrioch and Baldin also explore the possibility of future expansion for the PWHL, as the league continues to grow in popularity and reach. The Walter Cup final is expected to draw significant attention from hockey fans across Canada.
