Hopefully Ryan is feeling well enough tomorrow for this one to light it up against his hometown team.

Tonight Bingo is in action. Let's see if O'Dell and Paul have any worth.

Apparently we are in the bottom 5 when it comes to the pk. Last season we were in the top 15 for pk (11th).

What happened? Did losing one player (Condra) really cause this team to go from top 15 all the way to bottom 5 when it comes to the pk?

Our power play increased a bit. Last season our percentage was 16.8 percent. This season its 21.7 percent. Our pk percentage decreased from 82.9 percent to 75.8%.

We really need to improve our pk.

Yip. It was losing Condra and Gryba. Condra and JGP were magic on the kill.

I agree. Half of our best PK unit left. That left a massive hole that is yet to be filled.

Role players can be more important to a team than just being labelled "bottom 6/bottom pairing scrubs".

But, it's done and over with. We need to work on a solution now.

Well, its Ottawa. All underperformers from Philly gets on the board. If they start backup goalie - shoutout guaranteed. In other words, easy loss.
That was nice run. See you in a panic thread after this one

Get.Condra.Back.

Done and done.

11 hrs to go!

Sens just recalled Mike Kostka, per the Sens twitter account.

WE are consistant at being inconsistant

We have 4 SHG though.

60 pp's 13 goals. 0 shorties against.

66 pk's. 16 goals. 4 shorties for.

On special teams we have been shorthanded 6 more times then advantaged.

Overall we are a +1 goals for overall on both special teams.

I think it is basically a wash and we are just average at most things as a team. It early too, so statistically we are unlikely to stay as poor as 75.8 pct pk over a longer sample size.

I think we miss Condra a bit on the PK...now... But that it is not too big a deal and later this season we won't really miss him much at all.

Not something I worry about for this team. I worry most about the defence past the top pairing. Mostly because they can't play the puck out of the defensive end well. Everytime I see Wideman I want to see him play more....

 

[GWNR]

I hope we score more goals than the other team scores.

 

[tony d]

Should be a good game, Philly's a team we can and should beat. 4 to 2 Ottawa is my prediction.

 

[Baby Ryan]

Hopefully the emotion they played with carries to this game as well.

Was really fun to watch the last game with how much they visibly showed their emotions on the ice.

Always love watching an Ottawa-Philly game

 

[ChocolateLeclaire]

Hopefully Ryan is feeling well enough tomorrow for this one to light it up against his hometown team.

Hopefully Ryan is healthy enough to remind Giroux to ditch Philly and return to his hometown team in Ottawa.

Smith + 5th round pick for Giroux (e4)

#Sens Head Coach Dave Cameron say Cowen will return to the lineup for Wiercioch. No other lineup changes.

 

[Six Assets]

Sens just recalled Mike Kostka, per the Sens twitter account.

any better alternatives?

 

[derriko]

If Cowen is in for Wier, whats the point of Kostka?

 

[TheNewEra]

If Cowen is in for Wier, whats the point of Kostka?

Extra defenceman in case of injury, especially with our upcoming road trip

 

[bert]

If Cowen is in for Wier, whats the point of Kostka?

I was thinking whats the point of him being the call up with the current injury situation. Isnt he a righty, I thought Claesson would be the call up.

 

[topshelf15]

This is a game we should win ,just need to get a string going here

 

[Sensinitis]

What's with all this Prince scratching?

Did he do something to anger Cameron?

It's not like Puempel has been playing much better than him.
