[Senscore]

Has to be good old Tuggernuts

 

[LuckyPierre]

Kovalev was strong here in his first year. The Foligno-Fisher-Kovalev line was humming down the stretch in 2010, providing nasty forechecking and possession behind the Alfie-Spezza line.

Kovalev tore his ACL with a week left in the regular season, missed what was a good first round fight against the Penguins, and was never the same afterwards. But he lived up to his contract until that injury.

Hammond needs to be added. Greatest single-season performance in Sens history.

He was very good when he was on (PPG for 2 months Dec to Feb), but I remember he was frustratingly inconsistent night to night. You knew watching him he still had it even at his age and I guess they can't have expected much more but still. Also, not that this really takes much away, but he had a 4 goal and 3 goal game during 09/10 - take those away and he had 11 goals in 75 games with 18 minutes of ice-time.

I'm voting White but I expect it to be Tugnutt.

Where's this beauty? (Interesting fact, one of his sons was drafted by the Habs in 2019 and the other plays for the Preds)

Yes, Kovalev was inconsistent. He was his entire career, so it was nothing new for Sens fans. Even Montreal fans will tell you that.

I've never subscribed to the idea of taking away key performances like 3 and 4 goal games to make a point. Those standout nights from AK in fact prove the point I was making.

That hit on Peca was beautiful.

I'd probably have Kovalev behind White, Tugnutt, Cunneyworth, and Corvo if we're talking about an overall signing. Kovalev brought the big name but apart from the middle of the 09-10 season he was disappointing. White was the 1C on a Cup-contending team (albeit one where the wings and the D were the strength), Tugnutt's 98-99 season was excellent, Cunneyworth was a Captain, and Corvo was really good in his season and a half here.
