I give them a participation award.

It baffles me why the the Sens PP doesn't use one-timers. Like, hardly ever. It's the simplest PP strategy there is - one pass, two pass, bammo.

I don't get this either. We have open nets but we hold on to the puck and wait for everyone to settle, then we shoot.

im actually so happy this team isn't just lightly suckign where they finish a couple of spots out of a playoff spot, a season like this can finally start the rebuild on a elite draft.

We can't even rebuild properly at the moment because either this year's pick or next is going to Colorado.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Okay. No. He will probably never be this. I fought against this kind of hype when he was here. The trade wasn't great tho

I used to think like you, but he's 24 and this year was the most productive player on the Rangers until he went down recently. He's not far off from a 70-pts player right now. We got another streaky player to replace him that right now looks like he can barely play in the NHL.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

I would love to be a fly on the wall for the upcoming Dorion Melnyk conversations.

We can get picks back by moving out players

 

[RAFI BOMB]

Obligatory


This team needs a shakeup.

 

[Fandlauer]

We can't even rebuild properly at the moment because either this year's pick or next is going to Colorado.

As long as we get the first this year that's all we need. Boucher will be fired shortly, then next year we will be fantastic anyway. It's the year after next that we suck and fire the coach again.

 

[Arkantoss]

i'm not expecting a win tomorrow but if we can't get at least a point out of san jose and a win out of buffalo there is no hope left for this season.

 

[ToastrStutzle]

With this teams luck we'll end up with pick number 11 in the draft and we won't get to keep it

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Yeah but if finish in the bottom ten this year, and have our pick to Colorado moved to 2019, and we suck that year as well, the Avs won't exactly be willing to give us our pick back.

Doesn't have to be the Avs that gives us picks

 

[Wallet Inspector]

I actually want that to happen. Imagine the disaster if our pick wins the 2019 lottery while belonging to the Avs.

 

[Wallet Inspector]

You're missing the point amigo: If this team ever does a rebuild, it will involve us needing to draft high, which won't happen if we are missing next year's pick.

TSN1200 post game show: AJ says he heard a tip in the fall from someone in Vancouver that knows Kyle Turris' dad who said that Turris didn't like Boucher and he'd be moving on.

He said to take it with a grain of salt but that's what he was told.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

I would love to be a fly on the wall for the upcoming Dorion Melnyk conversations.

I wannna be the fly on the wall when Dorion tells boucher he found a player available that boucher coached in 2000 on the RN Huskies. Some happiness around this team wouldn't hurt

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Damn it AJ, stop repeating that BS about Turris wanting out. He was happy in Ottawa. Dorion just never wanted to re-sign him if he could get Duchene. So annoyed that they keep rehashing that unfounded crap.

 

[Shruggs Peterson]

TSN1200 post game show: AJ says he heard a tip in the fall from someone in Vancouver that knows Kyle Turris' dad who said that Turris didn't like Boucher and he'd be moving on.

So he was firm on a 7-8 year deal in the hopes that he'd outlast the coach?

I like AJ but he is not a reliable source of information

 

[Burrowsaurus]

He does not have the drive to be that consistent of a point getter.

Boucher probably gave him so much shit for not being a left handed top six center.

 

[freddy61]

Ya good point that makes AJ's tip fall apart pretty quickly. Might be something Dorion was pushing to keep the fans off his back.

 

[Shruggs Peterson]

Ok ... so let's just say for argument sake we can trade Duchene and get 2 1st round picks... one in 2018 and one in 2019 ... we have just recouped a 2019 pick... We could maybe trade Ceci for a 1st in 2019 .. we get a 2019 pick back.

That's IF we don't repeat this year's performance and our pick isn't top 5.
