Pre-Game Talk: SENS Phaneuf eats Chicken WINGS edition- Wed 7:00pm on SportsNet

[TheNewEra]

Why do we have Ceci as a sure bet 2nd pairing D?

Why not
Methot - Karlsson
Phaneuf - Wideman
Borowiecki/Weircioch - Ceci

or does Phaneuf have a great breakout that was originally missing on that 2nd pairing of Weircioch - Ceci?

based off all reports they got phaneuf to play with ceci, so im guessing the game plan is to try it first and see how it goes

really hope it works well just to see what we have in ceci, is he just inconsistent or is it because his partners suck

Cause Ceci is our 3rd best defender. Easily.

Ceci has been very good lately. I feel like he's taken the next step in his development. The coach has been playing him a lot too and it looks like it's working as of late. I'm excited to see what he can do with a real top 4 D as his partner.

I assume that Dion is our new scape goat, when things go sour.

Yeah, this makes sense.

If he's not immediately great, he'll absorb some of the heat from some Sens fans that was usually reserved for Cowen.

Even if that's the main result of his coming here, it'll be a good trade. It's a dirty job, but better him than Karlsson, Stone, etc. who have been being pulled into that circle of hell.

"He's the hero Ottawa deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector (of Karlsson and Stone). A dark knight."

When the fanfic writes itself...

I think he needs to win the fans over via taking on a fight or delivering at smashing hit, proving that he's here and will go to war for us whole-heartedly.

Meh.

He's wearing a Sens jersey now, so it's up to us to support him like any other Sen. I expect it'll take a few games for him to get a handle of whatever our system is supposed to be in the defensive zone.

 

[NyQuil]

Detroit is a speedy team so Dion will have his work cut out for him.

We have a system?

Not anymoreeeee

Wearing No. 2, he can teach Ceci the Double Dion. Ceci can show him C2C.

 

[Engineer]

Is he confirmed in the roster tonight?

Did the team practice today?

He's playing tonight. Alongside Ceci.

Allegedly.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Pretty excited for this one, adds some intrigue to a February game for sure.

Wiercioch appears to be the scratch.

Like that wasnt obvious

 

[ToastrStutzle]

Man it just looks so weird seeing him in a sens practice uni, it'll be even weirder when he steps on the ice tonight for the game.

I was just about to say the same thing.
