Anderson starts. Corvo out and Gryba in. Zibanejad is day to day. #sens

MacLean doesn't anticipate calling up a forward. Maybe for Monday vs. Pens. #Sens

[SENSational Sens Fan]

Hopefully Turris will have a big game against his former team; this time at home.

 

[Tuna99]

This is what is going to happen in this game and every game until #82 - inconsistent Ottawa with flasjes of elite talent to razzle dazzale from time to time, but you'll see inefficient hockey with no leadership.

Call me when the draft Lottery is decided. If it's Anaheim at #1 - (tell Alfie has was right....he's always right)

Hoping the D will look like this:

Cowen -Karlsson
Methot - Ceci
Phillips - Gryba

Its time to keep Phillips away from the top 4. I think Methot will be a much better sidekick for Ceci.

 

[YNWA14]

Go Sens!

Ignore the naysayers, real fans are behind ya.

Also really like the D-pairings above.

Knowing Mac, he wont use these pairings.

Miffed that it is another afternoon game. I was gonna buy tickets just now but I'm busy tomorrow until 6. Urgh.

Hoping so too. You'd think Phillips would work well with a PMD, but traditionally he's been at his best when paired with another stay at home D.

Corvo absolutely deserved to sit after last night's game. I don't like to call hockey players "lazy", but he's been epitomizing laziness the past couple of games. I might have replaced him with Wiercioch instead, but Gryba will do.

 

[ChocolateLeclaire]

Anderson played quit well against Florida. He deserved a better outcome.

I like that Corvo is out. He floated out there especially on the first goal. Gryba gets too much hate around here but he's a solid 6/7 d-man. Too bad our team is full of them.

I'm not ready to give up on the year yet. Too many teams are mediocre in the East. Until we're 10 points out, I'm not waving the white flag. We still have a huge chance if Lehner and Anderson return to form.

 

[King Karlsson]

Go Sens

 

[NiceGuyDrP]

Yah, give Anderson the bulk of the easy starts to get more market value and then trade him for a top-6ish winger and let the Lehner take over. Pretty sure this is the only way the Sens have a shot at getting any return for a player this year and having a shot at a playoff run, no? Who could the Sens potentially have to back-up the beast once (if) he gets released from his cage?

 

[Six Assets]

an afternoon game + western conference team=

Ya, we had our chance to pick up points against less-than-elite competition and we blew it. Now it's definitely an uphill battle to close out the month. See what we're really made of I guess? We tend to randomly excel against elite competition.

 

[83DIZ65]

bet a tiket they play better over the next 5 then they did over the last 5.

 

[Golden]

Well this team does like to play down (or up) to the opponent. It's quite possible that we make a game out of this. It would be nice if we could string together a couple of wins.

 

[StefanW]

The Sens seem to show up about every second game or so lately, so I'm taking the Sens to play well, win, and give false hope to a fan base that is desperately looking for anything to hang onto.
