Pre-Game Talk: Anaheim @ Ottawa Oct. 25 (7:30 p.m. Eastern, 4:30 p.m. Pacific)

I'd love to see Ryan lay a big hit on Getzlaf for those comments he made last game during the intermission

For anyone wondering, it was something like: Typical Bobby Ryan period. Invisible then scores a goal.

Who cares? he was obviously wrong Bobby Ryan has been one of our best forwards.

That sounds really harsh

I doubt it was that blunt

It's kind of a dick move to talk about a former teammate like that, unless the player is a Heatley or Turris

 

[Back in Black]

He has a nmc, so you do not have to worry about that. If he keeps playing like the way he is playing, the goals will come hopefully.

Now why the puck would Murray accept this contact from a player like that McCarthur.

I didn't see the exact quote but I bet dollars to doughnuts he meant to compliment Ryan/was making a joke and you misinterpreted it.

 

[pown]

I think the boys will keep momentum and redeem themselves for that embarrassing loss in Anaheim.

 

[RedWhiteBlackGold]

Yeah Getzlaf's comment wasn't meant to be a shot at Ryan, was more less saying he will strike when your not expecting it.

Sounds like a lot of guys in the NHL, I often say that about Spezza. I don't like Condra on our third line, then again, I don't like Condra on the team. I wouldn't mind seeing PM switch Conacher with Condra. Conacher had some chemistry with Zibanejad in preseason, maybe they can get some of that back along with Grant.

Greening - Spezza - Michalek - top line starting to score
MacArthur - Turris - Ryan - second line playing very well & contributing offensively
Conacher - Zibanejad - Grant - creates a potential third scoring line
Condra - Z. Smith - Neil/Kassian - hopefully Stone will replace Condra some day

Not fair why do we have to play this team again? Lets play some former South-East division teams.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Thanks. His productions wasn't too bad I suppose it was the defensive liability.

Not really. It's just that they are both slow defenders. Hence making it harder to get puck out faster. Wiercioch hasn't been bad defensively at all.

 

[Sensinitis]

Cowen isn't slow

 

[StefanW]

Is there any reason why Weircioch was a healthy scratch last night and any word on if he will be back in the lineup ?

He needs to be better at hockey to stick in the lineup. At this stage, and this is a truly frightening thought, Corvo is a better option.

MacLean does not tend to tinker with a winning lineup, so I would not expect to see Weircioch until, at bare minimum, the Sens start losing again.

 

[YNWA14]

Cowen isn't slow

Cowen has definite mobility issues when it comes to speedy skaters.

 

[Sensinitis]

Corvo hasn't been that bad .

 

[OttawaSenators11]

Got to take care of home ice.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Cowen isn't slow

Cowen can definitely get going but he struggles against speedy wingers with acceleration and it doesn't help when his partner shares same difficulty.

Weircioch hasn't been that bad he is a young player. MacLean eases young guys into the lineup and try's to put them in position to succeed. He'll be back soon and he is going to become an excellent player for us.

 

[pown]

Just got tickets in the 300 sec, they have always won everygame i have been to. Lets hope it keeps up. Should be easier vs a tired ducks squad!

I agree he will not be out long because the team has made a long term commitment. That being said he will be out equally as fast if he doesnt play better. There can not be a weak link on the d.

Actually, it wasn't that at all. But thanks for the lack of English comprehension lessons. He said that Ryan has the ability to disappear, or find those spots where nobody can find him. In other words, he is elusive.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Well, the guys saw against Detroit what they have to do to win. Work hard the full 60 minutes, keep your feet moving, stay hungry for the puck and stay focused.

A lot of the guys are young, but they're starting to get enough games under their belt where we should start expecting better consistency.

 

[Answer]

I wonder how long will this Conacher experiment will last?

 

[The EnigmatiC Soul*]

What is wrong with Conacher? He brings it consistently/

 

[BigZKingK]

Gryba has been our worst dmen IMO minus the fact he was the electric player of the game
