He brings nothing and by nothing I mean NOTHING

We should pay someone off to punch Greening in the mouth within the first 5 minutes of the game. People don't like Greening when he's angry.

Seriously, the guy has it in him to go beast mode. We just almost never see it.

 

[Back in Black]

GO SENS GO!

 

[King Karlsson]

Battle of the bad Fenwicks! Who can allow more shots?! TUNE IN TOMORROW TO FIND OUT!

 

[bornNraised Sens]

if Greening is getting shown off to be traded, id like the forward lines to look like this later..

mac-turris-stone
ryan-zib-chia
michalek-legwand-lazar
hoffman-smith-condra/neil

The third line i thought they have looked when paired together and they all play a similiar ish 200 foot kind of game.
the fourth line i think will be good if given limited minutes (10-12). Neil is playing better compared to last year and i think Condra showed some improvement as well.

Lots of options can be made as adjustments though for the bottom 6.

Greening scores a hattrick. Book it.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

How many goals could Crosby get greening in a season. Spezza got him 17. I'm saying 25. We need to sell this point if view to the pens.

 

[Flamingo]

If greening plays well this season, why wouldn't we keep him?

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Greening might not be a bad option to replace Kunitz. Kunitz should start declining soon-ish no? He's 34 I believe

Not a chance in a million

Do you see him get the puck from our D past our blue line only to loose it to the opposite D at the other blue line by a mild soft pokestick from the D

He does it almost every shift


Junior grass hockey IQ at best


Hes useless


And we have so many young exciting guys that could play instead

 

[DylanSensFan]

I must say, it warms my heart to see fellow Sens fans starting to question the intelligence of Maclean...or lack there of.

After taking a thorough bashing for questioning it before, I'm starting to feel vindicated. Yay!

I am not questioning his intelligence or choices. He has coached at the NHL level and has been on a SC winning Detroit team. MacLean has basically gotten something out of nothing since he arrived in Ottawa, sans last season. When he had a captain that would not listen to him and play a system that had the team winning the two seasons before.

I still think you and the others need to give it a rest. We are three games into the season and you guys are acting worse then Montreal or Toronto fans.

What I took from this post:

mild soft pokestick, junior grass, young exciting guys play

What the....?

I tried that with Milo last game.

Didn't work out.

While the poster exaggerated greatly, the points he makes are reasonable, but are essentially the same old things everyone complains about regarding Greening's game.
1)he loses the puck easily on stick checks from the opposition when on the rush (plus the old "plays die on his stick" thing).
2)he doesn't have a superb hockey IQ
3) he is hindering one of our more dynamic prospects (say Hoffman for the sake of it) from being in the line-up.

Greening is far from useless, and I think the poster is really selling him short on the whole "thinks like a junior player" thing. But Greening does need to step it up and go into Hulk mode if he wants to stick around.

lol @ junior grass.

I don't understand this. Is he plays well and live sup to his contract then yeah I think we will keep him.

People need to stop think that just because he's big it means he has this like super saiyen level. It doesn't exist. It probably never will. He's a soft player. He is what he is. He got mad that random one time where he was bearing his teeth during a fight. He's never been an all out player hitting people and causing a stir. He's soft.

He's not soft, and the hit totals back that claim up. What he is, is 'nice'. It's hard to run around looking to crush people and engage people in rough stuff when you're actually a nice man.

Doesn't make him soft, which is, when used in hockey, an insult related to the family of 'weak' and 'cowardly'.

Still, shame though...

People panicking about which 3rd and 4th liners draw into a practice lineup: ahh, hockey's back.

When you have to scrape and claw for every last point, every spot in the lineup matters.

Hope to see Lazar in action tomorrow night.

The lighting is scary bright, or at least that is what I thought at Fan Fest. Any time they turned it on, you could hear an audible "WOAH!" from people in the area I was sitting.

Lazar will be in and score on a slap shot from the right face off dot... on a broken 2 on 1.

You know im exagerating and doing it on the funny side but you get the point

Useless in terms of hindering younger player progression like you said

I disagree. Racking up soft hits doesn't mean you are not soft. He's a soft player. He's soft on the puck. He's soft on the hits. Soft everywhere

In the game day lineup maybe.

 

[pepty]

It would be great to get a win in our home opener and a relief if no one boos any of our players including the whipping boys of the day who seem to be Greenng and Cowen
.
Lets hope DoniB doesn't come up with any suggestions of who his mouth breathing fans in the audience should boo during the introductions.
