Part of the problem is that people don't respect the fact that you can go into a game trying to give it your all, but if the game doesn't get your adrenaline going it's impossible.
Run the100 m as fast as you can and then run it being chased by a dog with rabies.
A real NHL game is a dog with rabies. An NHL game is being chased by a lion.
Neil is the definition of a scrub. Don't mind him as a 13th forward because of his history with the Sens, but c'mon why is he on the PP instead of Stone/Lazar...
Please, no criticism. It's preseason. We can't make any negative observations without someone complaining about it.

I for one am grateful that Chris Neil will lead us to the top 5 in the 2015 draft.
Two really positive signs for Ottawa tonight were the play of Cowen and Ceci. If these guys are gonna bring what they brought tonight plus a perhaps reignited Phillips, we're gonna be okay.
Ehlers and Petan liked real good for the Jets. I'd be pumped for those guys if I were a fan of that team.
Very true. Nothing is quite the same as the real thing.
It's still hard to sit back though, especially when so many have Zibby as one of the top picks on the team to be on the rise or future impact core guy. It's hard not to be desperate for validation on the ice.
Overall a decent game. Some of the Bingo kids are starting to look more comfortable.
Most consistent player on the ice was Pageau. He does the little things to get noticed. Hits, kills penalties, plays well in his own end and if you gave him some decent wingers he would put up points too. He reminds me of Briere.
Disappointments this game:
Mike Hoffman - I think his time with the Ottawa Senators is coming to an end sooner than later
Wiercioch - I keep trying to give this guy a chance but he doesn't have the hockey IQ for the NHL. That gastly turnover that resulted in the Jets second goal is a perfect example. Isn't it hockey 101 for defensemen not to skate in front of your net with the puck?
Zibenajad - This is suppose to be our 2nd line centre. He had flashes of good play but then disappears for long stretches.
