Recalled/Assigned: Mark Borowiecki called up

[SENSational Sens Fan]

@SunGarrioch: Karlsson and Cowen with MacArthur-Turris-Ryan. #Sens

Maybe Boro is here to replace someone else other than Cowen, probably Wiercioch or Gryba.

 

[shootingrubber]

****ing Karlsson with Cowen now? Christ. Keep him with Methot. What the **** is the logic in changing that pairing? I really just don't understand.

 

[YNWA14]

Jesus...Cowen has probably been our worst overall player this year yet they just don't do anything about it.

 

[Benjamin]

Just when the Sens discipline was getting better.

 

[OmniSens]

Mark Borowiecki is our savior. Clearly he's gonna flip everything around

Seriously, anything at this point to win games.

 

[Answer]

They didn't sign Cowen to a shiny new contact for him to sit in the press box.

Murray should have traded for a d-men instead of calling somebody up that looked terrible at the nhl level.

How did he look terrible? His stats were all favourable compared to his typical linemates (Gonchar and Phillips), he's extremely physical and he's not afraid to take a hit to make a play. He won't be soft on the puck like a lot of our D has been this year.

Borocop is the type of player we need right now and good for him to get called up. Hoffman should be next to replace Greening.

 

[pepty]

He seems an odd choice as he has problems with discipline not to mention puck handling.

Maybe he is being showcased as he has a one way next year and there is rumoured to be a deal in the works between Ottawa and Florida for players that are not yet in the NHL.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Not sure why Karlsson would play PK. DEFENSIVELY he is subpar.

Actually, he has been very effective on the PK. He gets the puck out better than any of our players.

 

[Qward]

I watch at least three times a game as Phillips/Cowen/Gryba try to clear the puck and fail.

Karlsson has the eyes and skill to ice the puck or carry it out better than any of our other d.

 

[YNWA14]

Part of the problem is that we need our D to play within their means, too. Sorry, but Phillips, Cowen, Wiercioch and Gryba just aren't good at carrying the puck. They should be looking for quick passes out or chipping it off the boards. It feels like every time they try to settle the puck or carry it they lose it. They're also so ****ing hesitant in their own zone.

 

[Sensinitis]

We now have 8 defensemen... Trade incoming?

Yotes have had 8 dmen for the last 3 years. Who knows.

 

[Hammertyme]

Actually, he has been very effective on the PK. He gets the puck out better than any of our players.

But so incredibly weak if there is any physical play.

We need a shot blocking machine. Maybe Boro can be that. We are missing that since Volchenkov left.

Boro didn't stay in Ottawa last year, nor did he make the team this year, there is a reason for that even if you fail to see it.

Boro is a penalty machine, if the Sens take too many penalties now Boro will push them over the top!!!

Didn't have Volchy last year yet team defence was excellent.

This year the forwards either have forgottenhow to play defense or they just dn't bother.

According to Ottawa Senators ‏@Senators 3m
#Sens updates today from coach MacLean: @CraigAnderson41 will start in goal tomorrow; Borowiecki will play and Condra (leg) will not play.

According to Bruce Garrioch ‏@SunGarrioch 5m
Coach said he will consider 7 defencemen.

 

[DrunkUncleDenis]

Methot - Karlsson
Wiercioch - Gryba
Borowiecki - Corvo

Play Karlsson 30-32 min.


PK
Methot - Karlsson
Borowiecki - Gryba


PP
Zibanejad - Karlsson
Corvo - Wiercioch

Just the thought that Gryba is a legit option for the second pairing shows how horrendous our D is. No one is even injured.

 

[Sensinitis]

Yotes have had 8 dmen for the last 3 years. Who knows.

I don't think I've ever seen the Sens carry 8 dmen. At least not recently.

 

[YNWA14]

Not that it means much, but Gryba has been better than the rest of our D not named Methot or Karlsson.

 

[Sensinitis]

Corvo has been good too in his limited time.

 

[John Holmes*]

Not that it means much, but Gryba has been better than the rest of our D not named Methot or Karlsson.

I'd add Phillips and Corvo and Wiercioch to that list.

Gryba has been pretty bad. Not as bad as Cowen though, I'll give you that.

 

[Sensinitis]

Phillips has been terrible, I don't know what games you've been watching.
