I'll feel free to stay, thanks for the concern though.

Phillips is my friend and I eat at his restaurant and stuff, how dare u guys.
To be brutally honest, Phillips sucks.
Not a fan of his restaurant either. His beer actually is decent. The food is a different story though. (My opinion).

Never had the food, only the beer. Pretty decent brew.
On the topic of Sens-owned establishments, I thought Central Bierhaus to be entirely overrated. Better than O'Connors was for sure, but not worth the bill you end up with once your done. It's trying to be a premium destination, and as a premium destination, it falls short.

He's had a nice career but he's not a top 6 guy anymore. He used to be a rock defensively, now he's bad at the only thing he brings to a team. He's supposedly a leader but he's been sulking publicly ever since Spezza got the C. That could be bad influence in the dressing room and our future leader Lazar. The sooner we get rid of him, the better it will be for this team.
I know he gets a pass because he's been loyal to the team but I don't get why people line up to defend that guy.

Yeah he should know better, especially as someone who has been around for 1000+ games. Frustration probably took over here, he regrets saying it I bet.
Anyone who is outraged by this is likely either really young or just the greatest human being in the world.

Phillips has a good point, as an assistant captain and veteran on the team, its hard to give advice to the younger players and tell them to be patient when they are playing ahead of you in the lineup.

This is why being candid is not encouraged in sports.
No problem with what he said, but realistically it's probably better to just tow the line with a statement like, "I'm just working hard in practice to get a chance to get back out there, and when I do I'll be ready."
It's obviously affecting him as I expect it would, but he's gonna have to get used to it if he wants to play in the league longer. Neil might be facing this same situation if not this year, probably next year. It's sad to see as a long time Sens fan but it's just the reality of the situation and at least they've got 10's of millions to sit on for the rest of their lives.

Were not defending Phillips as a player here, just the taking out of context and exaggeration of his comments.
Would you rather we join in with our pitchforks just because he isn't a great player anymore? Might as well just start making false accusations willy nilly just to ruin his entire reputation!
Sigh.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
I can't believe that people would read that and suddenly turn him into the devil. Geez!!

This is why we can't have nice things......and are stuck with pro hockey players who are as bland as old dish water.
Heaven forbid someone talk honestly and say anything other than obviously, the guys are giving 100%, win one for the gipper, work hard, obviously, woof woof woof, system, team, blah blah blah.

I think it shows more of an overall problem with the organization than Phillips himself.
What did Spezza say to TSN after he was traded? Something about it being nice to be on a team that is "committed to winning"?

Well, the thread title at least reflects some degree of accuracy now.
Thanks to whoever changed it.

That's not what he said.
He said that it's conflicting getting excited about going back into the lineup, because if he's going in, it's one of the younger guys he's advising to be patient coming out and he knows full well that they want just as badly to be in the lineup as he does.
It has nothing to do with it being hard to give advice, or them being ahead of him in the lineup.

I'm surprised some of you haven't used this in your smear campaign against Phillips...

Good point he probably shouldn't be on the team or wear a letter then. Same goes for Neil, if the Dallas Stars can part ways with Mike Modano surely the sens can with Chris Phillips.
He played well last night, maybe he needs to be sat out for motivation? His whole career he has struggled with inconsistency at moving the puck crisply. Now he is too slow to make up for it.
There's some people offering insightful views (pro Phillips or anti Phillips) and there's people hating on the thread because of an exaggerated title.
Please try to stay on topic.

What Dallas did was a smear on the organization and one of the more embarrassing moments of any franchise, and you want us to follow that lead?!? What the heck is wrong with you?
It's so clear that the line between real pro sports, and video games is so blurred with some of you. THIS IS REAL LIFE WITH REAL PEOPLE. YOU WOULDN'T TREAT SOMEONE RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU THAT WAY, WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD EXPECT OTHERS TO? Even worse, why would people advocate for others to be treated poorly anyways. This is sports fandom, which is based on loyalty, and yet you and others show none. I suppose this is the generation of the disposable heroes, have fun with that kiddos...
Cold hearted anonymous posters, easy to cheer for adversity on the sidelines, lots more difficult to face it yourselves.
So many terrible posts in the is thread.
Dude, you screwed up, and now you're trying to play the righteous poster calling for calm?
Take your licks and learn your lesson....

Who can blame him? After all these years of faithful service and now being a healthy scratch. He was already fed up , and now this thread. Really its too much.
I for one support him in this act of desperation.
