Anyone wanna talk possitive any more? lol.

God damnit... the maelstrom of sewage that these boards have become is even permeating into the "Stay Positive" thread?


That's it. I can't spend the rest of the season on these boards, it's a goddamned circus.


I'll see you guys on April 13th. Hopefully it won't be our last game of the year.

...wow I didn't actually mean to come off in a negative light there just trying to get convo in a more positive thread rolling again. sorry guys. I'm excited about DaBOSTA's play lately gotta say. And Andy was beast last night great to see him bounce back so well...especially against pitts.
Also I'm always happy when we steal a point. Thanks again Andy.

It's too late, you ruined your own thread.

There's a lot to like about this team. I love the strides made by Turris. He's a #1 centre in my opinion, his 200 foot play more than makes up for any lack of offence.

MacArthur has been probably the best free agent this team has ever signed. Shudder to think where we'd be without him.

Zibanejad is right on track. He's good now and will only get better, although progress isn't always a straight line and I hope people can remember that when he has an off game.

Ceci has been a wonderful surprise. I don't think anyone expected him to be so polished and poised already.

This will be more controversial, but I think Gryba has been really good, and is still improving. Between him, Methot, Cowen, and Borowiecki, I am starting to come around to the idea of trading Phillips, even though I'd much rather see him retire a Senator.

I could go on, but those are some of the bright spots to me. This team has a lot more good than bad.

What do you mean exactly?

A lot of the young kids are showing great signs. Especially Ceci. Da Costa has definitely earned a chance to get another contract, either with Ottawa or another NHL team. Cowen is getting better...not all there yet, but considering where he was in October, it's been a nice improvement.

The defense as a whole has been better at clearing rebounds and helping out the netminders.

 

[saskriders]

How can people be upset now. We have been good for over a month and even with a mini "cold streak" we are close to a playoff spot

Anderson had his best game since last year's playoffs.

He was excellent positionally and was so calm against the dynamic Penguins.

I don't think there has ever been a game this year where I didn't cringe at a positional mistake by Anderson which did or didn't cost us. Last night was different though, he was flawless.

Also, DaCosta finally seems to be proving his NHL worth. Could be a huge trading piece or could be a good producer for us. He was the best player last night.

Gryba and Methot have picked up their games huge. So has Cowen.

Karlsson is +1 in past 2 games where we've allowed 8 goals, lol.

Sens dominated the Pens last night. Went round-for-round to the final bell with the 2014 Stanley Cup Champions.

Is this Rob Ford? Get off the crack. We got dominated and Andy saved our ass.

 

[StefanW]

DaCosta's goal was highlight reel material.

Andy was insanely good.

We picked up a point against a very good team that has only one loss in its last 15 home games. Impressive.

We picked up a point in the standings and inched closer to the last wildcard spot.

Gryba was excellent. Cowen had a few very solid plays, and was very physical.
