GDT: Ottawa @ Buffalo | 7:00 p.m. | Sportsnet, TVA | CONY 2013

[Ahnotamoose]

To those who are cheering for #6, you'll be cheering to move up to that position if the team continues to play like this on the road. Not even close to enough of a cushion to blow this and go 2-5, 1-6...

 

[Gil Gunderson]

MacLean never uses his timeout when he should.

 

[King Karlsson]

Horrible, horrible effort the past 3 games.

Does MacLean know what a time-out is? Seriously, I know he's a great coach but every time they score a quick one, he refuses to use it even though it would help tremendously.

 

[Sensinitis]

Lehner pulled. A 6th skater for free

 

[Punchbowl]

Has the reffing even been that bad? I've only seen the second and third, and apart from that Conacher high-sticking non-call they seem to have been catching pretty much everything.

 

[Vaclav Varada]

Of course, Ottawa's the only team to acquire a player that didn't have an immidiate impact..the luck of this team

Even without a point, Badger was hugely instrumental in both goals. I'd say that impact is immediate. Points aint everything.

 

[DuckedUpOnQuack]

Team has looked quite slow in the past few weeks. The forecheck, as others have mentioned, as also failed to produce pressure and turnovers at the rate that it used to.

 

[pepty]

They really don't deserve to win this game.

Lehner could have played better, but what with all the hate.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

I know the Lehner fanboys will be out in full effect when he is critizcied but this is how hes been playing lately. Giving up weak goals and playing really lacklustre. He played very mediocre in Boston and even in Tampa didnt demonstrate any form of praise that ppl have been giving him.

Will he be good? Maybe but none of his crazy fanboys can defend his game tonight.

This fanbase . Honestly were not even supposed to be complaining and we lose one game were supposed to win and all of a sudden it's all "Lehner sucks!" and "Shouldn't of traded Bishop!".

 

[OUTHOUSE]

To be fair to Lehner, we need some forwards to score some goals. When Methot and Gryba are providing our offense we aren't going to win often.

 

[internetdotcom]

How many pp's did we have before the Sabres made in 3-2?

Sens had enough chances and did zip.

How many should we have had if the refs called the game by the book, instead of letting dozens of high sticks by Ott and the Sabres go? If you call it fair from the start, that **** stops happening.

 

[ChocolateLeclaire]

I had a bad feeling all game with how lazy they were playing.

 

[mat_sens]

No. He did not play great in Boston.

lol! He sucked tonight. But he was great in Boston, unless you're disagreeing with both Murray and Mac who said he had a great game..

 

[Caje]

Did you see the Methot call then?

Well Bishop wasn't too great against Toronto the other night either. The team is not protecting the goalie very well. Time for Anderson to start games.

I don't understand people that only look at numbers and don't actually watch the game.

Sometimes it's not about the PP's themselves but how teams can play when they know they aren't being called for doing a specific illegal thing in games.

 

[Nordic*]

Why EN, will only give us even worse confidence..

 

[OgieO]

Rangers tied it...

 

[L'Aveuglette]

No. He did not play great in Boston.

You clearly have a bias against Lehner if you don't think he was stellar in Boston.

 

[SammyTheBull]

Turris has been garbage

 

[King Karlsson]

I'm seriously scared for our playoff hopes if we can't win a game on the road

 

[Benjamin]

I guess the sens didn't play their defensive system this game.

 

[Sensgirl65]

I think we should pass more. Yeah, that would definitely help.

 

[Emery]

terrible game.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

I'm seriously scared for our playoff hopes if we can't win a game on the road

We'll beat Florida, I guarantee it.
