I'm starting to think that this whole Alfredsson fiasco hit Karlsson pretty hard and he was/is pretty bitter about it. This might explain his nonchalant almost disinterested play so far.

I still think that this is why Alfredsson left.
I was impressed by his comments, and Spezza's as well. Didn't think much of what idiot Chris Neil had to say.
I'm playing the insane, obsessive fan here, but damn if the idea of the Alfie fiasco negatively affecting our franchise defenseman's attitude towards the organization doesn't terrify me.
Karlsson says he's going to have dinner with Alfie at his new house.
what did Chris Neil say?
He had the opportunity to show a little respect when asked about playing Alfredsson, but basically shrugged off the situation as nothing, as if Alfredsson is just any other player. Not impressive coming from a guy who has been his teammate for 10+ years.
Assistant captain Chris Neil figures the sooner the better.
“We’ve got to play him some time, we might as well get it over with,†Neil said.
[...]
“It’s not like he’s not our friend,†Neil says of Alfredsson. “He’s just on another team.â€
i'm more or less over the initial shock of alfie leaving and going to detroit, but every once in a while reading about him and the red wings i get a little sick to my stomach. (detroit writers referring to him as alfie)
We will win, I think this is game 1 of Jason Spezza's legacy as the Sens captain. 4-2 win, Spezza with a goal and 2 assists, Karlsson also with two assists.
Alfie gets an assist but looks fairly average.
Also, why couldn't the NHL schedule makers have made the first Red Wings - Sens game in Ottawa? Argh. I have tickets for the December 1st game but it would have been 10x more crazy if the game was sooner and the first meeting was in Ottawa.
I thought it was the "alfie should blow his nose before I hit him so I dont get snot on my jersey" comment that people would be upset over.
Nothing. I think some stuff was left out or misread earlier in the thread. Neil's pretty clear they're still friends, but on the ice they see him as any other player.
