Post-Game Talk: Ottawa VS Columbus

[Benjamin]

yeah no more kitties. Benny needs to take them all home

Sounds good to me.

 

[Tundraman]

BM blew it big time giving Greening such a huge contract. He's un-tradeable unless he's packaged as a giveaway to a team like the Oilers. He's never done anything to deserve more than $1.5M to <$2M even in his better days. This year he's playing like a sub $700K 4th line call up which would be fine if he was but he should never have come close to getting the contract he got.

Leadership group is pathetic.

I am starting to think this is the issue outside of how bad the bottom 4 d are on this team.

They play like no one is accountable.

 

[Benjamin]

Cowen + Gryba =

 

[Super Cake]

Maybe murray should just trade the entire team away.

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

Next game is when?

Tuesday @ Philadelphia Flyers
Wednesday Minnesota Wild @ Ottawa Senators.

 

[Senscore]

Leadership group is pathetic.

Closed door meeting . . . . . at the Big Rig Brewery and Pub.

 

[Tundraman]

OT
CFL
Ham 30 Tor 24 with 53 seconds left and Ham has the ball for a 1st down.

Hamilton WINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

West Coast road...hey wait....Afternoon Games, thats it, thankfully we are done with thos...oh wait.

 

[Benjamin]

No puck support by the forwards.
No pucking moving ability outside of Karlsson + Methot.
Terrible PK.
Terrible PP.

Cant win with those problems.

 

[NyQuil]

No way we get that 5 on 3 if the score wasn't what it was.

It's the usual refs throwing guys in the box late and reffing the score.

Sens didn't really deserve a goal in this one.

 

[Quo]

8-0 Frontenacs over the 67's. Good day for Ottawa hockey.

 

[Benjamin]

Sens are 1-3-1 in afternoon games.

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

Sens are 1-3-1 in afternoon games.

Advertising dollars > team winning, creating a buzz and attracting more fans to the rink.

Not that I don't like Zibby, but Brodin would have made this sad sack team a whole lot better. Easy to fall back on hindsight though.

 

[YNWA14]

Let's continue to blame leadership because our defence is comprised of bad players. Seems logical. It doesn't help that our best defenceman is awful at playing in his own zone.

Games like these suck but I didn't see anyone blaming Alfie when we were getting blown out early in 2011/12.

Brodin was considered a reach at 10.

If we drafted him at 6 this board would have exploded with anger to the point of crashing HF.

and would now be championing him for the Norris.


EDIT: He was ranked right behind Zib in TSN's final rankings.

That quote is kinda scary.

 

[Senscore]

That quote is kinda scary.

He should probably do something then.

 

[Super Cake]

He should probably do something then.

What can he do though? We have garbage players on this team. Not much you can do with garbage players.

 

[Quo]

He should probably do something then.

How do you know he isn't?

Start Lehner - MacLean has to stop saying "Anderson is the legit number one on this team, blablabla". Not blaming Andy on this loss, but change of goalie in between the pipes seems to do this team good as they're likely more comfortable with Lehner in there. He brings more energy on the ice too.

Bench Cowen - Outside his rare goal here and there and a few good hits, he's a vegetable out there... A game or two from the press box might do him some good.

Trade - We have a history of stepping up our game after we make a move. Need a veteran presence at the blue line, more consistent top 6. Michalek and Conacher just aren't cutting it right now.

Spezza - Oh my dear captain. You've always been a whipping boy for our team and you'll continue to be until you smarten your game up. Those blind passes to Casper have to stop, you're not in your early 20's anymore.

MacLean - Keep coaching the team hard. Be brutal on this team, you'll eventually crack them with your hard practices. Heart to heart talk with the team is needed right now.

Greening - Dude needs to go. He lacks offense right now that could likely be found in Bingo. I would love to trade him and his newly signed contract. Sure his line has been the best in the last couple of games, but it's not really thanks to him.

Corvo - Just play him already and keep him in the lineup. He can't possibly hurt this blue line more than it already is.

I don't disagree with any of this.
