This team isn’t beating anyone in the first round.
It wouldn't break my heart if we missed playoffs it would lift us over a bunch of teams into a top 4 first rd pick. With the young group we currently have that would give us one more key piece. A top 4 pick with the players we are losing is almost assured tons of icetime to develop.This team isn’t beating anyone in the first round.
Although i tend to agree I would of liked that option more had we got rid of a few 19 year olds at the deadline.It wouldn't break my heart if we missed playoffs it would lift us over a bunch of teams into a top 4 first rd pick.

Big 4 pt weekend vs Erie. I hope the boys get over the flu and get back to playing like they were just over a week ago. They have to make sure they play 20 min. periods and not let up in the last 5 min. of each as that's when they seem to get in trouble.
On another note, see Trent Bourque has been traded by Belleville Senators to Toronto Marlies.
5 goals against on 14 shots... fml. All you Guzda lovers are clueless
Guzda had a bad night. Should have pulled him by the 3rd goal. I have never seen him so down on himself after being pulled. He didn't look good on the bench and I felt bad for him. As rough as those goals were the boys in front of him struggled as well. Consistancy is a big issue this year. On the bright side Chenard looked great and has looked good all year to me. Hopefully our boys can get a better start today and keep on pushing for the full 60 minutes. I would like to see Letang get more involved on the bench. He reminded me of our last coach last night. Mostly just stood there.
Agreed on all counts. Certainly by the 4th or 5th goal I thought Chenard should have come in. When that didn't happen, I thought we may have seen Chenard out there to start the 3rd. Just wasn't Guz's night, sometimes that happens, and I think that was clear enough early on to make a switch earlier. I'm wondering if Letang had decided to start Guz on Saturday, Chenard on Sunday, and didn't want to make the move to Chenard to keep him fresh for Sunday. Who knows. For sure, the guys struggled in front of Guz as well, which didn't help...2 SH goals against is not good. And I concur about the Gill comparison, would like to see more engagement behind the bench from Letang, especially in those types of games. I noticed Hishon wasn't out there, maybe he's off scouting somewhere.Guzda had a bad night. Should have pulled him by the 3rd goal. I have never seen him so down on himself after being pulled.

Mr. Letang you need to start winning some games! Your most productive line is the Pearson Popov Kirwin line. So why not play these boys more! They should be considered your new PP line. I don’t think Mr Gill would sit Suzuki . Look at the numbers. just an observation from an old guy in the stands.Guzda had a bad night. Should have pulled him by the 3rd goal.

Guz had an off-night last night for sure. Every starter has one from time to time. The good news is that we see this kind of game from him far, far less often than we have in the past. So far this season, in general, he has played very well and has kept the team in games when otherwise they should not have been (especially earlier on in the season when defensive lapses and turnovers were happening more). Also, his off-night last night was exacerbated by generally poor defensive play in front of him and the fact that the coach left him in there too long.5 goals against on 14 shots... fml.

You called that one. He was very, very good. Excellent bounceback game, for the whole team.That was not all on #1.....the team let him down bigtime....I think he should start today!!
