Puck Daddy has us making the playoff wildcard spot.

Not much insight, and no mention of Brassard's expected effect on Ryan's production even though he keys on Ryan's goal total as something to watch.

And a couple of odd takes... we did not make a push for Boudreau, and Turris will be left exposed for the expansion draft? Also strange to say playoff exit will be due to shaky goaltending. C'mon...

Player Most Likely To Be In Vegas Next Season

Kyle Turris. Dorion has a lot of contracts he has to protect due to the no move clauses. Turris has been an up and down player. He could see himself on the way out because of it.

I would not have picked Turris. I wouldn't say we have a lot of NMC contracts either

Goaltending ... I guess it depends how the season goes. How much we've relied on Anderson and how hard he has had to work to get us in.

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

Isnt anderson the current active leader in playoff save percentage for goalies with a decent amount of games played?

 

[Max Power]

Anderson has been nothing but rock solid for the Sens in the post season. So that assessment has no base to it.

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

This article reeks of someone who knows very little about the team and didn't bother to do any research. Disappointed – Puck Daddy's quality is usually significantly better than this.

The Ottawa Scum as well as Boudreau's family making a push for Boudreau must mean the organization did as well!

Anderson has been nothing but rock solid for the Sens in the post season. So that assessment has no base to it.

He's only been in the first round, mostly. The one time he went to round two Pittsburgh pummeled him. He's solid, he'll definitely keep the Senators in games but questioning his ability to just keep piling on saves into the second, third and finals round is justified until he does it.

He's also getting older, so it's fair to see this as an issue. Goaltending isn't the team's biggest problem though.

 

[Super Cake]

I am just surprised they even had us making the playoffs.

 

[Back in Black]

I too, has us making the playoff wildcard spot.

The words of someone who has no idea what the **** they are talking about.

Seriously. In what conceivable reality does management leave Turris unprotected? The guy has been fantastic for us and gets better every year.

I guess a major injury qualifies as inconsistency these days?

 

[Hutz]

The words of someone who has no idea what the **** they are talking about.

Seriously... I like Puck Daddy, but that just doesn't make any sense. He'd have to have an awfully unlikely massive regression to even get himself near the list of unprotected players. Like, honestly, all it takes is 1 minute to list the Sens' contracts to see that... this is just stupid.

Edit: It seems this was written by Jen Neale rather than Greg Wyshyshsinisky himself.

 

[Lenny the Lynx]

When you think of clearing cap space, it definitely makes sense to start by going after the 1B/2A two-way centre who puts up 60pts/season for $3.5MM.

 

[SpezDispenser]

The words of someone who has no idea what the **** they are talking about.

Totally.

Pittsburgh pummeled him because they pummeled Ottawa. Our weak team defense matched up well against an undersized, underskilled Montreal team but once they got to Pittsburgh, they had no answer for Crosby and Malkin. That was such a slaughter that even Alfie knew they were done after Game 4. Lehner came in and he didn't fair much better as Pittsburgh was just better than Ottawa in every way.

Lol, extremely embarrassing for a hockey magazine which claims to be reputable.

 

[trentmccleary]

I assume that they didn't bother to look into Turris' season and just assumed that he was just another 'bad team scorer' whose minutes were being cut as the team got better.

Which is obviously an incredibly stupid take on his season.

 

[Cat Herder]

Anderson has been nothing but rock solid for the Sens in the post season. So that assessment has no base to it.

Really? I find Anderson lets in too many softies. I almost assume he is going to let in the tying goal everytime when we are in the lead late in a game

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Puck Daddy doesn't know ish about the Sens. Not gonna bother dissecting whatever crap they wrote.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Lol, me too. The thing about Anderson is he will let in a weak goal where he looks like he's asleep on a nothing play... then he will make saves which he shouldn't be making and the team normally rallies behind that. It was similar to Lehner too. When he does the latter more than the former idc but sometimes the former match the latter.

I've said this once and I'll say it again, Anderson is a stupendous underdog goalie... but whenever there are expectations(or he is the fav to win), he craps the bed. However, this year I feel it will be different and I support Andy 100%
