Philips shouldn't even be in the NHL. That guy has been in the league for 60 years and still hasn't learned how to make a proper first pass, and how to handle the puck like a grenade on the stick.

A year or two prior the Cup run there was a nonsensical "Trade Alfie" campaign spearheaded by the dummies over at the Ottawa Sun.
This thread is coming right after a horrible performance from Bishop.
These threads are complete ****. It only hurts the team. Opposite of support. So gtfo
Am I seriously the only one to vote gonchar?
maybe you guys should rewatch the 5 goals tonight, and the two before that as well.
....its 4 f'ing games in and we've lost ONCE...why is this poll even here?
This thread is just another attempt to put the light on the fickleness and ridiculousness of this board when things aren't perfectly going the way they wanted. Like a kid who didn't get his gift at christmas. People are a bit immature and have to learn to keep their cool. Temper expectations to realistic grounds would help too.
True support for the team would be to not play the "blame game" and accept that they are not perfect and avoid scapegoating at all costs. All it does is to create confidence issues and doubts in their abilities (but they are thought to avoid message boards at all costs). Positive reinforcement and encouragement would go a long way into supporting the team.
The thing is that most of the time, people are so wrong in their whining/complaining/scapegoating... and I have been proved of this so many times in the past... Just a few examples : Kelly signing, Alfie for Conroy anyone?, trade Spezza!, Neil signing : overpaid!, Turris trade, Anderson trade, even Phillips last year who had a slow start but was really solid as the season was going. I could go on for hours.
I'm just wondering if people are simply jealous of NHL players... It would be a good idea for a thesis in psychology

Oh this was a serious thread?
It's just good clean fun, no one is calling for the Senators to win the East or make a run for the Cup. Plus I haven't seen anyone with in this thread; are clients not allowed to comment on the product they've purchased?
Sorry but...how is a Senators fan posting a tongue-in-cheek whipping boy thread creating confidence issues? If Phillips gets down on himself after close to 20 years in the league because someone didn't like his play...he shouldn't be in the NHL.
You shouldn't always praise either. When a mistake is made, when a player plays poorly it should be pointed out then corrected.
Neil was overpaid...most enforcers weren't making his type of coin at the time. We had to trade Kelly, the Senators were godawful in early 2007 so trade talk was justified and it lit a fire under Alfie...Phillips has been mediocre, Anderson could well be traded before his term is over. As for Spezza, word is he himself asked for a trade after being booed vs. Pittsburgh in the day so...
The point is, fans aren't obligated to swallow everything the team gives to them and they aren't obligated to think everyone is the best ever just because they were the centurion logo. It's ok to take a player to task, they can handle it, really!
I get called out for saying Anderson could play more than three games in a row. Well I guess Maclean thinks he should too since he has played the last 7 in a row. Just saying... but yeah probably should put Bishop in sometime soon.
