Deep Breath... nope, still mad!
We brought Ryan here to play on the first line.
Unless Spezza is getting demoted to 2nd line duty until he get's his war face on, then Ryan will probably be playing with Spezza to start the game.
That said, I think the guys need a good wake-up before game time. MacLean should get all the guys together and lead them for a job around Phoenix to make sure everyone is awake and ready come game time.
Our D has been asleep to start every game so far, and we can surrender the opening goal every night if we hope to compete for the division title this season.

Loser points are valuable but I count like you although I've heard a lot of pundits do it the other way.
Under the previous divisional / conference arrangement based on averages you needed to be just above .500 in wins and loses plus have another dozen or so loser points yet I kept hearing radio analysts tell callers and e-mailers that a team was fine because they were playing at or close to .500. They were using points when clearly the team had far more losses and wouldn't make the playoffs playing at that rate. That always bugged me coming from even those that are so called experts and even some ex-players.

What... are you serious, bro?
Spezza was on the ice for 4 shots for and 24 shots against in 2 games. Think about that for a second.
Spezza in the last 2 games was the worst I've seen Spezza in half a decade.

Another Loss. And when we lose the entire Sens community is going to panic like never before. 3-1.
Turris gets the goal & pisses off all Yotes fans.

Spezza should only play with Ryan on the PP.
They've been a disaster 5-on-5. Scary bad. No offense and no defense.
You may be right it's just too bad Conacher may lose a spot in the top six due to no fault of his own. The 3rd and 4th lines haven't been a factor at all. #freemika

Conacher may actually benefit playing alongside Pageau.
Greening-Spezza-Michalek
MacArthur-Turris-Ryan
Conacher-Pageau-Condra
Smith-DaCosta/Zibanejad-Neil
Could work.
Conacher has less points than every single top 6 forward. He has 1 goal in 5 games playing with Turris the #1C.
Sorry but I think it's his fault.
MacArthur - Turris - Ryan
Greening - Spezza - Michalek
Conacher - Zibanejad - Smith
Condra - O'Brien - Neil
Condra and Jimmy together + Ryan away from Spezza + Greening with Spezza + Smith away from Neil + Zibanejad in = win
Greening - Spezza - Michalek
Conacher - Zibanejad - Smith
Condra - O'Brien - Neil
Condra and Jimmy together + Ryan away from Spezza + Greening with Spezza + Smith away from Neil + Zibanejad in = win

Turris hatty tonight. 28-3 loss. Melynk can't afford new goalie pads so Maclean decides to go with 6 skaters after we let 76 shots through in the first period.
As usual your insight is enlightning.How many goal does MacA have ?
MacArthur has 2 points in 5 games, Conacher has 1 point in 5 games.
If anyone is kicked out of the top 6 it's Conacher

Too small of a line #freemika
Agreed, Pageau and Da Costa to Bingo for Zibby, then I think his top six lineup is workable, with Zibby as the third line center and Smith the 4th.
Afraid to agree with you simply because if I do it will be because I don't like Conacher, but I do agree!!!
Conacher has ''hustled'' more than Spezza and Michalek, but that doesn't mean he's better offensively than they are. Concaher is the least effective offensive player in the top 6 right now.
