Not sure that is the case, even in the pre-game warm up he is struggling, its sad to watch.
Every shot on him is an adventure.
He will bounce back, he is a competitor.

Lets reward Z. Smith's bad penalty with a crucial faceoff at the end of the game. Smith took a selfish penalty and his butt should have been stapled to the bench for the rest of the game.

Haven't tried banished, im gunna look into it though. Stick of Truth was fun, but it was more like a long ass episode. The battle mechanics were limited, like a Paper Mario game. Fun as **** for south park loyalists like me though.
Im doing a fresh play through of Dark Souls after getting mad and putting it down a year ago not to touch it since. Having fun with that, most frusterating game ever . . . but when you beat a boss it's awesome. Such an old school feeling

Yep, he's got to learn to control those emotions, and use them as a positive instead of a negative.

His sv% and GAA really aren't that different from Anderson's right now.
He's had a real bad stretch but he had a fantastic start to the season that shouldn't be overlooked because he's in a funk. Start him in a bunch of preseason games next year, and if he still looks unplayable then send him down.
When the game is on the line, the offense doesn't produce nearly often enough.
The team as a whole makes too many mistakes and is too undisciplined to be consistent or even give themselves a fighting chance.
13 turnovers and 7 minor penalties, teams can't expect to win with these type of stats.

Tuuka Rask had that problem early on. He harnesses his anger now.
Lehner has been a hot head since his world junior days.

Rask is a great comparable. How many years was he a junior starter, how many years behind Thomas?

Had a great first season where he played over half the games, his numbers dipped a bit his second year as he settled into a backup role and played 2 more seasons before taking the reigns.
5 years pro before he made it to the NHL as a backup.
Patience is key with a goalie.
Doesn't makes sense to start anyone but Lehner or Anderson, just shows a complete lack of confidence in the guys.
This team isn't going anywhere but golfing in April, so play Lehner and let him work his way out of his funk.
Time to sit Phillips, Michalek, Neil and let two of the kids come up from Bingo and play as well.

One is injured, the other one backed up tonight. Team had no choice but to give the net to Lehner. No one will be able to say they didn't give Lehner a chance once Andy went down. Too bad it was under these circumstances but he should still have performed better.

Mendes, enough with comparing Spezza and Alfie with previous team records and stats. Watch the friggin' games. Alfie has and will always be a 200 feet player and Spezza won't. Simple as that. One led by example, the other one hasn't done it so far.

Meh, it is what it is.
All that i hope for now is that we start winning some games so we do not sink further in the standings.

This season is doomed when the management was too cheap to keep alfie. It's like a dark cloud on top of this team and I don't know when it will go away.

It' the way he compares past teams to this year's to show that Alfie was somehow not much better while ignoring the fact that Alfie was always a defensively responsible player and led by example. If one supports Spezza keeping the C for what he is, a one-dimensional offensive player, fine, but Mendes' argument holds no water.

during Alfie's return to Ottawa in December, Mendes made plenty of reasonable arguments that today he just said the conclusion of that and skipped the arguments.

Look, I'm not happy about this season. Alfie was captain for a very long time... was he loved for his style since day 1? My guess is no. He has a funadmentally different playing style than Spezza. What I do see is game after game Spezza is busting his balls. Give it some time. The team will adjust. That said, I'm a new fan. I'm not young, but I moved to Ottawa in 2009 and didn't follow hockey before. Maybe I'm wrong and the team immediately became awesome after Alfie got the c.
