Uh oh, do that Brunner trade quick then. The window is short and Zib should be in Bingo until someones injured. Keep him up afterwards

He created a one on one against. Yes, he could have dumped it in and restarted the 4 on 3 breakout, which is only slightly less likely to be as good of a chance against, but the play went poorly and probably the worst case scenario happened.
The risk wasn't that bad of a risk to take. We had a point locked up and were not likely to score so killing time to till the shootout was our only real option. Had it gone well, we kill off 20 seconds and get the change. I'm more pissed about the MacArthur penalty than that. OZ high stick for no reason.
You must be a Cowen lover and are trying to justify getting him back in the lineup or else you just don't know what you are talking about.
Devils such a team of ufa's seem like a team that hf built through free agency and tradesWe should be able to beat the Devils in a series i think.
I dont understand what they are trying to do as a franchise. I know nobody wants to tank, but they are the oldest team in the league, have no good forward prospects, and arent contending anytime soon.
They have a ton of vets that would be useful to other teams at the deadline that could really kick off their rebuild. But I betcha they will keep them all, remain mediocre and try to get the 8th seed and get taken out in the first round.
At least they are building from the backend out.
I am not defend Legwand.But he is not only one to blame. First goal on Karlsson, second on Phillips and MacArthur should be blamed before Legwand. And Legwand play was stupid.
As for Zibby, where did i say i'd traded him for bag of pucks?

Considering how the game was going after the second period, I'll take the point. But man, what a terrible mistake for Legwand to make on a 4 on 3 in OT. That's not the kind of play you want to see a veteran making. But whatever, I didn't think they were going to walk away with any points tonight so I'll take the one.
Get Ryan back with Turris immediately. He looked so good back on the first line. He's wasted on that line with Zibby at the moment.

Easier said than done. The real thing to do here is to find a true #2 guy. Should have been done this summer tbh.

The Sens played fine for most of the game. The OT turnover by Legwand made little sense, but our odds aren't very good with 4-on-3 no matter what.
I told myself I'd give them 10 games to see what sort of team they will be this year and for the most part I am pretty happy with what I see.

I expected Legwand to be tried as the number 2 but hasn't seemed like it yet.
If we do
Mac Turris Ryan
Chiasson Legwand Stone
Hoff Zibby Lazar
Michalek Smith Condra/Neil
That could maybe work?
Am I missing something from there?

Yep, with any luck it deflects wide and nobody is talking about this. Oh well, a point is nice, on to the next game.

We should send Zibanejad down to develop some offensive ability, doesn't look like there is much to his game except a nice slapper

Because! That's why!

They probably should sell some guys for young offensive help. Depending on what they can get for certain players, they can kickstart a rebuild considering how good our young D look and Schneider behind them.
Right now, we are on that playoff bubble. At best, we can do some damage in the playoffs on paper if we go into it playing well. Yet again, this team can just as easily finish in the bottom 5 of the conference.

But I feel bad for the Senators.
Devils, in no way, deserved that victory. Everyone was gassed, and they were overworking Severson (27:31, 5 minutes more than any other player) even though he was gassed as well

While they may do some damage in the playoffs, i don't see them winning a cup with this roster. I mean how many guys are over the age of 30 on that team? They may survive against most of the eastern teams in a 7 game series, but i just do not see how they would come out with a victory over most of the western teams.
I thought they played a decent game. A few tweaks here and there to improve our speed and skill would really help. Thoughts:
- defense was pretty solid; PW played better than expected, love Boro's game and him paired with Gryba is (almost) growing on me
- Smith is nothing more than a 4th line centre; not enough speed or skill (or grit either) to play anywhere else
- I love Chris Neil but he just can't keep up; in what rational world do you play your fastest player (Hoffman) with your slowest?
- don't know why Legwand gets so much ice-time; lacks speed, intensity, and that last minute, short-handed, weak, cross-ice, backhand pass was the cherry on top
- as many have said on twitter, ryan + mika + chiasson can't play together ... not enough speed
- pretty obvious (to me) that Hoffman needs to play with/support some of our better/slower forwards like Mika, Chiasson or Stone; having said that, it would not surprise me if he was benched (unfairly) for the next game because he's "not producing consistently"
- would love to see Pageau called up to provide better speed and puck possession, but that's probably 20 games away
- Lazar was solid as always but not sure where he fits with Ryan back on the right side (maybe centre?)

I'm pretty happy with the way the team played. I'm not sure why anyone is complaining
Zibanejad had a decent game I thought
Need to work on those second periods though

Wouldn't mind trying that out for a few games for sure. Still would prefer if they went out and got a better #2 guy though.
