This team doesn't need a shake up. They just need to play smarter. We goth the pieces, they just don't fit right now.
Nice to see that they called this. Obviously we won't know what was said but hopefully Spezza was the catalyst for this meeting.
They need their ***** kicked. This team is so much better than the way they have been playing imo.
if i recall correctly, the Sens are losing to the Sharks
let's not overreact.
We had Alfredsson then
So when Ottawa started 6 - 10 the year they went to the cup it was not Alfredssons fault they started poorly, but it was because of him they turned the season around in November. Now this year when we start in a similar fashion in October it's because we don't have Alfi.
All I have to say is.... brilliant!
I wish the Alfi rhetoric would just stop. If we still had the guy I'm sure it would help but this has nothing to do with him. Alfi didn't take away the little Alfi angel that was on everyone's shoulder reminding them in real time not to screw up defensively. True story
AJ Jakubec
MacLean says Craig Anderson, Robin Lehner & Zack Smith have been their best and most consistent players so far. #Sens
Erm....
I;ve said it beofre, I'll say it again, this team needs a Kris Versteeg, someone who plays with a line drawn in the sand because no one on our team is doing that. When Cory Conacher is your gritty forward, who have huge huge issues.
Ott: Versteeg
Flo: 3rd rounder
Versteeg is the rat we need, emotion, dirty goals, grit - that's what we need.

I wouldnt mind seeing Spezza play with a couple non 3rd/4th line wingers. or failing that a couple of guys with some hockey IQ. that'd be alright.
Id like to see another top 4 defenceman in here at some point.
I'd like to see more speed in the lineup.
Zibinejad Spezza Conacher
Macarthur Turris Ryan
Hoffman Pageau Michalek
Mathias Smith Neil
Call up Hoffman, trade for Mathias.
The defence IMO is harder to address.
Karlsson although he made a few mistakes took a huge step up on Sunday with respect to his style of play and compete level.
It looked like he slapped himself out of injury style Karlsson and decided to attack the game like pre injury karlsson. jumping into the attack, anticipating and picking off passes and launching the attack, hanging out down low and carrying the puck wide down low, shots from everywhere...
ill put up with mistakes all year if he plans on taking his talent out for a spin again. He needs to play like that and push the pace to return to what he is. the more he plays like that the sooner its all going to come back to him.

Erm....
What a shame, I thought mac wasn't the type of coach that played favourites. Also no turris?
Guess he'll leave anderson in, till he figures it out....
It seems like a lot of people are forgetting that. The odds of us winning this game is extremely poor.
Are up we for the most panicky fan base award this year?
Seriously, 4 of our 5 losses were against 2 of the top teams in the entire league. The only loss that we really should have marked in the "win" column prior to the game was against the Oilers, and the team actually played pretty well in that one.
The game against the Hawks will also be brutal tough. I suppose people will be jumping out of tall buildings if we drop that one.
