Reading posts lately it seems that the Sens should just pack it in and focus on next season, no point trying anyways.
You're absolutely right!
1. Winnipeg has won 10 in a row.
2. We've lost 4 in a row.
3. No Pinto. (Maybe) no Norris.
4. Tkachuk gave it his all (injured) for Team USA, but can't be bothered to dress up for the playoff drought-ed, free falling team he's the captain of... That's after playing uninspired, one-speed hockey for weeks, before suddenly morphing into prime Lindros the second he flew to the 4 Nations.
5. Meanwhile, our best goaltender this season is playing in the AHL and insisting he's good to go after taking a hard hit that would have taken another one of our goalie out for a month.
6. Furthermore, Steve Staios is still "assessing" the team (zzzzzzzz) and won't do anything to help the offense... No matter how cheap and/or plentiful the options on the market.
7. Finally, Gary reduced Hartman's suspension for slamming Stützle's face on the ice (very uncharacteristic of him), yet insists on upholding the 1st round penalty on us for fired-GM Dorion's buffoonery.
With all that going on, I for one will definitely make the trip from Montreal to Ottawa just to wave a giant white flag in front of the CTC before the game begins.
