I don't care what Martian says. I don't know who they are or if they actually have any hockey knowledge. However, this is where I would have started and stopped regarding a response.
I can't complain about someone with a Stanley Cup ring, either. He played 12 games in these past playoffs.

Hopefully his first shot is at the rat that is Brendan Gallagher.

Watson isn’t good fighter but Zach has to be the worst enforcer in the league lol
Figures Dorion would sign him for 3 years lol

I like the Cousins signing but I fear that it's going to expose how much we need an enforcer type, at least another body who will stand up. We have 5 guys (Perron, Stu, Grieg, Cousins and Crookshank) who will stir the pot but will look the other way when it comes to fighting their own battles. We can't be that team vs Xhekaj, Mailloux, Anderson and Pazetta for example.
Brady is Brady and if Ostapchuk is in the lineup that will help. Before anyone says it, Kleven did not show a willingness to fight in the A and you don't want him in that situation anyhow, he doesn't have the experience. Maybe Jenik can force his way into the lineup from time to time.
Our #7 dman should be someone who is willing and able to fight even if it means trading a pick. Englund would be a dream.

Gadjovich, Bennett, Lomberg will all fight their own fights, Tkachuk to a lesser extent as well. Between those 4 they had 18 majors.
We have one player in that category this season in Brady and he had 6 majors last year. Ostapchuk is not making up the difference.
On top of that Miikkola can play a mean and so can Stenlund and Ekblad.
In terms of pests dragging a capable team into battle Florida last year vs us is no comparison.
What do you mean?
edit- omitted MacEwan because hopefully he is not in the lineup.

Cousins sits VERY high on my despicable rat list. Even when the panthers were playing certain teams that I despise and wish the worst for, I was constantly thinking wow, Cousins is an evil horrible cheapshot rat b^stard dirty little shit prick. But now he’s OUR evil horrible cheapshot rat b^stard dirty little shit prick… so a very hearty welcome to the Sens, Nick the Prick!

Nothing wrong with the signing. Cheap 4th line depth.
We're definitely going to be the most hated team in the league by opposing teams.

Florida had 3 players in the top 10 in that list and they won the cup. You need a few of those kinds of players. We now have Tkachuk, Perron, and Cousins from the upper echelon of that list.
Those types of players can get other teams frustrated, get them to take undisciplined penalties, throw them off their game. But I agree with others on here and have been saying this for awhile that we do need someone who can back it up with the ability to fight and Brady can not be doing it as much as he does it for us.
I was surprised to see Rasmus Andersson so high on that list.

If I recall correctly, ironically Watson’s only clear victory at the Sens rink was the fight he had when he returned to Ottawa as a visiting team player to beat up his expensive replacement, MacEwen? Based on their records, if they did have “good tilt” it’s more likely they’d discover some novel way for both ‘fighters’ to lose… My guess would be both taking big swings, missing and KO’ing themselves.

Or third or second, he has proven he can play in that role on a cup contender. He is not a traditional player to play there but he has the ability to fit into a line if put in a position to succeed and when its structured properly.
OMG is that an actual identity they are building. God forbid.
Plays significant role on the best team in the league the last two seasons. Scored the series winning goal against the leafs but yeah he is trash.
Everyone i know that actually plays hockey loves this. Gotta leave it to the internet hockey fan to hate it.

The amount of posters that dont like this is absolutely astonishing to me. You guys have Stockholm syndrome or something?
You definitely like losing. Just a wild comment, I know you miss Dorion but holy hell man. What are you even talking about?
Good they have been the easiest team to play against in the league for years.
Cousins Greig Perron identity line. Inject it into my veins.

Crookshank was never on the team, he only plays in a top 9 role. Cousins played on a line with Bennett and Tkachuk when they went to the finals two years ago. He can score and play a real role in the NHL.
Tkachuk Pinto Batherson
Amadio Stutzle Giroux
Norris Greig Perron
Gregor Ostapchuk Cousins
Macewen
Thats the teams top 13 there will always be an injury they have real depth. Once the inevitable happens with Norris Cousins slides up with Greig and Perron.

What does this have to do with Dorion? Your obsession with him is bizarre. He hasn't been the GM in almost a year. Get over it already.
My point is simply that Cousins, like Formenton, was arrested for sexual assault. Why did we sign one, but not the other? Formenton is a far better player.

I hated Ruutu before he came here, then loved his antics, hopefully this is the same scenario
