lol, just this year we played much better games vs Dallas, LA, and a couple others. Not close.
Nah, those were good performances but last night was the best 60 minutes Ottawa's played this season IMO.

I wager that a huge chunk of people who attended yesterday were casualsthis is actually my point lol... we sold less than 11 K last night... its not like 9 000 Die hards didn't show up.. the casuals that never went before.. are still not going.. for what really is the same excusem just masked differently.
Melnyk is most certainly a huge problem for this team... but I don't think hes the biggest problem with the attendance. that's all.. not back to hockey..
jaros is good if he can cut down on the weird giveaway passes hes out second best d man next year.
AgreeGood game last night, Tkachuk is involved every time he hits the ice, kid is a stud.
Batherson continues to show some great offensive flair, needs to round out his game a bit, but man he's good.
The D played much better this game, forwards supported them really well in zone exits, and the rush through the NZ came in waives. If we continue to play like last night we'll win our share of games.
I love magnus. I know hes considered a bust but i think hes a phenomenal 3rd/4th liner.
observant and smart... but... product is cheaper... and WAY more fun that last year....sounds like a bargain?
Can’t wait to see Brucie. Put two TVs next to each other to get his full glorious colossal mass in frame.
White so good when he gets the puck at full speed.
A top 9 of:
Dzingel-Duchene-Batherson
Tkachuk-White-Stone
Boedker-Tierny-Ryan
Is actually a really good top 9..
Special players aren't typically 3rd/4th liners.
I'm okay with him being considered a good 4th liner. Above average.
Insert Pageau and remove Pyatt, and that becomes a pretty great 4th line imo.
Nice complete game, all lines were dangerous, and the Smith line just smothered Zib's line, had a bunch of bonus offensive zone pressure and scoring chances, and scored to boot!
Love how when the puck doesn't go in for Stone's line this game, Duchene's line picks up the slack.
Ryan had several great chances and man is he skilled with his stick.
Nice evening at the office for Andy, definitely deserved a SO finally.
Hard to imagine that we still have Brown, Chlapik, and Formy to potentially insert into the lineup next year, and that's not to mention Balls, and Norris down in college.
This team is such a pleasure to watch
What do all these posts have to do with tonight’s game?
Speaking of the game, the Sens claimed the crowd was slightly over 10,000. They are full of it.

were you there?
there wasnt 11000 in the rink. it wasn't close to that. I had a leak after the game, walked to the car in lot 9 and drove out. outta there in no time.
the number of people actually there was embarrassing
If you question the sens or their management on their facebook page you are labelled as a fake fan and a hater and told to go cheer for the leafs.

I know for a fact, he is not. Not at all. His wife hates it there. Miserable to say the least. No amount of California sunshine is going to move that dark cloud over him and his family.
The Triple D line? (Drake Doosh Dzing)The D0uche & Bath line?
Actions have consequences.
Eugene is being reminded of this with every home game.
Suggesting there is no link and that this is just fans being “cheap” ignores the clear evidence at hand.
That 4th line was epic last night. I have a feeling that line stays together, and thank God for that as Duchene and Dzingel can keep doing their thing. The White line could have had 3, and even the Tierney line looked good. Let's hope no one gets hurt.
White is the key . If he doesn't get a chance as a center out of necessity, maybe none of this happens. I know Stone gets a lot of praise, but White is doing it at both ends and that one sequence that resulted in him nailing the post was a thing of beauty. Chabot. Tkachuk. Stone. White.
I really love our 4th line. Smith adds so much to that line, he's really the straw that stirs the drink. That little delay before passing it to Paajarvi on that goal last night was great.
How are we going to fit Pageau into our lineup?
Yeah or :
Dzingel-Duchene-Batherson
Tkachuk-White-Stone
Formenton-Chlapik-Ryan
Smith-Pageau-Paul
With Brown, Balcers, Norris still developing.
Trade Boedker and Tierney for picks
That could be the forward group next year. But unfortunately don’t see it happening if Melnyk still holds the team
If Melnyk miraculously sells to a group involving Alfredsson, EK comes back with a somewhat reasonable contract (let’s say 10.0 AAV) :
Chabot-Jaros
Lajoie-Karlsson
Wolanin-DeMelo
Harpur
Trade Ceci for picks; JBD and Tychonick still developing
Get a solid goalie (so Andy is 1B or even backup) and competent coaching staff and that team has a lot of potential
