"@PSBSens: #BSens are being outshot 40-14 yet lead 3-1."

 

[mianjo]

Bingo win 3-1

OUTSHOT 43 - 15

 

[Vaclav Varada]

Lehner is a rock

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Tied his win total from last season already.

 

[Senscore]

Can't wait for the game in which they have more goals than shots.

How excited should we be about Lehner? I can't remember the last time we had a prospect look this good before making his jump to the NHL.

His step forward in maturity should have fans very excited. He's so mentally strong.

Well, he doesn't fly off the handle as much anymore. Once he's in the NHL I bet he becomes a major target though.

He's realized though that he's way too important to the team to be doing that ****.

Too true. I'm beginning to worry that if we have a season, he will ruin our lottery pick.

Lottery pick?

We made the playoffs last year. This isnt a lottery team.

If their is a season, with our defence we may be a lottery team lol. Doubtful but who knows.

Also unless theirs injury to Andy, Lehner would be in Bingo all season I think. He woudn't have a chance to ruin the lottery pick.

Defence is ****. Our offence is in a transitional period with lots of guys still developing, and Alfredsson on the decline.

 

[Tap on the Ankle]

No Silf points

I'm mad

 

[God Says No]

you could have said the same thing about last year as well, and we made playoffs. playoffs are certainly attainable. not easily, but attainable.

 

[General Granny*]

Finally a dominant game by Stone, want to see him in a top 6 role.

That wasnt true last year?

That wasnt true last year?

Last year's defence was way better than the current Cowen and Kuba-less edition (not to mention a declining Gonchar + Phillips, as well as a Karlsson who will almost certainly not match last year's heights).

 

[CanadianHockey]

That wasnt true last year?

Last year almost everything went right for the Sens and we still only finished 8th.

I think we can be a playoff bubble team, but I am hesitant to say we'll definitely make the playoffs.

 

[HavlatMach9]

So if our defense is bad, and if Lehner plays well and we win more, that's bad because we don't get lottery? I'd do anything if we could go without a season like two years ago, and that means Lehner taking us out of the lottery.

If there is a "season", it won't be quite like the ones we are used to.

Sadly, there won't likely be any season, and going by 2005 procedures, we would only have 1 ball (out of a maximum of 3) in the draft lottery. Unfair in my opinion.

Great post. You managed to get me pessimistic about the season. But you are bang on.

Re. Lehner. I can't think of a scenario in which he plays more than 15 games out of 48 excepting an Anderson injury. Only if he doesn't allow a goal in the preseason might be the only way.
