No-one really knows whats going to happen with Zibanejad...

General consensus among fans is to send him back, but Murray and MacLean seem to love him.  Who knows.

EDIT: Sounds like the decision will be announced today.  Apparently the coach's meeting with the press has been delayed so that he can talk to Zibanejad first.  Makes me think he's being sent back.
 
Sens sent Zibanejad back.

I agree with that move and their reasoning.  The only reason why I might have been hesitant is that they play a much shorter schedule over there (~50 games?) and on the big ice surface.  It's too bad they can't send him to the AHL.
 
Yeah hard to argue with the decision. He hasn't played bad though his play away from the puck has been pretty good for an 18 year old.
 
Hey Ferret, these are the guys that will be carrying our franchise for the foreseeable future.

Da Cost centre of attention
By Bruce Garrioch
Ottawa Sun

Stephane Da Costa will be the centre of attention Thursday night at Scotiabank Place.

Banished to the fourth line because of indifferent play, the 22-year-old Da Costa is going to be given a good chance to get his act together playing with captain Daniel Alfredsson and winger Nick Foligno against the Florida Panthers.

And, Da Costa is going to get the chance to prove he can stay for a while after the club decided to send rookie Mika Zibanejad back to Sweden Wednesday. Then, coach Paul MacLean revealed centre Peter Regin won?t require surgery on his shoulder but he?ll be out 6-to-8 weeks.

?He?s opted not to have surgery,? said MacLean....MORE

Well, almost.  Due to 3-point games, it's still a little less than average... But it is very nice of you to be so supportive of our fellow fans.

At this point in the season, being .500 is probably in the average range. It's early, might as well be generous. It's probably going to be a long year for Ferret and Sucker.
 
Some excitement in Binghamton tonight.

In the third, Sestito takes a run at Filatov, elbows him in the head.  Sestito gets tossed, and Lehner loses his shit, takes off his lid and jumps him, earning himself 4 minutes in penalties.  Filatov is cut, gets taken off the ice by a trainer.  It's confirmed to the media that he won't be returning.  Apparently Filatov disagrees, refuses to stay in the locker room and returns to the game.  Bingo goes on to win 4-2.

Just looking at the lines I think .500 is surprising! Maybe I don't know enough about the players though. Karlsson looks like an assist machine though.
 
Yet another third period comeback leads to our 5th straight win, and first over a decent opponent.  Down 4-1 in the third, went on to win 5-4 in a shootout.

We did lose Alfie, though.
