Official Ottawa Senators Thread

per SC..
  • Sens skated this morning and Rundblad looked to be the odd man out on Defence. Pairings included Phillips-Lee, Kuba-Karlsson and Cowen-Gonchar.
  • Forward combinations were as follows, Michalek-Spezza-Filatov, Greening-Zibanejad-Alfredsson, Foligno-Smith-Neil, Condra-Konopka-Butler.  Da Costa skated as the 13th forward.
  • Peter Regin, Jesse Winchester and Matt Carkner were all absent at the skate this morning.

Given that alfredsson is aging those forwards look pretty bad -- as bad even as the leafs group tonight.  How would you compare the teams?
 
The Leafs suck.

So do the Sens, right now, but I'm looking forward to this season.  Filatov, Da Costa, Greening, Butler, Zibanejad, Smith and Condra have all shown promise, and I'm excited about what they could develop into.  I'm not booking my playoff tickets, though.

One team is rebuilding the other thinks its done rebuilding.

Ottawa, Binghamton and St. John's all kick off their seasons tonight.  I love hockey.

Are you going to the St. John's game? I'm curious as to what/if they do any kind of Baby Leafs ceremony.

Nope, it's in Providence.  Single game tickets go on sale tomorrow, so I'm gonna buy a couple to the Binghamton games in February.  Then I'll see how it goes.  Don't really know the AHL well enough yet to know who I want to see.

Anderson looking good so far.
 
5-3 loss to Detroit.  Bit of a bummer, but did anyone expect Ottawa to win.

- Good first and third, but the second was a train wreck.
- The Michalek - Spezza - Filatov line looks to be working.  2G for Michalek, 2A for Spezza, 1A for Filatov.
- Zibanejad got his first NHL point, assisting on the third goal.

Ottawa has three big problems, as I see it. The Canadian dollar is going to start declining in value, the team's ticket sales are going to crater because they're clearly re-building, and Murray is, well, greasy. Listen, Quebec City is building an NHL arena and I bet its because they're getting Melnyk's franchise.

You realize how little sense that makes right?
