			<description><![CDATA[10-20 games? thats a bit of a stretch. I can think of at least 5 things that gave the sens more losses than Kuba 1) chris phillips for the first 60 games of the season 2) Brian Elliot 3) Sergei Gonchar's inability to provide any kind of offence OR defence 4) Karlsson/smith/ ruutu penalties at the worst times for the first 50 games 5) Spezza being injured (can't really blame him for that) I'll admit Kuba was absolutely brutal for the first 15-20 games he played this season. But it wasn't exactly ideal circumstances and if you'll remember, Kuba said he wasn't ready even after being cleared by doctors. its no wonder he didn't perform well right away. Captain alfie... no, cowen wasn't closer than Gryba.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Conor is Kuba's #1 fan if you haven't noticed already..... Cowen with 0 NHL games played on a ELC or Kuba with his $3.7M contract and horrible defensive game that pretty much cost us 10-20 games this year...What would you choose? Hopefully his 2 goals he scored at the end of the year will get some stupid GM to take him....]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@Conor Having Kuba and Karlsson on the same line let alone the top line is a disaster waiting to happen. Neither one is defensivley responsible or physical and only one puts up offensive numbers. Cowen may not have NHL experience but he was closer to making the team this season than Gryba was.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Actually, I have Karlsson on the top line.. Kuba is his partner so naturally he's there too.. I guess you guys didn't notice this, but Karlsson plays about 9 times better with Kuba than with anyone else... Gryba over Cowen? obviously! Cowen hasn't played a minute of hockey in the NHL or even the AHL. You guys need some reality checks.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Wow I really like that as a first or second line. I hope we can get as much coverage as possible for Bingo and a blogger would be a great idea (easier said than done finding one). And FireBall hit the nail on the hammer about Yost, hes a excellent blogger for someone living in NYC and writting about the Sens. He has followed the team since joining HB and his coverage is usually a good read. On the other hand Chirp is a great insider and treats his fanbase really well, thus why the community here at SensChirp has grown so much. Hats off to both you for your good work following the Sens. When hockey season starts my 3 favorited pages are Hockeybuzz, Hfboards, and Senschirp.. cant get enough of my hockey.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I love the idea of a Bingo Senators blogger. Maybe have a contest involving Binghamton area readers or serious followers that have an AHL Live subscription. As for the Heatley question.. Heatley may have seen what was coming but he did not improve any because of it. Heatley's final stats this year: 26G 38A 64 Pts in 80 games. So much for 50 goals or 40 or even 30 and he has a great play maker in Jumbo Joe too. He must have a reduced role which will prompt him to demand a trade this summer and not accept the best available offer. Good riddance.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[CHIRP, if you are going to do a playoff pool, I'd recommend tying it to a charity (rogers house or do it for Darren come to mind) you could have a registration fee of 5-10$ with half of the proceeds being donated to charity. i would keep it fairly simple; something like choose 12 forwards, 6 defensemen and one team 1 point for goals, 1 point for assists, 2 points for team win additional 3 points for shutout. just my thoughts.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I realize I'm changing topics here, but was anyone else as impressed as I was during the last game when Zack Smith came over and changed places with Winchester so he could fight Nathan Horton, instead of Winchester? I thought that was fantastic. Winchester is pretty tough, and it looked like he was fully prepared to drop the gloves, but Smith is a bit bigger, bit tougher, and stepped in when he thought that Winchester was over-matched (Horton is huge, by the way) I've seen where alot of you don't really think Smith brings alot to the table, but I bet that he was the most popular guy in the room following that game...he has to be back next year, in my view.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Clouston did NOT have to go. He was a great coach and he still is a great coach who is great with younger players. IMO is was not the coaching or GM, it was the players. Sure Clouston may have had a hard time at parts of the season but he is not the only problem. I think he did a great job with what he had to work with. I would have given him another year but i guess some1 has got 2 take the blame. When you have 4 coaches since the 08 season its got to be something more then just the coach. A+ on the Murry decision, F on Clouston.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ How about pick one skater per position (2 defense, no goalie) for each conference, as well as 1 team per conference (no goalie because wins will be awarded for the team.) No changes can be made after the playoffs begin Points System Forwards Goal= 2 points Assist=1 point Defense Goal=3 points Assist=1 point (or 2 points, but the best defense pile assists up as easily as forwards in playoffs) Team Win= 2 points I think this method is pretty simple because once the picks are made you can just wait until the end of the playoffs and don't have to deal with people resubmitting after each round.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Reading through the posts and the hatred towards Yost makes me laugh. It sounds like Yost just broke SC's heart and all the comments are like SC's friends saying "oh you're better than him anyway" LOL. It's a good call by Yost to stay at HB because it was either here or there, and it's much better to be considered the best blogger on one of the most visited sites, then the backup blogger on a site visited only by Sens fans (not saying you don't get great traffic Chirp, but people come to read you, I think Yost would become an afterthought on here because of his writing style). Both are phenomenal writers and I'm glad us Sens fans have 2 guys like Yost and SC to write for our team!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[So here's the absolute best case scenario for Sens fans who have rabbit's feet or know voodoo etc: Sens win the draft lottery (of course). Nashville beats Anaheim with Fisher playing. Pittsburgh beats Tampa Bay with Kovalev playing. Rangers, Buffalo and Montreal all win their first round series. (Or at least two of them do.) LA, Phoenix and Chicago all win their first round series. (Or at least two of them do.) Nashville then loses in the second round. Pittsburgh loses in the second round. The rest of the second round is all won by the lower ranked teams. After that, it doesn't matter.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I think it was Sandy who was talking about Lindy Ruff as Ottawa's coach next year, I was just thinking of the brawl in Buffalo a few years back when Ruff and Murray got into it on the benches, I don't think that he will be the coach in Ottawa. I didn't before, but now that I remembered that it would be not entirely plauseable]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Technically 21st overall ... but yes. I'd almost feel better if they lost in the first round since we'd then be guaranteed that pick (or even better if someone below them in the standings were to get to the conference finals). Heck, dream scenario though is that Nashville wins their series against the Ducks. Then have the East final with two of Montreal, Buffalo and the Rangers, and the West final with two of Chicago, Phoenix and the Kings. Then that Nashville pick would become 17th overall and we'd still get an extra third rounder in 2012.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It's looking like the Sens will have a shot at either Couturier or Huberdeau at 5th overall. Crossing our fingers not to be bumped down to 6th overall by the draft lottery as that would truly suck balls. I'm thinking we should take either of those guys ahead of Strome. This becomes especially true given the playoffs Huberdeau is having right now that might even get him picked fourth. I'd be psyched to get a 6'4 defensively responsible Couturier at 5th overall - especially because he apparently didn't have any time to recover from a bout of mono which hurt his totals this season. He might have even been a consensus #1 if he didn't get mono this year.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Cloustan's biggest problem, in my opinion, was his arrogance or at least that is how it came across. I think he was pigheaded and when he made a mistake he would just stare into space - I've referred to it before as "Stunned Ignorance" - anyways - best of luck - think he was hired to put out a fire with a water pistol. Anyways, he'll make a good Asst Coach and maybe a head coach in a few years but he needs to mature.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[For those who track such things: We (as Sens fans) want Pittsburgh to win one round (and only one) so that our conditional pick for Kovalev comes to pass and isn't even later. We also want Nashville to win one and only one round so we get an extra pick in the Fisher deal. It would be a third rounder, but (IMO) that's better than getting a later first rounder this year if they go far enough to get us a second rounder.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Murray has said many, many times that Cowen will start in the NHL next year. Of course, things can change but I think the team is committed to making sure Cowen sinks or swims next year. Rundblad too for that matter. Kuba, Gonchar and Phillips play no matter what (unless one of the first two get traded - but nobody'd take them). Karlsson, Lee, Rundblad, Cowen - all ahead of DSmith on the depth chart. Carkner - I'm going to guess Murray really wants him around. He's "local" of a sort and popular in the room, plus very comfortable in the press box. Now maybe we could move him and rely on Neil and ZSmith to drop the gloves ... but neither guy is a true heavyweight. Wiercioch, Benoit, Hale - all guys that can play when needed but (agreed) DSmith is probably ahead of them. Any way you slice it, no room for DSmith.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Yeah but the Sens got rid of that over-bearing contract for a player... based on his stats the last 2 seasons APPEARS to be slowing down. Michalek, though definitely not the goal scorer, is a cheaper, younger, and faster player all-around.. and hopefully, staying healthy, will contribute on a higher level next year. He finished the year with 18 goals I believe, 8 behind Heatley but points wise not nearly as much.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ No room. Sorry. If we somehow get a GM to take Kuba off our hands and another GM to take Gonchar ... then maybe. Hale was competent too. Wiercioch looks like he can be a player with some more work. Benoit showed some flare etc. Nothing wrong with having some great spare parts in Bingo. Smith is ahead of Benoit and Wiercioch at this point in time. He is clearly better than Carkner. That said, room may be a problem and he may go to Bingo as first callup. I think there is a chance Cowen starts in Bingo.]]></description>

They disagree about almost everything except for unanimously liknig Gretzky, Messier and Smyth. One more thing they all hve in common is their hatred for MacT.

			<description><![CDATA[Being an asshole just for the sake of it is unnacceptable, but being an asshole towards someone because they suggested Craig MacTavish for our new head coach?

To me, it's a no-brainer to not even consider Craig MacT. I will continue to jump on anyone who makes this suggestion. I may be an asshole, but I'm right.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ If Clouston's legacy is helping get that douchebag exposed for what he is and out of town on a rail, then he's the best coach in Sens history. This is more about Clouston not being the best fit than him being a crap coach. He had some success, some failure. In the end they're going another direction - all part of hitting the reset button. Fisher, Kelly etc - solid players that any team would want, but they're out so we can start fresh. Clouston thing is similar IMO. As for Yost - who needs him? We all come here for Chirp anyway. Love Johne's idea though.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hey Chirp, No worries about Yost! Do you think there's any chance Lindy Ruff leaves Buffalo for us? Imo he is without a doubt the best candidate out of the possiblly available coaches. I think he's canadian too so that could be a draw. He's had that Buffalo team overachieving for years, and it's pretty clear this team needs a veteran coach, not another rookie learning his trade. Go Red Wings and Stars today!]]></description>

Also things like u mentioned with da costa getting benched, that's just stupid, he should have gave him a chance to play on the 1st or second line to see how he does, and before all the trades he did the same with butler, called him up and put him on the top line and gave him limited ice time and then look what happened when he got consistent time on the top line with spezza and they got time to gel.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I agree that Clouston had to go. Can't help but wonder if they had not chosen Clouston, would Heatley still be a Sen? Sorry to hear about Yost. I agree that this would have been a very good partnership and in the long run would have been of greater benefit to both of you. Unfortunately, these kinds of things happen all the time in many industries. I've seen top talent in my industry jump ship for more money and promises that surely could not be honoured. Many times over, these people have regretted their decisions. I'm sticking with Chrip. Over and over again you've proven to be the more reliable and grounded site to get my Sens info from. Looking forward to the letter of the week too. It's always good to get differing points of view, after all.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Seriously, how dumb are some of you people? Especially those of you waxing on about how bad of a job Murray is doing? Do you really think the owner of the team, with a business that was valued in the billions, is just running this team on a hunch? Do you really think he'd put a $100-million-a- year business in the hands of a guy if he didn't believe in him and hadn't already done his homework? You guys talk sometimes like the NHL is some utopian world where only the Senators' interests are catered to: all players, coaches, GMs and hockey people are for the consideration of our team only. You do realize that there are 29 other teams always evaluating? Some making the exact same moves we're making. Seriously, get a grip. Stop saying **** like "Murray should have been fired" and start telling us who else should be put in charge instead and how feasible that plan is.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[good idea on the bingo writer johne the way Murray has been building its quite obvious that bingo and Ottawa are one big organization. Lots of teams draft and sign for their NHL clubs, while their AHL teams are filled with the guys who 'didn't make the cut'. What we are seeing with OUR rebuild is players being signed to the AHL, and given the opportunity to move up, instead of the other way around. The success of Binghamton will become more an more important in the coming years. I want the guys who come up here to be in a competitive and winning mentality. this is why pitts has been so succesful without their top scorers, their farm team is filled with winners.]]></description>
