			<description><![CDATA[ Yeah because +/- is the most credible stat in sports. PPPPPPFFFFFFFFF FFFFFTTTTTT Lidstrom had like 60 points and still ended up in the minus. Which meant he was a liability to his team at even strength. Sorry, but being a minus player (while getting like 60 points) should DQ a player from the Norris You do realize that Lidstrom plays HEAVY minutes against the other team's best players right? Not to mention a fair portion of those points (39 of the 62 in fact) came on the power play which (in case you're not aware) doesn't help his plus-minus. Now there are guys with better plus-minus who also play against the top lines (Weber, Chara etc) but to me that just makes those guys MORE impressive but it doesn't take away from Lidstrom.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[If all the Eastern teams keep the exact pace of their last 10 games the rest of the way: 1. Pitt 114 points 2. SENS 97 points 3. Flo 94 points 4. NYR 110 points 5. PHI 105 points 6. NJD 99 points 7. Bos 96 points 8. Wash 93 points Leafs finish second last with 73, Habs last with 72. This doesn't take into account which teams play each other (i.e. strength of scheudle). Atlantic division is pretty stacked by the looks of things - might be most points for that division in some time. At least for their top 4 teams.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ do you know who else is barely 6 foot and about 175 lbs? I'll give you a hint... he plays defense for the Ottawa Senators and is leading all defenseman in goals, assists, and points at the moment. Oh and he is also Swedish. theres a huge difference between a small forward and a Dman. plenty of small forwards make it just fine in this league ex(170-180lbs): giroux, briere, st.louis, RNH. Dmen (180-185lbs+): karlsson, entrom, goligoski, liles. thats a pretty small list if you ask me, compared to heavier players. Well you just proved my point that him being that small isn't really a "knock" on him like you said. not really? i just showed you that only such a fine small list of players actually have a career in the NHL when being that small size. im not saying he wont be a good palyer.. if i was saying that, i wouldnt have originally stated "red wings own calle jarnkrok and i would do almost anything to get him. "]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ive mentioned here before that the red wings own calle jarnkrok and i would do almost anything to get him. he and silfver are the best duo in the SEL. they are almost like the sedin twins (chemistry wise). wings are fully aware of how amazing calle is, just as well as they know about silfverberg. in a recent interview silfverberg did say he would love to continue with calle in the NHL, but only if its in ottawa. and in an interview with Calle today: @steffeG Linemate Calle Järnkrok on Jakob Silfverberg's NHL chances for next year: "I think he'll go in there and dominate." #Sens]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Yup. Plus-Minus isn't completely useless but it's definitely something that only means something in context. Tommy P rarely saw ice time against the other team's top lines but got regular time in the offensive zone (i.e. when we had a faceoff in their end after an icing etc). It's all about the situations the coaches put the player in. You can't get a high plus-minus without doing some things right of course, but it's hardly a complete view of the player.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@ No65* ..... I don't mean to nitpick, but we lost to the Pens 4 games to 2, two years ago... As per our playoff match up, I'd like to see Boston in the first round.

			<description><![CDATA[ Agree to that... It's almost like a father/son scenario.. sort of... What comes to mind when Alfie scored his 400th goal how excited Karlsson was jumping up and down and shaking him... There is a lot of caring and respect between the two of them... it's nice to see. One more sleep until the Heritage Train to Mtl... getting excited to say the least...]]></description>

His temper will used as the excuse to mothball him for another year. I love the play "our Mr. Norris".

			<description><![CDATA[ And that's what I worry about, that Kuba is weaseling his way into an extension. If we do give him another contract I hope it's a year at a time cause he's the ultimate contract year player! I don't get this thought that people actually think Kuba's going to be around next year. I hope I'm right in thinking that the ONLY reason he'd be back is if NONE of our D prospects are ready to make the jump - which seems unlikely. Has Kuba helped Karlsson? Undoubtedly, but the kid can still improve without Kuba as his partner.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Welcome Johnmarc Remember that the first round is always the toughest one to win for top teams. Boston had to beat the Habs in overtime of the 7th game last year and I personnaly think the Sens are a tougher oponent this year. Also, 2 years ago, we lost in 5 games against Pittsburg with all of their top players when some of our top players were injured (Michalek, Kovalev etc) and all the games could have gone either way. I believe in my SENS.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@ NO65 Yeah I know that the bruins are now in a slump and banged up (happy that they are) but still the bruins and pitsburgh are the 2 teams that I don't want to face in the first round cause yes, they are better then us. I'm very happy with what they done this year and I enjoy the ride just as much as all of you sens fans. The other teams I feel there's a better chance that we can go through them cause we have grit and work ethic. I believe that we're a winger or 2 away from a very dangerous team in the playoff. Heck! I'm sure that there's not a team at the moment that wants to face the "cenderella" team in the first round this year. Add a suter and a parisé to our lineup for next year and this team will be dynomite ! (Wishfull thinking of course lol ) I'm new to this board but I'm very happy to find a place to discuss with fellow senator fans. I read alot and don't post quite often.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I think if we face the right team in these playoffs, we could win the first round. I really do not think we line up well with the Bruins, Thomas has our number. But if we can face the Rangers, Wash/Fla/Winnip eg, it will be very interesting. Also I do not want to see the Penguins in the first round. But the fact that we are talking playoffs is again a wonderful option, and win or lose I am very proud of this team, that will only grow from the experiece]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@Johnmarc, I say, bring on the Bruins. If there is one team who will not be intimidated by them, it's the SENS. The Bruins are a tired teams now and seems affected by last season cup run. Also, there are no indications Horton could be back anytime soon. We are tough enough in front with the likes of Smith, Greening, O'Brien, Klinhammer etc. There is nothing better than going in the playoffs with the UNDERDOG stamped all over us.

			<description><![CDATA[I don't like the situation we're in cause it looks like we're gonna be facing the bruins in the first round. There's more possibilities that we're gonna face the bruins then any other teams. It's gonna be a tuff first round if we do make the playoffs ! I would LOVE to face the Panthers/wash/w innipeg or the Rangers in the first round. How sweet would it be to lock in Karlsson for a few years(4,5,6) at a 5 mil cap hit. Looks impossible but that would be the ideal situation.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Sens will sign Karlsson way before July 1st. I think Detroit will go hard after Suter if he hits UFA status.. that is... do they also have the cap room for Parise? I doubt both. I hope the Sens go to 2nd or finish 6 or 7th... They can't fall to 8th.. I have a feeling with the way they are playing.. Pitts catches the Rangers for 1st in the East... There is no way I want to see the Penguins in a first round series with Ottawa AGAIN.. for the 4th time in a row... As for Coach of the Year.. McLean has to be considered. Hitchcock has been around the NHL for such a long time and he has done a good job with a team picked to make the playoffs anyway. Paul McLean, a rookie Head Coach, took a rebuilding team that was supposed to finish dead last in the East to a playoff spot..]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Look at all the giant contracts around the league. How many guys are living up to them consistently? Karlsson is an elite player but if the Sens organization is smart they will offer a shorter term contract with higher salary to compensate. I'd say aim for 3-4 years. However many will keep him an RFA at the end of his 2nd contract. Give him a significant pay increase and make him prove over the next 3-4+ years that he can produce like this consistently. As fans we really can't expect he'll be a 20 goal 80 point player every season. Nor can we guarantee he won't get injured over the course of a long contract and see his production drop off. Nobody expected Redden to drop off the way he did either. Heatley, Gomez, Nash, Lecavalier, Ovechkin, Redden, etc The list goes on and on of guys who were given big money and term. Most of them have lived up to it in some seasons but not at all in others. Shorter contracts are better because it gives teams the opportunity to renegotiate and say hey you didn't play that well the last 3 years why should we give you 8M per? etc]]></description>

It was mentionned in the last broadcast I think that his new mask was being done in Sweden.

			<description><![CDATA[I don't think we should fear Karlsson being offer sheeted this summer. Murray will get a deal done before July 1st, and even if he doesn't I'd say the risk is very low. GM's just don't use the offer sheet very often, unless the GM's name is Kevin Lowe. Stamkos, Parise, Weber, and Doughty were all RFA's last summer and none of these guys were extended offer sheets. I'm not sure if Parise and Weber were protected from an offer sheet by going to arbitration, but Stamkos and Doughty were both unprotected. Anyone that's worrying about Burkie signing Karlsson should chill out. Remember how outraged Burke was when Lowe signed Penner to that ridiculous offer sheet? That's just not something Burke would do. Signing an RFA to an offer sheet is considered a gutless move around the NHL. It's allowed, but not really accepted. Karlsson will be a Senator for a very long time.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[In regards to Kalrsson and the Norris wel...to me it's quite simple. When you watch a senators, predators, bruins, or red wings game the defenceman who is most noticeable is Erik Karlsson. He nigh in and night out controls the play more than anyone else on the ice. Watch any of the other big three and sure you'll see great plays on both offensive and defensive side of the play but the play itself doesn't seem to revolve around them. When Karlsson is on the ice the offense almost always goes through him and almost always ends up in a great offensive opportunity. If ever he gets in trouble(aka giveaway) he gets on his horse and makes a beautiful steel while also following that up with an offensive chance which again is a display of his unbelievable speed and skill. What I love the most is when the oh so many ex NHL player's now turned tv color commentator's are simply in awe at his abilities. They seem to marvel every single night about how good the kid is. Almost every nationaly telivised game has people talking about his and the norris. That to me says a lot. I've seen a lot of Detroit, nashville, and or Boston games all year and the talk of their guys winning the Norris is so far and few between. Probably because they are good but not flashy good but still. I truly believe Karlsson should win the Norris and at this point I believe the voters seem to think so as well, however keep trying to make excuses to themselves as to why the more household name should take the prize. I think if you asked all the fowwards around the league the would say Karlsson is just as hard to play against simply because of his speed and stick checking abilities. So I just don't buy the whole thing about him being challenged defensively. To me he just uses a different skill set to get the job done. At plus 15 he clearly gets the job done at just about the same rate as a guy like Webber Kalrsson for the James Norris award!!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ IMO, Karlsson is way too cocky to become complacent. I'm sure this kid wants to be best in the NHL for a long time. And don't forget the Alfie's mentorship. Murray will make sure he stays around by offering him a job in the coaching staff after he retires. There will be many swedish players to mentor in the future. Murray will sign King Erik before July 1rst. By the way, Karlsson's agent will be on Team 1200 at 3:25 today. Great points, which I do hope you are correct, but do we match a ridiculous offer from another team? I am sure someone like Burke could stir the pot, and make Laff fans happy by making a foolish offer that we would have to match, worse case a team like TO could pick him up. This is one time that the picks coming back may not be worth the loss of Karlsson... we should try to sign him very soon!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ If you insist on honesty well...honestly you clearly know nothing because tendering an rfa is insanely rare. Especially with a player with a big contract. Since the Penner ordeal it has become really quite frowned upon. There's a reason why the best goal scorer in the league didn't get a tendering offer last off season. That same reason will apply to the best offensive defenceman in the league. Guaranteed!! No need to worry about signing him. I just think it would be worth a few dollars to get it done before award nominations get handed out.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[the talk of Detroit making an offer to Karlsson is IMO very real. Detroit would be giving up low first round picks, that will never amount to anything of the Karlsson level. Karlsson being young is not really rooted in the city yet, but with an 8+ term deal, can easily get rooted anywhere he wants. Detroit wins, we can only match the offer. My concern as with almost all long term deals, is that in most of these contracts the players get too complacent, and seem to drop off in perfrmance. So we are caught in a catch 22, we either try to match some ridiculous offer for 10 years, the potentially watch Karlsson level drop off, ( if he gains wieght and loses speed we are in trouble ) or we let him go, and really get low first rounders which may never amount to much. Tough spot to be in for sure! IMO of course]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ @ A Train, Realize that it's the Sports Writers and about the "Small Market..." but these guys are not blind and your theory will be nixed by Karlsson's excellence ! As much as you and I love watching him play, he just has too much going against him to sway intensely conservative prize voters. A sidenote of irony: Karlsson's style of play -- speed, passing, takeaways, positional play -- is exactly where most people who run the NHL want to take the sport: Make if faster, cleaner, higher-scoring and less concussiony. League types should be thrilled by his ascendence, but the writers ETC still don't see an all world D-man unless he's leaving guys unconscious. (Lidstrom would not get the recognition he does if he didn't play in Detroit).]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ @ The Sens Truth, Why do people always look at the negative side of a star player?? Karlsson leads in many depts, over and above his defensive liabilities, which are slowly being erased. His giveaways are wiped out, by his 57 takeaways, he is without a doubt, the leading contender for the best all around defenceman in the NHL, and will get more polished like a Bobby Orr or Lidstrom in the years ahead . And he is only 21 !!!!!!!!!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Karlsson should be a lock for the Norris. with that many points, not to mention the +15 and leading the league in takeaways. The only thing going against him now, is that he isnt 6'4 lol. the selke trophy often goes to a smaller forward who uses great positioning and great hockey sense to be a solid defensive forward, why can't the norris be won by a guy that plays smart and positions himself well. IMO if Bishop stays withe club the rest of the season and gets all the starts until Anderson is back, its a clear sign that Murray is showcasing Bishop, hoping that he can move him in the offseason and get more then what he paid for him. Chirp: any news on the goalie situation going forward this week? after 3 games each, I would give the edge to Lehner in terms of comparing performance. Bishop has been good, but Lehner was great for the most part. any chance Lehner gets called back up for a few games and Bishop sent down?]]></description>

With their captain bound to retire soon, they need someone to step up.. but I would think they would go after someone more solid defensively like Weber? You'd think weber would be nice fit in Detroit but the point they talked about was Kronwall Karlsson combo ..kronwall is locked for anothe 7 years]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'm saying one of those 3 will make the jump - not all 3 - not sold on Wiorcioch either - Gryba to me is the most likely to make next years team. Probably the next D-man after Gryba to make it will be Claessen and he's a couple of years away.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Alright so which one of Cowen, Karl, Phillips, Kuba, or Gilroy do you want playing with a rookie D next season? And what makes you think that all 3 of them will even make it next year? It's not fair to the team, and its not fair to the rookie to have them come up so fast. Those guys need to learn to play D at the NHL from a vet, not another rookie. And to top that off, they need to learn it from a solid vet. As much as I like Karl, his defensive game doesn't exactly scream out. I'd much rather they learn from an experienced D such as Gonchar than say Carkner. I'm sure Gonchar and Kuba have tried to mentor Erik as much as they could, and look where he's at.. Now I don't think it's soley because of those two, but just being around them has probably helped Erik a lot more than we think.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[6 per would be amazing IMHO. Let's be honest he's ahead of them ALL in production and he's only 21. 21! do you honestly think his agent doesn't realise if they hold out they WILL get an rfa offer in 6.7-7.5 for as long as he wants? Let's be honest most GM's don't care about tendering an rfa if the player is this good. Money might be off but I know I would consider 3-4 first rounders potentially 17 more years of a player with Karlsson's calibre and practically guaranteed growth. not trying to troll, and by far not an expert just my opinion]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Will be about 6 million a year I think. Would be nice to get Gonchar traded this summer in some sort of trade package with a couple of young guys to up the ante. The guy can still play but SENS have to make room for Gryba - wiorcioch- Boro. + getting the 5,5 mill off the books would be nice.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Personnaly I would only give him max 3-5 year deal. To many players get these big long contracts and then disappear for 5-9 seasons. How would you love to have Lacavaliers deal right now? He was suppose to be top 5 scoring for his whole career. I would love to have Karlson as a rfa going into his next contract rather than huge term deal. Dont get me wrong, he has amazing talent. He has fluid skating, great hockey sense with an amazing ability to land that spectacular pass through defenders. Having an escape claus is just a good business decision.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[karlsson's agent did say he is looking for arround hedman money which is cap hit of 4.0 but obviously that would be a huge underpayment for karlsson. mike green and keith are in the mid 5mill range. boyle and lidstrom more in the mid 6 range. just hope we dont exceed that, wont surprise me if we do though. BM doesnt have the greatest rep with contracts lately.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Keith money looks right for Karlsson if u break it down the deal average of $7.913 million over the first four years, $7.55 million for the next two years, $5.5 million for another two, $4 million for two more, and then slightly more than $2 million for the final three. Total: 13years/$72 million, for a cap hit of $5.54 million.]]></description>
