			<description><![CDATA[Out of total of 13 appearances during regular season, Auld was responsible for 3 wins, but also 10 losses, For this he was paid with a 1 year contract worth $1,000,000.00. Guess Murray knew this from the start, and felt he had to add a better backup goalie! Ben Bishop is the best backup we have ever had !!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Auld had 8 starts and 5 relief appearances. Anderson was never "used tired" to spare us Auld, he wants/needs to play a lot of games. So having Bishop instead wouldn't have changed much except maybe we'd have gotten more than 8 points in those 8 games (2 of which went to Anderson in relief). Of course, Bishop may have pushed to start more games but then you're chipping into Anderson's numbers which are not really going to be improved upon. Auld this season: Oct 8 (relief - took the loss) Oct 15 (started - lost) Oct 18 (pulled - took the loss) Nov 11 (relief - sens lost) Nov 20 (started - OTL) Nov 25 (relief - sens lost) Dec 8 (started - OTL) Dec 16 (started - Won) Dec 27 (relief - sens lost) Dec 30 (pulled - sens won) Feb 7 (relief - sens lost) Feb 9 (started - Won) Feb 25 (started - lost)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[there's no need to beat ourselves up or our team we cheer for, nj usually is the most boring opponent and play defence first hockey. there's nothing bad to say about that loss other than we wish we'd had won and spezza was healthy... next opponent please.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Watching Bishop right now really makes me wonder where we would be if we had him and anderson all year instead of Auld. I'm sure Bishops wins majority of the games Auld saw the net in. Also we may not have had to use a tired Anderson as much. Just a thought Anyways players that really need to find the back of the net begins and ends with Smith in my opinion. When he rolls we roll, because he is that secondary scoring. We need that line to generate and sustain pressure. Foligno would be nice to get going, but for some reason I think he is locked into the situation where he is, and will be a while before he bounces out of 4th line duty.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[/start rant Suggesting that the Senators won't call up a 20 year old Andre Petersson because of an honest (yet possibly foolish, depending on accurate translation) interview he gave to some Swedish reporter, that was then loosely translated into English for our judgement... Hmmm, not sure I buy that. Personnaly, I'd rather have a player that is pissed about being in the minors making peanuts, in a second-rate city, than someone that is happy about it. What does someone's opinion of our farm team city have to do with Ottawa anyways? If this is truly the attitude of management, just send the kid back to Sweden now, no use leading him on if he isn't our type of "good community man". If they want to compete in the big leagues, they need to act like it. Oh wait, we don't need him... we have Bobby Butler. /end rant]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@madpajamma totally agree with your point about this team hitting their stride again. it has been this way all season long. As much as the team needed spezza last night, if he was sick enough to not suit up he was probably quite ill. i'd rather him sit a game and get better than to have him play when he's fighting a virus, not play at his full potential and get an injury that would put him out longterm, and really hurt this team.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Watched the game, Ottawa didn't lack intensity, they played and outshot NJ 15 to 9 in the 1st period, which included a Penatly shot by Condra. The 2nd period wasn't as intense, they let Jersey back into the game and they scored on the PP, which is something Ottawa hasn't been able to do as of late. Jersey was the winner of the 2nd period, with shots in favour 14 to 7 and Bishop kept them in the game. But the 3rd, that's almost a half and half. Jersey was the clear winner of the first 10 minutes, had power play chances and Bishop again kept Ottawa in it. But then Ottawa owned the last 10 minutes. Overall in the 3rd we had more offensive zone possesion but we couldn't put the puck in the net. Lots of rebounds, but NJ did a good job of boxing up the crease to ensure it didn't land on an Ottawa stick. In those situations we need more people grinding in front, not flying around on the outside wing. Add the fact that faceoff wins were almost even at 29 to 30, Ottawa outshot them 31 to 20, even if they were not all quality scoring chances. The simple fact is we couldn't score a goal, even with a 5 on 3 for 20 seconds. The problem we have right now, Spezza in the lineup or not, is our Power Play. Everyone knows that EK runs it, once they cover him or hog the lane we don't score. Besides Alfie, nobody else takes a shot on net. Ottawa has to come up with a better pp system that involves more than just EK, because even if the playoffs started now, it would be over. I found no fault in Turris last night, he played his heart out. This is simply just Ottawa hitting a rut at a bad time, everyone knows it's been a roller coaster for them all season. In a game or two, they'll hit the stride again and be back into the winning way, just wait for it.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ What's more telling is that this is the first game you've noticed the "future strippers" - they've been there pretty much all season. Goes to show how dry the game was though as I don't think you were the only fan a bit bored and looking around. Having been to games in the southern US I don't really have an issue with the SBP version of the cheerleaders (the ones in Dallas and LA in particular fit the "future stripper" term much more closely) - but it is a bit disappointing that they feel the need to do that to get some actual noise in that building. Future strippers? are you guys really old or was I that drunk that I thought they were current strippers? Last game I was at the "Dancers" did not look like prostitots....]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Surprisingly prudish for a guy with "sausage" as his nickname (kidding). I don't think they're really trying to "sex up" interest at the game. It's not like they're wearing biker shorts and crop tops like in other arenas. I'm not saying they're necessary but I don't think it's as bad as what they do in other arenas. We're also one of the few arenas where there's no skimpily dressed ice girls during TV timeouts either.]]></description>

It was the first time I've noticed them, which truly is a sign at how bad the game was. But I have to disagree with you. There is no need for that at the game. The focus should be on the game, no prepubescent little girls trying to sex up interest at the game. Especially when the drunken pedophile idiots from Gatineau behind me were jeering in full force. Kind of kills the hockey atmosphere...as does bad hockey.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hedberg wasn't all that great. Too many shots right at his chest or right at his glove. But he made the stops he had to so full credit. I think the biggest difference maker in the game (other than the BRUTAL officiating) was that the Devils D did a great job tying up sticks on our players to deny second-chance shots. Hedberg gave up plenty of juicy rebounds but we could never get a stick on them.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Goaltending has NOT been the issue with this team. Poor defensive play and poor defensive decisions have been bad over the course of the past week. And our offense has suddenly forgotten to score goals. How is Bishop to blame for last nights game? Stopping 33 of 34 shots is doing his his job. Scoring goals is the job of all those in front of him. The only one showing up has been the goaltender.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Was at the game last night. A couple of observations: - Bishop played well. Just need to work on his rebound control a little bit better. Hedgberg was way better as most shots just gets trapped. - Turris looks like he is running out of steam. Still developing and had a couple of good chances. - Secondary scoring is needed. Condra, Smith, Greening, Foligno needs to do their part. - A good effort overall, just needed to hang around the net more and they would have had more chances. SPL]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ lol sorry I meant invisible. Ever since the 1-0 win against Boston he has 3 points, which is 3 points in 8 games. Sure being fourth in the league is amazing, it's good when you make it up there after playing amazing, but he went down to fourth from second and has been stuck there for like 2-3 weeks as I said. He's been stuck there because the other players behind have had to catch up to his point totals, because he was so amazing before the 1-0 win against Boston. Since that game Kessel who was tied with Karlsson in points has caught up and tied Spezza in points. Does that clarify how streaky he is or has been?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Good post Sandy - but don't worry about Buffalo - just worry that we stay ahead of Washington OR Buffalo. .500 will more than do that and even 3 wins should do it. Not a cake-walk, but totally possible especially with Anderson back for most of those games. Last night was the first time in a while that the team looked a bit nervous in front of their goalie. Bishop has been solid but he's no Anderson yet. Lehner's not significantly better than Bishop at this point but you have to admit he exudes confidence even when he's not playing perfect and I think the team skates better in front of Lehner. Really been surprised that Lehner didn't get a couple of more games while Anderson was out.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[That was a really difficult game to sit through last night. I've never been to Scotiabank Place and been so bored at a game before. The game play of the Sens was so unorganized and disinterested for large parts of the game. It's no wonder SBP hired the future little strippers to dance in the aisles in between play (really pathetic move to stoop to this level by the way). If the Sens continue to play at this level for the remainder of the season, the playoffs could be a tough thing to achieve. You don't win games by watching the other team play and by not controlling the tempo of the game.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Not at all. I wouldn't be surprised to see that happen. As for Spezza being "streaky" - while there's some truth to that I think it's more about teams focusing on his line when their numbers are up then letting off a bit when the numbers are down. Some better secondary scoring would help Spezza put up more consistent numbers I'm sure. I would be surprised. The team was not happy with the interview Petersson did and the comments that he made about being given a fair shot. Petersson is really going to have to earn that next call up and I'd be shocked if it happens this season. Yeah forgot about that interview but good point.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Ian Mendes pointed out.. that when Anderson got hurt on Feb 22 the Sens were in 7th place and 7 pts up on 9th overall. One month later the Sens are in 7th place.. 6 pts up on 9th overall. So in a month -- the 9th place team has gained 1 pt. Yes the Sens have not been playing well. Whether it's a bump in the road in a long NHL season for a RE-BUILDING team or that the flu has run through the team... they have not been good up front. But it wasn't too long ago.. that Greening, Condra, Daug, Klinkhammer, Turris, etc were the best -- they were playing great... now the team hits a rut and these guys are AHL'ers. Most of these guys are in the full 1st year in the NHL. Do you not think there would be difficult parts of the season for them? Without Spezza -- Turris was forced to play 1st line centre which he is not. He will be a good 2nd line centre -- he will grow into the game. He is only about 22 yrs old.. another player rushed into the NHL. Bishop had a great game last night. And I thought Gilroy had his best offensive game as a Sens to date. He has been in about 10 games, right? So he comes to a new organization, new teammates, new coach and he is to instantly come in and be great? He is not the best defensively by any means... but give the guy a break. My only worry right now is Buffalo... They have been playing great and unless the Sens go .500 over the last 8 games it could be difficult for them to make the playoffs. Hope the return of Anderson helps this team get back to it's game. Disappointed they did not coming out hitting hard last night. The Devils had a rough game the night before and the Sens could have worn them down but I hardly saw any consistent hitting...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@Shiba You guys criticizing Spezza need to do better than this... "Well considering the fact that he was second in the league in scoring at one point(after his hat trick against tampa), and has been stuck at fourth for like 2-3 weeks right now just shows how streaky he is." Stuck at 4th? Do you think before you type? "He has been crap and invincible ever since Lehner got his first shutout against the bruins or named first star of the week." Crap AND invincible, eh?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Not at all. I wouldn't be surprised to see that happen. As for Spezza being "streaky" - while there's some truth to that I think it's more about teams focusing on his line when their numbers are up then letting off a bit when the numbers are down. Some better secondary scoring would help Spezza put up more consistent numbers I'm sure.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hey homer, you do realize he's been carrying this team on his shoulders for the better part of the season...He's 4th in League scoring...I hope you do realize that playing hockey when your sick, u can infect the rest of the club, which I dont have to tell you could and have had a negative effect on the performance of the team. U didnt pick a great 1st argument to criticize Spezza. Well considering the fact that he was second in the league in scoring at one point(after his hat trick against tampa), and has been stuck at fourth for like 2-3 weeks right now just shows how streaky he is. He has been crap and invincible ever since Lehner got his first shutout against the bruins or named first star of the week. That is the most frustrating about Spezza, when he is hot he is really hot, and when he is cool he really is cool. He is an on/off switch basically. Big difference between Spezza and Malkin, is Malkin can play great and score points, even when his team is playing like crap, and you can say the same for Stamkos. With Spezza's recent play lately I don't think Spezza would have been a game changer yesterday at all.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Why are some folks pumped on Puempel, he's not that good (compared to our other prospects). well obviously or else he woulda been picked ahead of zibanejad and noesen. i just really believe this guy's ceiling might be the highest of them all. obviously we cant predict who really has the highest ceiling so to speak. but this guy is just a text book pure goal scorer, its all he knows how to do. why im really pumped is because i expected him to be our "long-term project" of our top prospects, he just seems like he might be someone that might need more time to develope because he is by far way behind the others in strength to be in the NHL. so it really caught me off gaurd to see him the first one of all the prospects to come to bingo ( although thats mainly because peterborough sucks) but i think you have said this before too, my favourite prospect (outside of the swedes) is noesen.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I think it's clear Spezza is by far the MVP of this team. Hope all the haters finally realize it! And boy does Condra suck, what a pathetic shootout opportunity. I can't wait for the young blood to purge these overrated spare pieces. Aside from all that, fun game last night, just very little finish. Thought Foligno and Turris played pretty well and both created several opportunities. Puck just wasn't bouncing our way. Something does need to be done about our PP though, there's no excuse for the ineptitude it's operating at lately. Onto the next game. GO SENS GO!!!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Except the Penguins are only 1 pt back of the Rangers and could very well take over that top spot. How do you like that first round match-up if the Sens drop to 8th? thought so. After that crash and burn against the devils last night that basically destroyed our chance of catching them or Boston for that matter, I'd like to see the Sens atleast hold on to that 7th spot. Boston would suck to play first round as well, but looking at the standings and Florida has won 5 in a row, they could catch Boston and jump from 3rd to 2nd. That would put us against Florida in the first round....and them oranges I like!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I'd agree if we were at the top of the eastern conference standings, for sure given the circumstances you would like to rest your star if he isnt 100%, but when were only 4 points out of 8th and currently struggling while teams below us are winning. I don't think we are even close to being in a position to take that approach. just my 2 cents. i agree with your thinking though.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Tough to ask for more from Spezza but I don't think it's unfair to expect him to somehow find yet another gear. We should all be glad we have him and thrilled with his season so far, but what's the point of being one of the elite centers in the NHL if your goal isn't to be the absolute best? Getting a game off for "illness" I'm sure was the right call. No sense killing himself to try and lock up 6th place if it means he'll be dragging his ass into the playoffs. Plus it never hurts the team to realize they can't just sit back and let Spezza carry the mail every game. The team should aspire to win without him. In fact, if Spezza's not 100% I'd be tempted to keep him out of the next game and challenge the rest of the boys to win a game without him.]]></description>

I've always supported spezza, he's been awesome this year, are MVP. all I said was I was disappointed he didnt play and that the reason was that he was ill. I like to see guys play through that, and hope that Spezz realizes that even sick he is 10x the player Bobby butler is and that even though he is sick he can still help the team, suck it up and play if you can. but as I said, ill give him the benefit and assume he was so sick that he couldnt play. in that case, get well man. hope you dont miss anymore games.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Well the series is tied being 3-3, might be most wins that gets in. I think this changed for this year where the first tie break is total # of Regulation and Overtime wins, which Buffalo is weak. TSN doesnt show this in the standings, but other sites like ESPN do. The column ROW (regulation + overtime wins) shows that first tiebreak Ottawa has 32, Buffalo has 27 so we are probably fine there.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hey homer, you do realize he's been carrying this team on his shoulders for the better part of the season...He's 4th in League scoring...I hope you do realize that playing hockey when your sick, u can infect the rest of the club, which I dont have to tell you could and have had a negative effect on the performance of the team. U didnt pick a great 1st argument to criticize Spezza. have to agree with Tooks, not a good argument to criticize Spezz. Feeling sick, is one thing, but I am sure the emotions of burying a close friend where you were a palbearer, must have really taken a toll on him. As Took says, he is obviously our top offensive player, and without him Karlsson and Andy, we really would be where most pundits thought we would be. I agree spezza has carried us this year and has been awesome. Obviosuly a tough situation for spezza with the unfortunate passing of his friend, ive beem a pallbearer before, its tough. But the funeral was Monday, and he played a few games since the passing. he has a job to do, he's a pro. he has 20 other guys on the team depending on him, not to mention thousands of fans counting on him. If he was so sick that he had to miss a game. I just think he should have done everything possible and played sick regardless. but ill give him the benefit and assume that he was so sick he couldnt play. lets hope he is ready to next game]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hey homer, you do realize he's been carrying this team on his shoulders for the better part of the season...He's 4th in League scoring...I hope you do realize that playing hockey when your sick, u can infect the rest of the club, which I dont have to tell you could and have had a negative effect on the performance of the team. U didnt pick a great 1st argument to criticize Spezza. have to agree with Tooks, not a good argument to criticize Spezz. Feeling sick, is one thing, but I am sure the emotions of burying a close friend where you were a palbearer, must have really taken a toll on him. As Took says, he is obviously our top offensive player, and without him Karlsson and Andy, we really would be where most pundits thought we would be.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Alls I know is that we must have hit Hedberg's logo about 20 times last night. We weren't brutal - carried the play for parts of the game but just no finish. Not sure if it's gripping the stick a bit or some "get rebounds" strategy that didn't pan out. Not too worried just yet but really don't want to go too many more games before we get the offense clicking again. Need to play like we don't care anymore. Embrace the role of "the team that doesn't belong".]]></description>

I understand what your saying..but the infecting the rest of the team is an over-used excuse. sometimes your around someone that's sick and you get sick as well, but most times you dont. I just think that the Sens were only 3 points back of NJ, with a playoff spot far from garanteed and a tired NJ on the ice. I would have taken my chances to get the HUGE two points. looking back now, they seem even more important. anyways..agree to disagree..thats cool with me. ill give him the benefit and assume he was REALLY sick.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Sorry but Carkner is a big PYLON. Games are too tight and we can't score. NO THANKS. I'm not impressed with Condra's game this year - last year yes. Can we bring up peterssen to play in Condra's place. Hell Condra never hits anyone so at least we get get a little more skill out there. Or think about bringing up Da Costa for some more offence. Spezza Turris DaCosta Smith down the middle with O'brien playing on Smiths wing or vice versa.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@miguel - please find me any constructive criticism in this comment section. My point is; this is the team that got us here and that team works for the fans when we win but when we lose everyone is a bust, needs to demoted, never should have been here in the first place, blah, blah blah. And obviously, when the team is losing the critics will come out, fine. My real beef is with the live audience at SBP. When we are down Spezza, its a huge disadvantage. Playing a fantastic, stingy Devils team is tough on any night, let alone without one of the top offensive players in the league. It's a time when the players need to hear from the fans that we have faith in them and the fans last night blew it. This is how Ottawa fans are and I can accept this for the most part but not right now. The fans sat in silence waiting for their team to do something which at this time of year, is BS. Fans play a role in inspiring a team to do better. Sens fans don't do this...at all, ever. I'm not standing on a soapbox, I am pointing out that a loud, supportive SBP last night, regardless of the on ice product, likely would have made a difference but we'll never know because our fans chose to sulk and bitch about Turris not being Jason Spezza. It's lame and it needs to change. IMO, of course.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I think its about time that Matt Carkner draws back into the lineup for one last showcase before the playoffs. I have no problems with the Lee for Gilroy trade. Gilroy has been decent. He hasn't hurt the team, but really hasn’t improved the team either in my opinion. With all signs pointing to a Sens-Bruins first round matchup, I think the Sens need to give Carkner another shot and give him a chance to prove that he can play a regular shift with the added bonus of his size and toughness that Gilroy doesn't bring. Gilroy might be a better skater and puck mover, but against a big team like Boston that will be running around finishing checks, having Carkner in the lineup might allow Ottawa's more important players to play with more confidence. Its nice to have quality depth players, but when it comes down to it, your Star players more often then not have the biggest impact on the outcome of the game.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[reading through some of the comments rather quickly. lots of talk of Turris. Sure he hasnt put up huge points. but the kid has so much talent and Ive really been impressed with his overall game. Give him a full year and he'll be great. he's still just a kid as well and he's already this well rounded. looking forward to his future in ottawa. Tough loss last night. its getting a little scary and not the easiest schedule going forward. what's been most frustrating is the lack of passion and energy in these losses. we have seen the team play at a higher level, a more intense level this year, and to not be at that level at this stage of the season is frustrating to watch. I'm a little disappointed in Spezza and I'm going to criticize him for the 1st time this year. missing a game because your sick? really? at this stage of the season when you know you might have to miss another one anyday now because of the birth of your child (congrats), but really...suck it up if your sick, your still better sick then any replacement.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I said it at the deadline - we should've gone after Brassard to play 2nd line center for us. Move Turris to 3rd and Smith to 4t line center. BUT NO everybody thinks that Turris is a 2nd line center. Hell he's 21 lets let him learn with a little less pressure! Brassard would've come in handy yesterday. Not as if we didn't have cap space and prospects to get a deal done.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I think we need to call up Peterssen and this time not play him on the 4th line. + when Spezza gets the sniffles can we run out and get him a decongestant.

			<description><![CDATA[You guys should relax about Turris. Give him a full training camp and season with the Sens before judging him. We all know the coaching staff will ask him to train hard this summer to add some weight and strenght. He will be a good player for us for years to come. We sàw last night that we are pretty thin offensively when Spezza is not playing and it's amazing the level of pressure we put on a 21 yrs old kid like Karlsson. You can tell that everyone on the ice are looking to feed either him of Alfie all the time on the PP. What hapenned to MM9, he doesn't know of to score anymore?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[yes we are doing better than we should be... yes some of these kids have overachieved... Reality, we would be right where everyone thought we would be without, Spezza, Karlsson, and Anderson/Bishop . So yes we should be grateful to even make the playoffs, but to call some fans fickle, b/c we want better for our beloved Sens, may seem righteous, but I find it pompous. Spezzerman, yes you raise some good points, and I repsect many of your opinions, but I don't think that jumping on your soap box, and crying out how bad some fans are for not appreciating what has gone on this year is being fair. We have shit the bed agianst an arch rivals, and brutal Laff team, that could not beat the 67's right now. Do you think that performance was fair to the 20,000 (sorry 10,000 ) sens fans who paid on average $200 for a pair of tickets, and put up with the abuse of loser laff fans? Sorry but I don' think it was a fair performance. Then to come out yesterday, in a very important game, where the opposition has played in 3 of 4 nights, and lack passion, and get outworked, is not acceptable. There are few things that are disturbing in this year of overachievment, and if we all desire to continue to improve we have a right o voice our opinion, This does not mean that those overly optimistic people are any more passionate or better fans, than those who want to offer constructive criticism.... IMO only of course The team is not playing with the 200ft passion it did earlier on. Some players have been penalized for lack of performance, while others seem to be given the free pass to suck all they want, and keep getting rewarded with ice time. Their seems to be a double standard, and maybe PM may be losing some of those warriors, who keep getting punished... again IMO only of course]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Can't wait for the next win so our fans think our players our good again. Fickle bunch eh? Turris needs to be worlds better, that is obvious. But, to say he didn't play his best game in awhile last night would be wrong. the only thing he didnt do was score. Well, get in line with the rest of them. It's been a brutal stretch and everyone looks awful right now, except for Bishop. This team has overachieved most of the year to our great benefit but right now are going through an awful, awful stretch at the worst time. I think a better approach, especially at the games, would be to cheer on a Sens team and give them an extra lift they desperately need vs giving up on them. Save the criticism for the end of the year because at this point, considering we are still in a place we aren't supposed to be, it's pointless. This team needs its fans right now more than ever but we'd prefer to give up vs cheer. I love how we complain like little bitches about Leaf and Habs fans coming in and taking over our building only to sit there and listen to crickets at the next home game. A game where our best player is a late scratch and everyone scrambles to adjust to that huge hole. We really needed some noise and encouragement from the fans but, typically, could only muster about 30 seconds worth of ref complaint chants, not cheers of support for a flat team desperately in need of a lift. Guess what guys, people like to make noise at hockey games. And guess what, it inspires players to be better. Just ask Winnipeg. This year, we fans owe this Senators team a hell of a lot more than they owe us. We should act that way.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[give turris time, as others have pointed out his age. here are some examples that come to mind of players that didnt break out until they turned almost 23. claude giroux took almost 3 NHL seasons before breaking out(age 22). jeff carter also took 3 years (age 22) loui eriksson 3 years (age 23) the list goes on and on, some take much longer like filppula who is breaking out this year at the age of 27. all we can do is be patient and support who ever our organization throws out there on the roster.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Difference is that Rundblad was playing his first year in the NHL so I can find scoring droughts and mistakes acceptable for him, however Turris has already played like 178 NHL games and we gave up second rounder for him that would have had potential be another Silfverberg calibre player if we got lucky. .5ppg is not really acceptable for a guy that was drafted third overall, and was putting up 66 goals in 53 games in BCHL. I'd be happy if he had about 13-15 goals by now, but only 8 goals in 41 games right now. Also he's had plenty of time to get into Season form playing alongside Alfredsson. I guess I can just look forward to his play in the playoffs for now. Maclean specifically liked him because he played well against Detroit last year in the playoffs but that was a sample size of 4 playoff games.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[3) The Sens problem of late seems to be that they are trying to adapt into a defence first, playoff hockey team. It seems to me they are getting away from that high risk/high reward style that got them to this point. They are afraid of making mistakes right now which is effecting their ability to produce offense. Then again maybe they are just slumping badly and their real lack of depth talent wise is starting to show as teams are tightening up their games. Either way, I think it will be a tough road to make it too and succeed in the playoffs from here on in.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[2) Why does everyone hate Condra so much. He is our best defensive forward. He is Chris Kelly 2.0. ( and leads all forwards in +/-). I can't wait until we get some more top 6 forwards and he can excel in his proper role of being a 3rd/4th line forward we can through out against the other teams top lines and on the penalty kill. He is not a scorer but all successful teams need checkers too.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[1) I think the last 4 games that Spezza has gone AWOL prove just how important he is to this team. They need him to break the gridlock and open up the game. It's also shown how thin we are on offencive producers.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Not quite sure what all the Turris hate is all of a sudden. He has been a great two way player all year. He has 0.5 ppg and a plus nine not to mention the ridiculous amount of posts he has hit. He is young and as much as I was frustrated by the trade when it was announced (due to the Runblad potential) he has come in here and shored up a position that we have been seeking for some time. Some of the people on here expect dividends for everything right now. Remember... REBUILD!! The fact that we are battling for a playoff spot is a huge bonus and everyone needs to chill and be happy with the success of one year after the team declared a rebuild. Win or lose it is a process for all the young players... many of whom are playing above their own abilities... Go Sens Go!!!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I share your frustration, but I really wouldn't give up on Turris just yet. Games played-wise he's what? 2 seasons into his career? He's only 22 years old, after all. How many players even make it to the NHL by that age? I do agree that he has to step it up a notch and unleash that shot more frequently. But from what I've seen from his playmaking and skating, the kid has serious potential. Just needs more of a goal-scoring instinct. I would be up for moving Turris to the 3rd line, give Foligno some centre time on the 2nd. If nothing else it creates competition. What's everybody think about Klinkhammer? if you ask me, he's done a good job, but if he wants to stay he's going to have to put up some points Rather have him on the ice than: Daugavins Condra Konopka Auld]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Just to finish up my final rant on Turris. After this I won't have anything else to rant about with him. He's played second line minutes this whole time with Ottawa, however his point totals generated is going to be less than last year when he was playing with the Coyotes unless he goes on a crazy scoring streak the next 8 games. He was averaging around 9 minutes per game with the Coyotes, and he is averaging over 16 minutes per game with Ottawa, and he is playing with Alfredsson.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I thought for a team that was missing their best player the Sens were solid tonight. They did however have a lot of opportunities and couldn't capitalise. That was the difference. But tonight wasn't a poor effort by any means... Again, I'm all for a Rangers matchup. The Sens have played them well all season and I honestly believe can win.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ A few games I was all for that, but the way we have been playing, even bottom feeders like the leafs are tough to beat. It seems that the 200ft game we were playing at the beginning of the year has gone missing. The last three games have been just terrible hockey, and they need to fing a way out of this funk... but how? I hope PM has some more tricks up his sleaves b/c plenty of the passion is gone... thank god for Bishop tonight!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Ever since Turris got traded, I really tried liking him. That was up until today. At this point that second round pick we gave up is looking like a waste. Where is the wicked wrister? He's been playing second line minutes for a long time now, based on his supposed potential, and the fact that the Senators have been giving him plenty of ice time he has not even had a break out game yet. He has yet to even record a 3 point night. I mean he was the number 1 ranked N.A skater during his draft year. I guess the BCHL is just a league he used to exploit his skills against crappy players. I mean even Patrick weirioch came from that league and he has not even developed yet. the only exception I guess would be Brett Hull who came from the BCHL, but then again his dad was a superstar. It's just frustrating when you can't profit out of what you gave up for Turris, and the chances you gave him. He had like 3 opportunities in front of the net to score on a rebound today but could not finish.]]></description>
