			<description><![CDATA[ Wow, what a joke. Management continues to mistreat Lehner, and yes that is exactly what they are doing. They publicly stated it was an open competition while Anderson was out, and then clearly just went with the game plan they had in their heads from the get go. A lot of people complain about Lehner's hotheadedness and immaturity, but these are bi-products of his competitive nature and part of what makes him strive to be so good. If management keeps f'n with him, he's slowly going to start losing SOME of that drive to be the best he can, because results clearly aren't the driving force and he can't trust what BM says anymore. By his actions BM is saying Lehner's stuck in AHL no matter what he does, not really the best way to motivate your goalie of the future. I'm a huge BM supporter, and I respect the skills of both Bishop and Anderson, but this situation was handled very poorly. I agree with you If I was Lehner I don't know if he could do another year I see him heading back to Sweden and I don't blame him at all .. He is better then Bishop ..Lehner got u lost a game your gone treatment I just wonder those points we left on the ice if Lehner was in would we be only 4 points out of not making the playoffs ?!?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I think it's the same for most fans. For reasons that I can't define or explain I just feel more comfortable with Lehner than with Bishop. Me as well.... The team has gotten away from its hard skating and hard forechecking game... The young guys on the team know Lehner and won with Lehner... they have more familiarity with him than Bishop.. Both have done a good job in keeping the team at .500 since Anderson went down. Just think if Anderson did not get injured.. I think Boston would be looking up at Ottawa. The team was playing really well... the timing just sucks..]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I think you misunderstood. Silfverberg was named alternate captain of Sweden's world championship team. You have the right idea though. They probably did it in hopes that he'd stay in Sweden for just a little bit longer. Wasn't that the whole point? That he's "choosing" between the Worlds and NHL playoffs? What's to misunderstand? Of course, it's a bit of a moot point since he's already stated that he'd come to the NHL with no hesitation. I guess I'm the one who misunderstood. I assumed that you thought that he was promised an 'A' with the Sens when you said, "I'd assume they named Silfverberg an alternate captain to help convince him to come." Doesn't matter anymore. With the Worlds in Sweden.. that may be enough to make him stay. If he wants to play in the Olympics for his country he may have to play in the Worlds this year and next (if the Sens are out). It's up to him...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Maybe, just maybe, Bishop has impressed the management more in his time with the Senators than Lehner has done so far with the organisation. Or are you implying that to prove to you it was an open competition Lehner had to win the job.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I think it's the same for most fans. For reasons that I can't define or explain I just feel more comfortable with Lehner than with Bishop. I feel the other way, Bishop is solid, you know they wont score unless its defensive breakdown, Lehner can give up the ugly goal but alos make desperation saves due to being out of position. In any case I fell better if Anderson is in there over both. Anderson>Bishop >Lehner Tookie That's exactly why I can't explain it. I know that Bishop is more sound positionally and more consistent. Lehner just seems to have "something" that gives me confidence. maybe it's the fact that I had watched Lehner with Ottawa, Bingo and Sweden and "got him" as a tender and knew what to expect. I'm confident I will get there with Bishop too. I agree though, Anderson is above both of them. The biggest things with Anderson is the confidence he gives the players in front of him and the absence of the "the next shot could go in" feeling that I always had watching either Leclaire or Elliot.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I think it's the same for most fans. For reasons that I can't define or explain I just feel more comfortable with Lehner than with Bishop. I see what your saying, but I feel its the opposite when playing the pens. I would honestly rather Bishop over Lehner simply for the fact that Bihop is positionally sound and big so you know he will always be in position to make the saves. Lehner is more aggressive and will challenge shooters, but the skill on that team can make for some nice passing plays into open nets. Obviously Anderson is our go to guy and has played amazing all year and if he is 100% I take him, but I really like our chances vs Pit with Bishop in net Also Bishop is good at stopping dump ins and is a great puck handler as well, so if we can limit the dump game by Pitt, and force them to carry it in, and we collapse at blue line we could create a lot of turnovers]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ For me Lehner has the sparky to him as you put it (more athletic), that can stand on his head and steal games just like Anderson. Bishop seems to be a solid really good big goalie, keep you in the game type of goalie. Playing the pens I think we need some stand on your head goaltending against Malkin Crosby squad, but I could be wrong. There's not a big difference between the way the team plays in front of any of the three goalies, but if I had to rank how they play from "totally confident" to "mildly confident" (since the don't play as if it's Leclaire back there for any of them) it would be Anderson, Lehner, Bishop. So they play "fine" in front of Bishop but IMO play a bit looser in front of Lehner and even better in front of Anderson. I doubt any of them specifically would say they have more confidence in Lehner than Bishop and I'm not saying they do - but they do seem a tiny bit tighter in front of Bishop sometimes.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The standings in the East are so crazy right now and with the Pens on such a roll the Atlantic is suddenly up for grabs. We make the playoffs it will clearly be in 7th or 8th, so we would play Boston, New York or Shittsburg. Given the choice, which match-up would you guys prefers? I would prefer to play the Rangers and the last team I'd want to face would be the Penguins, and that is without even considering the bullshit officiating we would bound to see in that series.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I for the life of me don't get why Lehner has this attitude confidence in net where Bishop doesn't? Is it the way they play? Bishop always seems so calm in net where Lehner could tend to scramble. I get that Lehner is "sparky" in net, but to say he has the advantage over Bishop to play the Pens? Bishop dominated the AHL this year, he is ready for the show, let him have the Pens since he is playing great]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Well laid out Florida, I too predicted the playoffs, and am too surprised that we are back to being nervous about making it, and not comfortable. But perhaps like you say, we are much better at being underdogs with nothing to lose, instead of, expecting to make the playoffs. Lets hope they can get their act together, and get back to the balls to the wall, devil may care attitude, that got them to this point, and once in, have again nothing to lose, that will put fear into their opponents!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[One the goalie talk, I would like to see Bishop against the habs and either Anderson or Lehner against the Pens. No reason whatsoever to start Bishop Back to back with our goaltending situation unless Lehner is playing in Bingo Fri or Sat night. I also think Lehner has the attitude confidence edge over Bishop playing the Pens. Anderson would be my first pick for Sat night if he is ready.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Id rather have Bishop start both fri and Sat to be honest. Pitt will be a tough tough game for sure, and as much as we are losing, Bishop is actually on quite a roll IMO He has never let in more than 3 goals since coming to Ottawa. I would let him get Crosby and Malkin and see what he can do. Because if our Offense doesn't score more than 3 goals against them, it really doesn't matter who is in nets Then I would start Anderson in Winnipeg in that atmosphere, cause that will pump anyone up.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Your asking quite alot from a goalie who hasnt played in almost 2 months... I understand the severity of our situation but you dont want to re-injure Anderson, Bishop and Lehner are more than capable of handling the duties until we ease in Andy. @ Tookie, Time must fly too fast by you!! Anderson went out after last game Feb 22, which was 31 days ago today. He needs to get into a rhytm in last few games, to be ready for the upcoming playoffs, once we are officially qualified. Bishop starts on Friday , but we might see Anderson start on Saturday vs the Penguins. GO SENS GO !!!!!!!!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Apostle Hope and expectation are not terrible things. I was one that had hope at the start of the season that our young guys would play well and make playoffs, however I will admit I thought we would squeak into them, kind of like Buffalo Capitals are at. Being ahead of Boston for the short stint we were and be that high in the standings for sure is nothing I had hope for at the start of the season or would have even fathomed. I also did not care if we missed playoffs either (start of season) but the hope and expectation was there for us to get there. The way we CAN play I think we have a chance to go deep in playoffs and even do a hail Mary and make it to the finals, balls to the wall give it all you have hockey. The way we have been playing as of late we will be lucky to stay in playoff contention and it will be a quick exit even if we do. (Safe hockey) It is not written yet, if they can get back to the way they were playing, how far we can go is yet to be determined, if not we had a great season of fantastic hockey to watch all year and next year even looks brighter.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ With Ottawa only playing tomorrow, it could also just be a way for Andy to get more action/shots in practice than having to split a crease with Auld I wouldn't be surprised if he starts but I also wouldn't put a whole of stock into this for now]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[SensChirp ‏ @SensChirp Interesting. Craig Anderson at the starter's end of the ice while Bishop and Auld share the other net. Is Andy ready to return? #Sens Personally my guess is that this is more to see how he handles a full practice but if it goes well and he feels okay ....????]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ All great points and I'm not saying that it's black and white at all. Just mostly based on my feeling while watching the team play. Recently there seems to have been a decline in aggressive play and the team looks a bit tighter than they had recently. I didn't see any indications of that in Lehner's games with the exception of his first game or two but then the team seemed to just pin their ears back and play. Recently they've lost a bit of that. Totally agree that it's the players that have changed and not blaming Bishop at all. And yeah, calling up Lehner shouldn't be a solution to scoring problems and I'm not saying it is. The two things are pretty unrelated actually. I just think/thought Lehner would have gotten a few more games recently. I also (separately) think the team was a bit looser in front of Lehner (but again, not drastically different).]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Actually Hax, this isn't a bad scenario. Ottawa is already considered one of the most cap friendly teams going into next year, even after signing EK. We have some new young blood already in the system and a few new guys we expect to see next year up front. If Ottawa is rebuilding, I'd personally like to see them do the back end first type of build. As we don't have any up and coming big name D to take a key role, you'd think BM would consider an offer to Suter, he's the best bang for the buck available. Having a guy like Ryan signed to our team along with EK and our already strong Goalie tandum would be amazing going forward. And expect us to draft at least 1 quality D this year on top of that, the build would look pretty good to me. Not worried just yet about our Sens position, the big game in Washington tonight however, may change that, consider Buffalo won last night. We need a BIG performance against the habs tomorrow, no doubt about it.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Not to argue but... Lehner's Games: Oct 30 vs Tor: Ott win 3-2 outshooting 30-25 Feb 26 vs NYI: Ott win 5-2 outshot 30-24 Feb 28 vs Bos: Ott win 1-0 outshooting 38-32 Mar 2 vs Chi: Ott lose 2-1 outshot 39-26 Mar 4 vs Fla: Ott loses 4-2 outshot 28-25 Summary: he is 3-2 and Ottawa have outscored opponent 12-10 with 3 one goal games. They have also been outshot 143-164 So I don't buy this argument that we play looser in front of Lehner. We still barely score with him in net also, just the same as Bishop. Take out the one game vs NYI and we were outscored 9-7 in 4 games, so not even 2gpg for us I see you points, but really Lehner was told he is spending the yera in AHL I presume, and Murray doesn't want to ruin the plan they have with Lehner. We will ride Bishop out, see what we have in him, he isn't costing us any games. And next year Lehner will have a shot to pull the job from Bishop Finally, if it takes calling up a goalie to spark our offense, then us as Sens fans have a whole lot more to worry about than we think]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I've added Florida because if Washington get above us they could easily pass Florida dropping them to 7th or 8th. The fact that that division is so tight actually works in our favour. Florida's remaining games: Edmonton, NY Islanders, @Montreal, @Minnesota, @Colombus, @Detroit, Winnipeg, @Washington, Carolina On paper that starts off looking relatively easy but then have a 4 game road trip which isn't nice at this time of the year then three divisional games (2 of whom will still be in the playoff mix).]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I've never said that Bishop has played poorly or that he's the reason we haven't won more games. I do however think two things on the subject: 1 - Lehner is equally deserving so I don't get why they're not splitting the games between the two more evenly (unless it has to do with call-up logistics?) 2 - The team (to me) seems to play a little looser in front of Lehner than Bishop at times, so that does actually contribute to them scoring more. Lehner's just a cockier bastard back there so the team seems to feed off that a bit. Not night-and-day or anything and I'm not overly passionate about it, I just think if it were my decision I'd have had Lehner back up a couple of games ago. As for the Friday game, it is huge, but I still don't say it's "must win". If we lose that game the pressure will mount of course but it far from seals our fate. Washington and Buffalo are fairly hot but BOTH would have to pass us for us to miss the playoffs which is not that simple. Hopefully we win Friday anyway just to take a bit of the pressure off the fans. Sure is nice to be talking about "must wins" this time of year though rather than "must lose to get a better lottery pick".]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ yup Rush, I do also see yours and others points, nothing wrong in back to back games, to give Bishop a little break, and give Lehner a reward for his hard work in the minors. For all things good, I do not want to see Auld back in, in any of these games that matter. Snoops, now that you have put it in those numbers, win 4 of the 8, that really has me even more worried... do we really need that much to ensure a spot? Man that is scarry!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Expectation and hope are terrible, terrible things in what they can do to people Considering where we were slated to finish by most of the media and also most fans this season has been an astonishing surprise. The fans with their rose tinted glasses clamped to their faces and their wild predictions of playoff hockey were probably doing so more in hope than expectation, more in dream than in reality, yet here we sit. And now, because of where we sit, we are scared. Swap us with Buffalo at the moment and the majority of fans and the people on here would be happier than they are now. That's because Buffalo are in a situation which is far more win than lose, we are in the reverse. Even if we do remain in a playoff spot the feeling will be that we just scraped in there by the skin of our teeth. But why is that a bad thing? We should rejoice (fail for nail thinking is abhorent to me) that the team exceeded most expectations . We should revel in the ride that this team of creaky veterans and AHL nobodies has given us since October. The foundations for the next few years have been laid by Bryan Murray and Paul MacLean this season. This season has been so good that Alfie himself wants to carry on playing. We have seen the development of fine talent such as Jared Cowen and Colin Greening and the emergence of a genuine, bone-fide superstar in Erik Karlsson, who has the potential to be the best player this franchise has ever seen. We have far more reasons to look forward than we do to look back and we can look forward with hope. But hope is scary, if you hope for something to happen there is always the fear that it might not. Now we are terrified that we are going to let slip our grip on something we probably shouldn't have been able to reach in the first place. In this season where we were meant to have nothing to lose we have something worth holding on to.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Lehner played great with the time he got it, Bishop has been solid too. A team will play differently depending who is behind them in nets, I think Lehner deserves another shot, he's been keeping his chin up in Bingo, and it might be a little boost that helps the Sens get off the snide. I trust the coaches if they decide to keep Bishop in the next couple games then there is a reason, but I would be happy if they decided to plunk Lehner in this weekend. It seems like yesterday he shut out the f**king Bruins for us. Maybe I'm just biased I haven't got to wear my new #Lehnsanity shirt yet. :cP]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hey Snoops, I really think we should be putting the Lehner/Bishop debate to rest, Bishop could not possibly be doing any more to help us win, except play the point on the PP, and score a couple of goals. Lehner will be our future #1 for many many years, but let him mature properly in the minors. Look at what happened to our last star tender when immaturity got the best of him...Emery!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Alcatraz, completetly agree with all you've said. you have every reason to be nervous, especially the way both Wash and Buffalo are playing, and the way we are playing. This game in MTL is huge, we really need Spezz in the lineup, and for the love of god, call someone up that can play top 6 minutes. without Spezz we really on have one line Turris Alfie MM9 And as much as I like to agree that Turris will one day be great, he really has been leaving much to be desired lately. For the minutes this guy plays, he does not have the numbers to support them. Interesting to know how many more points Foligno would have had, if he were playing next to Alfie on that second line? Just sayin]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Not a must win really, but certainly might want those two points down the line so may as well take them. Would love to see Lehner get a game or two in soon. Nothing against Bishop but I think Lehner deserves a couple of starts too. @ Hax, What happened to the competition Murray talked about, in having Lehner vs Bishop ?? I like Bishop's 7 game stint, but Lehner should have had another few games before Anderson returns. The only way we see Lehner play again, would be because Bishop get's injured ! Hope Anderson returns this Saturday, at SBP vs the Penguins . GO SENS GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'm extremely nervous right now. Only 4 points separate us from Washington and Buffalo after Buffalo's win last night. Buffalo is on fire the last few weeks. Miller has returned to form and their players that were underachieving in the early goings of the season have stepped their games up. Hopefully Spezza will be back for Friday's game. We desperately need him right now. The game against the Devils was a clear indication of how valuable Spezz is to our offense. I thought the Michalek-Turris -Alfie line played great but after that, there was no one to rely on offensively. Foligno, Smith, Greening, Klinkhammer, Condra? Just think about how good this team is going to be when we add a few more offensive weapons.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hax kinda have to agree with Spezzerman here, this Fri game against MTL will be vital. We are already gripping the sticks a little too tight, and we were comfortably in 7th, if we go down to 8th the pressure on these kids will be even greater, and I am not sure they can handle it. And we know MTL will relish the chance to hurt the Sens chances, I will in MTL rooting them on, boys time to get back to the 200ft game, with all hands on deck Go Sens Go!!!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Not a must win really, but certainly might want those two points down the line so may as well take them. Would love to see Lehner get a game or two in soon. Nothing against Bishop but I think Lehner deserves a couple of starts too. I disagree - this is a must win. There is a really good chance we don't get any points against Pittsburgh Saturday and if we don't get any points over the weekend we are battling for 8th against two hot teams in Washington and Buffalo. The only thing that makes me feel slightly better is that Buff and Washington have tough games against NYR and Philly respectively this weekend. But, IMO this is absolutely a must win.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Um, if you're going to pull Gonchar off the power play who are you going to add? There's only one Karlsson. Kuba is the only other legit PP guy on our blueline. Gilroy hasn't thrilled me and Phillips is not a PP guy (of course). I'd kind of like to see them develop Cowen into a one-timer guy but it's way too early for that. Hax excellent point, that I am not sure Gilroy is any better than Gonchar, which again I question why we ever got him at all. But I really love when Alfie is at the point on the PP, he is a PP QB with some vision]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I think you misunderstood. Silfverberg was named alternate captain of Sweden's world championship team. You have the right idea though. They probably did it in hopes that he'd stay in Sweden for just a little bit longer. Wasn't that the whole point? That he's "choosing" between the Worlds and NHL playoffs? What's to misunderstand? Of course, it's a bit of a moot point since he's already stated that he'd come to the NHL with no hesitation. I guess I'm the one who misunderstood. I assumed that you thought that he was promised an 'A' with the Sens when you said, "I'd assume they named Silfverberg an alternate captain to help convince him to come." Doesn't matter anymore.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ So if Silverberg's in the Semi-finals.. when exactly does the SEL playoff season end? It would have to be mid to late April.. which may be probably too late for the Sens? Is Mika's season over by April 1st? and what will they do with him? Bingo? if silfverberg is eliminated in the semis, he can be here by april 1st at the earliest. zibanejad cant until the 7th. so if either join it would basically be just for playoffs. correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure silfverberg has already burned off a year from his ELC this year by playing the season in SEL, so we have no reason to think of not bringing him over (if he is eliminated) because in an interview just before the playoffs he said he hasnt heard anything from the Sens organization but is open to coming over this year. as for zibanejad, im not really a fan of burning a year for him to play maybe just a couple of playoff games.]]></description>

Some of the penalties were terrible, but majority of the calls were drawn because the guys were skating. When the guys stand around and pass it around the perimeter, it's very predictable and easy to defend against. Why not hold the puck a bit longer and skate with it. We need guys to weave inside the zone and draw some guys to them, whether they have the puck or not. The PP unit is also holding onto the puck, while stationary, far too long. When our PP was hot, it seemed like the guys knew what they'd be doing with the puck before they even had it on their stick. It's a confidence thing. How many missed passes have we seen? Start with a mobile PP, keep crashing the net, keep shooting and hitting the net. The confidence will grow from there.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Condra is definitely in a bad funk, but he is still only in his first full season in the NHL, I sense the frustration, but he is being crucifide on here, and not sure he is fully deserving of it Even Kelly did not get the ice time he is getting at the same time in their careers. The effort and givashit is all there, he is even getting his chances, problem is he is not finishing. Of more concern for me is the guy who we signed to a 2 year 2 mil contract, that is supposed to be a scorer, and is not even able to muster any chances at all... Butler. Really am confused what has happened to him, but he seems to be satisfied where he is at. He had better turn up the giveashit meter or he will be the next Bochenski. And a few have mentioned it, but our PP, is brutal! We do better 5 on 5 than with the PP, way to plain vanilla, with no creativity, and for the love of god, get Neil (love what he brings BTW)and Gonshit... I mean Gonchar off, the PP, they are helping kill the PP as opposed to helping score.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It's not much easier on the UFA front for Murray. Winchester and Konopka are both cheap and useful role players that would be nice to keep. Same with Carkner in terms of having a guy that nobody in the NHL wants to fight. But is there room for any of those guys? I doubt it, sadly.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Agreed - this time of year is always a bit odd. Playoff "lock" teams often let their feet off the gas, teams that are out seem to go on a "what the hell" run and win some games etc. I'm not worried - helps to have a coach we can all trust to know what he's doing. (Sorry Cory)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I have a theory about ottawa's play as of late. Right around now is the time were playoff bound teams will start to modify their game to the playoff type. I think Coach Maclean has started that with Ottawa now. The games that I see, ottawa is trying out there, but the goals are not there yet. Offence starts to occur when all the players have full confidence in the system. I say just give it a little more time, and Ottawa will start up again. Add to all of this that other playoff teams are doing the same, plus a bunch of teams are playing desperate hockey. Id be really concerned if we were getting blown away like earlier in the year, or doing our old give 5, get 6 goals routine.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[While Spezza has had a very good yr let's not get carried away with the importance of Spezza to his team. yes he is the leading scorer & he's important but they only lost one to nothing last night. If anybody could have scored it could have easily gone the other way. We have also seen plenty of games this yr when Spezza has not done all that much for the Sens to win games as well. Yes, they could have used them but there is no guarantee when he is in the line up that they will win either, but he certainly helps. N.J. is a very defensive team, they block a lot of pucks & Ottawa needed more jam in front of the net, more second shots but didn't get them. Not sure what it is with this team & the malais they get into from time to time. you can really tell the difference when they are flying & when they just can't get anything going & they either have no puck luck or the refs are terrible. Hard to understand but I guess that's what you get with a young team. Hopefully, a couple of the guys coming for next yr will be able to help with scoring.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[One thing for sure that you can see on Capgeek: The Sens have PLENTY of cap space to make one big signing this summer if the right opportunity comes along. Even if we pay through the nose for Karlsson. Imagine being able to go to Suter's agent and ask if Ryan would like to be paired with Erik Freaking Karlsson for the next 4-5 years? After next year we get plenty of more cap room as Gonchar and Alfie's contracts drop off (and Neil for that matter). So we can either have money to resign some younger guys when the time comes or go out and sign/trade for another big gun. Murray really has done a great job getting the house in order.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[LOL Funny stuff Condra is Garbage because : He doesn't hit He can't receive a pass He often mishandles the puck He can't hit the net He doesn't go to the front of the net He has no hands (Even Chris Neil dekes players once in awhile) He doesn't fight Condra is good because: He is an efficient penalty killer Edit: I forgot skating.. he's mediocre at best, its not like defenceman are scared of losing a footrace to him]]></description>
