			<description><![CDATA[Here is one of the reasons I want to gouge my own eyes out living within the Leafs' territory. The Toronto Sun headline today: "Babble of Ontario: After 7 games of them crying about the refs, Rangers finally put Sens out of their misery". I think it is the first time the Sens made the front page of that piece of shit newspaper. While the hockey world praises the Sens' accomplishment, this T.O. rag says they've been put out of their misery. I might just have to move back to the Valley.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[What a season... Hurts like hell at the moment, especially watching what could have been Alfie's last game. The boys gave it their all, and just got stoned by a unbelievable goalie. Spezza got a lot of undeserved criticism in my opinion. He's had to face the Rangers top defensive unit, along with a Rangers forward group that we're very capable of playing two-way hockey, all this with Milo, who he never really gelled with (I know Milo got 35 goals this year, mostly with Spezza as his center). As for Michalek, its hard to read all the flak he is getting. He did score 35 goals, was responsible defensively and was finally healthy all year long. To say he should be traded, is definitely a stretch, considering the fact he'd be the best player involved in any deal we would make. Anywho, this was my first time posting on here, I've been reading this site for a couple years now, a lot of knowledgeable people and very passionate fans! Go Sens Go (next year!)

			<description><![CDATA[People are going to hate this but Spezza was busy passing the puck to the Rangers more often than to his own teammates. I'm sorry but he was BRUTAL. Turnover after turnover. Apart from the goal off the perfect pass from Stone he was a lost cause. I hope it was no sleep cuz of the new born(as some people suggest) or maybe he had an ingrown toenail - we always seem to make excuses for him. I don't see him as a leader - he can't be the number one guy. If Alfie retires this guy will be a trainwreck. Where there was smoke there was fire the last 2 summers - i'm sure managaement was looking to trade him - they couldn't get what they felt was just value. Not his no trade has locked in - Will they approach him. I think for the better of this team and especially after an 80 point season the SENS should look at seeing if he would wave his no trade clause. I would approach the Oilers and offer Spezza for The first overall pick and Magnus Paajarvi. There can be some extra bodies thrown in on both sides if need be. We would be extremely young but very fast and exciting minus the TURNOVERS(using my DR EVIL VOICE). Michalek-Turris -Yakupov Paajarvi-Zibane jad-Silfverberg Alfie-DaCosta-S tone Greening-Smith- Neil Alfie plays one more year or not up to him. Then following year Noesen invades the lineup - he's a STUD! You wanted a scenario instead of just a trade Spezza well there you go. With money saved you could add Prise and Suter as well. Thanks for the season SENS!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[unbelievable, just unbelievable. in a year when spezza scores 84 points, has MM9 on wing to score 35 goals and also in a year where spezza plays one of the main roles in helping this team make the post-season, people here are saying trade spezza? right. when ottawa fares just as good or better than some other teams in the post season with what some might say better top line centreman (crosby, malkin, staal, datsyuk, zetterberg, thornton, couture, toews, h.sedin, kesler, bergeron, kerjci, seguin)....peop le want to trade ottawa's own top line centreman? so i assume all those teams should trade all their centremen too? alot of the fans on this forum, i am noticing are just stupid and have a hard time appreciating what this team actually accomplished this year and are still asking for blowing the team up. People here are just ridiculous, asking to trade Cowen? the guy with the most hits in that series, AND HE IS ONLY 20 YRS OLD? IT WAS COWEN'S GAME 2 OT SHOT THAT GAVE OTTAWA THE CHANCE TO BRING NYR TO THE BRINK IN THE FIRST PLACE. IT WAS MILAN MICHALEK'S GAME 4 goal WHEN 2-0 DOWN THAT GAVE OTTAWA THE SECOND LIFE. IT WAS SPEZZA'S 2 GOALS IN NYC THAT SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF THE RANGERS. here is what really needs to be done, the senators need to trade fan-bases, because if this is the kind of fans we have here who ask to trade their top centreman after the kind of performance we got from this team, then its a shame, its a shame, real real shame. JUST ASK TEAMS LIKE THE LEAFS. THEY WOULD AGREE TO DO ANYTHING, LITERALLY ANYTHING IF WE EVEN DANGLED SPEZZA TO THEM. THATS HOW VALUABLE HE IS. THE GUY IS THE SENS FRANCHISE AFTER ALFIE. WITHOUT HIM, THIS TEAM GOES DOWN. WE GAVE THE RANGERS EVERYTHING and LETS NOT FORGET, TO A MAN EVERYONE IN THE HOCKEY WORLD KNOWS THAT THE BETTER TEAM (OTT) LOST TO THE BETTER GOALTENDER.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Man, I have to agree. I can't take his give aways anymore... and anyone who defends Spezza was not watching the same game(s). He was a 7th player for the Rangers most games. He scored one legit goal in 7 games. Let's see if edmonton would anti-up for our first and Spezza for their first, Gagne and one of their top end prospects M.-P. or Linus Omark ? Your an idiot. I watched the same game, and he was trying to make something happen against a tight checking team. You obviously have never played the game. Call it give aways, sure. be negative- your perogative. Give your head a shake!!! We are not giving away an 84 point (point a game) #1 center. It was all Spezza in game 5 if you don't recall. His overall career playoff performance is almost a point per game. Oh, and btw, any give away Spezza made last night, did not count against us. He also lead our team in points with 5pts during this playoff series. KJ Couldn't have said it better KJ...everyone just chill. Spezza is ours and any team would be lucky to have him on their top unit. Bring on training camp!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I originally say don't move Bishop, but if he and our first gets us into say the top 5 picks and there is someone available that is head and shoulders above anyone else in our target position then so be it, go nuts...I am just not certain that having Lehner backup Anderson is the best move, so who would our backup be? I'm also still not certain why everyone is so convinced that a d is our main target.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Lol you observations coincide with eliteprospects. com's scouting report on him. So you must be seeing the right things from. I just think that if not Ceci, I think this guy would be a safe pick. In my honest opinion, he is 110% what the Sens need. A good, steady, all rounded guy who is going to be a staple for years and years in the NHL [that's what I see from him]. Olli is having a fantastic post-season right now which may see his stock rise, but it is still quite possible that he sticks around 15-20 which is where he is projected. If the Sens do draft Olli, we are all in for a real treat. He is playing his first year of OHL hockey and in my opinion is closer to the NHL than many think.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It's too early to try to "finish" the rebuild this summer. But if we decided we wanted to try and do that (let's say for sake of argument that Alfie comes back for one last shot and we want to give it to him): Lock up Karlsson for 100 years at $6M. Sign Parise for $8M, sign Suter for $6M. Parise ($8.000m) / Spezza ($7.000m) / Alfredsson ($4.875m) Michalek ($4.333m) / Turris ($1.400m) / Silfverberg ($0.900m) Foligno ($1.500m) / Zibanejad ($1.775m) / Neil ($2.000m) Greening ($0.817m) / Smith ($0.700m) / Condra ($0.625m) O'Brien ($1.000m) Butler ($1.050m) Suter ($6.000m) / Karlsson ($6.000m) Cowen ($1.265m) / Gonchar ($5.500m) Phillips ($3.083m) / Borowiecki ($0.610m) Carkner ($0.750m) Anderson ($3.188m) Bishop ($0.650m) SALARY CAP: $64,300,000; CAP PAYROLL: $63,020,833; BONUSES: $1,275,000 CAP SPACE (23-man roster): $1,279,167 Now that's even with over-paying somewhat for the top guys - can probably be done cheaper even.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[What I mean by Olli of not being "big" doesn't have to do with his physical size. He is most certainly a big young man. What I mean from him not being big, is he doesn't play "big". He isn't an overly physical, punishing defenceman, but rather likes to use good positioning and his stick when going up against opposing forwards. Just to clear that up.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Trading Bishop or Lehner is pretty much on the table I think. The grabbed Bishop expressly because they know he has value and to put some pressure on Lehner. I would expect that they'd be willing to part with one or the other if the price was right (I hope they keep Lehner - I just think he has much more upside). Trading Bishop to be able to draft a potential stud defenceman would be smart IMO.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I live in London and watch the Knights on a regular basis. Olli Maatta is as safe of a young defenceman as you can draft. He not "big", but is not small nor gets pushed around either. Let me tell you, that there are very few defencemen I've seen who have the poise, patience, and confidence that Olli has. He makes everything look so easy and effortless. He makes very few mistakes and keeps his head up. A safe, high reward kid who is every coaches dream. The lack of scoring doesn't do justice to his offensive ability. He can quarterback the powerplay, and dish the puck effectively. The reason why I think his numbers aren't as prolific as the other draft eligible defencemen is because this is his very first season playing North American hockey. What I love about Olli is that HE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT. He is solid, all rounded, and smart. I think with another year here in London his numbers will be off the charts. He is having a fantastic playoffs at the moment for us and has put up points. He's shown signs of having an underrated booming shot as well. Don't get the wrong impression from me because I'm from London and I sound like a homer lol. I'm just giving you my honest opinion of the kid. He is a great, all rounded young defenceman who plays in all situations, projects to be an excellent NHL defenceman, and the fans here absolutely love him. What I like about him is his poise. He is a good, SAFE pick. He isn't overly physical, but likes to use his positioning instead to break up offensive chances a la Lidstrom. If I were to think of someone to compare him to, think along the lines of Mark Streit or a more offensive Zbynek Michalek]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[As of April 9th -- NHL Central Scouting has Cody Ceci ranked 6th in North American skaters... That doesn't take into account the European Skaters.. and how many will go above the top 5... And Tookie.. trading Cowen is not on the agenda... Michalek will stay until his contract is up... Question is.. would they trade Bishop to move up in the draft?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This trade Spezza crap AGAIN is really beginning to piss me off. The two things the Rangers did was to shutdown both Karlsson & Spezza to stop the Sens offense.. and they did that very well.. They basically got no room... The only knock I have on Spezza for this series is his lack of shooting the puck instead of passing.. but then again, the Rangers D did not give a lot of shooting lanes. Instead of trying to trade the #1 centre.. point a game player in the regular season (4th overall if I believe) and nearly point a game in the playoffs overall... how about we figure how to get him help.... I agree with whoever said it.. but Chirp... please delete any trade Spezza posts.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Realistically based on Scout rankings, I can see the Sens drafting Olli maatta. He is a pretty big guy; 6"2 200 pounds. London knights have a history of producing amazing prospects. Offensively he had a decent season, but his numbers are awesome currently in the playoffs.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[^ Idontknowanythi ng I agree Spezz needs help on the wing. He needs a consistent legit threat who, even when Spezz himself has an off game from carrying the team the whole time, can bring him up. I just don't see that in Michalek. Hopefully Big Z can give us more than Milo did. 35 goals was nice, but they seemed to have come in bunches. One night Milo's there, the next week you don't even notice him. i think we all want Ceci but his stock has skyrocketed and I don't see him at 15. To be honest, I really don't want to see another puck-moving offensive defenceman drafted [although I wouldn't be bummed]. What we need is a big, steady, two-way, SAFE defenceman who is good in the d-zone and can play GOOD OVERALL D. Someone else who can add what Cowen is projected to bring. That is the Sens' number one biggest problem and would like to see someone like that drafted. Unfortunately, there seem to be very few of these. A lot of the D are O-guys.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I don't think the sens need a Weber/Suter style defenceman. I think Cowen can turn out to be an all round defencemen. Along with his physical and defensive plays, Cowen actually has an offensive upside. I do expect to see Cowen quarterbacking the powerplay if Kuba does not get resigned. You guys should remember there was a time when Kuba was injured early in the season, and Cowen was playing big minutes with Karlsson and totally thrived. He actually had a four point night against the Penguins in one game.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I'd love to see BM try for Ceci and I think he's one of those character guy they'd be interested in, but the scouts say he's going within the top 10 now if I remember right. Hard to say though, BM could make a move to get a better pick, if they feel they need it, but if they do that is Ceci the guy they are after? We do have an abundance of forwards in our depth chart, more than they probably expected would excel at the level they have this year. Odds are not all of them will get a spot in the near future. So the question is, do they start using those players they feel may be the odd man out for future draft picks, or try trading picks those players and future picks for current players who have shown something?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Its funny how NOW Sens fans are saying the #1 team in the East Rangers, but before it was the "overachieving Rangers", the "dont deserve to be 1st Rangers", the "we would rather play the Rangers cuz we beat the in reg season"...haha Double standard much. You can blame alot of things for Ottawa's loss but for me it was our top players (Karlsson, MM9) not producing, plain and simple. Great season, horrible playoff performances. The draft will be to get better depth at D and possibly another Goalie, as for UFA, you HAVE to get Spezza some help on the wing...HUGE MUST!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Guys, stop crapping on our guys, and start giving some credit to the Rangers. The NYR did not falter, and our guys are young and made a couple mistakes. So what. But that last 10 min of the 3rd was some of the most dominiant and best hockey I have ever seen! They gave it everything they could, and before anyone says, why didn't they play that way all game, consider how much energy was expended in opening it up, and the risks involved, as well as strategies implemented by the coaches earlier in the game. No Biggie. Dissappointing- sure. But, what a Season!! I am so excited for the next 5 years at least, and as fan I am so excited to be back in contention!!! KJ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Ok Chirp, start taking names of all the posters who mention trading Spezza and remove them. I know that sounds harsh, but short of giving them a timeout on the stairs for idiocy, I don't know what else to do. Spezza isn't the problem. I'm done defending him, because it's not needed. We have some area's we are building on, but I can assure you that any team in the NHL would gladly take Spezza if he was ever offered and that's saying something. Now I don't mind talking trade scenarios or free agent signings, it's fun and part of the sport. If you have ideas or thoughts, make them realistic and stop pissing people off. Sorry, been a busy day and that just irked me!!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It seemed only a short time ago I was picking up my season tickets. Now it's all over, way too soon. So proud of this team this season. Sure there were ups & downs but we all knew that going into the season. In our wildest dreams, at the beginning of the season, we would not have seen this young team take the # 1 seed in the East to the final seconds of a game 7 in the 1st round of the playoffs. I'm disappointed but it's not the same as the disappointment & frustration of season's past. This team was expected to be nothing, at the bottom of the league, yet they proved a lot of people wrong. They have a true comradarie (sp?). They play hard. There is a nice mixture of skill & toughness on this team that is needed for playoff hockey. They will get better. As McLean said, a little bit better every game. They still have learning to do but they have learned alot the last 7 games, which will only serve to help them in the future. Kuba is gone. This is still a re-build & I don't believe Murray will sign a 35 yr old defenseman. Do you think, if he becomes a free agent, that the Sens would stand a chance at getting someone like Suter & would Melnyk spend to the cap after how close this team came to getting into the 2nd round of the playoffs? Do they stand a chance at Parise? With the rumours of financial trouble in NJ can they afford to sign him? I don't think the Sens will pick 15th. I think Murray is going to use some of the excess forwards the Sens have to move up in the draft. There is about 2 - 3 more young players coming into the lineup next season so they need to unload some. I really think that Konopka is re-signed. We can't make light of the great work he did during this playoff series. He is a great figure in the 'room' & it won't cost them much. Marc Staal had a very good series. John Muckler you were an idiot. Go Nashville. Go Fisher.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ That was one goal. Which is 1 more than Gaborik and 1 less than Richards Point? Both teams top end talent were marginalized, and it came down to secondary scoring. Our secondary scoring all year has come from the point. The rangers got two goals last night from d-men. We needed to find a way to score from other sources..we didn't Stop blaming Michalek-Spezza etc.. TEam effort, and we missed out by 1 goal. Great game, great series, great season Actually Gaborik had 1 as well. I'm not going to sit here and compare Michalek to the Rangers and say "oh, well they weren't that good too". That's bullshit. Anyone with eyes can see that Michalek wasn't good enough, and wasn't the player we needed him to be. He took a momentum killing penalty in game 6, and despite many chances in game 7, couldn't bury one. I'm not discounting the Sens' effort as a team. I'm just saying that for ME, Milo was a huge disappointment. He had one goal and one assist in the entire playoffs, and for a guy who is playing on the first line besides one of the best players in the league, gets tons of icetime and is heavily counted on by Paul Maclean, that is not good enough. And you know what, I'm sure if you had the chance to ask him, he'd say the same thing. /rant.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[i think people are having a hard time understanding here is that the sens loss has nothing to do with the offensive skill of the team. it has to with a simple case of bonehead defensive decisions by a only a couple of players. Cowen you can excuse right away because he is a first year rookie and even at that he has been simply amazing for the sens and is the most underrated prospect on the sens system...noone talks about him, but his minutes are premium for the sens already. big guy, skates, hits he is a gold pick and a steal at 10th overall. have a much harder time excusing spezza and foligno. Spezza was lazy on the backcheck on Girardi and thats disgusting because Girardi is not a skating guy, he is a shot blocking tank. Spezza is not a rookie so clearly there is just no excuse. but he shouldnt be traded for that, he should just be ripped into by the coach. ditto for foligno on the staal goal and also the richards goal in Game 1. Foligno should know better, he has been around the team long enough to know. in the end, the above just highlights how far this team has come from a 30th overall prediction just 8 months ago. because those are small minor mistakes against a level of compete and no-quit shown by this team unlike never before. this is a sens team that people are having a hard time not rooting for. people are actually enjoying rooting for the sens. when was the last sens team that garnered that kind of attention? the loss actually feels like a genuine stepping stone. so people need to cut the spezza trade bullshit. he isnt going anywhere.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Some of you will know that I am as hard on Spezza as anyone (ask Tookie), but to suggest that we should trade him is ludricous. He is a legitamate number 1 center, and we have seen what he can do if provided with legitimate number 1 wingers (Heatley and Alfredsson). Unfortunately, this year we saw what he can to without top-line wingers...and he still had 84 points...yeah, we should trade him...hardly. As a fan I reserve the right to harp on his mistakes, but, at the same time, I want him on my team any day.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The thing that frustrates me the most is that the best team really did lose. I don't think the Sens are a better team than the New York Rangers, but I think they WERE the better team throughout the whole series. The difference really was the Sens not taking advantage of a 3-2 series lead and the chance of wrapping it up at home. That was their game to win, and they lost it. They played a decent game Seven, but the series loss can be reverted back to game 6 when the team imploded by taking those stupid penalties, precipitated by Milan Michalek. Rangers feasted on the Sens' mistakes and did a great job at it. The biggest let down for me in the playoffs was Michalek. He was depended upon to score, and didn't.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[wow... seriously trade spezza? um last i checked pittsburgh with all its top line talent was getting scored on at will by the philadelphia flyers with not much to show for themselves. how about that game 6 beatdown to make a statement by the flyers. the solution for this team can't be simpler: just play the system Maclean coaches for a full 60 minutes and play it true and honest and good things will happen. All spezza needs to do is shoot the puck more. I think the sens really took the ranger's shot blocking way too seriously in this series and started passing the puck way too much. The fix is simple and easy: Shoot shamelessly, relentlessly, unapologeticall y and fearlessly and SHOOT ACCURATELY. AND SHOOT HARD. Ottawa needs a Johnny Boychuk kind of shooter on the back end who shoots hard and loves to shoot. And tell foligno to stop being a bonehead at the wrong times. if foligno doesnt make that bonehead neutral zone play in game 7, all of us are probably cheering to make spezza mayor right now. i think next season, with silfverberg, zibanejad and stone available, it should be easier and simpler line combos. I expect Michalek to be put with turris because they have natural chemistry. Foligno is a third liner whose ice time needs to be limited to prevent him from letting his bad habits cost the team, otherwise he is a valuable cog on the team.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I think getting Jordan Staal would be easier. No thanks for Semin and Penner. We have plenty of offense coming in. But I would try to make a 3 teams trade that would imply to get rid of Spezza to replace him for Jordan Staal. Carolina will never let Eric go. The Pens have to decide to keep two of the top 3 centers, they will not be able to afford it. Jordan can easily replace Spezza and he is a complete player.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Real sad that we won't be seeing anymore Sens hockey! The Playoffs REALLY aren't the same when your team isn't in it. I don't know how Leafs fans do it every year to be honest with you. Kuba: revelation year- but I can't help but think that maybe it was Karl that "made him look better than he actually is". To be honest, I would really like to see someone else on the blueline who is more of a solid, well rounded defenceman, and one who knows how to clear the damn puck. I wouldn't mind I guess if he resigned for dirt cheap, but if not, honestly let him walk. Time to move on from him. Parise- No. This is still a rebuild. There is nothing wrong with our offence. They answered the question a year ago as to where the goals would come from. Mac has done an excellent job fixing this. Michalek- Lord knows how impressed I was during the regular season with him. But he is the most inconsistent player on the roster. He did score 35, don't get me wrong. But at least 5 of those were empty net goals, including that own goal from Clarke McArthur [see what I did there :) ] I don't think we should trade him, because I don't think Murray will. But I do think that the first line isn't quite there yet. Milo just doesn't do enough. Greening- a player with untapped potential. I honestly think he can be a 20 goal scorer. He is a rookie, and will be even better next season. I liked what he did this year. Guys who should walk: Winch [successfully replaced by Obrien, good to see our former 1st round pick finally materialize], Regin [unfortunately] , Konopka, Gilroy. I am a fan of Matt Carkner and would like to see him back, even if it's as our 7th D. Targets: Suter, Carle, Wideman. These guys, especially the first two, can add a great deal of stability on the blueline, because God knows we need it. BoroCop is expected to make a push for a spot, too. Bottom line is this team is going to be even better next season.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I think if we are to be serious contenders Smith would be the ideal 4th line CENTER - leading the energy line. We had 2 energy lines who couldn't score even if you set the puck up on a tee with no goalie in nets. Help is on its way. Thats why at the trade deadline I was saying to get Brassard. it would've been Spezza Brassard Turris Smith down the middle - flip-flop Turris-Brassard if you want (who cares). Guaranteed we'd still be playing.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[First of all I would like to say thank you sens for a great season. My expectations were blown away. I'm really excited for next year. Silfverberg had shown some great speed and amazing puck handling skills for the few shifts that he had. Mark stone was pretty brilliant in his first NHL game and M Borowiecki look pretty solidtoo. How about some of our up and coming prospect: Shane Prince, Stefan Noesen, Jean-Gabriel Pageau, Matt Puempel, A Petersson. In addition, look at the the kids that have been playing all playing for now Turris, Karlson, Cowan, Smith and Greening have been fantastic for us this season. Guys and girls I think we have a lot to celebrate and get excited about.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Great year. Enjoyed being involved following the Sens on TV attending some great games and through the roller coaster of the emotions being posted in this comment section. We are obviously still in a re-build. I am keeping my expectations low for next year. We definitely had an opportunity this year on how the playoffs were shaping up but I am keeping my expectations in perspective. It will be tough again next year to make it in but the year after when the prospects start maturing my expectations will start to rise. I guess it all depends what is done over the summer if we luck into some other possibilities but with our current roster and prospects we are still a bit away...but MacLean's leadership (as we have seen this year) anything is possible!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[also want to add that Michalek was great for the sens too. with a great goal in Game 4 to get the crowd crazy. he had some serious jump in Game 7 and was everywhere with some amazing chances. Lundqvist really was just too good. I think he is paying some serious dividends for the sens and will keep paying off. The only two players I have a gripe with this series is Foligno and Kuba. and yes I have an issue with Maclean sitting Stone for the last two games.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[my thoughts on the game and series: rangers primary purpose in all games was to prevent the senators from scoring, thats their system. the senators primary purpose - to score. the rangers won by outwaiting ottawa to the first mistake. rangers shot blocking got to ottawa's head near the end of the series. you could see ottawa make more passing plays on occasions where a hard shot at the net was obviously available. multiple examples of this last night. second goal was the result of a ottawa fancy passing play gone bad. Karlsson got his noggin knocked in a fancy passing play too. i think sens need to replace Kuba with a hard shooting d-man. excited to see guys like Wiercioch, Borocop and Gryba and eventually Ben Blood to see what they can bring different. and yes I also agree that Kuba should not be resigned. Moving onto players. I thought Spezza had just an ok series. Both team's superstars were so-so. He probably still gets ripped for his giveaways and turnovers, and deservedly so because in the end they cost us. I think he just needs to play to his better strengths and shooting hard is one of them. Gonchar was a good surprise and so was Phillips. Really impressed by the two vets on the back end. Cowen i think was beastmode with only one stupid error which cost the staal goal. The rest of the group was great. ABSOLUTELY LOVED Anderson's play too. Lastly I want to get to Nick Foligno. Nick has a lot of positives in his play. He battles hard, but I as a fan have lost the patience for his momentum destroying anti-heroics, where he makes bad turnovers or takes stupid penalties. By my count, foligno's bonehead moves cost us three goals. Game 1 turnover behind the net-goal. Game 6 bonehead penalty-goal. Game-7 bonehead move in neutral zone-momentum destroying goal. I think Nick deserves to be on the team, but he defintiely is not deserving of a 2nd line role with that kind of bonehead play.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Reading all the comments about our current roster, who's playing what positions and what we need in our top 6. Everyone needs to remain calm. We have talented players coming through our system, this year was an unexpected turn of events, so you can't look at the product we had on the ice as our be all end all. Sure, Greening was on the top line, but we didn't have anyone else to position in that slot with Spezza and Michalek. Maybe Butler, but even then it's a toss up. And we all know BM wanted Silfverberg to be here this year, if he was he most likely would have filled it. Next year we'll have Silf, possibly Stone and Zibby with a few ups and downs between the big club and bingo. That's an addition of 3 players to our current roster, not including any possible free agent signings or draft trades that BM could consider worthy as part of the rebuild. And we'll be in the same situation we were in this year, when it comes to expectations. Mind you, the powers that be will no doubt slot us a little higher because of what we accomplished this year. All in all, it's a rebuild and I'm just looking forward to see what D Ottawa selects with it's 1st overall. Or will BM make a move of sorts to climb the draft and go for someone a little higher up.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Smith still has a year left on his 1 way deal. He aint going nowhere and to be honest, his numbers are damn good for a 3rd line centre! Since when was 26 points damn good for a 3rd line center tookie???? 26 points on our third line with a lot of rotation/player s that at the start of the season were considered fairly large question marks isn't bad. I would say in general 90 points 1st line is good, 60-70 second line is good anymore is a bonus, 30ish for a third line is pretty solid. I am also sorta torn on Smith...glad we have another season to evaluate him because I suspect 80%(total guess without much research just going by memory)of his points came in the first half.]]></description>

Smith put up most of those numbers at the beginning of the season. He was no where to be found in 2012. I'd prefer us fill the 3rd line center spot in free agency. Chris Kelly anyone??

			<description><![CDATA[It was a wonderful season, especially in comparison to the previous year, where expectations were too high, and too many were along for the free ride, and no one seemed to care. The base we have now is extremely solid, with many positives. But to reflect, we do have a couple of glaring problems. Kuba, for all of his redemption during the year, proved to be too slow, too soft, and in a physcal 7 game playoff, proved that it was Karlsson carrying him all year, and not the other way around. Put anyone with a potentil Norris candidate and they will be made to look better. Thanks for you time here Mr. Kuba, time to move and good riddens. Only regret, should have been him moved at the deadline for Gilroy and not Lee, still feel that Lee could have been better than both Kuba or Gilroy. Bye Bye Gilroy, bad trade, but compared to all the good ones we have made is very minor. Gonchar, did redeem himself somewhat during he playoffs, and although pricey at 6 mil, not much we can do, but hope he has one more good year. Spezza needs some help, he cannot do it alone, MM9 did not have a great playoff, and we do not have enough top 6 to spread out. Greening is in his first year, but is not creative enough to play top 6, and we kept throwing anyone in there in hopes Spezza can carry them, there is only so much one man can do. So we need some on the top 6, we have about 11 solid players to play on the bottom 6, with more to come. So we will probably move a few before the draft to help us move up. Secondly, we need one D-man who likes to take a hit to make a play, Other than that, I say the future is ours! I would like to wager anyone (Tooks) that we WILL make the playoffs next year... Loser changes there name to "I dont know anything about hockey" Anyone?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I dont think we should resign Kuba, Foligno, Konopka, Regin, Daugavins, Filatov, Lessard, McKenna, Parrish. I do think we should resign Carkner, O'Brien, Da Costa*, Gryba*, Locke*, Schira*, Cannone*. *2 way deals. I'd like to see us hang on to Konopka. He doesn't even have to play very often. He's just a great team guy and the players love him. He's worked his ass off and I think he deserves to stick around. There's no chance we'll be spending to the cap next season so it wouldn't hurt to keep him around as an extra. I'm on the fence with Foligno. Some games he's great and other nights he's just damn terrible. If we didn't have so many prospects on their way then I'd say keep Foligno, but he may be expendable. The biggest disappointment to me has to be Zack Smith. He got off to such a promising start, and was absolutely invisible in the second half of the season and in the playoffs. Not sure he has a guaranteed roster spot going into next season.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[zap said: rangers sweep sens. actual fact: went to game 7 where a sens could of taken it just as much as rangers. very close tight fought series. zap said: michalek is a piece of shit. actual fact: michalek is a +3 player (highest on the team), has 3rd on team with most shot on goal, tied in points with alfie, and more points than karlsson. I am not implying that Michalek was a shining star (the rangers defense/goalten ding shut down pretty much everyone of our players), but by his logic if we trade every player that did worse than michalek & foligno...who are we left with? spezza??? someone has been playing too much nhl 12 gm mode if he wants a roster of: Sedin/crosby/pe rry ovechkin/stamko s/nash Lucic/malkin/ka ne it's called a salary cap chump...on a team who has been rebuilding for 1 year. they did pretty damn good. you might want to step down a rung on your "expert" ladder, predicting that rangers sweep sens is being as much of an expert than the tsn crew... good season sens, you have me excited for the next. Silfverberg looked A LOT BETTER in his second game than he did in his first game. lots of prospects looking promising :D]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I dont think we should resign Kuba, Foligno, Konopka, Regin, Daugavins, Filatov, Lessard, McKenna, Parrish, Gilroy, Winchester, Auld. I do think we should resign Karlsson, Carkner, O'Brien, Da Costa*, Gryba*, Locke*, Schira*, Cannone*, Klinkhammer*. I also strongly recommend that we go after a top tier UFA, Parise, Semin, Suter. *2 way deals.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Thanks for the comments and your vote Flo, and I completely agree that Tooks maned up and did change his name, if we made the playoffs, as per the wager. The wager was, however, to change the name for the next year, but as many have stated, Tooks did not cower, or try to hid, or even worse, come on here as someone else, and owned up to it. So if most the posters agree, I am ok with him changing his name back to the infamous Tookie,at the START of new season... Tooks is this a fair compromise?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I agree with you for the most part. I don't think that there's another defenseman in the league that opposing teams have to "gameplan" around as much as Karlsson, and I don't think there's another defenseman in the league that means more to their teams success than Karlsson, but I think Weber wins it this year for demonstrating the best all-round ability in the position. I don't think Karlsson wins it this year, but he will win multiple Norris' over the course of his career.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Ok so back to Karlsson for Norris trophy debate I think the clip they showed last night on CBC shows exactly who the best dman in the game is. Torts has one game plan for when Karlsson is on the ice, and a complete other one for the rest of the team. It didn't matter if Spezza Alfie Smith Konopka was on the ice, he played a specific style. But what he did do was: When Karlsson on ice: hang back at centre, have all 5 guys in the neutral zone waiting When any other dman on the ice: forecheck, forecheck, forechceck I honestly can't think of a team doing that to another single player before. thats how much Karlsson impacts the game. heads and shoulders the best dman in the game.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[oh! and as much as it sucks being eliminated from the playoffs, at least we are left with a decent draft pick. There should be a couple pretty good defensemen left at the 15th pick this year. Hopefully Murray can move up a couple spots. Two things this team needs are a punishing defenseman that can play at both ends of the rink and a strong skating power forward.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Question: Does ANYONE think that we should resign Kuba? Anyone?! I hope not. The best thing about looking forward to next season is knowing that Kuba will not be on this team. I also thought Gonchar was our good in this series, but Phillips looked like his old self. Really proud of the way the Big Rig played in the second half of the season and in the playoffs. I thought Karlsson played decent in the 7 games, but he has a lot to learn about playoff hockey and keeping things simple at times. So it's pretty obvious that Karlsson, Cowen, Gonchar, and Phillips will all be back next season, and I think we can pencil in Borowiecki as well, and I'd like to see Carkner stay around as the 7th defenceman. So who fills the remaining spot on defence?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ What game were you watching? really? he was still very hesitant and not once brough the puck up from our own zone. Spezza gave him a few nice passes and instead of shooting he tries to deke 3 guys and then gets popped! He was directly responsible for the Dan Girardi goal. Did not produce offensively.... ..again... Donot get me wrong, Karlsson is the BEST in the league and will be for a long time but the Rangers chewed him up and spit him out. 1pt in 7 games, playing all those minutes and all those PP minutes and come away with nothing is pretty bad. Maybe the effort was there but the results werent and we all know results is what counts. Yes he was responsible for one goal, but Karlsson created a lot of chances. One thing I noticed with him, is he feeds off movement in the offensive zone. I'm not sure if its because the rags collapsed so much, but for the first 45 minutes of the game once we entered the OZ our forwards would stand waiting for passes. No movement. Karlsson can read lanes and movement probably better than anyone in the league. When he got the puck he didn't do much or didn't shoot cause you could see him trying to read the play....and nothing was created!! All he needs is a streaking greening through the box, or michalek cutting through the crease for a one timer. You could see him looking, but he had 4 guys standing still]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Phenomenal season of exciting hockey, thank you Senators On to speculate who gets resigned and not. My vote is Tookie maned up and took on the name as per bet for the season and playoffs, I see no problem with him taking back his name for the draft. Really the bet was between the two of you but you asked for posters thoughts. I don't remember if you guys decided terms, I only remember the name change if we went to playoffs. Proud of my team. They get to golf and enjoy the summer now, well deserved rest. Stoked for next season and even the off season and Draft.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Neil can't be captain of this team just because of his rep around the league and perhaps with the refs. In the dressing room, players know who the leaders are regardless of what letter they wear. On the ice, technically speaking, only captains are allowed to "talk" with refs at the box. You really think refs will give Neil a second of their time? His complaining would bounce right off. Not to say he wouldn't be a great leader for Ottawa, but there is a reason most goons/grinders don't become captains. Phillips would be a good Captain choice also, mind you I think in terms of a re-build we need to give the C to soemoen who will be around for a while, and really take this team under his wing Spezza is the clear and obvious choice for the C. Alfie has said so, he is vocal and is media savy. He is not afraid to answer any toll, and knows how to take a licking. Aside from these guys the only other person I would consider is Cowen in about 5 years lol]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Foligno is exactly what we need. Sure we have neil who plays on that edge, but Foligno is the only "skilled" guy who can really play that fine edge on the top lines. Sure his penalty hurt us in game 6. But its an sset to have a player like that play with absolutely no fear on the top 2/3 lines. HE will probably become a 3rd liner next year with silf and zib coming in, but we have seen what happens when we have all skilled soft players in top 6. Foligno stays and learns when to pick his spots I still remember that game vs Vancouver where he was just causing havoc all over the place. that edge is important I think we should keep Gonchar. Clearly he has a positive impact on our team and is a great leader. He was great in the playoffs, and with 1 year left on his contract he can be a real asset moving forward. Should we stumble next year at all (bubble between 6-10th place team is so small) that he would be great to move at deadline. Butler/daug/kon opka/gilroy/kub a won't be back next year IMO]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I know we're going to hear from Tookie, but I agree. I have never really seen Spezza as Captain material. He just doesn't strike me as a leader. He is, by far, our best forward, but that's as far as it goes. I think, however, that there's been too much talk already, assuming that he will be the next captain. that if they were to name someone else, he would not react well. I think he assumes he is the next one, for sure. I have always maintained that, sometimes, stats lie...I know Tookie will point to the fact that Spezza led the ream in points in thse playoffs, but I don't think anyone can say that Spezza played well, or like a leader, in these playoffs. I honestly think that if Alfie retires the best suited person right now to be captain(and I do not think he would be upset knowing it was sorta a interim leader) is none other than the heart and soul of this team Chris Neil]]></description>

And many people lead differently, you dont know if Phillips or Spezza or Neil can be a good or bad Captain. Phillips would be for his defensive prowess... Spezza would be for his point producing. Neil would be for his heart and soul.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Most of any legitimate negatives I can come up with will be gone within the next year or two(still within our rebuild)...so not really worth dwelling on. Here is hoping Murray stays the course and doesn't do any dumb singings(Kovale v etc). Draft accordingly...o h and as much as I am not convinced one more season for Alfie. Although if he returns I think it really increases the chances of us doing a move or moves that is counter rebuild...and on the surface I am against it...but if it gives Alfie one more deep run(cup??) then frankly imo extend the rebuild one season longer and give the man his shot! Oh and I RAISE ALFIE TO THE RAFTERS THE DAY HE CALLS IT A CAREER Add Silfverburg really demonstrating what a full off season/training camp will do for him...He is going to be an absolute stud~]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Ok so my take on the game: Alfie: best player on ice Michalek: Best game of the series, was everywhere, just couldn't bury. No complaints about hsi game at all tonight, even though he couldn't bury Spezza: wayyyy to quiet for a game 7 Karlsson: PLayed awesome, thats the Karlsson we know Cowen: Struggled, but is 20 Gonchar: I think was our best dman tonight, and perhaps all series....hones tly, the guy came up big this series..steady Kuba: Needs to learn how to clear the effing puck Smith: really needs to stop trying to stickhandle with the puck 8 feet in front of him. he always turns it over cause he stickhandles so far from his body. annoying as hell Turris: I'm super pumped for this guy for years to come All positives for the most, still stings tho Finally, when we lose in 7 games, and you (zipzaprap) want to pin the entire series on what penalty by Michalek to say he cost us the series, fuck off. team effort, and if we lost a 7 game series in that 2 minute call then clearly you don't know hockey.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Reality set in for me this morning. Very proud of the season the Sens put together. It was one of the most exciting seasons that I've witnessed as a fan. Lot's of ups and downs, and plenty of reasons to feel optimistic. It saddens me to think that that may have been Alfie's last game. He looks and sounds exhausted, I just don't think he has it in him to tough out another long season. I sure hope he comes back. If Alfie retires, who is the next captain? I'm not convinced that Spezza is capable of leading this team. I'm not convinced anyone on this team can take over as captain right now.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Happy we did our best, Sens kept me on the edge of my seat the entire 3rd. Just sad we had to finish the last minute with Gonchar in the box. It would have been nice to see the Sens get that final push. All in all, amazing season. For you haters out there, don't focus on the negative, we had way more positives this season to be proud of. We are young, continually getting better and next year should be a great one. Cheers out to all the Sens, the organization and management that gave us Fans the most exciting hockey in ALONG time. And Alfie, you have another season in you. You may feel tired now, but you'll get the urge that all great players get and you'll be back. And your Fans will be here to cheer you on. Go Sens Go!!!!]]></description>
