@anon 10:23 you do have a problem with cheechoo like so many others sure he doesnt score a lot but i think he plays well , look at alfie plays not good either but whatever they win now and everybody is happy with the coach and his decisions. i do get up evey morning at 2 am( german time) to watch that team i used to like but now i do understand heatley because this coach might get a couple wins but he has no charisma and will disappear like the whole team because the the have no heart and soul. i do rather follow cheechoo into the minor leagues because he has charisma than follow this team that never ever will win the cup. i thought heatley is a wanker but he was right to get out of this shithole. cheers from munich

People who keep questioning Clouston need to shut up and look at the bottom line (which is the number of wins).

Anon (9:02): Clouston's eyes are wide open, I believe it's yours that are covered (along with Anon 12:22, 12:40, BeJamin, mikeP, 3:31 and 4:26.)
Cheechoo is permanently done as a top six NHL forward. In fact, he's done as an NHL player. San Jose could see it last year and Ottawa knew it before he even came to town. That's why Murray refused every deal with Cheechoo until he was forced into caving by Heatley.
CAN YOU GUYS JUST GIVE HIM A BREAK? Just let Cheechoo wind down his career with grace. He's a top notch guy but not a top notch scorer...on ANY NHL team. He's slow (surgeries) and has no more scoring touch than Chris Kelly. After he's bought out this summer, he might manage a contract at league minimum...or a bit higher if he takes a 2-way deal.

Look for other options when trying to play coach...the Cheechoo thing just makes you look silly.

2009-11-21T22:23:11.464-05:00

Cheechoo sucks....He is slow as mollasses and does not deserve to be top 6 forward, I have never seen him play well since he's been here.

Everyone else is playing well or has improved somewhat but he just stinks. He should be traded for a bag of pucks in the offseason.

2009-11-21T21:02:05.137-05:00

Clouston needs to open his eyes, Cheechoo should not be on the 4th line! this is getting ridiculous, give the guy consistant minutes for a longer period of time ( at least a month) and see if he can pick it up, we all know he still has it in him and he gets alot of chances so the goals will come with time!

2009-11-21T18:28:17.429-05:00

I think Cheechoo is pretty much done as a top 6 here. Clouston prefers Foligno or Shannon up there if there's a choice.

Neil for Crosby, I'd even throw in a second round pick to get that - obviously SJ's 2nd and not ours though

2009-11-21T16:31:18.120-05:00

Cheechoo has been given enough opportunities on the top 2 lines. I agree with Clouston...and since his coaching record would indicate that maybe, just maybe he knows what the hell he is doing, maybe then we should trust his judgement until he proves otherwise. Let Cheechoo claw his way back up from the 4th line and prove that he belongs in the top half of the lineup based on merit rather than past rep. His legs look weak out there and if I were the GM I'd be sending him off to Greco next off-season with a sleeping bag, an oxygen tank, and a bucket to hurl in as his arse gets whipped back into tip top shape.

2009-11-21T16:27:52.609-05:00

Lalime starting tonight is a Godsend for Ottawa. Miller is basically the only reason their record is so good. With the other goalies in net they are like 0-5 or something terrible.

Also nice that we get them on the back end of 3 in 4 nights. Hopefully we can push hard early.

Alfie and Michalek have very little chemistry together and basically try to play the same role/position when they are on the ice. They need to be put on two separate lines and things will start to gel again. I think the best way to do this is to push Cheechoo up and drop Alfie down into Fish's line. We'll see I guess. Clouston seems stubborn :(.

2009-11-21T16:26:06.452-05:00

Honestly, SC u have any idea wats on Clouston's mind?? why is he playing Cheechoo on the 4th line??!!! that is insane. not a smart move by Cory.
wats ur opinion on this, Chirpy?

2009-11-21T16:25:30.785-05:00

Cheechoo won't find his game (well, the one commenters keep going on about) on the first, second, third, fourth or seventeenth lines.
The most horrible thing about losing Chum AND Kovy is that it creates a true fourth line (Cheechoo-Regin-Winchester), something the Sens have managed to avoid all season. No-one will be afraid to be scored on by this line unless Regin and Winnie find some spark.

Can the Sens pull out a "Fourth Jersey" that is Blue and White to scare Lalime?

Win one for Chummy, Sens! You certainly haven't won many without him... Go Sens Go!

2009-11-21T16:17:59.433-05:00

Thomas at 1:33.. you are so massively confused your embarassing yourself. Donovan has been the heart and soul of the sens this year. The games he sat in the press box we've looked sad and pathetic. You clearly don't watch the hockey gmaes. There are so many other players on the sens that I'd trade before getting rid of grit, leadership, salary cap affordable 4th liner. Learn your roll Thomas, if you read any of the comments on senschirp you'll find out quickly how wrong you are. Run along hater.

2009-11-21T15:50:24.429-05:00

i think the elliott for sharp deal benefits both teams and lets face it, chicago may not be in the best barganing position. elliott may look like a steal 2 or 3 years from now.

2009-11-21T15:44:40.646-05:00

Tomas.....no. just no. A 7 million dollar playmaking center on the third line? Must be a leafs fan, because no sens fan would be capable of such idiocracy.

2009-11-21T15:35:29.234-05:00

Points aren't everything. The top line had been playing well until recently (last two games really). They aren't getting points but they are playing well. Alfie has missed practice lately so obviously he isn't 100%. I don't see how everyone can call Cloustan and idiot for giving them a shot.

Saying Cheechoo belongs on anything but the 4th is crazy. He is useless and skates like a Timbits player. Let Cloustan do his thing and stop pretending like you know what's going on more than him. It's amazing how this city has so many NHL caliber coaches circling the blogs...

I agree with previous posters. Put Cheech with Spezz and Milan.

Alfie with Fish.

elliott for sharp it is a done deal.

2009-11-21T14:43:03.213-05:00

To win, Spezza needs to get going. No points in six/seven games won't cut it for the Sens to be succesful.

Yep. Lalime it is
