And 9 of those guys are legit top 6.<br /><br />So really, it&#39;s more about what happens in practice and how guys &quot;feel&quot; with each other that will dictate the lines. I&#39;d rather see them go with relatively set lines for 5-8 games and see how they respond rather than change them every period.<br /><br />Depth is a good problem to have!Haxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089355686605598997.post-54132457614088739612009-10-09T12:23:26.134-04:002009-10-09T12:23:26.134-04:00To Hax:<br />No silly...Fisher is backing up Pascal! ;)<br />You&#39;re right, sorta throws a wrench in 10:08&#39;s errrr 10:12&#39;s dream lines.

Someone above said this but yes I&#39;ll go there ... Sens have beaten 2 teams they should have. I&#39;ll chalk the Rangers loss up to rust/nerves/whatever. Too early to gauge what the Sens really are. If they&#39;d trounced the Leaves and Isles I&#39;d be more convinced.<br /><br />Leclaire has been awesome. I love having a goalie who actually makes saves rather than fortuitously being in the right spot for it to hit them.<br /><br />Defensive gaffs have been the cause of pretty much all the goals. They need to make the opposition pay the price for coming in front of the net. Haven&#39;t really seen that yet. The Campoli headlock from last night doesn&#39;t cut it. It is nice to see the Sens making it difficult on the opposition to get into our zone though, again haven&#39;t seen that in a while. Perhaps they&#39;ve solved the puck moving dilemma at the expense of some toughness?<br /><br />I think the offense will come. It&#39;s been a week of real games with a lot of new faces/combinations.<br /><br />Loving the depth.wretchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089355686605598997.post-3094479308887458212009-10-09T10:12:51.591-04:002009-10-09T10:12:51.591-04:00I really want Karlsson to be the real deal. I believe in time he will be. If you are honest in your evaluation of him, it is clear he is being man-handled in the defensive zone. <br /><br />Last night the Sens had a very difficult time breaking out of their zone almost everytime Karlsson was on the ice. <br /><br />Send him to Bingo for a season.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089355686605598997.post-27952794661535130502009-10-09T10:12:23.203-04:002009-10-09T10:12:23.203-04:00it is funny I guess I think we all kind of where concerned about the Defence now look they are the best part of the team. I would mix up the lines just to take some pressure of them just for a short time I would play:<br />Regan-Spezza-Alfie<br />Ruutu-Kovalev-Cheechoo<br />Foligno-Shannon-Michalek<br />-Kelly-Neil-Donnovan<br />I like the 2nd line when Ruutu is on the ice he demands a lot of attenation from the other team, this would give Kovalev an Cheechoo more time and the 2 of them have soft hands. no real centre but ? i think it would workAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089355686605598997.post-34890104442687693222009-10-09T09:25:06.184-04:002009-10-09T09:25:06.184-04:00here is to hoping that one or all of: bieksa, mitchell, phaneuf, regehr and kronwall give heatley the ride of his life each time he plays against them.<br /><br />what a prick. my stomach churns when i hear he scores even one goal.<br /><br />go sens<br />regardless, sharks wont be winning a cup this year because they got more wimpier on their first line.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089355686605598997.post-34040661500964370952009-10-09T09:21:53.393-04:002009-10-09T09:21:53.393-04:00The save at the end of the second was UNREAL....Everyone was on their feet! It had to feel good, I hadn&#39;t seen the crowd that into a game since our few games in the finals.<br /><br />Highlight of the night for me was Carkner on the bench after scoring, they showed him on the jumbo tron and he honestly looked as if he had just won the Stanley cup!<br /><br />Gotta love Sens fans though.....we lose game one, and they call for everyones head....we win two in a row and noone is complaining. <br /><br /><br /><br />Who ever said Cloustons job is on the line, I VERY highly doubt we will be switching coaches again this season.

Last year, and in years past we haven&#39;t been able to win those types of games, but with Leclaire and Philichenkov playing the way they are, we can get the wins. When the scorers start scoring, we&#39;re going to be a very tough team to beat. Chris Neil (so far) is showing us why he was signed to that contract. Note to rookies playing the Sens - keep your head up when A-train is on the ice.Geoffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12286405512893390384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089355686605598997.post-45324041177265403282009-10-09T08:51:57.456-04:002009-10-09T08:51:57.456-04:00@ Carly - Oh wow, that is funny!3twelvehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10825853383137376348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089355686605598997.post-2065488448205076482009-10-09T08:50:42.841-04:002009-10-09T08:50:42.841-04:00Carly said... <br />Ovechkin&#39;s ok, but i really love Semen.<br /><br />You MIGHT want to check your spelling on that second name, if you don&#39;t want people to get the wrong idea....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089355686605598997.post-20706717259807397472009-10-09T08:46:28.052-04:002009-10-09T08:46:28.052-04:00Kovalev will not produce on a line with Foligno and Fisher....he needs people who can finish.
