Yeah sorry, I edited my post as it wasn't too clear...it was the price for 1 ticket... I have a pair for any of these games and the price is either $100 or $120 for the pair (both tickets) + a free parking pass

I agree with half of this. I think the overall team defence has improved. It's not a state of the art system, but it's improved. I'm fine with Karlsson, Methot, Ceci, and Cowen as a top 4. Ceci is going to be a stud (his progression is very similar to Karlsson, but he just won't ever be as good as a Karlsson) and Cowen has improved, but still has his bad moments. I think we need to address our 5/6 slots. They are a mess. We don't need to draft a Weber or trade for a Ekman-Larson to address those though. If we do, that's fine, but we really only need a little tweaking.

The Gryba and Boro hate is really nonsensical. Gryba had a great game last night. So many times he's the one that did the smart play and initiated the breakout by finding space/time and completing a pass to an open man. He's really underrated by a lot of fans.

Everyone struggled in the D-zone last night, especially Cowen and Ceci. They might be future top 4 Dmen, but right now they have more development to do. Right now we know what we have in Methot-Karlsson pairing which is a quality pairing. The bottom pairing is a carousel of players, but mostly gets the job done when Phillips sits. IMO, its the second pairing that is probably playing above their current capabilities. Also the wingers are doing a really bad job on the walls.

I've been defending Cowen for two years, but I'm starting to sour, and I'm a very patient fan. Maybe he's nothing more than a 3rd pairing guy. A number 2D to pair with Karlsson (to push Methot down to 2nd pairing) or another top 4 to play with Ceci would do wonders for our D. Cowen can be traded or play a shut-down, hard-hitting role on the 3rd pairing.

I heard the Norris player on Edmonton called Jultz is available.

Gryba has his flashes where he looks good. He had a great pass on the Turris goal. He needs to work on his consistency. Tends to play 2 or 3 really good games, then struggles for 4 or 5. Boro isn't an NHL d-man. I'm not sure why we gave him an NHL contract. I'm not sure how anyone can argue that. His lack of awareness resulted in a goal last night on a crummy rebound by Lehner. On that same play, Ceci made a pretty bonehead pass that got intercepted that started the rush. However, Ceci needs a bit of time. He's a kid. I've noticed a lot of the growing pains in his game were in Karlsson's game when he started out too. Ceci isn't Karlsson, so it will take a little more time, but I think he can become a real piece on our blueline. He's my favourite prospect since Karlsson.

People have to get off the thought of Cowen becoming the next Pronger. He's going to be an NHL d-man, but just a 2nd or 3rd pairing guy. Nothing wrong with that. This won't be the defence you see in a year or two. There will be a couple of new faces. Most likely in the 4/5/6 slots.

Sometimes we see what we want to see. Sens have done a great job in reducing goals against. This is a very good corps of very young D men. Cowen has improved tremendously over last year. Ceci continues to learn his craft. Gryba is a really good 3rd pair Dman. Borowiecki and Wiercioche are good enough.

If you take age (experience) into account this D is fine.

last night

Travis Yost @TravisHeHateMe
Ottawa's blue line is just pitiful. What a collection.

I would like to disagree but really can't.

I had to watch last night's game on the Pens broadcast. Bob Errey has to be the dumbest broadcaster in hockey. Anyway he starts off by saying Bobby Orr said that Eric Karlsson is the best skater of any player in the NHL. He then goes on to say that he thinks Letang is a better (faster) skater. By the end of the game the Pittsburgh broadcast was focussed almost entirely on Karlsson whenever he was on the ice (focussed in the sense that you have to stop him).

The more Ottawa builds the team around Karlsson the more they are likely to succeed. And, Karlsson is at his best when he is attacking. Last night in the third period the Pittsburgh were not talking about Karlsson's D, it was more like here he comes again.
- spatso

Other than the fact that your second paragraph is completely unintelligible what exactly is your point? Letang is better than karlson, especially this year.

- Dcoms

Other than for Bob Errey and few Pittsburgh fans your supposition is fanciful.

Some people see nothing but rainbows and gumdrops if we end up bottoming out. We get a pick of kids scouts have been ranting and raving about. Wippdeedoo. They fail to see that if we do bottom out completely that there would be something larger wrong with this team then just a top scorer or another d-man. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

We will be likely picking top 10. There is nothing wrong with that. Great players are not alway taken with the first 5 picks, although odds are greater. The scouting staff will have to do their due diligence to pick out the diamond in the rough. There's a possibility of moving up in the draft as well. Murray loves doing that (if he's in charge at that point), but often harder with early picks.

The Sens 3rd period was very good. Finally forced some offence and astonishingly the chances went in. Granted it was a back up goaltender. Having consistent offence will go a long way to improve this team.

I wasn't overly impressed with Lehner, yet again. Some poor reads on most of the goals. The Boro/Gryba nonsense needs to stop. It's really too bad we are stuck with Phillips, Boro, Gryba, and Wiercioch all on one way deals. Money issues and the fact no other team is likely to want them is the only reason we can't address the 5/6 spot right now.
- Gord_Wilson_2.0

Agreed on all points. Gryba looks worse with each game, heck, with each time the puck is on his stick. Guy has no idea how to make a play, he's basically only capable of pushing someone over.

I have never been confident that Lehner was the long term answer. I think the problem is more than positioning. He has periods of great intensity. And, then he appears to lose concentration.

For the feint of heart who want to second guess the past it appears that Bishop is not able to duplicate his regular season effort of last year. Tampa is a great young team. But they have a goaltending problem. Bishop continues to struggle. He is at risk of losing his starting job to a young Russian kid (multiple v's, y's and s's in the spelling of his name).
Anderson is a very good goalie.
- spatso

This may be true, but Vasilevski is basically the worlds best young goaltender, and will probably be the next elite goalie in the league.

The lightning don't have an issue, because Vasilevski is unbelievable and will only get better. Destined for greatness, IMO.

I agree with half of this. I think the overall team defence has improved. It's not a state of the art system, but it's improved. I'm fine with Karlsson, Methot, Ceci, and Cowen as a top 4.

I think we need to address our 5/6 slots. They are a mess. We don't need to draft a Weber or trade for a Ekman-Larson to address those though. If we do, that's fine, but we really only need a little tweaking.

Las night we saw examples of why good offence is important. The 1st two periods was not impressive offensive wise. No opportunities were being generated, and the ones that were did not go in, and that pressure was unsustained. The 3rd, they forwards pressed more, sustained pressure, forced penalties, and we capitalized on some key opportunities. The Pens took they foot off the gas a bit and playing a back up helps, but the evidence was there. Defence is important and we still have improvement in that area, but to me, offence is more concerning going forward.
- Gord_Wilson_2.0

Lately, Ceci has been concerning me. He seems to be regressing, but maybe it's just that he is gaining confidence and is now trying riskier plays to drive the offence. He will need time to adjust, I suppose we have to let him make his mistakes, and he'll improve those passes as he learns.

How long before Sh1tso brings up trading Ryan?

now, there's no need to be an @rse .... its one thing to rib a guy, its another to make it personal.

One thing I do know is that Spats is not intersted in Ottawa aquiring Kessel - he's sees that as a bad move

I've been defending Cowen for two years, but I'm starting to sour, and I'm a very patient fan. Maybe he's nothing more than a 3rd pairing guy.
- BruteSquad

Keep the faith brother ...... Ottawa's D is very inexperienced ... they are at least two years out from hitting their potential (I'm taking B4 here), thus there will be lumps along the way.

You can tell he used to be a Leafs fan. Always looking at the bright side of life.

Actually, when I first said the Sens had no interest in Kessel it was before anyone in Leaf media raised the idea of dealing him. Now it is taken for granted. Truth is if the Sens could get him for cheap I would not oppose their acquiring him.

Other than the fact that your second paragraph is completely unintelligible what exactly is your point? Letang is better than karlson, especially this year.
- Dcoms

Care to illustrate? I thinks its a pretty legitimate comparison, two elite offensive players.

BTW, I don't think its close. Karlsson has a 78 and 74 point season on his resume on garbage teams. Letang has yet to surpass 50pts in a season (I know he'll probably surpass it this year), but he's on an elite team with Generational talent, and is in his prime. Karlsson is 3 years younger and they currently have the exact same amount of points: Karlsson did it in 3 fewer seasons.
Defensively I'd give the edge to Letang by a good margin, but Offensively Karlsson is on another stratosphere.
The only legitimate statement is that Letang is having a better year.

That guy is over the moon regardless of what happens with the Sens.

Sens lose - Awesome I love this team.

It is so true. When I finally let go of the Leafs, I began to enjoy hockey again.

You had to love the young Senators last night. The third period was inspiring.

When they get behind and crank up the offence and let Karlsson be Karlsson it is spectacular to watch. They will grow into their talent and we will soon see them playing every period like the 3rd from last night.

Allright, I'll give Cowen another 2 years, I'll stay neutral for now. He really needs to play mean to be effective. I believe that the parade to the box 16 months ago (starting in the california road trip) took the bite out of his hockey. Can someone run over his cat or something.

I was expecting that this year. Didn't happen. I noticed that MacArthur has done his usual thing. Man that guy is frustrating. Best player in the league on a 1 year deal. You guys did well to avoid Kane. With such a baby team you didn't need him leading the toddlers astray.

I've noticed you slyly hyping up Crouse and Marner saying Marner may go above Eichel. I cannot ever see that happening. Both should still be there when Ottawa picks you rascal. You guy's will get the best prospect from this draft I'd imagine.

First everybody was sore that they were losing, and it was a nonstop gripefest in here.

Now they show resiliency, battling back against a top team with some nice goals despite bad goaltending, all of our future core pieces factoring into those goals, and now all anyone can do is be super salty that we're one point farther away from the top 5 pick.

Honestly, I'm a lot happier watching guys like Stone, Zibby, Hoffman, Lazar, and Karlsson have fantastic games against a powerhouse team and lose in OT than I would be to see a) a win against a bad team, or b) a beating where they look like they're giving up.

Seriously, nobody would have blamed these young guys for mailing it in on several occasions - Lehner let in a brutal goal 1 minute in, they were down 3-0 by the start of the third, and then Lehner let in another brutal goal late to restore the two goal lead and take the wind out of our sails - and still, these guys battled back to get a point, and took it all the way to the shootout, which is a coin toss.

If you think losing against lowly buffalo and then getting pounded by pittsburgh is what's best for the franchise, you're wrong. games like that give young kids confidence and build the psyche of the team for the future.

There's still a lot of losing to come this season, don't you worry. NJ and Columbus will be passing us in the standings. In fact, any one of those teams outside of Buffalo could make a push up the standings. I'm more worried about development of the guys we DO have, and the guys we DO have are all better for what happened last night.

Yes I like Marner and Crouse. But I think the Leafs will get Marner. Crouse is more likely pick for Sens. Not opposed to their taking a DMan if Provorov is still on the boards
