A real plus for the Leafs, aside from Kessel, is Beauchemin+ Komisarek playing like the Leafs expected when they signed them. Komisarek looked horrific the first 5-10 games, and Beauchemin looked horrible the first 15-20 games. Now both are playing very solid. The Leafs really missed Komisarek when he was injured.

I guess it just took them time to feel comfortable with their new team.

How good did they look last night?

Stop yourself. Thornton's TEAM choked... didn't even choke. Ran into a good team that got healthy at the right time and took Detroit to seven games too.

I love Ryan Getzlaf. He's a top ten player in the NHL imo, but Thornton > Getzlaf.

JOE CHOKED

He sucked every game except for game 5.

Getzlaf was clearly better then, Joe is a stat padder who cant perform on the big stage

Overall it looked pretty ugly. However, they had been playing well and I do not think that Saturday night was merely a temporary let down from the good play of the last few weeks.

Again............stop living in the past, the Senators are currently sitting in a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

And how many Cups has Anaheim won since?

Thanks for giving me more hope

it's ok, we reached the pinnacle, eventually we were going to plateau and need younger players.

atleast we got a cup and a couple deep playoff runs out of it, and as of today have picks 3 and 6 of the draft with 20 million in capspace coming.

Good, try and tank so we don't have to worry about Taylor Hall going to Boston


Seriously though, you guys really need defense especially the fact that Niedermayer will eventually be gone. I'm guessing you already know about Cam Fowler, he's the guy the Ducks should go for if they stay down in the standings.

PLATEAU !!!!!!!!!!!!! How about plummet down to the subbasement of the Western Conference.

The Ducks won a cup within the last few years, and with a curb-stomp victory over your team. They're not as good this year, but they've accomplished a lot more than the Sens ever have. This Ducks fan is being too cocky for his own good, but his team has the cup rings to back him up.

You should stop.

we were at the top
you never have been
you got close once
and have been mediocre ever since

you will never win a cup with your current core, sad but true

Congratulations for winning some cups before the NHL was even actually considered the NHL.

I think it's pretty safe to say that there's more to come.

Judging by the last 10 games it should be re-named Hab Agony.
