2 Points!

We don't disagree with benching Alexandre Picard but remember you are replacing a 40 game defencemen, who is even with a rookie liability @ -13, also as good as Campy is playing he does not cover for Carks as well as #45 or provide the speed and positioning #39 requires.

To out "shoot-out" the Islanders is something...I attribute it to Kovy's skill and status...he makes us feel like we are "Big Time!"

We love Saint-Pascal and he won another for us tonight but if he has a "Tighter" game he's gotta bring it!

CiCi...hurt Kuba's feelings...ya gotta get him off the Power Play...he's lost his offencive confidence and it shows!

Because Kovy goes backwards...now we all go backwards...I'm not sure we should go back through our points as much as we do routinely in the offencive zone and on the rush.

PS: Ottawa Senator's first NHL game January 1910 (100 years ago). No wonder Tranna hates us we had guys like Gilmore, Pulford, Clancy, Howe, Art Ross and won the Stanley Cup in 1910/11 years ahead of the Leafs!

To Rob in Kanata!

Earlier in the season, I thought that we had established that you had one of the weakest hockey minds in Ottawa. But your drivel and inaccurate comments are back!!!

It's Mr. or Bryan Murray to you...you &*^$#@(!

You have no money, CAP or players to trade with...so enough already with your fantasy trades!

Do you realy know the difference between an AHL Roster and the Sens...we are holding our own with out our "Captain and our #1 center you dolt!

Your 5th Defenceman, Alexandre Picard, is holding his own after 40 games, far exceeding expectations...you go to move him now and ya got the whole league waitin' to kick your arse in a trade!

So to you and that other Anonymous know it all, just STFU unless you have something constructive to add!

Good effort...too little!

Goal tending, defence, speed and skill is tough to beat...the kids are just plain good!

Loose early, since when did we get so good that we can start each game like this!

St-Pascal got out played.

Shannon likes Kovy! So do we!

Foligno looks good.

Tough night for #45!

Once a game Cheech hangs a point man with that late, tight to the wall, roller...he got Campy and Picard tonight! And then cannot get back to catch the third trailer.

A chance to balance the attack!

We'd like to see...

#26; #43; #27

#9; #12; #25

#73; #22; #71

#10; #18; #41

But CiCi is stuck playing Cheech and Foligno higher in the pecking order!

You non believers should be collectively kissing Alexandre Picard's and Matt Karkner's arse because between the two of them they have saved a very shaky SENS DEFENCE in the first half the season when neither one was expected to crack this line up!

Campy just high lights the "Pup's" short comings.

We get out smarted by the Western Teams in that we try to adjust to them...let's just go out and take it to 'em!

"Zebra Mgmt!" Take Two!

Big victory...we deserved to win...Ottawa needed that!

How do you think the Habs fans feel today?? I counted our usual 6 grievous infractions for the game.

The Refs, playing good cop bad cop...one guy (Frazer) is "Stink a poo jodhpurs" and yes, he tried to sh&t the bed! Frazer with his TV make up and "Big Hair" hockey helmet looks not a day under 65, looked pretty forlorn under the "Hot Lights" and the direct scorn of our #25!

It used to be the Officials would have to manage or be allowed to manage the odd game...for example when Vancouver had a bad team and the Visitors were sent streaming to the box in typical "Homer Coast League fashion". Note: This has been going on for a hundred years, my dad who played out there years ago, in the old Western Pro League, told me it was on account of the "Silver Seven" shellacking the Millionaires and he was serious.

But to the case at hand, this major involvement of the Refs in the out come of every game has gone too far. They are wrecking it for everybody. It only takes one bad penalty call, one bad goal call, you don't have to freeze the Montreal power play totally, they would have been stone cold anyway...how was Ottawa's PP supposed to perform being shut out completely game after game...and these late in the game meaningless penalties to balance the stat sheet drive me crazy...do they think we are that stupid...I guess they do.

So to Mr. Frazer and your colleagues, you guys are officially warned...the honeymoon is over...we shall be relentless...because as we have seen in Montreal they don't even complain and you continue to sh&t on them anyway!

Post Script: a good Boston/Tampa game ruined by McCauley/Van Massenhoven see Jesse Connolly...maybe it's our Division excludung the Leafs?

I smell "Zebra Mgmt!"

Over heard in a "Hard Drinkin'" bar in downtown Tranna...Nico was not there..."If we have to cave on "Head Shots" then I want total management of the games!" Author unknown.


What gives? Leafs are up 3-2 in the 3rd period on a Sunday Night in Pittsburgh and pick up the only two Power Plays and the badly needed road win! I smell " Zebra Mgmt!"

You know the Hab's Power Play is going to get a good, long, repeated work out against us because the same bulletin that was sent to Pittsburgh was sent to Ottawa...Jacques Martin, at Carleton yesterday is practicing the PP when they should have been working on 5 on 5...they are supposed to be on the road.

History repeats...about this time last year the Canadiens needing a win bad go into MSG and set a record vs Rangers (it never happened before) getting 4 unanswered PPs culminating in a 5 on 3 in the third period with a goal for a 2- 0 margin...only #6 Wade Redden and Glen Sather knew what was going on!

You know "Zebra Mgmt" is going to get this 3 pointer to a Shoot Out...it will not matter if we are up 4 after 2 periods! "But Kovy is ready for 'em!"... Spelled Kovy with a "Y" because that's the way the Montreal Blogs spell it (And they were first) and they are the ones who should be scared!

As mentioned after the last game against us, Halak is better than Price...it's time to stick a pin in his bubble...dirty goals...a bad goal...will do it every time.

We have our French Canadien Goal Tender back again...the "Hex" switches!

These guys are no better than us...let's just skate 'em into the ice! Same line up...same pairings and lines!

It wasn't meant to be this way!!

The teams that win the shoot outs are going to make the play offs the teams that don't aren't.

This is not news but I cannot get over how painfully obvious it now is to every one, even the League types. At least before they had plausible denial.

Alex Kovalev is well on his way to earning us a play off spot with shoot out goals...for an old Sens' fan this is pure gold!

It's never a bad play to shoot the puck on the net, it may not be the best play but it's never a bad one! Harry Neale and I are the same era! Just keep on keeping on...sooner or later you keep out shooting your opponent, you are going to beat him!

Once played on a team that had nobody...one of the best teams I ever played on!

St-Pascal is the first guy we have had for a while, where the other guys look at our net and say: "We could be in for a very long night!"

Important two points...Jason and Alf or no Jason and Alf, I don't remember everything being so life and death at the 40 game mark...and it truly is!

Finally, the $64,000.00 Question (and for you guys that mess that up every time that was the correct title/amount of the show)? What do we do with Erik "Special K" Karlsson? Bingo for another 12 games if he will go? Note: If I were him and had my drothers I wouldn't go either.
