Phillips and Gonchar are getting more comfortable together, as are all our D pairings. The PP is starting to click. It's taking time and there's definitely some spots that need re-plastering and a new coat of paint, but things are slowly starting to come together. Next in order is getting Regin, Foligno, and Spezza firing, and working Michalek, Kuba, and Leclaire back into our line-up. Elliott has been great and I think it likely that he'll be our go-to goalie, but we have to get Leclaire going soon, too.
both comments are spot on.PKC wrote:rooneypoo wrote:The good news is that while OTT hasn't yet started to play anything like the kind of hockey that it's capable of, we're still finding ways to win in the interval as we sort our game out.

Well said; it also helps that Karlsson got a partner other than that defensive vortex Lee and has started playing to his potential. The sky is truly the limit for this kid. His hockey IQ is absolutely off the charts. Can you imagine this kid when he gets a few NHL seasons under his belt and starts maturing physically? Holy Dung.
Karlsson tangent aside, this team is starting to get it together. We just need to ice a healthy lineup for more than 1 period at a time.

when things don't look great there's always karlsson to look at. this is the kind of talent you build a team around. he's going to cost us a small fortune some day.
"It was one of the first times we actually had them on their one-timing sides and they showed what they can do, get the puck off quick," said Senators goaltender Brian Elliott. "Hopefully, we’ll keep using that and we know we have a bunch of different options with our power play. We’ve got a ton of talented guys out there. On any given night, somebody can do the damage and last night, it was those two."
