GDT - Ottawa vs. Winnipeg - Monday, Sep 26, 4pm EST, CBC

A fight! Oh, wait. Even the fights are boring in this game.

I don't say this often...but I don't think I can watch much more of this.

Hmmm, didn't notice. So far I've liked his game, but if he's turning it over, that's not a good thing.

Keep in mind, this is only a very brief observation...

I really think it's more than Rundblad turning the puck over. These guys can't make a pass today -- they are not skating... Pavelec is a great goalie... don't be too surprised if a big goose egg today IF they continue playing the way they have been. The only one appearing to put in any effort is Auld.

Yeah, could be a whole big suck-fest across the board... too bad Neil tried to start something right at the end of the period... any surge will have fizzled out...

Ice looks Dung for both teams. Auld has been impressive.

No, I've noticed that too, and not just this game. This isn't the SEL he better light a fire under himself cuz he's on the fast bus to Bingo.

I think people have to realize that Rundblad isn't Karlsson.

Ha. Get used to it. We aren't gonna come out of the gate flying this season. It's a work in progress. There'll be games like the last one (awesome) and games like this (boring). It could be worse. It could be August.

A lot of them are floating out there today...why single out Rundblad.

Winnipeg came to play.... Ottawa appears not to...

Be interesting to see what the coaches try to do to get them going.

If the ice is bad... both teams have to play on it... Winnipeg seems to be doing just fine.

Now we know why Winnipeg did not pick Couturier... that Schlieffe (sp?) is a great young player.

I'm pretty sure he's refering to the 9 Bingo players or whatever we have in our lineup. They're making it boring.

Scheifele is dynamic. I don't remember hearing much about him prior to the draft, but he looks like he's gonna be great.

Yeah, I definitely think we're gonna struggle to score goals. That's life I guess, but missing Spezza, Michalek and Filatov (and Gonchar) is eating into our already anemic offense.

Love Hoffman, Grant etc., but they need time obviously.

I'll say it again, Corey Locke is awful. He makes an NHL game so boring.

Scheifele looks awesome, very impressed. Not sure what he can do in the OHL to learn more, but he'll be a lock for 120+ points.

He's been balls, but I wouldn't put it all on him, that's for sure.

Offense please.

Dung, I think we broke Auld!

Yeah, Jets made a solid pick in Scheifele. Nicely done by them.

I'm only half watching this to see what MacLean said and how they react to being crappy.
