I hate Bobby Clarke, the guy is a disgrace and he should keep his mouth shut... Just wants attention

Very well might be, but that opinion isnt jsut his, I garentee that.

What, that no one fears Spezza will do anything but turn you inside out and score? Yeah, the last time they let hits and dirty play determine the outcome of a game or series they still made you score more goals than the other guys.

Anahiem.

Still had players like Teemu and McDonald.

A PMD is our biggest need right now, but the problem is we have a few big holes to fill and fixing one isn't going to be "the silver bullet" to make us a contender. There's only so much Murray can really do this season.

Agreed.

They sure did, and who is the center the have their team based around now? A guy that is a complete player and tallented.

And there it is...

Game over boys.

HAhaha, wow.

Good effort from Smith, what a hit he threw late in the 3rd on Meyer.

But really NY, chanting "USA"? C'mon now, that's uncalled for. Your team's better players are from Canada. If it weren't for Canada hockey wouldn't exist.

There is nothing left to do but make a trade. There is no way Murray can ignore this....though I guess he has before.

Good thing the big line is together, they are really making the difference.

Tonight half of their roster was from Canada. hahahah, bunch of dumbasses... Almost as stupid as those dumbass announcers

Yeah, they were pretty obnoxious to listen too, though seemed pretty knowledgeable about the Sens.

I find most American fans to be pretty obnoxious, rude and anti-Canadian.

Funny cause most of them probably couldn't point it out on a map...

i'm surprised they knew Ottawa was in Canada

Haha so true. I hope Bettman's happy with all the failing cities like Nashville, the Florida's, etc. Cause we all know Canada makes the NHL.

Changes ARE needed, and fast. Bouwmeester would be excellent. Ek's back on the 'Bulin (who is injured, DTD) bandwagon.... and while I would like him as well, Bouwmeester would be the priority and I just don't think we can afford him, unless something big happens (Fisher or Spezza traded, for monetary reasons).

After the game tonight, Martin might try to play hard ball with Murray and jack up the trade price.

I would be really surprised if there isn't a trade made tonight, leaked tomorrow and announced Monday.

Man oh man, Brian Lee was the only guy capable of making an outlet pass tonight - and even that was few and far between.

Has it ever been more evident that the Sens were horribly cheap in the off-season when it came to their D?

Kind of like being hit by a transport. lol I agree. Trade done this weekend, news on Monday. Hopefully it is J-Bo.

Is this team good enough to justify parting with future assets for J Bo?

If they are able to sign him, I say yes. But if this becomes nothing more than a rental, it will cost Murray his job.

The team missed Picard tonight from what little I saw/heard. I can't believe I just typed that. Picard has been good lately though.
