EDIT: I meant our two best faceoff men.

HELICOPTOR LINE! (no wings)

inside joke for anybody who saw the game last night.

I would like to see a line of Vermette-Regin-Foligno. I beleive it would work out givin some time.

I think by busting Regin down to the 4th line after getting the game winner his strategy is "accountability".

So true... ha ha.

BARF!!! Those lines look horrible. Ummm...yeah, after Fisher's last game, let's put him on the 3rd line with a bunch of crap...good.

Yeh im really starting to believe Hart's is not our coach. I was a supporter of his from day one and have been defending him ever since. I am truly starting to realise that he's lost in the pro's and cant get anything consistent going.

How about this:

McAmmond didnt have a good game (well according to the coach anyway). I think it has more to do with Hartsburg wanting to play Picard an Schubert to have some freshser legs.

So, you need a centre on that 4th line right?
Cannot seperate Vermette and Kelly, so it's either Fisher or Regin.

IMO, he will give all 4 lines enough ice time.

WTF is Regin doing on the 4th line? He should be centering Alfie and Heatley. Seriously.

Foligno-Neil-Ruutu works as a Terrible Three, not Fisher, who played much better on the Helicopter Line.

JaySpez with Schubie Doo and JesWin...now THAT would be sending a message.

Is Coach Craig starting to panic? Or maybe he hears Uncle Eugene's time bomb ticking...

Winchester has become one of my favorite players. His work ethic is incredible. He's a prototypical fetch and retrieve type player. He is so strong on the boards and is great at getting the puck in the zone, controlling the play, and setting up his teammates. He should be rewarded with more ice time and better linemates.

The Regin move is very dumbfounding. The guy scored his first NHL goal which proved to be the game winner.

Aaaannd he likes to run guys over too. It's fantastic, he's smart, physical, genius along the boards. This guy is Kelly but better already. He's become one of my favorite's too, pretty much as soon as he set foot on the ice, he was one of my favorites.

Regin being demoted to 4th line minutes is laughable, what is Hartsy doing here?

Fish with Ruutu and Neil? Really? When he finally starts to get his game back? I don't understand this man anymore...I really don't.

I get the impression "Fish" wasn't happy on the wing.

He looked pretty happy to me. I don't buy that for a second.

Did you see the interview at the intermission? He talked briefly about being on the wing and his tone was less than enthusiastic. Neither here nor there, it doesn't really matter where he plays, it's all the same.

He was finally starting to earn his paycheque with that 2 goal performance and the team was having success.

Play on the wing or play centre-bench.

Well, we will see tonight weather Hartsberg's moves made any sense at all... If Fisher has a crap game tonight I think there are a lot of people that will question a lot of things... again... sigh.

Nothing easy about being a Sens fan.

SUCK IT UP !!!

Does it matter if players are 'happy'? As I remember, every one of Scotty Bowman's players hated his guts. But that didn't stop them from winning.

The fact that Foligno remains on the 2nd PP unit and Winchester never sees any time there blows my MFing mind!

What! He's not playing center!? I can't believe I wasted time even replying to that tool Commodore and I missed that.

This is very, very disappointing. Fisher needs a 2nd half chalk full of games like he had against St.Louis. I don't want him at center - he's no bloody good there. Boo.
