Nice! You must have been pleased when we drafted him.

Foligno struggled under both Paddock and Hartsburgh but since Clouston has come in he's been absolutely on fire. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe 10 or more of his 16 goals have come since Clouston came on board. Foligno has solidified a top six forward position for at least this season as well. That line of Foligno, Fisher and Shannon is not only a lightening quick offensive threat but they also act like a wrecking crew out there (excluding little Shannon of course). They have the skill and offense of a second line but the grinding, hard hitting, forechecking style of a checking third line. Clouston has shown a lot of confidence in Foligno and his efforts have been rewarded with some prime Power play minutes which he's taken full advantage of.

Does that make him a 30-goal threat? :D


Seriously, I'd echo several of the above - it's nice to have some scoring from "anyone other than the Big 3"

Secondary scoring isnt a huge isse right now, niehter is grit, or top line tallent. Goaltending is sorted out, all we need is that number 1 D man. Smith is gone next year, one way or another, I would guess Auld is as well, same with Schubert and IMO Comrie will be as well.

If they can add J Bo without getting rid of either Heatley or Spezza, Sens might very well be the best team in the East, and by a large margin.
