Some of the comparisons are eerily similar.

It confirms to me that we need more scorers.

Wow, look at Elliott and Fleury's numbers. Freaky!

I can't believe that not even one of our guys has 20 goals yet. I'd like to see the expanded summary of both teams skaters. We probably have more 7-8-9 goal guys then they do.

Our scoring is fairly effectively spread out, we're no longer a one line team.

Although we haven't gotten as much punch as expected, namely Spezza. I
think the Sens expected Folignno and Shannon to have better numbers as
well.

And then there's Cheechoo, whom the Sens have publically stated they expected 20ish goals from, he might not even get that in the rest of his contract assuming he stays.

This is what we wanted though, right? No more one trick pony, one line BS, but a lineup that can sting you from the top to the bottom.

That's what I want for sure. No more 1 line doing it all. Everyone pitches in. It's fantastic!

For sure, they should've produced more this season, especially Foligno. I thought he'd have a 20 goal year easily.

I was more hoping that our 2 - 9 goal guys would be on the bottom 2 lines, though. I'm sorry. I can't get on board with this "hooray we have secondary scoring now" line of thinking. Primarily because we don't really have it.

Well, we're 11th in the league for goals for, so it's not like we've exactly been struggling to score either. If anything, given the fact that our top end talent has missed so much time, it indicates that we have the most balanced scoring it would appear in team history.

Well we have secondary scoring in that we're not relying on 1 line to score in order to win.

But the other lines aren't scoring as much as expected, Fisher is the only real surprise on the scoring front.

We have far more disappointments.

First post updated with a few game day previews.
