Who do you think is the best Ottawa Senator player?

I obviously voted for Alfie and since you can clearly tell I'm biased I will explain and see if it comes of somewhat subjective :lol: .

1 - He plays in ALL situations and plays well in them. The guy can play keep away when his team is killing a 5 on 3 situation.

2 - He can QB a PP, perform first pass duties and he has an uncanny ability to slow the pace of a game and take control of the puck. His shot isn't the greatest but he has great vision of the ice.

3 - He is CLUTCH (sorry had to) He's scored big goals in the dieing seconds of games and none bigger than the double OT winner vs. Buffalo that sent them to the finals.

4 - He practically WILLED two goals vs Anaheim in the final game of the CUP FINAL also.

5 - He leads by example and NEVER takes a shift off and is usually at the top of his game.

I agree with Jordo. When firing on all cylinders, Heatly is the man. Alfie is great as well, don't get me wrong. Alfie is 80% drive and 20% skill. Heater is 40% drive 60% skill. (Spezza is 1% drive, 99% skill)

No one has more drive/spirit/mojo call it what you will than Alfie. He is the heart and soul of the club

can't argue with any of this. this is the "drive" I was talking about.....

I told you guys this would be a tough one

I definitely jumped the gun on voting for Phillips but i still stand by my decision. He gets lost in translation sometimes and i just felt he needed to be represented in this thread lol. But yes this is probably the hardest decision i had to make

No way man, that's a great vote. You know why no one else is voting Volchenkov or Phillips? Because they're not flashy like our killer forwards. They're important though...

OH I agree. Phillips, Volchie and Fisher are all on par with each other IMO. It's Alfie first then those three tied for second IMO.

Hey Heater,

I think we should keep this poll active and see how it changes over the years.

Sure. I'll edit it. Over the year? Or over the years?

Volchie

Years with an S. Actually just leave the Poll intact unless players leave or retire. I want to see how the distribution of votes changes over time so keep the Poll as is.
