Why are you booing this move? Just curious.

What did he show you that you thought he belonged in the NHL? He proved nothing to me.

If you were just booing because you had higher hopes, than fine. But I'm still not sure why you would have had such high hopes.

Likely because Murray came out earlier this summer and said he was the NHL-ready, or the closest of all Bingo d-men.

Z.Smith will NEVER be cut from this team again. Ever IMO.

If Shannon's injury keeps him out of the starting line-up, I expect we'll see Butler up with the big club to start.

Back when we were all guessing at the starting line up for the Sens this year, there really was not much guessing to be honest.

My original prediction:

Forwards: Regin, Spezza, Alfie, Michalek, Fisher, Kovalev, Neil, Ruutu, Kelly, Shannon, Foligno, Winchester, Z. Smith

Defence: Phillips, Karlsson, Kuba, Gonchar, Carkner, Lee, Campoli

Goalies - Leclaire, Elliott

Sub Butler for Shannon if he can't go and sub Cowen for Kuba and that's what I would predict.

^ in a nutshell, that's what the situation always was. They have been awfully quiet on Shannon though. It was precautionary before, but looks like something is definitely up.

With regards to butler, I agree he stays up if shannon is a no-go. But I don't think he'd get in too many games unless some other injuries occur as we seem to already have a seemingly healthy 12 forwards without butler and shannon

You have 13 forwards and 7 defencemen. Who sits in the press-box?

Mainly cause McCormick started punching him before he even had his gloves off. Then wrestled him to the ground when Gryba was finally ready. It was a lame tilt.

That is true, but he got body slammed lol.

That's up to Clouston.

Oh Gryba got the worst of it, definitely. But if they had properly squared off, I think it would have ended differently.

The falling could have been bad since his arms were tied up.
