tell you what, this is a REAL team that works through it's difficulties and gives it their all 9 times out 10. I don't care for Sid, but you can't fault the kid's work ethic - and it seems to be contagious......

That team is something else right now. They're dominating without a great player in Staal and a Malkin who has not been 100% all year.

and Crosby just scored again...I am watching that game, I can't watch the Sens game anymore. Both teams are uber boring at the moment.

Big reason though is having 4 top 2 picks in the line-up. Major reason that that team is where it is. Same with Chicago.

If Ottawa had the fortune of being able to draft a few young franchise players, then they would be a different team too. Edmonton is on its way there.

It looks like we will be getting some high picks very very soon lol

We'd be so lucky. Murray might trade our 1st for Cory Stillman

Tell u what we got....we got an old fashioned goaltending duel

The "fortune" of having finished bottom-five in the league over 5+ years? Really?

Man, this thread is almost as boring as the game.

Come on, spice it up a bit.

Let's rattle those Sabres!

Scott McArthur tweets this:

Sens haven't scored in 153:30. Team record is 187:42 set in November, 1997.

Uhm, yes, really.... or you can be mediocre for 12 years.... take your pick... their 5 years at the bottom earned them a cup.

You have a strange definition of mediocrity, Dash.

Why, because you think the status quo is a good thing? Clearly the team that made it to the post-season 11 years isn't good enough to win anything... and the teams that have won the cup recently, pretty sure didn't spend 11 years in the post-season.

If you are content with the team we have, good for you. I think making the playoffs and exiting for 11 years means something isn't working and the team is not good enough.

I don't know where I wrote it, but I've been saying the Sens D-men need to rush the puck up the neutral zone - and the ONE time they do it, Karlsson almost ends it.

Don't joke, it might actually happen. Although probably be our 2nd.

Still think Karlsson > Eberle ?

Elliott saved the game right there.
