I don't know if this IS the Sens though? With Spezza gone, they have no game breakers. Alfie is getting old and I'm not going to run down the gauntlet of players and pick them apart, but I think the Sens are in for a rough stretch of games for the next...say 6 weeks.
It's the reality we have to face for the next 6 weeks or longer.
Sorry if this sounds like major over-reaction, but I seriously want Regin out of the lineup. He's had opportunities heaped upon him and has produced 1 goal. I know he really should be given a chance to gel with the new line (and new position) but nearly half way into the season he has 1 freakin' goal having played most of these games in the top-six! And don't give me this crap about him trying. If you're not scoring, you've got to do other things -- Fisher is leading the league in blocked shots because for quite a few games he couldn't initiate contact. He's found a way to contribute. Regin has size and speed, but his forecheck is not where it could be, he doesn't hit and he doesn't block. Face it, he is one of those soft Euros Don Cherry talks about. You can't be soft unless you can score; when you don't score you've got to get dirty and Regin does not.
