GAME DAY: Tampa Bay Lightning @ Ottawa Senators - 7:00pm ET - SAT. Jan. 8 2011

Son of a.... Fisher gets injured blocking a shot and the puck gets cleared right to St. Louis for the go ahead goal.

Well, Montreal just tied their game.

We've got no offensive system at all, geez. Bring on RNH or someone....

The big question: does Clouston get canned?

If Fisher is hurt, can we have Greening or Condra - or someone fun? Thanks.

Dunno, they can't score - is that on him?

Every Locke has it's key

I realize that we have injuries, but -- much as I love them -- watching Winchester and Shannon on our powerplay is as clear a sign as any that this team needs to rebuild and pick up some forwards in the draft.

On the plus side, I get to go from watching...um...that...to watching Wings - Nucks.

It'll be all the sweeter for it.

no, it's certainly not on him, but.........

Kind of hope Fisher's going to miss a few games just to see a new face.

And of course this is all going to benefit the Sens in their destiny for a lottery pick.

Clouston's got the boys playing a great game. Unfortunately the refs turn a blind eye to most of what Tampa does...and then kovalev Cussing gives the lightning a gift...this is getting frustrating now. Stupid stupid stupid plays

I feel for clouston....I really do....the cards he's dealt are just not good enough

Clouston felt the team played well enough to earn the 4 points this weekend. Thought they deserved better fate.

Clouston liked the effort, but on the lack of scoring he said "You can lead a horse to water, but sometimes you can't make him drink."

I agrEe....u get the feeling he knows the end is near. A damn shame if u ask me...

True, he's due a shot.

Ugly...

Is anyone clear on Locke's status? Does he have to clear waivers to go back down?

How about both. Add in Butler & Locke as well. Sit the underperforming players and let these young guys go to it.
It makes no sense now to make a 'run' at the playoffs. Double digits out now with the Mtl win tonight (curse them) and Sens loss.

Send back Lehner to play in Bingo -- he needs some games down there. Bring up Brodeur he was last night & tonight.. so looks like his 'game' is back. Let him play in Ottawa. Shut down Leclaire for the rest of the year... his injuries are getting pretty ridiculous.

Donkey rodeo.

Not sure if you saw my post from last week sometime but in it I mentioned that Leclaire is not only injury prone, but he is as soft as they come. He is unwilling to play through any discomfort; no matter how small.

It is a bad combination.
