I hope so. A loss like this to a bottom feeder would be a real killer.

It would put us that much closer to a lottery pick.

Lehner is rattled.

Let's get Lehner back in Bingo starting a crap load of games in a row...

Sens win.

1st star Winchester
2nd star Kelly
3rd star Michalek

That is all....

The MSG announcer kept calling Karlsson, Eriksson. It was getting pretty damn annoying.

Congrats Lehner.

Great game by Winnie.

Lehner was a bundle of nerves in the 3rd.

Tidy enough, a little sloppy in parts. Nice game by most, should give a shoutout to Lee, he was very solid tonight.

sorry the ice girls have to clean up the brown around the Sens goal tonight....

Hey, Phillips is amazing. He's the best shutdown defenceman in the NHL. He's the next captain of the Senators.

Yeah, 2-3 months of bad play ought to make us forget that he's been our steadiest defenceman for about 7 years, and out BEST all-round playoff performer year in and year out.

Phillips is the next captain of this team, no question.

To be fair he's had more than just a few months in this one season where he played poorly. Much like a few other core players on this team.

October-November-December and part of January. That's "a few months" when you consider it against the backdrop of his career.

Listening to the guys on TSN last night, they seem almost convinced that Phillips will be traded. Was it me or did everyone else feel that McGuire was showing a lot of love for Sens. Talking about Alfie and his love for tennis. Are we about to hear that McGuire is the front leader for the GM job? Murray mentionned last night that he has considered retiring.

The only way that Phillips won't be traded is if he refuses to waive his NTC.

Also, if I were McGuire, I'd show lots of love for the Sens too. Never hurts to suck up to your potential future employers!

I still think it might be Tim Murray who takes over, but it's hard to say at this point. Not sure how "tight" Tim Murray is with Melnyk.
