GAME DAY:Buffalo Sabres @ Ottawa Senators - 7:30pm ET - TUE. Jan. 25, 2011

Just got in from the game. One of the most boring games I've ever seen until the last 6 minutes or so.

Alfie looks old.

My kid for got to pad it

I got to watch about a minute and a half of OT before it stopped. What happened to the Barfalo player in the boards. The guy was crawling off the ice on all fours, but the hit didn't look at all bad.

The fact that we came back and got a point out of this stinker is quite obnoxious. We need skill so bad it's laughable.

So um, if 94 points is the cut-off for the playoffs, the worst we can do is 20-0-12 in our remaining 32 games.

Also, what the CUSS right do we have not playing Butler 25 minutes a night when he's a goal-scorer. What the cuss? We have too much goal-scoring that we can't allow a goal-scorer to try to score goals?

Yet another game where Phillips was absolutely terrible.

They forced OT? Cuss, just what we need, another parity point.

Oh well, at least they didn't win.

Edmonton and Florida won, though. But the Leafs and Islanders are useless.

I was half asleep. At one point I turned to my friend and asked if we were in fact watching 2 NHL teams. This team is truly a joke.

I've thrown the towel in on Elliott. I don't want that guy back next year, his confidence seems to have been torn to shreds.

I've been a Phillips supporter for a long time, but he's showing me nothing, I wouldn't be upset at all to see him move on.

Snow on the mountain was good today. So what did I miss?

We gotta be the worst team in OT this season.

What a finishing touch: sens win a grand total of 1 game in January

Don't diss our future captain like that

Karlsson deserves an assist on the OT winner.

Kelly has been fantastic for the past few years and his goal was highlight reel worthy.

Just watched the replay. You can't get an assist if you don't touch the puck but OMG, where was he going? Just casually drifting away from the crease -- not really skating to the corner to help Phillips (as if), not glancing back to see who's minding the store (umm *him* supposedly).

Hands of stone on pace for a career high 18 goals this season with a real shot at cracking 20. He's definitely a guy the Sens need to hang onto even if there's a complete tear down and re-build.

I'm talking about when Karlssson, unpressured, had an easy opportunity to clear the puck and instead made a perfect tape to tape pass to the Buffalo player waiting near the blue line. It was less than a minute later that the goal was scored I'm pretty sure.

Yeah and that is the problem. He's playing so well that his value is going to be at an all time high, but he's still a great guy to have around. If Fisher and Phillips are moved I seriously nominate this guy for the 3rd "A".

Maybe you hold onto him until his contract year and see what happens. Would not object to a renting out of him, cause I would want him back. And if he goes and gets a cup and brings that experience back here all the better.
