Yes but what about the "tanking." You know, the process of delighting fans by losing games constantly?

Given that we're 6 points out of 28th, the dream is alive and well, Anderson or no Anderson.

No worries there. We'll put him in against a tougher opponent at home and all will be well in that regard.

Sweet! Losing is awesome.

He's been able to get on hot streaks though, so it's not a for-sure loss... his last 4 games were 19 goals on 86 shots (0.77 sv%); the 5 games before that he only let in 10 goals on 131 shots (0.92 sv %)

Take away his last 4 games and he'd have a about a 0.92 sv % for the season

Yeah, I was gonna say the same. McElnerdo was really hot for a while. Probably a poor man's Elliott (haha).

We should all agree to just call him "Mac".

McElHinney is that hard of a last name to remember ?

I thought it was "McEhlinney".

No. Just to spell.

The "H" isn't supposed to be capitalized I guess.

I thought he was the heir to the Tabasco fortune?

No, that's McElhenney.

Who is the heir to the Tobacco fortune then?

Okay. Sorry I helped get us side tracked here. I really don't care what happens with Curtis M. If he works out great. If he doesn't I'm sure there are plenty of stop gap options available.

It's Anderson that is the big concern.

Yes. McElhinney's are, apparently, a dime a dozen. Except for that Tobasco guy.

He hasn't exactly posted stellar numbers last few years. Not sure he'll stay.

Can't see serious contract talks with Anderson starting until the season ends.

Agreed. Mac's here for now. If he stays, let's hope our number 1 can play 85% of the games next year. If he goes, meh.

Anderson, on the other hand, is a major priority. Holy Dung, has he been good so far or what? The games are so much fun to watch with the combination of youth and quality goaltending. Even when the team is losing, the games are so much fun.

Have I mentioned yet that I'm excited about this team going forward?

Sweet, sweet victory imminent for the might Sens?

more to come

Greening with his first...

Gonchar is wearing the other 'A'??? Who has to get injured before Neil gets a letter??? Does Clouston just hate him or something?
