Game Day - Colorado @ Ottawa, 7:30PM, Thursday, October 13, 2011

I don't think I want the highest draft pick in 10 years going through this season. Give Zibenajed his 9 games if you must but send him back to the SEL. Let guys like Konopka endure this season.

Zibanejad is struggling. What he needs is a couple of games watching from above.

Remember when we thought we had a goalie finally?

He's got 20 goals against in 3 games.... yikes!!!

almost forgot......

we're 3 games in, no need to panic, there's still plenty of season left.....

from what I saw Andersson was left to his own again.. then I had to swith to 1200 and it sounded like a bad effort. take out zib I agree. doesn't have to go thru that.

The Cowen - Gonchar pairing should be made illegal. It is the single worst pairing since Karlsson - Kuba.

Kuba is a nice, steadying influence. Here's a thought -- put Cowen with Karlsson and Kuba with Gonchar.

It couldn't possibly be worse. I realize this will happen, but man...

lol every game is gonna be a dramatic exaggeration around here and on the interwebz.

Settle down, we expected this

Hey - it's 4 games.

Nail Yakupov - 16 points in 7 games.

19 goals in 11 periods for Andy. Not his fault, but OUCH those r some fugly numbers.

meh... are we really that surprised?
i'm waiting to see if and when the coach gets a grip on his players. that wasn't the style he was preaching really and i'm sure we'll hear about it.

Wow.

Someone needs to tell this guy to get his head out of his ***. On the few shifts he's really turned it on he's been one of the best players I've ever seen in an Ottawa uniform. For the rest of the time he's doing squat.

Even with Alfredsson and Michalek (and Da Costa, obviously) really exceeding expectations, this team is dead in the water without Spezza performing.

Pssh. What a bust. Mark Stone has 18 points in 7 games.

Think he stayed at home, wasn't there for the last period either.
