i have nothing against them. Stand up players

Whaaaat?! They should get fined and suspended just for the matching goatees.

These guys just need to play more together...

My reactions during the game:

Frig. Karlsson's gotta come back to help out there... come on man.

How is it possible to hate a team so much when we only play them o twice a year???!

Karlsson needs Kuba back so badly. Anyone suggesting he is worthless, well, The Sens have 1 win without him.

Well that toughest stretch of the season is off to a smashing start

That doesn't excuse his piss poor play tonight. Unacceptable effort

Other than the five on three, have they had a powerplay goal since he's been out?

don't think so either.

What fiasco. Time to blow this Dung up.

That was pretty bad. That 5-on-3 was embarrassing. Shoot the puck. How can everyone on the ice be thinking "pass first"?

Regin wasn't overly impressive. Other than that one play (2-on-1 with Alfie), I didn't find him very noticeable. First game back, but still.

5-on-3's have always been an issue... a lot of teams don't even practice them so while it seems like it should be a no-brainer, often they are less effective than a 5-on-4 for some reason. But, that was very frustrating to watch. Not even a shot on net.

5 on 3's run through Spezza on the 1/2 wall. He's honestly clueless out there.

It's a freakin' re-build. What did you expect?

This young team cannot compete with the elite teams yet. They are okay against the mediocre and middle-of-the-pack teams.

I think some of you expect too much too early from the Sens. Blow up a re-building team?

Also -- thought it was funny that the write up of the game on TSN -- they had Sergie Gonchar as a healthy scratch.... just goes to show you... Sens get no respect from the Toronto media.

Missing Gonchar and Kuba is proving lethal for us. Diddle I hate losing...

Not to defend Spezza too much, but Greening has to drift a little higher in the slot to force the Canuck Dman to choose between cutting off the passing lane to Michalek at the side of the net or Greening in the slot.
