Ottawa Senators TIDBITS & QUICK HITS!

It doesn't matter what might have happened, it didn't.

Maybe but right now Turris, Zibanejad both are a PPG without Spezza in the lineup (don't think they keep that up obviously), Regin and Smith are both dependable players that don't make a lot of mistakes. IMO this is going to be great for the Sens if you take a long term approach to it and even in the short term they can probably do the job. Da Costa might be an option down the road if they are struggling with offense but 8 goals in their last 2 games without Spezza is saying it's not.

Gonna have to let things play out of a couple weeks to see where they are at.

They wouldn't have scored 5 on Price.

While Thomas certainly had our number, Rask is a great goalie as well. The Leafs games will be tough as well if they continue to get scoring from unlikely sources.

I know it's just one game, but Rask got lit up by Vanek and the Sabres, 7-4 with TV having another 5 point night.

He had been stellar up to that point, and has now had one bad game. Look at his career stats.

Being a puck possession team you would expect them to draw a lot of penalties. The conspiracy is alive and well!

Meh, they are calling everyone tight.
