Ottawa Senators TIDBITS & QUICK HITS!

It doesn't work that way though. Benoit came in and did exactly what was asked of him - plus he'd need to clear waivers. Murray and Mac would much rather keep him in the NHL and scratch him than risk losing him - especially in a shortened season with an old man as one of your top 4.

I'll admit, Benoit needs to avoid having an off game again, but he's won the benefit of the doubt for the rest of the season barring a trade - that's my opinion, we'll see if it actually shakes out that way or not, but I think that's what will happen.

As for a RHD - we need one bad. We've needed one bad for a while and matters are getting dire. People can see now that a leftie playing the right side is a bad idea, limits options badly on what they can do - especially in the defensive zone.

It was driving me mental yesterday every single time Lundin, Gonchar, or Benoit would come around the boards and be forced to dump it out on their back... it either barely got out, they fanned, or was kept in. RHD is a must going forward and I am not sure how they will go about it.

Also, I am not in any way saying Benoit is going anywhere but another game like that and they will start to question it. I also think they rather him stay in Ottawa as a healthy scratch than send him back down.

It's really obvious too - even in the offensive zone. Wrong handed players get pinned along the board all the time instead of being able to make the proper plays.

If they didn't have Karlsson playing 30 mins a night it would be even worse.

so Bishop didn't have the greatest game last time. there's not telling what he could look like in the next one. we've been so enamored with Andersson that we fail to see that Bishop is probably more then capable of doing a fine job for us.
let the guy play saturdaya and let's win this one.

So, we finally have a Saturday night game! But my kid has a game at 8. Hasn't had a game in two weeks and then the first one right when the Sens have one of their rare Saturday night games. My son was telling me the other day how he asn't yet seen Coach's Corner this season.

Yes, good news that we won't have to miss it, but it means the Sens still haven't been on HNIC this season. Unreal. Started last year. Did they make some kind of deal with the league or the Leafs? Maybe a deal with the refs?

I think bigotry is a little different. Misogyny, perhaps? Sexism.
