Ottawa Senators TIDBITS & QUICK HITS!

And all is right with the world... The One on top of all the stats... as it should be...

Turris is leading the Sens in points at 11... with Karlsson right on his heels with 10...

Really, really hope Murray is the one that makes the deal for ROR. Just a guy that you know will win a cup and be a huge part of it. Who ever lands him will have a gem on their hands for a very long time.

He's just blinded me with science:

Anyone have any idea what the hell he is talking about? Can anyone explain CORSI to me like to a 5 year old?

ROR would fit in here nicely. The price will be large though. Big trade for ROR, or HUGE trade for Perry?

Nah, I'm good.

Beautiful!



I called for #SO4Andy two days before the game and the #Sens came through.

I think this explains Corsi:

Corsi number is the number of shots directed towards the net while the player is on the ice. The number can be broken down into whose net the shots are directed towards (their own net (-) and their opponent's net (+)) similar to the plus minus statistic. The hope of course is that the Corsi plus minus would correlate well with the regular plus minus, but because the numbers will be 16x larger than plus minus numbers they'll be about 4x more accurate than the plus minus numbers

The Gregger for the win.

Are you saying that reminds you of Hollywood Squares?

What about the Brady bunch? Here's a story, of a tall-bald goalie, who was toiling in a place he didn't like ...

Oh, and of course the refrain would go "The Pesky Sens, the Pesky Sens ... that's the way they became the Pesky Sens."

Is it really that simple or is there more to it?

As far as I understand it, this is it. Shots (on net, missed, blocked) directed towards your net are a (-), at the opponents net are a (+).

I choose to believe that it's this simple. Ignorance is bliss, and I'm happy as a clam.

Sens are getting some bad press in Toronto in regards to blocking seat sales to Leaf fans...

"It all sounds preposterous coming from a franchise that was bankrupt a decade ago and plays in a middle-of-nowhere parking-lot rat shack where, by my eyewitness estimation, a half-hearted R.I.D.E. sweep could land great numbers of its car-bound faithful a roadside suspension or worse."

Is it bad that I thought the same thing?
