It's almost like we play rope a dope with Montreal. They come at us hard for the first 2 periods and Anderson keeps the game close and then they let up in the 3rd and we capitalize. Montreal hasn't scored a single goal in the 3rd.

And yes it is karma. They got away with a lot of crap in Game 3 and now they are crying conspiracy that the NHL wants us to win LOL.

One of the smallest markets in Canada ? Really ?

Galchenyuk scored their 2nd goal and was pretty much benched for the 3rd. That would have never happened here.

That was a bit of a shock. Habs fans are not too happy about that. Odd decision.

The true unsung hero has been Gonchar. Our best D this series period. I would not be opposed to resigning player 55 at all.

Can we give him a number that doesn't have two digits and/or doesn't end in a 5? Poor Bob Cole.

Did we put Bergevin and the Habs staff into a maintenance closet with a window out ?



Look at the wiring and duct tape on the pipes

Interestingly, Conacher was benched for some of the 2nd and most of the 3rd -- 5 shifts in the 2nd, just 2 in the third until he puts him out as the extra forward with the goalie pulled in the last minute. MacLean and his hunches.

Another +. So, so strong. How do they not resign him after this for a season? I think they owe it to each other, both the Sens and Gocnahr to really try and finish off what they have started.

yeah agreed, although i think it's gonna take a 2 year contract to get him to stay but we might get him at 8mill for two seasons.

I think that's a strong point. Both Gonchar and the sens will want to finish what they've started. 1 year, 5 million doesn't hurt anyone.

Agreed! I was really impressed with Smith tonight. He was the only Ottawa player to come out hard and do it for 60 minutes. Phillips was also solid. Those two aside, our passing was brutal, Karlsson was complacent (aside from his rush on his first shift). I was losing my Dung all game wondering why the cuss they didn't have their foots on their throats.

Habs lost that game by sitting back in the third. Still, you have to admire the Sens ability to stick with it and show zero panic. I don't remember a win this ugly but no question, I'll take it

Especially because I've been on smiths case all year. I felt he drove the habs nuts with his forechecking. Hope he keeps it up

Maybe but why not, right? Fact is Gonchar is a HHOFer, he's been good to great for the Sens this year and has been solid the rest of the time. Some might say the first year with Clouston he was awful but w/e, they traded 1/2 the team and fired the coach, not on Gonchar at all.

He's a good guy to have back there for basically any situation, he's seen it all and then some. He's a guy who has more than proven his worth to the Sens and the entire organization and fans, he also plays the right side and is a big LH shot on the PP and can control the play on the PP, something which the Sens don't really have a lot of.

Gonchar in Ottawa works, simple as that.

oh yeah i agree and where we stand at it's not money that's an issue for this team. i'd rather keep him then have to give up assets in a trade where we might receive comparative value(albeit maybe younger)

If he wants 2 years I doubt he gets it here.
