GDT: Sens @ 'Canes

Anderson hasn't been good this season, not sure how you can argue otherwise.

I hate when the sens go brain dead in games like they did yesterday for a good 6 minutes that lost us the game. I don't know how you stop that....but I know a timeout might be a good idea, especially after the 2nd goal.

It's all P-Mac-Daddio's fault, really.

Meh, yesterday was a tough game less than 24 hours later. That Greening goal goes in and it's probably over.

BUT they can't afford to not be the best team on the ice right now no matter the circumstance. This team has lost the benefit of the doubt the rest of the season and anything except an 100% effort is unacceptable.

They will likely lose both washington and vancouver games. And Aflie's return to ottawa + the new rivalry between wings/sens will make for a very difficult matchup on sunday.

Could be 9-14-4 by the end of this week. Will heads roll? Trades? Something will have to give....

I will be amazed if they can win 2 out of 3 this week at least. Lost 5 of 7 in regulation. Pathetic.

My point all along is that it's a team thing and you can't pin on or two players game in and game out. Even if is Lehner is the better goalie, Anderson gives you just as much of a shot at winning because it really doesn't matter who's in net at this point. The team in front is playing like garbage and the coach is doing nothing to fix it, quite frankly.

I personally prefer to place all the blame on the Alfie.

I totally disagree with that point. You look at both goalies numbers and it's pretty clear who gives the Sens a better shot of winning at this point.

I think his point was that the Sens would find a way to lose even with Hasek in his prime.

Lets say that Lehner gives you a better shot at winning, chances are you will still lose. Not sure what else to add except that I'm right, as usual.

You mean you prefer to place the blame on The Euge, where it rightfully belongs.

So does Gryba, and he's a rightie, and he's +6 (that last one is for NEELY )

Debatable whether Gryba brings toughness... if he had more of a mean streak I think he could be an every day NHL D man. I love Gryba in the 6, 7 spot. Brings something to the right side that no one else does.

Ever since he kablammo'd Eller, he hasn't been the same.

Or maybe since his collision with Orpik.

Think this one might be a little more accurate.

Yeah, I think it was the Orpik hit more than anything. Something happened to say the least with his game. It went from fantastic and simple last year - to a cluster**** this year.

Yeah, I forgot that one.
