ALFIE GDT: Islanders @ Sens, Thrusday, Dec 4th, 7:30pm (TSN5, RDS)

we are so slow doing anything on the powerplay it's suprising we score on it at all. someone needs to work  on the PP, is that still Cameron's duty? it'a really sad. no one going to the net... urrghhh

Cowen a scratch eh... tells you what they think of Borowiecki. Cowen should not be a scratch though but those are the breaks I guess, can't scratch Phillips.

They've had some good moments in this game, but they need to wake up in the 3rd.

No one is going, period. A lot of standing around.

If they are willing to scratch Cowen for Borowiecki you have to believe that they would be willing to trade him. Maybe I am talking out of my a$$ here but I wonder if that's actually the case?

Michalek is so useless.

IMO if they lose this one the playoffs are done and it's time to start really giving the kids more responsibility and getting a look at guys in Bingo.

I'd love to do that. New coach too please.

Don't need a new coach, you need a guy that can work with the youth here and that might be MacLean. This is now on Murray to make the right moves.

That really is a huge loss though, devastating.

Zbad's best game this season?

Very solid.

ya but who do you move? honestly i'd be all for moving michalek but no one is gonna want him, phillips? Bm won't do it. Neil? Bm won't do it. honestly the only guys that might get moved is a guy like smith, methot in the next 10-20 games, and one of the youth like weir for next to nothing. it really sucks right now.

but by all means if something else can get done then please let them. (but i aint sure about moving Cowen)

Tough to say but they have to do something, gotta move some bodies.

not the same but like edmonton. teams are gonna want our valuable plyers not the ones we don't even want on our team. the best scenario for those guys is sideway trades of just trade a guy like smith for a 4rth rounder. at this point we're not gonna win any trade. maybe methot closer to the deadline might bring a second rounder back and a mid level prospect.

Sens have a lot of pieces and fact is the Sens had a good run for years but like a lot of other things hockey is cyclical and the Sens are now in that down cycle. Years like this will allow the guys like Karlsson to grow into his role, it will allow Turris to find his way in a new role, it will allow Lehner to find his groove, etc, etc, etc.

They aren't making the playoffs and I think these two games sealed it, if they tank I would be disgusted but obviously you hope if they miss they miss big.

Let's wait and see if Phillips is scratched next game, there was no way he was getting scratched on Alfie night.
