If they gave him 4, 5 straight games and a consistent message lets see what he does then.  The Sens group of 6 D men right now (minus Phillips) can be good to great one day, there's no need to make a move right now short of moving out of or both of Phillips and Methot.

Hopefully Wiercioch can settle in, though I'm not sold.  You know Cameron will go back to Phillips next game though.  Or I think he will.  

Sounds likely to me:

"“It’s not a message because of his play by any means. Chris was benched because we have depth. He’s a big part of this organization but he’s one of the guys we have to rest,” said Cameron."

Made the right call, then decided to wimp out when describing his rationale. Disappointing.

It's called respecting a guy and not throwing him under the bus. Nothing to see here really. But it's not like you can bench him every game.

That's exactly what should happen from now until our next loss.

Oh sure that's cool, don't change the winning lineup. But I was just saying it's not like he's played his last game as a sen lol.

No, I don't think so either, altho' we do seem to be marching in that direction.

I just don't think there's anything wrong with saying he's got to be better. He does. He's been awful for weeks, and it's hurting us. Phillips is not going to get the right message if you tell him we're sitting him for any other reason than that. If DC said one thing in private and another in public, that's fine, I get that. But if the private and public message are the same, that's a problem.

You and your stats...
They both look solid and are the Sens 2 best forwards right now. I don't care if the stat sheet says he had -10 SOG

I already said it but let me repeat -- I'm not slamming Zibanejad, but I feel like Ryan was much stronger last game and, in fact, over the last few games it's been Ryan who makes Zibanejad go rather than the other way around. The guy's playing with a broken finger and who knows what else and he doesn't get half the praise that Zibanejad gets.

I don't see Philly getting traded until MAYBE the deadline next year. He's got family and stuff here.

It'll be a rocky road for him though now that he's a candidate for being scratched.

We won one game. Hardly a streak. Not quite ready to say this is a "winning lineup". That said, the only change I'd make would be replacing Smith with Pageau. Please stay injured, Milo.

Smith got injured, which immediately made me think of Pageau.  I also find smith useless.  

As for faceoffs, there's really no surprise there.  We're weak they're the best - its a bad mix.

I don't think you can criticize Zibanejad really, that line created chances all night.  I can't really think of opportunities to shoot that he passed up - at least he's starting to get the game and play it properly, that's all we can ask for at this point.  

Wasn't criticizing Zibanejad.  He's been on a terrific little run and that (currently) is our top line.  But other than scoring that goal (nice setup from Ryan, btw) and, of course, the one in the SO he didn't make his presence felt like he had in the previous couple of games.  

Speaking of the shootout, both Zibanejad and Ryan are pretty good.  That move Ryan made was filthy, especially after he almost won it in OT on part-A of that move.  And Zibanejad keeps coming up with different ways to score.  

I really don't think Wiercioch had a bad game at all, however I have to admit that I watched a lot of it in FFW mode.

It's Hoffman you're thinking of that set up Zibanejad. It was a saucer pass on a pillow to zbad who had taken advantage of a brutal read by the Boston Dman.

Hoffman is a heck of a little player. Tied for team lead in goals I believe and none of them on the power play.

Hoffman is here to stay. All we need now is a top line LW and a stud D-Man and a #1 C!

I wouldn't even worry about the c right now. Top line lw and number 2 Dman. That should be easy! Sarcasm

I imagine we could trade Anderson, a prospect, and one of our dmen for a top 4 dman or a top line winger at the deadline.

i know macarthur isn't producing so much these days but do you really want to move him off the 1st line? or do you want to slide hoffman down to the 3rd?
i think the biggest focus is a #2 solid D-man. easier said then done.
