who's replacing him in? i guess they really want to lose against buffalo. cameron aboard the Tank bus

Not really since Lazar and Turdiss are still playing.

The 2 goal wonder????

*yawn*

Well this sure makes the case stronger for keeping Lehner as opposed to Anderson. Even if anderson comes and takes the reign back I feel they will likely be trading him in the summer

We're bad, Buffalo's worse.

Good performance, but buffalo is horrible.

You must have just watched the first.

Correct. I followed it on yahoo for a while and saw 23 shots in the 2nd or something disgusting like that.

That's exactly what was good about it. Lehner with great saves!

I'll be honest, I haven't watched a game in weeks

Sens were not great last night, they just happened to win that game against the worst team in the NHL in some time.  Lehenr was good, played solid which is basically all I care about at this point short of other guys getting a look or two.

Giving up 20 plus shots in a period to Buffalo is absolutely disgusting but this is a team that has been waiting for management to make a move all year and are expecting guys to be moved out any day now as well. Tough to blame a team that's always waiting for something to happen. 1) it's the older guys that they want to move and 2) the young guys don't know how to deal with it.

It's tough to blame Murray at this point for things because of his health but where does the blame lie?

Myers was the proverbial rose in a cesspool last night.

I would be interested in obtaining Myers. I'm sure it'll be costly though, especially considering his contract, salary, and cap hit are all pretty favourable. Also, Myers is a RD, which isn't exactly where our need is....but he would help insulate Ceci a little bit, and is a better option than Gryba. I guess if we're going to have to give up a bunch of assets to get someone, it would likely have to be for a LD, or more importantly a LW or C. I'm also guessing that Tim Murray would want a first rounder for this draft back for Myers, and I don't see us doing that.

I can't see a scenario where Anderson takes back the reigns other than Lehner gets injured. This team is out of the hunt and it's time to start playing the young guys and seeing if Lehner can take the load of a starter (I'm confident he can).

I think we'll see Anderson go back in the net as soon as he's healthy. He's the better goalie, and Cameron will be trying to win games.

Unless it's painfully obvious, even for Sens management, that we're out of the race, when Anderson is healthy, and the focus becomes giving the youth their chance.

If any RH D man is coming in IMO it should be Wideman, talk about a guy who has been a company man and excelled in the positions he's been put in.  If he was on a decent team in the AHL he would be in the running for AHL MVP.  There's a guy that should be the next callup.  I like Gryba but you are starting to see how limited he is on a team that wants to play with speed and skill.

As for Anderson vs Lehner, I really don't know and I don't think anyone has anything on it other than guesses.  Lehner is starting to or maybe even has turned his game around.  He needs to keep starting and he needs the support of the organization.  He obviously plays better when he's given starts, the once every 2 weeks was and is killing him and his development.  Like I said before you either roll with him or you trade him.  It's not a matter of stealing the job because it never happens, guys are given the ball to run with it for a bit and test the waters.  Every time Lehner is given the ball he scores a touchdown and the organization says "ok, that's enough, Andy's back".  

Just move one of the guys because they are both #1's but one guy has 10-15 years left in him and has been developed by the organization, the other has been a good soldier and the best goalie the Sens have ever had.

If that's the case then they should trade Anderson, there is ZERO point in keeping him on the bench when his value is at an all-time high if they want to run with Lehner. I think it's obvious what the right choice is for the Sens specifically and I think a lot of other people do too. Anderson's best years are going to be spent on a team that's finishing near the basement and out of the playoffs every year? Really? Once again if they keep Anderson over Lehner's it's a case of Murray being way too attached to the players which is already a huge issue. There's respect for a player and then there is stockholm syndrome.
