Wiercioch was the only D that provided offense.  Karlsson did not have his A-game.  Looked tired.  Kept giving the puck up, slow to make decision with the puck.  

I would have preferred Greening over Chiasson.  The kid needs to sit a few games.  Not sure what Ceci was trying on the second goal but both he and Anderson way over-committed giving Ericksson an easy tap in.

OK, I'll come out and say it.  Should have kept riding the streak.  Don't care how good Anderson is, Hammond was better even if we know it wouldn't last.

Just compare it to Edmonton and Toronto.

Disagree.  Ceci struggled, true, has been struggling a bit for a few games.  But Weircioch had a god game.  Second in ice time, so Cameron thought so, too.

Did you see how Wiercioch played on that 2nd Bruins goal?

1/ He's first entering the zone
2/ Zibanejad and especially Hoffman are wide open on his wings
3/ He doesn't pass, fends on the shot, loses the puck
4/ Breakaway for Eriksson

Can't wait until this scrub is replaced by Cowen as he should have been 4 games ago.

A clear cut loss should precipitate change. You can pick at Wiercioch and Cowen all you want but there has only been one constant on that pairing.

Gryba and Boroweicki play the same way every single game, consistent is exactly how I would describe that pairing.  They don't seem to make mistakes and if they do they are minor because they just don't take risks.  IMO that's the 2nd pairing in Ottawa right now, not Ceci/Wiercioch/Cowen.

The one player that has had his struggles lately is Ceci, he might be the guy that takes a seat for Cowen.

Can you explain how you disagree that the Sens have gotten a good number of good NHL players in the last 7 drafts? It appears that you're disagreeing based on, at most, "a few games."

I'm having trouble understanding the connection between "We got a ton of good players the last 7 drafts," and your disagreement.
