GAME DAY #65: Lightning @ Senators - 7:30 pm - Thursday, Mar 3, 2016

Countdown to the draft: 113 days

Oh tell me about it. Ryan is absolutely invisible. But Chiasson, man. He just brings nothing special to the table, even in a good game.

Meanwhile Prince scores for the Isles and Sens twitter collectively goes "SEE???!"

Watch the leafs beat us on Saturday

Needed a close to perfect week to stay alive. Instead I think they're gonna go 0-4 now that wheels are coming off.

We've been done for a while. The kind of run that happened last year is history-making, once-in-w-lifetime. Won't see another one (and if we do, it would be a different team).

Also they played so much better with confidence. You just knew they were gonna win, just not the same feel this time around.

Not to say they played bad tonight. I thought they played fairly well and hit a couple posts too. But alas I think that's what going to frustrate our boys. Karlsson I think already is thinking about the world championships, he's had quite a few rough games in a row.

Karlsson, Ryan, Hoffman and apart from the hat trick, zibanejad. Sheesh it's not been good.

Positives? I like what I see from Cody Ceci, he's got some confidence to him. Our power play has sucked for a while now, i really think it needs to be switched up and allow Ceci some time on it. I think everyone has figured out how to stop our PP (although we looked good tonight).

Tough game to lose...and to bishop too. He's really got their number.

Remember after the Sens interviewed him and everyone here went nuts imagining them somehow getting him? That was good times.

Actually I really do hope Prince pans out so this can signal that our evaluative methods of talent from our coaching staff leaves a lot to improve. We are by far not where we should be in that department.

I remember... And then we breathed a sign of desperation.

This fine youngster will bring that confidence to the negotiating table and end up with a fat contract. I like how he confidently ices the puck all the time because he doesn't know how to clear the zone or hit anyone with a pass. "puck mover" indeed.
