Kristian Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 They'll right the ship the second they play against the Sabres. Yeah, no explaining it. The Sens own us like we own Toronto. Though I think Toronto have come a lot closer to beating us than we have to beating Ottawa, at least in recent memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Finished 6-1. That's five in a row.. Drop Ottawa Drop Heard on the Thrashers telecast that this is their first REGULATION win since Nov 30, 2009.. Ouch.. Nice Ottawa could oblige. How Don Waddell still has a job is a true mystery. Either the ownership group is even more clueless than they appear or Don has some pretty interesting photos to share. Either way, it truly sucks to be a Thrashers fan.

wjag Posted January 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 They'll right the ship the second they play against the Sabres. I agree. The only way to get past this thing is to put a Washington-type pasting on them like 8-1. They sneak by in OT just won't cut it. Buffalo always seems to give up the first goal too. Would be helpful when they do play again to get the first goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just take them to OT and get a point out of it like they did in the last game. I'd be happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Either way, it truly sucks to be a Thrashers fan. The Kovulchuk mess is going to make it worse. Either they sign Yashin-Lite to a long term deal, handcuffing the team to loser status for the next decade or they move him for 50 cents on the dollar. Either way, bend over Thrashers fans.

I'm not going to say Wadell isn't at fault, but the IMO the ownership group down here shoulders most of the blame. It's the true definition of a cluster**** & the team/fans suffer as a result.

Eleven Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Who was their backup goalie yesterday? I know Elliott was ill. Don't know, but they sure didn't need him. Back to back games, the Rags were shut out by a Brodeur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He singlehandedly made a HORRIBLE Amerks team last year respectable. Granted it was the Rags he played yesterday, but I am not happy that the Sens figured out (accidentally) that this guy should be in the NHL.

That ###### Alfie got back this weekend and the team turns on its head.. gah And his NHL stats are pretty darn good. I haven't seen him play at all this year in the AHL, so don't know why the stats are what they are. All I know is if he didn't go to Ra-cha-cha last year, they seriously would have been challenged to have had double digits in the W column; they were that bad; they were ~2-20 when they signed him. He single-handedly made them respectable (not good, but respectable). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpandean Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Alfie with a natural (if your definition requires just successive goal, not necessarily in the same period) hat trick against the Bruins today. Other than the fact that it didn't go to OT, I'm not sure how I feel about that result. Bruins were closer (and still have played fewer games), so our lead in the NE is a little bigger now (well, it's an additional game-in-hand, anyway.) However, if the Sens get healthy and continue to get good goaltending from Brodeur and Elliot (played today), they could make a real push down the stretch. I'd almost rather have had a little more room on them. Besides, after the last two years, until they are locked into the playoffs, I'm happier to see those bubble (6-12) teams sink farther away.

wjag Posted January 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Dramatic finish. 3 on 3 after Spezza takes a PP penalty. Fisher goes end-to-end and beats Halak. 9 in a row.. New record for the Sens.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpandean Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Worst possible scenario. Well, actually, the Canadiens winning in OT might actually have been worse. If there is any chance of the Sabres going into a tailspin over the next couple of months, I'd like that pack of 6-13 teams to be as far away as possible. Boy, it will be nice if/when they get enough points for that feeling (you know, the one supplied by their finishes in each of the last two years) goes away.

The way this team is/has been playing this season is different and I for one do not see that happening. That said I could still see us dropping to 7th or 8th but short of some key injuries I think this team is good enough to make the party. Last IMO on this subject. I like good hockey and if our team can't earn a place and beat teams that are playing good hockey or they aren't playing good enough hockey themselves then they do not really deserve to be there. I do not like the idea of backing in or barely hanging on to make the playoff's , I want them to deserve to be there. The next bunch of games with the current seedings and teams in chase will tell me a lot about this team deserving to be there and thats what I am watching for.
