  1. Ullmark has to do down to the AHL and play himself into shape. NOW. He's way too soft. No bearing down at all. His head isn't in it. Enough. Guys are busting their hump in front of him but Linus is asleep. Enough. He has to go down and play.

  2. Put Hamonic on waivers and give his spot to JB Docker. How Hamonic is still in the NHL is baffling. I can only assume it's because he used to play for Travis Green in Vancouver and Green likes him and can't admit that Hamonic is not the same reliable defenseman he was four years ago.

  3. The Sens are what they are. They’ve been this for years. It’s hard to expect massive change from a group when making roster changes around the edges. It’s the same core.

  4. Players that were traded improved, because there were players/system on that team, which helped them elevate their game. This maybe one of those scenarios where keeping a player isn't benefiting the team. It will always be a hit and miss. You can't be scared to take chances.

  5. To think where the Sens might be now if Dorion didn't trade away two Top 10 goalies this year in Gustavsson and Daccord…

  6. Couldn’t agree more about the Sens. They’ve got to do this on their own. It’s time to get past this. And yep, a few more saves would be great.

  7. Staios can use all the words he wants. It’s the same old same old. You knew all these things before the year started.

  8. Maybe there is too much change. The sens got to figure it out. You have to stop this November curse, or people are going to believe that it can’t happen.

  9. Make 2 trades.Calgary won't sell the farm right now,but Anderson is wanting 8 million plus,this is where Ottawa can step in with JBD and David Perron.Calgary is in a playoff position and could make a trade for a vet.
    JBD,and Perron for Rasmus Anderson,then trade Claude to Winnipeg for Morgan Barron.
    Your d pairings would look like this.Anderson Chabot,Jensen and Sanderson,Zub and Tyler Klevin.
    Barron is a big middle six player,if he isn't that high end player you want then Nino Neidereitter.2 moves to solidify your d and a big ,6'4" 220 pound good player.Take a look at what Vancouver did o ce they picked up the players I suggested,they went to the Conference finals.Listen to me and you guys will be in the conference finals or the cup.
    Build a team don't draft one

  10. I love how this guy who just comes into the organization on his shiny pedestal with Andlauer, has the nerve, the audacity to say to the fans he doesn't think this is a dire situation. Let me just say before i post some very important facts for everyone to know & hopefully you copy and paste everywhere, WE AS THE FANS or just people who live in ottawa and may want to watch hockey games. as a community we need to make the canadian tire centre a ghost town. NOBODY go to any games until these lazy bums step up and actually go out there and play like actual NHL players. in 7 years almost 8 years this team has managed to hire and fire over 6 coaches, has managed to lose some good talent to other teams, has one of the worse loser culture ever which is contagious and spreads to anyone playing for this team. Look at how many players this team has drafted only to lose to other teams and watch them become great. I can go on but i think i will let the stats speak for itself. this is the stuff TSN1200 doesn't want to admit or say consistently.. its about time we stop giving this team a pass by giving our money and attention to them. enough. CUT THEM OFF, tune back in when they are an actual NHL TEAM…
