Batherson outscored half the 26 forwards who were invited to camp. Should he have gotten an invite?
I wouldn't take it personally.Drake is a core player for Ottawa and will improve his game so he can make team Canada in the future.
150 AHL games will straighten Gabriel Eliasson out
Chabot should be invited to Team Canada camp too. Ridiculous
Heatley should NEVER be allowed in the building, let alone Ring of Honour … how quick we all forget the oxygen that splat of a human occupied. me me me Dany F'in Heatley … kick rocks loser … great show boys!! Keep'em coming!
Chris Neil should be in the ring of honor. He lived sweat and blead Senators. Left it all out there every night took the fight to every team they played. He was the engine for years. Goals don't mean everything. He's what allowed those goal scorers to feel comfortable out there. He's still helping the organization
Had he kept the pace he was on through 50 games last year he'd have been invited. Thats Drakes issue, the guy is inconsistent.
