Welcome to Sens Nation, everyone! Lots to dig into today. How are you feeling after the 2-4 start?
spence is too small gets moved ,like branstrom
Great show boy's 👏
Spence will be useful in the regular season but totally useless in the playoffs.
The lad is a wee bit lithe.
There’s been a country club vibe with these guys. Chabby’s awesome parties, Timmy chirping veteran Giroux all the time. Perhaps not a winner culture in the core.
Also we need to talk about Zetterlund lol
Green's shelf life is exactly one year. AND change the PK Coach…go to the 4man box tight at the net and box 'em out.
Levi against Buffalo was a bad idea with no upside. Breaking up pinto's line (the only hot line). Sebrango instead of Spence. Starting to wonder about Green
