Not really. Ottawa has some good Dmen they do not want to lose for nothing. Karlsson, Methot, Phaneuf, Ceci and Wideman are all playing well. Borwiecki and Claesson are rotating in and out of the line up.

If you have to protect Phaneuf in the expansion draft, it means either Methot or Ceci will have to be exposed. Ottawa has as many as 4 young Dmen that will be fighting for permanent roster spots next year (Claesson, Englund, Jaros and Chabot).

I believe the Sens will expose Phaneuf and Borowiecki expecting that the Knights will take Borowieki. I think the Sens will protect Karlsson, Methot and Wideman.

More important, I think the Sens will include Ceci plus a #1 pick and prospect (perhaps Colin White) for a top 6 skater. If that is the case they would certainly hope that Phaneuf remains in Ottawa to mentor Chabot.

If the Sens do a deal at the deadline that includes "a future consideration" statement, you know it will somehow be manipulated to become Ceci at the end of the season (and before the expansion draft).

Ignoring the part where you said you didn't think the knights would claim Phaneuf eh?

Ignoring something doesn't make it go away. Burying your shame just makes you lash out in other ways.

Really good. Sens did better than the other team in some stat categories. And if you do better in stat categories it means you played better. If you play better than the other team you can generally expect to win a game. And an expected win is basically a win.

Especially against a non playoff team. Those are guaranteed wins.

Phaneuf and Ryan also scored which means they produced and aren't overpaid or overrated like you delusional LAFFS fans like to always say.

Enjoy cheering for your loser team. I won't be on for awhile because I'm a better person than you and I'm going to church and also will be travelling for work because I have a job because I'm educated and smart unlike you people.

It's ridiculous they didn't count that and the game didn't go to OT. He would've scored again on Lehner who was a pathetic backup goalie and a great trade by our brilliant GM.

Oh well. At least we got the expected win.

Ottawa has not played Buffalo very well. Eichel played a very strong game and gave Ottawa fits all evening.

according to this site the sens actually have the easiest remaining schedule based on winning % in the conference

http://www.playoffstatus....hl/easternsosrg.html#sflx

it seems like strength of schedule is like playoff odds, each site looks at it differently and shows different numbers...........although I'm not sure why since unlike playoff odds strength of schedule is pretty easy to figure out.

either way, Ottawa's schedule outside of a small stretch in March is pretty soft to end the year.

leafs are the best at finding ways to collect "loser points", 11 so far, best in the league. Ottawa has a hard time scoring a tying goal to give them a chance to "at least get a loser point", and last night was good example of that .................. they had more than the last half of the third period to tie the game, and could not.

Its actually more that they have found ways to give away the extra point. they are near the top of the League for time spent with the Lead, they have had big issues holding Leads.

Thats a big difference.
