3/4 of the team still on the plane. DJ doesn't do himself any favours either. The look on his face when he pans to Capuano has gone on for over 3 seasons, just so lost!

Oh look....they are giving up 20 plus shots in a period again.

Cant expect to win getting out shot 7 to 1.

And there is no Dzone 5 on 5 breakout ability.

Even Dean and Gord are saying they are being mauled and how awful both the coaching and D zone play. They said they are beyond lucky to only be down 2-0.

The scrums after the whistle....every Sen on the ice looks smaller than the FLA guys. We seem to have a small forward group outside of Brady and Watson. Either that or the FLA forwards are all huge...

Not sure exactly what the answer is, but OTT lacks some bite and size on that back end. They have zero physical threats outside of maybe Hamonic? My first thought is, they are just way too easy to play against.

Simmer saying if Zub gets to free agency he gets a 7 year deal......his value is sky rocketing after that period. I wrote it about it today in my blog and sure enough it's happening! DJ dressing Zaitsev and not Heatherington.....heck PD not calling up JBD or Thomson.....my goodness.

Another outstanding performance by DeBrincat terrifying the Panther team with his deadly sniper's shot, dazzling playmaking and punishing physicality. I've been listening to Ottawa sports broadcasters singing his praises incessantly and now I can see why. If only we had a few more of these guys.

Another hero I've been hearing about is Sanderson and I can see why. He just dominates Florida when he's on the ice. Same with Brannstrom.

We've got them where we want them now.

lol Garrioch telling us nothing as usual.

And why is Bruce even in Florida?

Talbot Forsberg and the other guy. Make room for him by sending Zaitsev down. Ask Motte to play defense

You would think TSN could get anyone with half a brain better than Garrioch. He is actually hated by many of the mainstream media members in the city. He is quite awful to people, the stories are wild.

The media does try to put him on a pedastal for some reason. He looks very small in a game like this.

I do think the Sens need more size on defence. They have enough skill. They want more banging, especially in front of their own net.

cannot argue that Brady not worth his contract or that he cannot score VS strong teams anymore, he is killing it so far

so far very underwhelimg goal wise for Cat, if he cannot find his game OTT should trade him at the deadline or in the off season, he is not scoring as a 9M player

I think DeBrincat will get his goals. He has a huge release and it will come.

But, he represents the potential for a huge return if they ever did decide to move him because they could not agree on the terms for a contract.

No serious Cup contender will take him even for free.

Just turned on the game, shot totals are quite disconcerting

Well if his agent knows that he might be signing in Ottawa sooner than we thought.

Lots to criticize, but holy smokes Forsberg is earning his contract right now.
