There is very little that I agree with your assessment of anything Senators related.


I'd be more inclined to agree with those who saw Lazar as a poor man's Patrice Bergeron, a hard worker, a solid 2nd-line 2-way center who can score close to 20 goals and be on the first unit PK, when assessed after he was drafted over a year ago.

He has put on about 10 to 15 pounds since then, so he is progressing in the right way.

Lazar has scored 39 points in 180 NHL games. You are beyond help. Bergeron's ass-cheese is more valuable than Lazar.

Not sure. They are saying crowds today may break all records for women's golf. This kid is an amazing role model. She had a 295 yd drive yesterday. Great sports personality. Sponsored by the Sens.

Interesting point brought up on one of the Sports Networks a few weeks ago, they were pointing out that no team has been built around a Winger, and has gone on to win the Cup, since Montreal with Guy Lafleur.

The concensus in the NHL, to put together a Cup contender, is that you build around a Center, and if you look at all the Stanley Cup winners since Montreal with Lafleur, this seems to be quite true.

Imagine if a team had a high scoring Center like Getzlaf, Malkin, Crosby, Tavares, Stamkos or Seguin to build a Cup contender with, instead of a streaky one dimensional winger, who won't play defence or play the left wing (on 5 vs) when asked by the coach.

I know you're not stupid.
I'm sure you've heard this many times.
Stanley cup contending teams are built with strength down the middle, starting with a good Starting goaltender and at least one good two way center.

That is how the majority of Stanley Cup winners have been built.

I know you know this to be true, and realize that the leafs don't have a NHL number one line, two way center, comparable to anyone in the above list.

The leafs are not going to be a Cup contender with a high scoring winger, who won't play a 200 foot game, as their center piece, and building the team around him.

So you agree that the leafs don't have a first line center, that would be part of the puzzle that toronto has been trying to piece together to bring a Cup to toronto.


So how is toronto going to acquire the prototypical first line NHL center? By trading for him, as in the rumours involving Eric Stahl, by drafting him, as in Nylander?

Please explain to us, how a team jammed up against the ceiling of the Cap, with a payroll full of expensive, cap busting, long-term, untradeable, albatross contracts...........is somehow in a better position going forward, that another team stocked with young dynamic players and prospects, that has practically the most Cap space in the NHL????


One team can't trade of move players to open up Cap space to bring in the players they need to become a Cup contender, while the other team does not have to trade of move anyone they don't want to, can sign any free agent, can trade for any player because they have zero cap issues.


It's quite clear that the team with Cap flexibility is in a way better position going forward than one which cannot improve it's roster through trades of UFA signings.

Karlsson is great, you should enjoy him this year and next and when he's a UFA after the 2018-19 season, Eugene will be checking the change in the couches (in vain) to try to re-sign him. Sorry Spatso

After hockey my second love is business. Your a fool to say nobody cares about women's golf. Right now the women's tour is dominated by superb Asian players, primarily South Korean players. The tour, broadcasters and media are desperate for a fresh face and it turns out that Brook Henderson is first in line.

She is a huge story. Time to move out of your mother's basement, cut back on your drinking and get a life

Sure Eugene: How much do you need? Keep in mind that the piece of sh!t Phaneuf makes $7 mil a year and based on that you will need $14 mil X 8. Never mind that the Sens are 20th in league revenue, 21st in attendance and can't sell out playoff games.

Not sure of your point.

Not going to find anyone who is an Ottawa fan who will defend Melnyk.

Perhaps your not aware that Melnyk hacked some of the Ottawa threads on this site a few years ago because of the hostile commentary about his financial management.

Your not going to find any support of sympathy for Melnyk here.

Our best hope is that the multi billion project at LeBreton will result in his disappearing into the past as the new big money comes to the table.

Melnyk has been broke for a long time.

You need to check out the golf channel this afternoon and you might be stunned to discover the interest.

When you say nobody cares and, clearly, she is vey big sporting news...it becomes more about you and your disconnection from what is happening around you. This kind of isolation and the painful nature of much of your posting is like a cry for help.
