    No Scoring and No Fighting

    One reason for less goals is that goalies are given the blue paint and with better and more strict reviews many goals are taken back. We should make the nets 50% bigger and see what happens .

    Babcock: Petr Mrazek is starting Game 1

    Pretty bold moves by Babcock to play Mrazek, Marchenko and Ferraro in game 1

    Nonis Gone

    That was mainly reported by a guy at the Ottawa sun
  5. I don't think it was all that successfu given our history of making the playoffs but don't really think our regular season performance matters unless we don't make it to the playoffs. Otherwise our performance in the playoffs is the important think, look at the Kings as evidence

    Without dats and z they definitely looked faster but obviously that's not enough to not play them. I think Babcock is changing the roster because at this point it's almost like we have nothing to lose. We got the postseason like we needed to and whatever happens after this might not be as important with the team we have now

    I actually like those defensive pairs. As long as E and Kindl are the third pair

    Team next season?

    A suggestion that keeps being made is package Weiss in a deal for Phaneuf. If Toronto really wants Babcock why would they acquire a player he doesn't like. They would take Glendening over him. That might be why the trade didn't happen at the deadline. They don't want to deter Babcock

    I would've brought up Ouellet to rest Quincey because of his bone chips

    Brendan Smith

    I think we should call up Marchenko and Oulette and have them play to show the other guys what to do. I think Kronwall-Marchenko and Zidlicky-Oulette would be great pairs but Kronwall probably won't play tomorrow. Another thing I'm wondering is how good is our development of defensemen at the NHL level. It really seems like we have great defensemen coming from the AHL but as soon as they come here their growth just stops.

    But he's got the size Babcock loves. Too bad it's never used

    DK took a bad penalty right there

    % chance of making the playoffs

    If senators don't get in they ruined their opportunity for a nice draft pick
  18. He was cursed the moment Holland traded for him. -I'm not serious if you're wondering

    Team next season?

    If we did end up getting an offensive RH defenseman I'd much rather have him with DK or Kronwall with DK. Then we could have our offensive guys complimented with a defensively sound partner. Having a shutdown defensive line is nice and all but only works for teams like the devils

    4/7 GDT : Carolina Hurricanes 2 at Red Wings 3

    I know this could backfire but wouldn't it be great to have the senators get points and push the bruins or penguins out? I would much rather have them make the playoffs

    Tatar and Nyquist and Sheahan LINE

    I mean Cod or Haddock would've made a little more sense cause you use tartar sauce with then but they don't sound as cool as tuna

    4/7 GDT : Carolina Hurricanes 2 at Red Wings 3

    For all the shifting of the forward lines and the switching of the goalies Babcock is stubborn with the defensive pairs considering we have Marchenko and Oullette just sitting in the minors after showing they're more than capable

    Tatar and Nyquist and Sheahan LINE

    That would make a line of Helm Cole and Nyquist which kinda sounds great
