ANGRY HOCKEY FANS

Woah now Monsieur Habs Fan, I havent gone anywhere. The Senators pushed thier winning streak to 3 games last night by beating the Rangers in a shootout. Jakob Silfverberg was easily the best player on the ice and seems to finally be comfortable playing at the NHL level. Other Sens rookie and occasional Iranian Mika Zibanejad scored the game tying goal on the powerplay in the 3rd. I thought he was mostly invisible for most of the night but nice to see him get a goal. Would just like to point out the embarassing powerplay unit the Sens were being forced to play on that goal due to injuries. We have Wiercoch and Gryba on the point with Zbad, Smith and Greening up front. thats a total of 130 career points between them. Not good. Most significantly during this game we lost the leagues best goaltender (so far) to injury. Anderson was taken down by Chris Kreider in the crease and left the game with a sprained ankle. Bishop finished the game and looked good despite allowing the only 2 go...

Last night the Leafs shutout our Senators 3-0 in a foreshadowing of the rest of the season. No Spezza, no goals. No Karlsson, no goals. No Michalek, no goals. Anderson can play amazing hockey all season, like he did last night and still the senators arent going to win many games if they can't put the puck in the net. The senators had 3 players make their NHL debuts last night and it showed in the on ice product. Just so you can truly grasp the how inexperienced this team is take a look back at this stat from Silver Seven : "Of the 18 skaters Ottawa has playing (last night), seven of them are eligible for the Calder Trophy as rookie of the year. They are Silfverberg, Zibanejad, Da Costa, Dzirzinsky, Grant, Wiercoch and Gryba. Jim O'Brien misses the cut off by 3 due to playing 28 games last year." Also remember that Borowiecki who did not play is also eligible and that Benoit is not eligible because he's 29 years old despite the fact he had zero games experie...
