Just watched it late tonight.  Lots of initial thoughts.  

Andy played fine...as he did last year before they hung him out to dry and messed up his confidence...then they messed up Lehner's confidence....then we were screwed after New Year's.  My point?  Goaltending hasn't been our problem.  It won't be this year.

Lines outside our top line need to find themselves.  All of them....  the good news?  We have 81 of 82 games left! :)

Karlsson seemed to be cautious.  Maybe that C is heavy...  Maybe that's a positive.  Possibly a huge positive.  I believe he'll straighten out who he is in the next 15 games.  I don't think he's full of s--t when he says it means a lot to be captain.  It looked like a lead C tonight.  I respect that he was focused out there.  He needs to chill out and will.  The C will get lighter!

Methot wasn't in so.....

Murray acquired all these Dmen and even if you have 8 of them it sure the heck doesn't mean all 8 can play winning NHL hockey

Ok, yes, it was just one game, and things can change in a hurry.

 

but, if the D continues to play like they did last year, and the second half of last nights game, who do you blame? Do you assume it's the personnel, or do you blame the coaches? Are those players really that bad? Did they get this far being that bad?

 I'm starting to feel that way toward Cowen, I realize he has to watch the front of the crease but if Shea Weber is skating free behind the net to a wide open net on the other side it would behoove Cowen to slide back and pick up the man with the puck. How bad is Weircioch if he can't play better than Cowen?  If they can't get the puck out any better than they did in the 3rd period it's going to be a long year for the goalies again.  Lastly Hoffman had zero puck luck on that shot in the 3rd that hit the inside of the post on his shot on the ice, he clearly beat Rinne and it just didn't go in.

Anderson has been very good tonite, but the coverage this period was just awful at times

Why is Volchenkov so suddenly relevant???


 It's a rule.  Every single former Senator has the best games of their career when they play us.
