Get your ass back here, Kat. This place is the home of Sens smack talk. Just blast him on something he says, we'll all make fun of him and its all good.
My comment wasn't directed at you personally Kat, and in fact Pan and I disagreed on this very point on our latest episode. I've long been on the record for being tired of constantly-complaining fans for whom, it seems, anything less than a game-3-vs-Montreal-in-2013 isn't good enough, and there were lots of Twitter/radio call-in/email complaints that this game was boring.
I'd rather see a win, no matter how boring, than a loss no matter how exciting, as two points are more important to me than whether the game was filled with edge-of-the-seat-moments. If you feel differently, that's fine, as we all see things through the lens of our own opinions and our listeners do share them with us via email, via Twitter, and via these forums.
I'm late to the game here but just saw this and must say --- everyone has an opinion. That's all it is.
I don't get caught up in this "real fan" biz. I figure anyone who spends time watching , reading or contributing to a forum, twitter, etc. is fan enough :)
If the choice is between an "exciting" game, and one that isn't perhaps as interesting but is a win, I'll take the win. Every. Single. Time.
I don't think this team is going to be the Devils of years past, but I think people complaining that a game is 'boring' is just another in the monotony of complaints from the short-attention-span sect.
Well geez Kardinal, terribly sorry to not live up to your high expectations for what makes a "real" Sens fan. Can't imagine why your forum isn't attracting a lot of attention. Guess I'll be off now, since I clearly have too short of an attention span to bother hanging around.
Don't leave us Sens Kat! I still like you! Now...where'd that shiny red ball go....

I remember last year we got out to a disastrous start and never recovered, so I'm glad we're getting these October wins... they'll count when we're potentially scrounging for a spot in April.

Yeah, it wasn't a high-paced exciting game, but for the most part the team didn't play badly. Just boringly. lol. Andy was solid, didn't have to make any big flashy saves, but his positioning was great all night, and pucks seemed to just keep hitting him - always a good sign.
Thx SensKat and Kardinal for posting during the game. Just landed and it's always good to be able to follow the game thru the thread--especially when they win.
Send an email praising the game threads and how much fun they are. Perhaps more will join the fun that way!
Few empty sections on the forums as well, this game. Thanks SensKat for providing the highlights, apparently NHL.com doesn't anymore (I mean they're still not up there yet).

I'd rather sit through games like that than games where the Sens lose. I'll take a boring win over an exciting loss every day of the week. I guess I've watched too many NJD games in my lifetime.
