I must admit...a teeny part of me is somewhat relieved that we didn't squeak by Carolina. I had visions of Ottawa mopping the ice with us, the way they are clicking right now.
I'd get rid of Rivet befrore Souray.
Souray makes some big blunders sometimes, but he's an offensive weapon.
Rivet is just 'competent' out there...I can't really think of anything that he does particularily well (besides being a veteran presence).
Damn right....I'd love for the Sens to gloat....I know I'll be calling into some sports talk shows and roasting Leafs fans hard if that happens.
It's so easy to hate the Leafs and their fans...
It'd be nice to be able to afford Elias AND Arnott, while still getting a top D-man...but that's doubtful.
Bert is overpriced and a scumbag...I hope Bob isn't thinking about getting him.
Because if we don't, we'll lose Danis. Abey is as good as he's ever going to get, and with his solid games at the end of the season, he has some trade value.
shortcat1.....
Huet stops that puck 100 times out of 100 if it doesn't flutter off of the stick....PERIOD.
It was a harmless play other than the tip...Rivet has him contained to the outside...there's no need to take that desperate swipe at the puck.
It's not just frustration that made me say that....I don't think much of Rivet.
I like the traffic in front of the net, and the newfound enthusiasm on the forecheck. When Mike Ribeiro finishes a check, you just know that's a good sign...
I think that we could get away with an average effort if only our power play would start clicking again. An additional power play goal or two in the past 3 games would have had us in the driver's seat or had the series won outright.
And, btw...I have disagreed with Bob, but I'd definitely stop short of calling him an idiot. I'm sure he learned a thing or two playing as part of the dynasty.
