So the Sens blew another lead yesterday and ended up losing in the shootout. Though they are playing better than they were a few weeks ago, they certainly aren’t playing like they were in Oct/Nov. So if you’ll permit me, I’ll become an armchair quarterback for a few minutes and share some observations and my recommendations.
- Emery needs to work on his stickside. It seems like all the goals scored last night were through the stickside of the net.
- We need a big defenceman. Columbus were clearly running us over in our own zone. If we want to win the cup this year, we’ll need to add more grit in that department.
- Paddock should stick with Emery for a couple more games. He was brilliant in the game vs Philly. He needs some work (see point #1) but I believe he can be our #1. I like Darth Gerber, but he seems to lose all confidence when he lets in a soft goal or 2. That’s not what we need in the playoffs.
- Put a fire under the Pizza line. They’ve been almost non existent since the Habs game.
- Don’t break up the Kelly Vermette Stillman line. They’re producing and are only going to get better.
That’s enough of that. Now to change the mood, here’s a funny video I saw the other day. Enjoy!
