Someone please look it up and tell me the last time the 3rd or 4th line scored? I would think it was the asham goal, which was more than a month ago...

i dont feel too bad after tonights loss for some reason. they showed a lot of good things. but just didnt have it at the end. maybe it will teach them to score when they can, early.

@GLENsatherVSglennDANZIG totally. They played a close game even though they were shot and Ottawa was all in.

Sucks, but not heartbreaking. They were shot and Sens were all over it. Chalk that one up to the schedule. Miller looks really good.

Richards and Gaborik are trying very hard to get that buyout, they are both a disgrace to the game... Gaborik could at least hit the net from 5 feet away

 @slapshot13j yep, don't even trade them.  put em on waivers.  send them to the glue factory.

@cb1 @slapshot13j they're going to need some letter writing spiders over their lockers to save them. Some Pig.

We are collapsing WAY too far in our zone yet still leaving huge holes!

This game was lost by John tortorella... Why the hell would you put Richards on the first line for Stepan... Moron. Ruins the chemistry every single night...

Dead for the last 10 minutes they don't deserve to win this game. Can't win with one line...
