Apparently the Send have signed Joe Coevo.

He demanded a trade out of Ottawa in his first tour here so I have no idea what this team is doing anymore.

the fuck is going on with this team.

I don't believe it though, only that dumbshit Brennan has reported it so far.

 

[Silexx]

If this is true, then clearly the only logical explanation is that Corvo hated Alfie and is now willing to come back now that Alfie is gone.

 

[KernelPanic]

Well we do need a RH puck mover to play behind EK, and Corvo was good in the run to the final.

I thought he hated all the media pressure here, they called him uh oh Corvo for all his giveaways.

 

[Cake Boss]

No way he gets top 4 minutes though, likely playing on the bottom pair with Philips.

Weirdcock and Gryba rotate on that 4th spot.

I give it 1 week before Corvo is scratched and he is at the pressbox.

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

Going by that pic of the Flyers with that porn star, they don't mind sloppy seconds, or thirds, or fourths....

You're missing the Avery/Cuthbert/Phaneuf angle here...

 

[Red_Man]

It will look even better when Subban's agent submits an 8 year/ $60 million offer.

Weird, I don't remember McDonagh winning a Norris or being the most dominant defensemen last season.

You're missing the Avery/Cuthbert/Phaneuf angle here...

I got it, just saying

 

[Cake Boss]

900k/1 year for Corvo.

Not bad, basically the same as Benoit but has produced more than Benoit and has played more minutes than him last season. decent option for the 2nd PP.

PPs
Weircioch- Karlsson
Cowen-Corvo

Ian Mendes ‏@ian_mendes 8m

True fact: The Ottawa Senators have made it to the Stanley Cup Final in every full season Joe Corvo has played with the team.

Aww yeah, Alfie. how does my ass taste?

Subban's still an RFA at the end of this current contract.

 

[Curufinwe]

Giroux was going to be an RFA at the end of his current contract.

Taste like you still aren't going to make the finals.

Well, there is a first time for everything!

Spoiler

Sens don't make the finals and Alfie gets his cup

 

[Foreign Jackass]

Giroux was going to be an RFA at the end of his current contract.

Why sign him to this stupendously crazy contract then? Just wait till the end of the contract and see if he's injured, less dominant or concussion-prone then. Especially if you're gonna pay him zillions anyway.

 

[Foreign Jackass]

They might not even make the playoffs. The Sens are a fringe team, even more so if you replace Alfie and Silfverberg with Bobby Ryan and Clarke McArthur.

The Flyers want him to be the face of the franchise. They are not going to fuck around and potentially piss him off. I wish we would have taken less though. His contract will hurt them down the line.

You shut your whore mouth! (As he huugs Leclair Philly bobblehead closely...)

Got to see them against Buffalo in 97 (admittedly, their one loss) as a kid.

First and only playoff game I've made it to, but it's the reason I'm a Flyers fan.

Ah yes, but they were no match for these guys:

Can't wait to see some of them back for the Winter Classic Alumni game.

Speaking of the Winter Classic, is HBO still doing the Winter Classic 24/7 thing for the Leafs/Red Wings?

 

[Spl1nter]

Yes. Pretty sure it's airing on sportsnet as well in Canada

 

[Quick]

I'm assuming so, since they already had a deal in place for it from last season before the lockout. They'll probably make an announcement just to remind people.

 

[Razorskin]

Looks like it.

The commissioner also announced that the popular HBO "24/7" series profiling the two teams would also return.

[Foreign Jackass]

So we'll get the Leafs on 24/7? That's the next best thing to having the Habs on there.

Scratch that, it's gonna be even better than that. Can't wait

 

[KingHenrik30]

Don't like that picture in the background...

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Kessel is going to be amazing on 24/7

 

[Curufinwe]

The Flyers want him to be the face of the franchise. They are not going to fuck around and potentially piss him off. I wish we would have taken less though. His contract will hurt them down the line.

Only he if gets hurt, or the cap doesn't go up as fast as it seems like it will.

 

[Curufinwe]

Should have been a picture of the guy he was traded for. What a fleecing.

Best would be to have Leafs AND Habs on 24/7.

 

[Samyy]

Best would be to have Leafs AND Habs on 24/7.

Subban would probably be pretty hilarious on 24/7

 

[SCHUEY F1]

:lol love that gif

 

[Foreign Jackass]

Subban would probably be pretty hilarious on 24/7

He would steal the show entirely. Yeah, Habs and Leafs on 24/7 should be kept for the final season of the show. Both teams sucking it up for weeks before a completely anti-climactic Winter Classic would be perfect.

 

[MetatronM]

Just saw the McDonagh signing. Good deal. Ideally would have liked to see it come in under 4.5, but 4.7 is still a great price for him.

McDonagh's deal also has a limited no trade clause on the back end of it.

Now for the others.

I'm looking forward to going and booing the shit outta Alfie.

For Cake Boss of course...

 

[KernelPanic]

ROFL that fringe team made the playoffs without its best players most of the year and beat the Habs in 5.

MacArthur replaces the numbers Alfie has been putting up and Ryan is a huge addition.

No idea how we are worse.

lol Habris.

 

[Samyy]

Sens are probably going to be the #2 team in the East with a healthy season....
They have all the pieces, #1 C, Norris quality D in Karlsson and A top 10 goalie, and decent scoring depth.
I think their coach has also proved hes pretty great

 

[Curufinwe]

The East will be brutal, but Ottawa should be a solid playoff team.

Some eastern teams (e.g. Washington and Philly) are going to feel pretty dumb for agreeing to the realignment if Columbus and Detroit both beat them out for a spot in the playoffs and all that extra revenue.

 

[Kave_Man]

So I guess here's the question:

What is Ottawa missing to be able to take that next step as one of the top teams in the league?

Health?

 

[gaming_noob]

As a Leaf fan, I actually prefer the Senators' lineup. Spezza, Ryan, Karlsson, Turris, Anderson... very good top end players.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

If Montreal's young players continue to progress and Price has good year I see no reason why we can't make the playoffs.

 

[Cake Boss]

So I guess here's the question:

What is Ottawa missing to be able to take that next step as one of the top teams in the league?

A top 4 veteran dman in his prime, could be a trade deadline acquisition.

The current forward lineup.

Conacher- Spezza- Ryan
MacArthur- Turris- Michalek
Smith- Zibenejad- Neil
Greening- Pageau- Condra
Hoffman

vs last year's

Silfverberg- Turris- Alfie
Latendresse- Zibenejad- Conacher
Greening-Smith- Neil
Kassian- Obrien- Condra

 

[Revenant]

Daniel Alfredssons intangibles

 

[Spl1nter]

Turris is not a top-end player. Completely average 2nd liner. Zibe is the real deal for them however.

 

[Cake Boss]

Not a top end, but a good 2nd line player. Should break out offensively now that he is playing behind Spezza and no longer facing the top competition every night.

 

[KernelPanic]

Turris is not a top-end player. Completely average 2nd liner.

9 points in 10 playoff including 2 playoff OT winners is average now?
