OPEN THREAD: Senators at Panthers

Ottawa Senators at Florida Panthers, Oct 28, 2009 7:30 PM EDT



Gladiatorsarena8102_medium 
 Whoops...need us a senator.

 

 Organa_medium

 That's better.

 

Senators vs Panthers coverage               Silver Seven              Senators vs Panthers preview      

Assuming the annual visit to Sens' owner Eugene Melnyk's central Florida horse farm has been completed, the Ottawa Senators should be ripe for a game, if only to ensure their manhood.

Here's the deal from Cats' Camp: Repik, McArdle are in. Booth, Dvorak are out, probably for a long while. Panthers fans were living on a prayer before? Better start worshipping planetary movements and their astrological meanings, for until this game is in the books, no one knows the direction Florida will pursue.

Take a moment to scope out Silver Seven, our friends on top of everything Ottawa Senators.

Gonna be covering this one from afar: about 40 miles or so north. Would love to hear from some of you priveleged folks actually in the building. Oh, and keep an eye on this dood's ice time:

 Thanks for coming out. Go Cats.

Poll
Guys who fall out of favor with Coach DeBoer typically don't last too long (see Nick Boynton and Wade Belak...perhaps Steve Eminger?). Is Ville Koistinen on the verge of a similar fate?

Hi all…watching FOX Sports Florida. Did anyone else know that the Panthers went to Finland?

by Donny Rivette on Oct 28, 2009 6:54 PM EDT reply actions  

Finland,. really? Is Cory Murphy from Kanata?

by sydarm on Oct 28, 2009 7:48 PM EDT reply actions  

Who's this Repik kid?

Wasn’t he on the team for a while last season? And pretty solid?

by Peter Raaymakers on Oct 28, 2009 8:03 PM EDT reply actions  

Coupla games last year. Leading Rochester in scoring so far in 09-10. Hell of an upside if he can maintain the pace

Surprised no one elected to remove Olesz’s head at the whistle. He was digging.

Hi CLG! Cheer em on!

by sydarm on Oct 28, 2009 8:14 PM EDT reply actions  

anyone have a feed??

by mjdivo on Oct 28, 2009 8:22 PM EDT reply actions  

atdhe and channelsurfing dont have any feeds running…

by mjdivo on Oct 28, 2009 8:23 PM EDT up reply actions  

if you have a ustream account, then yes.

by alterego6487 on Oct 28, 2009 8:32 PM EDT up reply actions  

there’s a ustream channel that broadcasts ALL sens games. so be it that we’re playing them, we’re on it tonight. we should arrange one of those for us somehow!

by alterego6487 on Oct 28, 2009 8:36 PM EDT up reply actions  

Game’s also on TSN2, which may or may not have an affect on the pirate feeds

by Donny Rivette on Oct 28, 2009 8:37 PM EDT up reply actions  

i wish there was a way to truly get across how frustrated this fan base is. at least me and you and all of us on here…buffalo made a billboard to get Dick Jauron fired, should we go that route? obviously not directed at PdB, but rather Cohen and everyone that is not named Sexton, let’s see what he can do with real management.

by alterego6487 on Oct 28, 2009 9:19 PM EDT reply actions  

Is the team for sale?

I understand not wanting to take on big contracts, but it’s got to be incredibly frustrating for fans. And it’s not like their payroll is low… it’s damn high. Tough to understand how such terrible personnel management just continues to be accepted.

by Peter Raaymakers on Oct 28, 2009 9:23 PM EDT up reply actions  

yes, but long story. the poor management isn’t accepted by those that follow this team, there’s just not enough of us. frustrated doesn’t begin to tell you, but i love the sport too much to just turn my back.

by alterego6487 on Oct 28, 2009 9:26 PM EDT up reply actions  

i can’t imagine it’s very full…Tim Hardaway’s number retirement at Heat Opening Night v. the hated Knicks is a much better draw. but ratings are up 300% on TV..baffling!!!

by alterego6487 on Oct 28, 2009 9:28 PM EDT up reply actions  

actually can’t see anything any more, feed gone

by alterego6487 on Oct 28, 2009 9:31 PM EDT up reply actions  

Was wondering about that 300% number as well…bizarre. Honeymoon’s over, in any case.

by Donny Rivette on Oct 28, 2009 9:32 PM EDT up reply actions  

a shame but im gonna have to admit maybe that’s what its going to take to get them to realize how fed up we are with this bull$#!T. or maybe that’s what will make them leave town?

by alterego6487 on Oct 28, 2009 9:34 PM EDT reply actions  

If I hear “Florida doesn’t deserve a hockey team” one more time….it’s the management/ownership that doesn’t deserve it.

by sydarm on Oct 28, 2009 9:48 PM EDT reply actions  

That’s the correct attitude. Couldn’t have said it better.

by Donny Rivette on Oct 28, 2009 9:49 PM EDT up reply actions  

i wish Cohen would just let go already

by alterego6487 on Oct 28, 2009 9:51 PM EDT up reply actions  

completely agree with you. if you win, they will come.

by alterego6487 on Oct 28, 2009 9:49 PM EDT reply actions  

i’m just utterly disappointed. i really thought we would be competitive AT LEAST.

by alterego6487 on Oct 28, 2009 9:56 PM EDT reply actions  

Koistenen 8 minutes on ice, McCardle and Repik less. 1 of 7 on the power play. ottawa was 1 for 1. ouch.

by alterego6487 on Oct 28, 2009 10:04 PM EDT reply actions  

10 game gut check time. Last season after 10, we had 9 points (.450). This year, after 10, we have 5 points (.250). So much for a good start. If there is any saving grace in this stat, it’s that last year games #’d 11-14 resulted in zero points. So, in theory we can stay even with last season by going 2-2 over the next 4 games. Go Cats!?
