44 Senators shots to 11 Penguins shots in 3-3 tie. Pens goalie Sebastien Caron made awesome save after awesome save. What amazing lateral motion from Caron. He was star #1, 2 and 3. Well he should have been. Sloppy sloppy play from Ottawa despite the high shot count. The Penguins must be the worst clutch hook and grab team IN THE WORLD. Awful awful game. Turkey me.

Was Lalime bad or the defense breaking down to often. I say this because 3 goals on 11 shots would indicate that he did not have a good game as I also did not see the game.

Lalime was not sharp at all - especially for the third Pen goal. I would almost rather see Prusek in there. Fisher is back and was playing on the PP late in the game.

At this point in the season , I would play Prusek as he played well when Lalime was out and got Ottawa out of their funk. They should play him as long as he plays well and see what the kid can do.

I think Martin is trying to show confidence in Lalime as they go into the new year. If they hope to do well in the playoffs, Lalime has to get back on his game. Second goal was due to Spezza not taking his man. Third goal was just brutal.

BE-LEAF-ABLE

Give them a break, what else do you expect a team like that to do? k:

Ottawa did not play a good game but they weren't too bad or sloppy as you suggest, the whole problem is as you describe (almost) was that the referrees were invisible and allowed Pens to play WWE on ice.

Uh hockeynut don't take this the wrong way... but I am not a paid sportswriter and I don't care how well I desribe the game or if it pleases you. There are very few Sens fans here and often if I write nothing then nothing is written - and then I have nowhere to comment. I would be thrilled if you wrote your most accurate game review and then I could just turn up and post my usual moronic comments. Okay? Peace. :]

Of course the PENS suck they have little talent and no consistent netminders and I wish lemieux would stop trying to get a new arena and get some talent on the tean instead.
A new arena will not make the team any better and I think the igloo is a unique arena 8)

Yeah, but its one of the oldest in the league.
AND without luxury boxes
AND originally built to house the Civic Light Opera.

A new barn will have luxury boxes, corporate seating which = more revenue.
More revenue = more money to buy good players.
More good players = more wins (except NYR).
More wins = more fans in the seats.
