1. I still think that when sens drafted Brian Lee they thought it was Brian Leetch

2. The big question… since we have Ullmark for the year, why couldnt manangement wait a few months before extending him? For sure, right now, no way Ullmark gets a 4 year extension at 8.3mil a year. He had his day in the sun, he is older and slower and he will not be getting any better. Just a bad contract extension. Players will follow the lead of the goalie, goalie start the game great, they get encouraged and give their best effort. Not happening for us right now.

3. You're under .500. It's nothing but a bad thing.

4. Speaking of "the Palladium" I hate the nonsense of renaming buildings. Imagine renaming the empire state building? Why not give it a name and tack on which ever sponsor onto it. Like the Canadian tire palladium or the scotiabank palladium…

5. I am not nearly as concerned about this team as many are. We are keeping afloat and have been playing very well up until 3 games ago. If we can get back to our game and Ullmark can find his, we will be in a good position. Crazy how up and down this fanbase is

6. On the November schedule. There are 14 games. Anything less than 8 wins is not a winning record. 7 wins is the minimum. Loser points are just bonus, but they aren’t wins. We need to win more than 50% of our games. The Sens NEED to win the next 5 or November is a loser month.

7. Dear coach,

   Brady Stutz Giroux
   Perron Norris Bath
   Greig Pinto Gaudette
   Cousins Amadio Macewan

   D:
   Yakemchuck … call him up!

8. We're under .500 again in November.. there's a lot of season left, but, if they dont get at least 4 points out of the next 3 games at home we will be playing catchup all season, they will need to rely on other teams ahead in the standings to play poorly for long stretches on top of posting positive a record for the rest of the season to even have a chance at a wildcard spot

9. Brady has a lot more skills then his brother, but lacks his brother passion, grit, and leadership. Maybe we should think of a trade? Love Brady as a player, but has a leader it is not working out. He wants to win the cup but ain't acting as the leader game in game out.

10. I think they a new captain nothing against Brady but he just not experienced enough with these guys they would all listen if G spoke.

11. I wasn't a fan of his presser at all. Like you guys said, I'm done with talk and patience and good efforts. Its time for wins and if they can't do it again then it's time to shake up the core.

12. Vegas getting shutout by the leafs – we are definitely losing tomorrow. This script writes itself.

13. Of course Vegas gets shut out against Toronto

14. Same as my Chris Neil jersey. I got it signed at an event for his jersey retirement night. His is the only signature on the 25.

15. Need more from Pinto, Sanderson, Brady and Ullmark to get this turned around. Perron has been back a few games now, need something from him as well. I believe the pieces are in place, they just need to play better. Staios bent but didn't break in that presser. The season will be decided between Nov 25th and Dec 19th. Starts and Ends with Calgary. A long stretch of winnable games in which we can win 9 of 12 and get on a roll.

16. I'm sick of the wishy washy excuses. The defence is playing worse than beer league for the seventh straight season. This lovey dovey bull crap handling of the team isn't working it's time for these guys to man up or take a seat. The D pairing is not up to snuff in the NHL. Staois I hope you read this. I've never seen a defense squad who spends 99% of their time with one hand on the stick trying to poke pucks away. Tighten your gaps and take the body… This is D division beer league bull crap…
