SmoothedShredder Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 11) Melnyk listening to Murray and then firing John Muckler.Foligno's next jump: Yeah, that goes hand in hand with my number one... but now, we got to stick with Murray as far as his Donovans, Stillmans, and Commodores are concerned, or we'll end up 'Nonis'ing' or Maple Leaf'ing our team... Nice pic... it's funny cause it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Yeah, Hamilton sucks pretty hard too... fugging grammer police...Thank god that's over. Out of respect for your pain and suffering, I won't point out that you spelled "grammar" incorrectly. Oooops. I guess I just did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 (edited) I take my hat off to Alfie, playing with a grade 3 torn MCL. The guy has more heart than the rest of the team combined.It can't be said enough. He is an amazing athlete.I'm gonna miss these boys.

Booche Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 If one cant applaud Alfie then they dont deserve to watch hockey and I am sure Sens fans would have loved to have seen him do something like this guy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Low Roller Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Alfie is a hero for coming back. The team just did not have it at all. If the regular season was but a week longer, they probably would not have even made the playoffs. I do think that Melnik will hit at least a partial reboot button, because he's threatened the team management previously about poor performance.In Ottawa's defence Pittsburgh is an incredible team, and I doubt that any team would have fared better.See you next year!P.S. PLEASE change your lame pyjama uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSloth Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I was just reading an article that basically stated that this year's exit was especially painful and I couldn't disagree more - this one hardly registered. Fuck, it was months in the making and the pain the was nicely distributed.Thanks for another year Sens - I'll be back for more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave-O Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 This season was especially painful from about November on.But the post-season? Entirely expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Anyone who didn’t realize by the end of December that this was exactly how this season was going to end was either blindly optimistic or hopelessly naïve. One thing is certain, those folks haven’t been watching very closely.We never got it back. This team lost everything, its confidence, its swagger, its resilience just before Christmas and we never got it back. It’s as simple as that. And everything The Bryan tried turned to shite. Fire the coach? Nope. Trade for Commodore and Stillman? Nope. Finally send Rayzor into the dark hole of obscurity he so richly deserved. Nope and nope. We can try and use Paddock, or injuries to key players or any number of bad breaks as ready made excuses, but that’s all they are. Excuses. The truth is they weren’t good enough. They didn’t skate hard enough. They didn't hit hard enough. They couldn't score, and they couldn't stop the other team from scoring. Despite all of the platitudes repeated over and over all season long, the same mistakes were made by the same people over and over again. And they were our supposed “starsâ€. Redden, Meszaros, Gerber, Emery… There will be time enough in the next few days to pick at the scab and come to grips with the question of how exactly a season that started so strong could come to this. But for now, we’ll have to settle for the obvious. A group of incredibly talented athletes started to play badly, and none of them thought to work hard enough to fix it. Worse, they didn’t seem to care enough to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Notice how not one player made any of the excuses that blogger did.That may be true but Eugene Melnyk was kind of lame to blame the season on injuries during his interview with Scott Oake last night.

badams Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Notice how not one player made any of the excuses that blogger did. Nor should they. If at all possible any excuses (valid or not) should be kept in the dressing room. No need to feed the media monster out there. That goes for any team.The Sens off season will be interesting. They are a good team and can rebound. They could also fall apart. In this day of age teams can have flashes of brilliance and then fade away. The Sens have been good for many years, they just need to right the ship a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking that was spoken out of high emotion or some alcohol After a few days / weeks cooler heads will prevail and the decision making processes will begin.
