–The Ottawa Sun‘s Aedan Helmer writes about last night’s game (link) including the following from Paul MacLean, “I thought we played real well. I thought we were in control of the game for the most part. But again, the lack of efficiency and execution in our own zone led to great opportunities for them. We turned the puck over (numerous) times and those are things that are going to come back to haunt you.”

–The Ottawa Sun‘s Don Brennan (link) actually hit the nail on the head when he writes, “It was obvious that David Rundblad was trying to do too much in his first game back after two in the pressbox.”  Brennan also includes this from Paul MacLean, “I thought Brian [Lee] played fine for us in the two (weekend) games. But at this point in time, David Rundblad is a better player.”

–The Ottawa Citizen‘s Wayne Scalan looks at Jason Spezza‘s faceoff prowess (link), with Spezzasaying, “Everybody that’s good cheats. Look at the top of the  (faceoff) list, those are the 10 best cheaters in the league. It’s changed a little bit from when I first came in. Some of  those old linesmen, they didn’t give you much of a chance. With a lot of the younger linesmen coming in, it’s a little more of a fair fight.  A lot of it is a respect thing. You have to respect the linesman, recognize that occasionally he’s going to drop the puck wrong, and maybe the  guy’s going to get away with cheating — but if you snap on the guy right away, after a guy cheats on you once, you’re not going to get much respect from the linesman.  A lot of times you tie up and it’s the winger who wins the faceoff. Both my  guys are real good.”

–Sportsnet‘s Ian Mendes speculates on Twitter that Alfredsson will be in the lineup next game (link)

-Joy Lindsay’s has post-game comments from Kurt Kleinendorst up (link), where the affable coach sounds frustrated: “We weren’t very good. We get outshot every night, so it’s not just … it’s frustrating, for sure, but I don’t know if I would call it alarming. It’s certainly a trend. We’re 14 games in now, and generally speaking, that’s the way the shot clock looks at the end of the night. They’re a good team, and this is a tough building to play in. For whatever reason, we walk in here, and we don’t play our best hockey in here. We never have. I don’t know what it is. I don’t know why it is. But it is what it is. We just seem to come in here, and we just underperform.”

-Joy also reports that Bobby Raymond has been recalled (link)

-Rob Brodie, writing for the Sens website, has a profile of Mark Borowiecki posted (link).  Kurt Kleinendorst said, “(Borowiecki) and Conboy have been our two steadiest defencemen, without a doubt. And so with that, we match him up against the other team’s top lines … I never thought we were going to have to use him that way but you know what, it’s been a blessing for him. More than likely, if we weren’t made up the way were made up, I probably wouldn’t have put him in that position. But we didn’t have that choice and I’ll tell you, I have to give him a lot of credit. He’s stepped right up and he’s been really good.”

I was at last night’s 3-2 loss to the Rangers, a game Ottawa largely dominated.  Once again, turnovers were the team’s achilles heel (Paul Maclean said the team had 23 in the post-game), although it’s too their credit that they could have won the game regardless.  For the box score go here link.  A look at the goals:
1. Michalek (Spezza, Karlsson)
A great pass to Michalek who scored from the slot
2. Rangers, Gaborik
Gonchar tries to backhand the puck up the boards and gives it away leading to an easy goal for Gaborik
3. Rangers, Stepan
Rundblad couldn’t make up his mind behind the net and then shanked a backhand pass to Phillips that was intercepted and resulted in an easy goal
4. Rangers, Gaborik
Greening, who was covering the point for Cowen, makes an ill-advised pinch which leads to a 2-on-1.  Rundblad gives Anderson the shooter, but for some reason Anderson makes himself right into his net giving Gaborik a ton of room on the short side
5. Foligno (Da Costa, Butler)
Da Costa makes a great pass leaving Foligno all alone in front and he makes no mistake

Top performers:
Milan Michalek – he scored, lead the team in scoring chances, and was a dominant player
Filip Kuba – he wasn’t flashy, but did his job defensively

Players who struggled:
David Rundblad – hadn’t played in more than a week and it showed; he was tentative with the puck (something Paul MacLean mentioned) and I think it’s a reflection of his time away from the rink
Chris Phillips – wound up tied with Rundblad in the turnover department and a veteran like him just can’t do that

Other comments: Craig Anderson played well, but let in a soft goal and with this team he just can’t do that.

The Binghamton Senators lost their fifth game in a row 3-0 to the mighty Hershey Bears.  I did not see the game so I’m reliant on reports about it.  For the box score go here link and Joy Lindsay’s game summary go here link.  Binghamton was outshot 35-15 and from all reports did not play very well.

The Elmira Jackals won 3-2, with Gratchev getting an assist and Stewart earning the win.  Bobby Raymond‘s Everblades also won, with the blueliner earning two assists.

–The Ottawa Sun‘s Bruce Garrioch adds his voice to those in the local media beating the drum for retribution against the Rangers after the Wolski hit on Alfredsson (link)

-In The Ottawa Sun‘s “Digital Faceoff” (link) Garrioch wants to throw the rebuild out the window to make the playoffs, “Perhaps you guys will remember the interview with Eugene Melnyk before the season where he said if Bryan wanted to bulk up at the deadline for playoff help, he would do it. Who wants to finish out of the playoffs? I can tell you the fans here would be OK with sidelining all the rebuild stuff if this team has a shot at the post-season.”

-In another Garrioch article (link) he includes a good quote from Paul MacLean about the play of the team’s veteran blueliners, “I think he’s just trying to be Chris Phillips and not trying to be Chris Phillips and David Rundblad, Chris Phillips and Jared Cowen. Filip (Kuba), Sergei (Gonchar) and (Phillips) were maybe trying to do too much at the beginning of the year with the partners they had, but they’ve settled in and just been themselves.”

–The Ottawa Citizen‘s Wayne Scanlan writes about goaltending around the NHL (link) and includes some interesting comments from Craig Anderson, “[Back-ups] usually they get thrown in when the team’s down 3-0 halfway through the first, they end up playing 50 minutes and have a shutout, right? Having 25 saves on the night – looks really good on their stats. Then the next game he gives up one or two, and suddenly he’s only given up two goals in nearly two games, and 50 shots later he’s got a great save percentage.”

–The Ottawa Citizen‘s Ken Warren writes about Filip Kuba‘s early season performance (link), with the big blueliner saying, “Coming back wasn’t easy. I just wasn’t  there. After my back surgery and then I (rehabilitated) all summer, and then the  leg and everything and I missed a lot of time. I wasn’t up to speed with the  game. It took me more than I thought it would to get back. I think we had a  pretty good couple of months at the end of the season and felt better, I thought  at that point, I was playing the way I wanted to play.”

-Rob Brodie writes about Zack Smith‘s early season success (link), with Smith saying, “I’ve got a lot more confidence, especially after playing in Binghamton in the playoffs last year. I got to play a more offensive role and I’ve come up here and it feels like the coach has more confidence in me. Our line has created chances 5-on-5, and me and Condra have been able to create chances shorthanded.”

-Joy Lindsay writes about Nikita Filatov‘s return to Binghamton (link), with Filatov saying, “Yeah, I kind of expected it. Especially when I figured out I’m gonna play … I started to play like five, six minutes per game, I just kind of understood, it’s not my role there. So, basically, probably, they think I’m not ready yet to try for more. I played not much there, but anyway it was good experience, and I was there, so now just here again, so just gonna keep working.” And “I just was trying to focus more on the defensive. I’m pretty happy with the way it went.” And “I kind of helped them last time, and it’s fun. It’s a pleasure to help these guys. It’s a good group of guys, great coach, so I’m just going to try to do everything I can, and the biggest part will hopefully be getting goals.”  Kleinendorst said, “I think for sure (it’s good for him to be back). He wouldn’t be here (if it wasn’t). It’s all of us working together. That’s the one thing Paul has been real good about. When the guys get sent down, there’s dialogue, there’s a conversation just so we’re all on the same page. I think that Nikita knows that we’re all behind him, we’re all pulling for him, and this is all for his development. This is not punishment. This is for us as an organization to try to create something that we know is there. With Filly, it’s nothing more than he has to be competitive every night and he’s got to be good without the puck. Once he gets those two things, we know what his skill set is.”

-Joy Lindsay has posted quotes from Mark Borowiecki and Robin Lehner (link), with the former saying, “We’re not playing bad hockey; it’s just one mistake here and there. They’re usually mentally errors. It’s not because we’re not working. It’s not because we’re not trying. We’re all working our hardest. It’s just we have to work smarter, and it starts with focus between the ears.”  Lehner adds, “Everywhere on the ice, we have stuff that we can do better, including me. It’s still pretty early. We have to try to start finishing now, and take some wins.”

–The Ottawa Sun‘s Bruce Garrioch writes about the struggles of Bobby Butler (link), with Butler saying, “I’ve just got to keep playing and hope that one goes in. Once one goes in, the confidence will come back right away. Until then, I’ve just got to keep working hard and making things happen. Hopefully, I can just help the team win whatever way I can help. Last year, I went through a couple of these droughts. You learn every time to get through them and try to go back to the basics. It comes and goes. If you’re hot, you’re hot.”

-In the same article Garrioch can’t resist taking a shot at Nikita Filatov, “the club needs to get more effort if he’s going to be a full-time NHL player.”  Garrioch’s comment is followed by Paul MacLean echoing what I’ve been saying about Filatov, “Nikita worked really hard and he’s a star in the AHL. It’s good for him and a great place for him to get confidence. When I talked to him (before he left), I told him I want that player here in Ottawa, but right now we’re not getting that player. When he comes up here, he gets a little bit tight and tentative and doesn’t do as much creatively with the puck.”

–Daniel Alfredsson is symptom free and skating again; there’s no time table for his return

–Hockey Futures‘ Chris Roberts writes about Sens prospect Jean-Gabriel Pageau (link), which includes the following, “‘There’s a big difference between NHL shot and junior. So I work a lot on my shot’, said Pageau, explaining that was one of the things the Senators brass told him to work on following his brief stint with the team during training camp.”

–The Silver Seven‘s Darren M writes about Zack Smith (link), but what I enjoyed most about his article is reminded us how well Don Brennan assesses draft picks (link) when he dismissed Erik Karlsson, “Karlsson won’t play in the NHL for a year or two or three, if he ever does. Real tough to get excited about him now.”

–The Hockey News, ESPN, and TSN’s power rankings are out, with the Sens 22nd, 20th, and 24th.

–The Ottawa Sun‘s Bruce Garrioch writes that Phoenix won’t trade Kyle Turris (link), believing Phoenix GM Don Maloney when he says as much.

–Georges Laraque is promoting his autobiography and talks about the use of performance enhancing drugs in the NHL (link).  A few quotes from the article, “Even more than steroids, some other drugs would really make fighting even more dangerous for the clean ones like me. Substances like ephedrine, for instance, totally desensitize the player who takes them. Before a game, as I would warm up on the ice, I would always look at the tough guy on the other side. If his arms were trembling, if his eyes were bulging, I knew for sure he wasn’t going to feel any of the punches I would give him. Totally anaesthetized, his face sweating despite the thick film of Vaseline he’d covered his face with, I knew the guy would be able to take a lot more hits than his fair share.” And “First, you just have to notice how some talented players will experience an efficiency loss as well as a weight loss every four years, those years being the ones where the Winter Olympics are held. In the following season they make a strong comeback; they manage a mysterious return to form.”

–The Silver Seven‘s Mark Parisi assesses player performances over the last week (link).  I agree with a lot of Parisi’s assessments, although I don’t think Colin Greening struggled, that Sergei Gonchar‘s lack of points the past three games indicates poor performance; I have no idea what Brian Lee did to impress in the Buffalo game, and Nikita Filatov doesn’t appear in his list.

–The Silver Seven‘s Dave Young talks about the limitations of Nick Foligno (link), something I pointed out in my profile of him this summer (link).  He’s a 30-35 point player who is strong along the boards, hangs on to the puck too much, and is weak defensively.

–SenShot‘s Jared Crozier wonders if the Sens are showcasing Brian Lee (link), which is a reasonable assumption, but I’ll take Paul MacLean at his word that he thought Rundblad needed a rest and Lee deserved to play

-Joy Lindsay Tweets that Nikita Filatov has been re-assigned to Binghamton (link), which is welcome relief for the B-Sens (who were 0-3-1 since his recall and only scored 7 goals)

–Hockey Futures‘ Tony Piscotta has an excellent preview of the SM-Liiga’s season this year (link).  Ottawa doesn’t have any prospects in Finland at the moment, but it still makes for an interesting read.

-St. Louis coach Davis Payne is the first coach to be fired after compiling a 6-7-0 start.  I have no idea why management thinks Ken Hitchcock is the answer.

Ottawa lost it’s third game in a row tonight, but picked up a point nonetheless.  The Senators continued their winless streak when Brian Lee is in the lineup.  Despite taking the lead in the first period, Ottawa’s best period was the second.  They looked gassed in the third period and I think were fortunate to keep the point (they only managed three shots in the final frame).  For the box score go here link.  A look at the goals:
1. Michalek (Phillips, Anderson)
Walking straight through the defence Michalek puts the puck through Enroth in a great individual effort
2. Buffalo, Roy
Daugavins loses a puck battle along the boards and Roy makes a great tip in the slot
3. Buffalo, Leopold
Da Costa loses a puck battle behind the net and Lee can’t take away Leopold‘s stick for the tap-in
4. Condra (Smith)
Five-hole on a breakaway

Top performers:
Craig Anderson – despite giving up 3 goals on six shots in the shootout he let in no soft goals during the game and made some great saves
Erik Condra – scored a goal and was excellent defensively
Filip Kuba – had another strong all around game
Milan Michalek – scored a goal, lead the team in scoring chances, and played a 200-foot game

Players who struggled: I don’t think any player was particularly bad, although Brian Lee‘s primary contribution was (again) a defensive gaffe.  I thought Nikita Filatov‘s effort was good, but he looks tentative with the puck.  Perhaps barely playing night after night is affecting his confidence.

Binghamton  lost their fourth straight game, falling 2-1 in a shootout with Wilkes-Barre.  Robin Lehner took the loss, while Mike Hoffman scored the only goal.  I did not see the game so I’m reliant on reports about it.  For the box score go here link and for Joy Lindsay’s game summary go here link.

–The Ottawa Sun‘s Bruce Garrioch writes about last night’s game (link) and Paul MacLean blamed Bobby Butler for Erik Karlsson‘s giveaway, “No, it’s not Karlsson at all. The forward came back looking for the puck and then turned away.”

–The Ottawa Sun‘s Don Brennan reports that Stephane Da Costa, David Runblad, and Jared Cowen have been told to check out of their hotel and find places to live (link).  The Team 1200‘s Steve Lloyd tweeted the news about Cowen on October 22nd (as I mentioned link), so I’m not sure how Bryan Murray’s declaration today relates to what Lloyd heard.  Regardless, here’s what Murray said, “Means that if we send them down we have to cover their rent or mortgage. We’ve provided an opportunity for them to be considered regular players. It’s still up to them every day, like every player who can get traded or sent down. But right now, they should be a little relieved. They can move out of the hotel, get a place and get their lives under way. My belief in young players is they shouldn’t get worse. They’re all contributing to this hockey team and I think they’re going to be better in January than they are right now. That’s sort of what I’m telling them.” Da Costa said “There’s nothing to do (living) in the hotel.”

-James Gordon reports for Senators Extra that Ottawa’s lineup for tonight is not expected to change (link), which means Brian Lee will get another chance to impress

–The Ottawa Citizen‘s Wayne Scalan writes about the Senators penalty killing problems (link), which includes an interesting comment from Paul MacLean, “The penalty killing isn’t very good because a lot of the people we have doing it (Zack Smith, Erik Condra and Daugavins) are really learning how to do it in the NHL. If you’re killing off the first minute of the power play in the AHL, you’ve probably killed off the penalty because the second unit that comes out isn’t as good as the first. Here in the NHL, you have to kill the whole two minutes because the second power-play unit could be better than the first and it’s definitely better than the first unit in the American league. So all the things about penalty killing at this level, our guys are learning. And this is a hard league to learn in.”  As interesting that this is, I thought Craig Anderson made the key assessment of the problem, “The main thing, as with any team, is 200-foot clears. When you get the puck on your stick, the puck’s got to be out. So many times when you watch highlights of the power play/penalty kill, the guy has the puck on his stick, shoots it off the glass, the guy keeps the puck in and the puck ends up in the net. That’s pretty much the Achilles heel of any PK around the league.”

–Sports Illustrated‘s Michael Farber interviews Paul MacLean (link).  He talks about how much the change from Cory Clouston to Paul MacLean is, including Chris Phillips noting “that when players make mistakes now, they generally are corrected and return to the ice without a 10-minute benching.”  MacLean also talked about Erik Karlsson, “He can control a game from the back end really well, but I don’t think he can control it totally. As I told him, I’d like to play him 30  minutes a night, but we’ll only play him 14 if he’s playing 14 for us and 16 for them.”

-Joy Lindsay has her post-game comments posted (link), with Kurt Kleinendorst saying, “I didn’t like our first five. I really didn’t like our last five, which is a little unfortunate. First five, not everybody, but we had some guys that just, they weren’t ready to answer the bell. And they came out hard. And they got a couple goals around our crease, where they just outworked us and outmuscled us and outdetermined us, which is unfortunate. So they get two right off the hop, and then we’re playing catch-up all night. And then, the last five, for me a little disappointing — not that the effort wasn’t there, but that there was no execution. When the game was on the line, and we needed our guys to step up and show a little bit of poise and composure, it just, it wasn’t there. We were passing pucks we should have been shooting, and we were shooting pucks maybe that we should have been passing. But other than that, I think there were a lot of good things in that hockey game. Special teams — much better. Power play, Patty Cannone‘s group in particular, looked really well. The penalty killers did a great job. There’s some progress there. The result isn’t what we were looking for, without a doubt. We’re not here to play well and lose. But, having said that, we know this is a group that’s growing, and we still have a long way to grow.”

The Ottawa Senators lost a close game to Montreal tonight.  Montreal dominated the first period, but did all their damage in the second.  Ottawa worked hard for the come back, but simply could not produce the tying goal.  The box score is here link.  Here’s a look at the goals scored:
1. Montreal, Cole
Michalek fails to get the puck out and then neither he nor Kuba are able to get back in time to prevent the cross-ice pass
2. Montreal, Kostitsyn
Karlsson passes it to the wrong team in front of the net and the Habs score on a 2-on-0
3. Smith (Condra, Kuba)
Condra makes a fantastic pass through two checkers and Smith sneaks it past Price far side

Top-performers:
Zack Smith – scored a goal, was hard on the puck, and played well defensively
Erik Condra – as above minus the goal; lot’s of great, intelligent plays
Chris Neil – threw two huge hits and was his usual, abrasive self

Players who struggled:
Brian Lee – after missing seven straight games he was only noticeable for passing the puck to the wrong team in the slot
Erik Karlsson – he wasn’t awful, but he cost the team the winning goal on a terrible play

Binghamton fell 3-2 to Rochester.  I did not see the game so I’m reliant on reports about it.  The box score is here link, Joy Lindsay’s game summary is here link.  Pat Cannone and Francis Lessard scored while Robin Lehner took the loss.

The Elmira Jackals lost 4-3 to Trenton.  Maxim Gratchev had a goal and an assist.  Bobby Raymond had no points in the Florida Everblades victory over South Carolina.

-Here’s Ottawa’s projected lineup courtesy of The Ottawa Sun: Colin Greening-Jason Spezza-Milan Michalek, Nick Foligno-Stephane Da Costa-Bobby Butler, Erik Condra-Zack Smith-Chris Neil, Nikita Filatov-Jesse Winchester-Zenon Konopka; Chris Phillips-David Rundblad, Filip Kuba-Erik Karlsson, Sergei Gonchar-Jared Cowen.  The lineup was put together before Kaspars Daugavins was recalled (Garrioch has just Tweeted that Brian Lee will play tonight so that David Rundblad is a probable scratch).

–The Ottawa Sun‘s writes about Daniel Alfredsson dealing with his concussion (link), with the captain saying, “If I do too much at home with the kids, I get light-headed and a little dizzy. I’ve got to sit down for a bit and then I feel OK again. Until that’s gone, I’m not going to do anything physically.”

-Garrioch, in another article (link, echoed by Ken Warren in Senators Extra, link), wonders about payback on Wojtek Wolski, but Zenon Konopka downplays the possibility: “It’s different with Wolski. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. We’re playing New York next week and I can’t get myself in trouble by saying anything. I have been fined by the league before for comments.”

-Pat Hickey, writing for The Ottawa Citizen, looks at tonight’s game from a Montreal perspective (link).  Hickey includes frank analysis of Craig Anderson‘s play thus far, “Ottawa thought it had solved its perennial goaltending problems with the acquisition of Craig Anderson, but he has struggled. Anderson, who will start against the Canadiens, has been fortunate that Spezza and Milan Michalek are off to fast starts. They are the reason Anderson has a 6-3 record. If the Senators were counting on their goalies, they would be in trouble since their goaltending ranks last in the NHL. Anderson has a 3.80 goals-against average and an .880 save percentage. Alex Auld, who did a great job backing up  Carey Price in Montreal last season, checks in with a 4.88 GAA and an .830 save percentage.”

-For stats fans you might want to dig into the website Behind the Net, which has (among other things) statistics like the number of PIM’s per 60 minutes a player takes or draws (link).  Personally, the circumstance of a penalty taken (in which zone, what was the game situation (ie, tied, behind, etc), and so forth) would be more impactful, but the site looks like a great place to start mining for data.

-Joy Lindsay Tweet’s today’s Binghamton for tonight’s game against Rochester (with Louie Caporusso recalled from Elmira and Robin Lehner sent down from Ottawa–so Mike Radja and Brian Stewart have been sent down): Grant-Cannone-Petersson, Hoffman-O’Brien-Parrish, Cowick-Hamilton-Downing, Dziurzynski-Caporusso-Lessard

–Eric Gryba has joined the Binghamton Twitter horde (link)

-The Elmira Jackals play Trenton tonight;  Bobby Raymond‘s Florida Everblades are also in action (Raymond had no points in Florida’s loss on Wednesday)
