-The fact that the Sens have been losing bothers me less than how they’ve played.  The team has been pass-happy in the offensive zone and struggled to get out of their own zone (the classic Chris Phillips floater into the neutral zone comes to mind).  It’s pretty clear that Craig Anderson has slipped back into the mediocre form he displayed at the start of the season, but Paul MacLean has so little faith in Alex Auld that he’ll play Anderson anyway.  Bryan Murray would do well to move Auld if he can.  Another player who should be looking for a new address is Bobby Butler, but its a stretch that another team will bite given his salary/performance.  I thought Butler‘s pair of games on the top-line may have been a trade audition of sorts, but if so it failed miserably.  Jim O’Brien is one of several Binghamton Senators who are a better fit than Butler for the bottom of the Sens lineup (Jesse Winchester will have that role when he’s healthy).  I never thought I’d miss Brian Lee, but watching Matt Carkner lumber around the last six games has me missing the underwhelming #5.  Lee doesn’t excel in any particular area, but his ability to skate makes him a more useful depth player than Carkner.

–Brian Lee is still not ready to return to the lineup; Craig Anderson will start.

-Paul MacLean returned to the lines that were scoring a couple of weeks ago–Greening back on the first line, Condra on the second line, Foligno on the third line.

-Paul MacLean thinks the Sens funk can be traced to the all-star break, “I just think, right now, we thought we’d come out of the (all-star) break and hit the gas, and away we’d go. But it hasn’t happened that way. That’s just a quirk. Sometimes you’re playing good, sometimes you’re playing bad. Right now we’re not playing good. I think we’re getting better, but we have to go game by game, day by day, and try to get better.”  I thought the Sens were very engaged playing Boston, but were going through the motions against the Islanders and Leafs.

–Wayne Scanlan wishfully wants fans to behave themselves at games–I can’t believe he thinks that’s a realistic expectation.

–ESPN and TSN‘s power rankings are out, with Ottawa 16th and 13th

–Joy Lindsay Tweets Binghamton’s lines at practice: Klinkhammer-Locke-Downing, Hoffman-Da Costa-Parrish, Dziurzynski-Cannone-Petersson, Grant-Hamilton-Bartlett(Lessard).

-Sens prospect Matt Puempel has been out with a concussion since January 4th (after a hit to the head from Alex Gudbranson), but has begun light exercise (link).

–Jared Cowen summed up the Sens’ performance against the Leafs, “You get that many shots and you think about the second chances that we had. We just weren’t hungry around the net. It’s all over the ice where we’re not competing. We care a lot. We have to get back to practice and work on the little things. We just have to play with emotions, instead of going through the motions.”

–Jason Spezza made some interesting comments about the team’s recent woes, “You have to look at the season as a whole. We’re happy to be in this position and now we’ve got some important games down the stretch. We’ve put ourselves in a position to play some important games. Take a breath (Sunday) and come back to work on Monday.”  This is dangerously close to saying ‘we’re just happy to be here’.  I understand his appeal for calm, but I think there is a better way to talk about how the team has taken a step back.

-It’s not news to anyone, but I’m always bemused by how thin-skinned the local media is here in Ottawa.  Bruce Garrioch clearly isn’t enjoying the taste of humble pie he and his cohorts have been eating this season about Brian Elliott.  He’s right that Elliott had a bad season last year, but he knows full well that he and the Ottawa media played a part in getting him traded.

-Here are my thoughts on what will happen with Sens prospects who are potentially joining the organisation next season (the following are signed:  Silfverberg (will play pro), Zibanejad (ibid), Mark Stone (ibid), Noesen (can be returned to junior), Puempel (can be returned to junior); these players are graduating: Blood (NCAA), Wideman (NCAA), Culek (2010 draftee), Sorensen (2010 draftee), Kramer (last CHL year)).  My expectation is that both Noesen and Puempel will be returned to the OHL, Culek and Sorensen will be let go, and Blood, Wideman, and Kramer will wind up in Binghamton.  I believe Silfverberg will play all of next season in Ottawa, while Stone and Zibanejad will see some time in the AHL.

-Prospect updates (their position in team scoring is noted in brackets, defence compared to defence; I’ve also indicated if the player’s scoring position has change (with a + for up, – for down, and = for unchanged):

The organisation managed the trifecta tonight with all three teams losing.  The Senators didn’t show up for tonight’s contest against the Leafs (they had one scoring chance through the first thirty minutes) and deserved to lose tonight.  Players consistently took pointless, dumb penalties and the defensive coverage was lax.  Once again the blueline struggled with footspeed in the neutral and defensive zone and Craig Anderson couldn’t make a game-changing save.  Here’s the box score.  A look at the goals:
1. Toronto, Kessel
Carkner blocks the initial shot, but Kessel bangs in the rebound
2. Toronto, Phaneuf (pp)
Great one-timer
3. Toronto, Bozak
Nice pass through the seam catches Cowen and Gonchar flat-footed and Bozak scores on the mini-break
4. Toronto, Schenn
Alfredsson losses defensive position and Schenn beats Anderson with a simple wrist shot
5. Toronto, Franson (pp)
A great passing play through the box as the Sens can’t close down the passing lanes

There were no top-performers tonight, although Jim O’Brien and Kaspars Daugavins played hard.  The entire team struggled to the point where it’s difficult to single players out, but Zenon Konopka can’t keep taking dumb penalties.

Robin Lehner lost his first start since January 20th in a 5-2 decision.  Jack Downing and David Dziurzynski scored the goals.  Here’s the box score (once again there is no game summary from Joy Lindsay).

Elmira lost 2-1 in regulation, Brian Stewart taking the loss with Corey Cowick held pointless and Louie Caporusso not dressed.

–Ian Mendes Tweets that no lineup changes are expected for the Sens, which if correct means Bobby Butler will sit again for Jim O’Brien

-One of the issues the Sens have been having during their losing streak is an inability to handle speed by their defensemen.  The older players, particularly Matt Carkner, just don’t move well enough.  I doubt the Sens will do anything to change that this season, but it will be interesting to see what the organisation does in the off-season (in Carkner‘s case, with the death of the heavy weight in the league, you’d have to think this year is his swan song).

–Zack Smith summed up the Sens problems last night, “I don’t think we executed the way we wanted. We tried being a little too cute at times. We didn’t get pucks to the net and didn’t challenge their ‘D’ enough entering the zone.”

-The lack of intensity by the Sens last night followed a hard practice from MacLean, which if nothing else illustrates how meaningless that approach is with this team.

–The Hockey News‘ Ken Campbell writes about Bryan Murray’s pre-deadline conundrum, “Murray is a GM who is more betwixt and between than perhaps any other. That’s kind of a good thing, considering the Senators were viewed by almost everyone as bottom feeders in the Eastern Conference this season, and here we are with roughly two months to go and the Senators are sixth in the conference. On one hand, they’ve played more games than everyone else and those games will be made up at some point. But on the other, teams such as the Washington Capitals, Winnipeg Jets and Tampa Bay Lightning have spent the season throwing away their chances of making the playoffs. So what’s Murray to do? Does he go out and make a trade for an impact player such as impending unrestricted free agent Tuomo Ruutu of the Carolina Hurricanes or does he stick to the rebuild philosophy and hope that’s enough to get his team into the playoffs this season? If they do make it, are the Senators a team that could make a little noise and go on a run or are they first-round road kill?  Murray has made it clear, however, that top prospects such as Mika Zibanejad, Mark Stone, Matt Puempel and Jakob Silfverberg are off limits. ‘We have one or two young guys in our system that we might be willing to trade,’ he said. ‘But there is no way we’re going to be trading that kind of asset.’ What is certain is the Senators appear to be on the right path for a long-term rebuild regardless of whether they end up on the north or south side of the Eastern Conference this season. They have served notice that they are much better than everyone thought they would be and that their route back to contender status is going to be much less circuitous than first projected. And Murray knows it doesn’t make a lot of sense to mess with that.”

–Hockey’s Future‘s D. J. Powers’ College Notebook includes this about Ottawa prospect Max McCormick, “It was a January to remember for Ohio State freshman Max McCormick, after posting seven points (five goals, two assists) in eight games during the month. The highlight was his first career hat trick on January 28th versus Lake Superior State. McCormick had a good start to his rookie campaign before suffering an injury that forced him to miss eight games in late October/early November. To date, McCormick has appeared in 19 games, posting 14 points (seven goals, seven assists).“

Ottawa lost in overtime to the Islanders tonight in a game that lacked intensity and pace.  The Sens were lifeless in the first period and were only marginally better the rest of the game.  Defensive breakdowns cost them (they did not have to pay for a pair of dumb penalties that they took).  Thankfully the officials were not a story tonight.  It was Jim O’Brien‘s first NHL game of this season and he was solid in limited ice time .  Here is the  box score.  A look at the goals:
1. Smith (Condra, Gonchar) (sh)
Smith keeps on a 2-on-1 and Nabokov flubs the save
2. NYI, Martin
Cowen mis-reads the rush and leaves Martin wide open for a one-timer
3. NYI, Eaton
Foligno is lazy on the backcheck and leaves Eaton wide open who has an open net after Anderson over-commits to Jurcina

Top-performers:
Erik Condra – excellent in all zones
Erik Karlsson – he wasn’t perfect, but definitely the most active blueliner

Players Who Struggled:
Matt Carkner – his lack of footspeed is telling, but turnovers were the main problem (along with a dumb penalty)
Chris Phillips – lead the team in turnovers, making mental errors in his own zone

Binghamton also lost in overtime tonight, with Mike Hoffman and Jack Downing scoring the goals (Hoffman had two points).  Here’s the box score (there is no game summary from Joy Lindsay).

Elmira lost 4-3 in a shootout, Corey Cowick scored, Brian Stewart dressed as a back-up, and Louie Caporusso did not dress.

-As a sign of desperate times Paul MacLean is experimenting with Alfredsson on the point on the powerplay–I don’t think he has the foot speed to do that anymore (link)

–The Silver Seven‘s Adnan wonders if the Sens should call up Robin Lehner, and while I agree with him that Lehner would have better numbers in the NHL, he’s not fully healthy and I don’t think the Sens would consider it until he’s played a few games in Binghamton

–Don Brennan writes about Jason Spezza‘s point drought and Milan Michalek‘s goalless streak, but doesn’t put his finger on the real issue: rotating linemates and the failed Bobby Butler experiment.  I like Colin Greening on the line as a defensive safety net, but think the move to put Erik Condra there provides something similar.

–ESPN and The Hockey News‘ power rankings have Ottawa 12th and 13th

–Mike McKenna is expected to start for Binghamton, but as yet the lineup for tonight has not been posted

–Corey Cowick has been re-assigned to Elmira; Cowick, who was off to a better start this season, is on a nine-game pointless streak.

–Hockey’s Future‘s staff writes about the hot/cold prospect through January, singling out Andre Petersson, “Since his return [from injury] in early January, Petersson has been one of the most dominant players in the AHL, a feat all the more extraordinary considering the middling season the Baby Sens are having. Through eight January games played, Petersson managed eight goals and seven assists, more than doubling his point total on the season. His numbers could have even been greater if he had not made his NHL debut on January 21st, skating five minutes in place of a banged-up Bobby Butler“, and Shane Prince, “Snubbed by USA Hockey to represent his country in the U20 WJCs, Shane Prince took whatever anger or frustration he felt and put together one of the most prolific stretches of hockey in his young career.  On December 28th, shortly after Team USA finished getting drubbed by upstart Finland, 4-1, Prince began a torrid offensive pace that would see him produce 14 goals and 13 assists over the next 14 games. He would do it with authority too, managing seven multipoint games and being held off the scoresheet only once during the stretch. His pace would be the most prolific of any OHL player during the month of January, producing 10 goals and 11 assists in nine games dating from January 8th to the 29th. Why such a prolific offensive player would be left off the Team USA roster remains unclear, though there is ample speculation his absence from the roster was for political reasons, as he opted to play in Canadian Major Juniors rather than with USA Hockey.”  They also mention David Rundblad dominating in the AHL (6-3-4-7).

–Don Brennan believes the Sens have made themselves a target for officials, “Have the Senators been getting jammed by the referees ever since coach Paul MacLean told reporters O’Rourke declared Erik Karlsson guilty of embellishment? Yes. Is it a coincidence that there’s been controversial calls or non-calls favouring the opposition in each of their next three games, all losses? Not likely. Members of the officiating fraternity have each other’s back.”  The Sens themselves are dismissing the notion.  For an interesting look at the Boston game in particular check out Kerry Fraser‘s column (he argues the only missed call against Boston was Milan Lucic‘s boarding of Erik Condra).  Ken Warren says NHL director of officiating Terry Gregson spoke to both Paul MacLean and Dan O’Rourke following the Anaheim game.

–Joy Lindsay Tweets Binghamton’s lines at practice: Klinkhammer-Locke-Downing, Hoffman-Da Costa-O’Brien (Lessard), Dziurzynski-Cannone-Petersson, Cowick-Hamilton-Bartlett (Grant).  Mike McKenna is expected to start tomorrow.

-Joy also reports that Andre Petersson was named AHL rookie of the month; he had 15 points in 8 games.

-Elmira lost 4-1 last night, with Brian Stewart taking the loss; Louie Caporusso was not dressed (I assume he’s injured)

-I missed the CHL Top Prospects Game last night, with Team Orr beating Team Cherry 2-1.  Branden Troock, Griffin Reinhart, and Dillon Fournier scored the goals.  Troock and Matthew Murray were named players of the game.

-I’m not  a Sidney Crosby fan, but I’m praying for his recovery so news about his health will stop dominating the news cycle

–Daniel Alfredsson summed up last night’s effort, “We’ve got to be happy overall. They scored two power-play goals. I thought 5-on-5, we were the better team and it’s frustrating to lose this one. I don’t know how we don’t win it. (When we were ahead 3-1), we just couldn’t get that next goal really separating us from them.”

–Ian Mendes reminds us that the Sens have given up the first goal for the last eight straight games (3-5-0)

-With the approaching trade deadline many rumours (both serious and ridiculous) are floating around.  A few of the serious ones involve Jeff Carter (link), Marek Zidlicky (link), and Tuomo Ruutu (link).  As I’ve said previously (eg link) I don’t see the point in Ottawa acquiring a rental, particularly if this is typical of the crop of players available.  The Sens don’t have a realistic chance to make a deep run into the playoffs and are better off continuing the rebuild.

–Brian Stewart has been returned to Elmira
