Darren,
What do you think was Paul MacLean's logic putting Jakub Silfverberg in the Sens' lineup in their first-round series? He may have been a good player overseas, but had no playing time this year with the Sens or Baby Sens!
Chris,
Ottawa
A: Chris, no sense second-guessing now. Ottawa battled hard and pushed the top team in the East to the brink of elimination. Silfverberg was a standout player in both the Swedish Elite League's regular season and playoffs and Sens GM Bryan Murray says he worked hard to convince the young Swede to stay in Ottawa last fall, but Silfverberg wanted to return to his home country for one more year. MacLean was hoping for a little spark from Silfverberg. Why not throw something at the Rangers they probably weren't planning on or expecting? When you have injuries, or players playing hurt, which is the norm this time of year, confident and creative coaches will find ways to inject new blood into their lineup. It's easy to say now MacLean's decision to dress Silfverberg was sketchy, but given the fact he had made the team out of training camp and followed that up with a stellar year in the SEL, it was a risk worth taking.
