Go Sens Go!

I guess most of you would agree that the goaltending is the key in the playoff. Looking back to those cup winners, none of them didn't have a great goalie. Belfour, Hasek, Roy, Brodeur and the list goes on and on. But of Sens, I think it could be an exception. Sens could still have touched the cup with a mediocre goaltender simply because its superior offence power. Sens scored the most goals in the regular season among all the NHL teams. But when playoff kicked off, they got shut-out 3 times and the goaltender sometimes even performed worse than AHL player. What's the problem with them? I believe it's the mentality issue. From the coach to the player, they don't have that kind of mindset as Leafs do. This directly translated into soft play in the games. What's the solution? It has to be a big sugery to the team. Martin has fulfilled his mission here, he has brought the Sens to today's height and won't be able to make it any better. Lalime should be gone as well as some core players. This club needs more fighting spirit than skills right now.

Martin's fore-cheking strategy is effective in regular season because other teams are not cheking as hard. However, it is proved once again inefficient under high intensity playoff games.
Jacque Martine has done a great job for Ottawa, Sens management team and fans have given him great trust and respect for the past 8 years. But now, I also believe it's time for him to leave, that seems to be the only way to end Ottawa's playoff drought. Unfortunitely Lalime will be blamed forever for ottawa's loss this year, despite his impressive performance during the season. Alfferson needs to go as well, ottawa needs a spirited fighter as captain. Having said that, I hope the management team will keep the talented young guys: Hossa, Havlet, spezza, scheffer, white...

Avas has always been my favorite team after ottawa ends its short playoff season. Go AVAs Go!

Comparing the players at every positon, Avas seems to have edge over Red Wings. But somehow Avas did produce as much as they were supposed to. That's why I said either Avas or Wings.

The Ottawa Senators will not do any better than last year if they don't get a better goalie. but probably they will lose the good players like Hossa and Havlat before they can get a goalie like Theodore. even the Flames' goalie is better than Lalime. Lalime wasted all the hard work by the team and he owes the team a season and probably two Stanley Cups.

Precisely, it's extremely difficult to win a battle if one constantly worrying that his goalie might yet allow another cheap goal. Theodore is RED HOT again this playoff season, he always performs when the team needed him the most. I guess there's a lot truth to the old saying "playoff is what seperates men from boys".

1993, the canadiens didn't have a good team, not as good as this Senators team, but they won the Cup, why? because of Patrick Roy. The Senators have been in the playoff for 6 years out of 11 years of the franchise, you think they don't have experiences?

Correct me if I am wrong, I remeber Habs had a strong team in 93, they had Damphusse, Sundin and Roy. Damphusse was superb that year. Almost as good as super mario.

Sundin was never a Habs, Damphousse was playing at Edmonton. 93 Habs had Roy, Mike Kean, Guy Carbonneau. A good solid team without super stars.

Thanks for pointing out, Sundin was the part I am not too sure, I think he was playing for the other quebec team at the time, was he playing for Nordic in 93? That's probably why I was mixed up. But I am pretty sure Damphousse was with Habs when they won the stanleys in 93, he was the super star for Habs.

Kirk Muller, Denis Savard, John LeClair,Eric Desjardine, Brian Bellow

WOW, all those guys were on the team that year.

I still remembered Jacque Demer called the referee to chekc Marty McSorley's stick, because it was longer than the standard stick.

Re: Patrick Lalime

这里真的有不少行家，老球迷。

说实话SENATORS主要还是栽在LEAFS上，这主要是心理原因，当然主要得怪SENATORS自己，不过我觉得我看的这几十场PLAY OFF 的ONTARIO BATTLE中，大约有1/4的场次里SENATORS的输球与裁判有一点关系。

至于LEAFS，我认为他甚至对FLYERS够不成威胁，他那些DIRTY的招数对SENATORS管用，对FLYERS根本没戏，FLER前6场肯定能消灭LEAFS。

SENATORS技术好，但拼抢不行，怕BODY CHECK，只要对方门将一出色心理就发慌，自己的门将又一直有问题，在PLAY OFF里很难走多远。

SENATORS的进攻可能是目前NHL最好的，但不稳定。防守还是太差了。这种差别主要是赛制的差别决定的。积分赛主要的要诀是吃掉所有的豆腐，防守差点不要紧。PLAY OFF 主要的要诀是自己先能守住，然后抓住关键的机会，起决定作用的是处理关键球的能力，这些SENATORS都还是二流的。

可惜了HOSSA，CHARA这样的好队员！！！

Flyers indeed did a great job solving Belfour, much much better than what Sens did. But I still think it's early to claim Leafs' exit in this series. Comparing with game 1, I think Leafs played much better and they actually created more scoring opportunities than Flyers. But it seems the hockey god was just not there with them. Did you see the glove save by Flyer's goalie in the final minute? It was pure luck, since he had no way to see the puck.

I would see Leafs even things up in Toronto. But honestly, I don't feel as confiedent as before for Leafs now. Just one thing for sure, the series will go into at least the 6th game.

LEAFS当然能赢一两场，但改变不了大局。我对FLYERS的那个胖子教练很有信心，觉得那个伙计很有计谋。

很多时候表面上看是运气，其实有心理问题。FLERS根本就不怕LEAFS，LEAFS那些歪招就没啥作用，但他们心理有点怕SENATORS，如果换SENS去打FLYERS，那还是SENS赢面大。

其实由于NEW JERSEY的衰落，SENS照实力讲应该是东部最强的队了（去年FLYER输了直后教练就表示了这个意思，说口服心服），难怪今年输了头头们气既败坏，立刻炒了教头。

个人感觉SENS今年的队伍管理有问题，要夺杯可能还得调整两三年。
