He's taking on all challengers and laying waste to them.<br /><br />Thank god we have him for 2 more years. What was it again that he brings to the table? Leadership? I guess in the "See that Erik, Dave, see that Cowie? That's what you're NOT supposed to do!

Murray's been talking about "character guys " since he took over after the sens had 13 wins in one playoff year, and in 4 seasons since has amassed a jaw-dropping 2 wins. None on home ice. For Murray and sens fans in general now, character is a synonym for "unskilled". But it doesn't have to be. It just is with the sens now because we only have 1-2 forwards who AREN'T "character guys". Thank god the sens snapped out of it to "piss of the scouts", if not, we might have been forced to add a "non-character guy". PHEW!!! That was a close one!!<br /><br />Praise BMil, architect of this masterpiece. He definitely deserves to be renewed, after all, who has done a worse job in the league in the past 4 years? <br /><br />pgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215652504344172254.post-39818532625754363892011-04-01T23:45:41.534-04:002011-04-01T23:45:41.534-04:00Good post Jeremy

Foligno has not been able to deliver as a top six forward, yet again, this time on a non-playoff team. Disappointing to say the least...<br /><br />If Murray does pull the trigger, and I hope he does, would L.A. consider moving Penner in the off-season? L.A. playoff run will only dictate the outcome. To get Penner, I do anticipate L.A. to demand more assets than just Foligno. Clearly, this team needs top-end forward talent to move forward. We have plenty of 3&4 liners. <br /><br />Neverthess, patience will be required as playoff bound teams become sellers in the off season because of salary-cap issues.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215652504344172254.post-65389010040286738792011-04-01T15:54:16.406-04:002011-04-01T15:54:16.406-04:00>One of the TEAM1200 morning guys disagreed sta...>One of the TEAM1200 morning guys disagreed stating that he becomes an RFA.<br /><br />That's correct. His age and the fact that he won't have played enough games after the end of next year means he will be a restricted free agent when his contract expires.hambownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07105598249429771683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215652504344172254.post-47547755283379673992011-04-01T14:53:42.546-04:002011-04-01T14:53:42.546-04:00Perhaps you can answer this for me:

Not a lot I'd wager.<br /><br />As for the top-6 forward, eff it. <br />Spezza is making his linemates produce. That tells me that you don't need to make any additions. If Spezza is producing 2-3 points a game now, why change a thing?<br /><br />If Spezza wanted a better linemate he just had to show it on the ice by not producing any points. =)<br /><br />Terry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215652504344172254.post-43779043037701794152011-04-01T13:32:24.794-04:002011-04-01T13:32:24.794-04:00I was disappointed Wick was not given better linem...I was disappointed Wick was not given better linemates when he was with the big club..
