He...<i>Filip Kuba still looking 'off' somehow</i><br /><br />He's been 'off' for quite a while now. It would be more surprising to see him turn back 'on'. I hope that he's still got enough left in the tank to put in a good showing this season, and that he can stay healthy. It would both help the Sens in the standings, and create value at the trade deadline.hambownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07105598249429771683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215652504344172254.post-13361060137440554872011-09-29T23:24:36.131-04:002011-09-29T23:24:36.131-04:00Anderson is key, and I agree with you in that he&#...Anderson is key, and I agree with you in that he's capable.<br /><br />I don't think our defense is soft. I think that the major shortcoming of this team is goal scoring. Everything else is just a distraction from this major shortcoming.<br /><br />If we have to struggle to score 2 goals a game, we aren't going to win too many, plain and simple. Anderson is not going to have a GAA of 1.00.<br /><br />Last year, we averaged under 2.5 goals per game and we allowed over 3 goals per game.<br /><br />I think that Anderson and our D will help our goals against, but I don't see where the scoring is going to come from; unless some guys really transform themselves, or we trade for someone.<br /><br />And, I also don't see any goal scoring help in the pipeline. Maybe Pumpel is that guy in three years? I think that it's crazy to bank on that.<br /><br />Alfie, Spezza, and Filatov are high-end guys, so maybe they get it done.<br /><br />Completely disagree with the Gallagher quote. Hitting will never disappear as long as it helps a team win a game.<br /><br />You think Jared Cowen is going to wake tomorrow and not hit someone. He cleanly took someone out today. He'll do it again. Guys who know how to hit wil keep on hitting, and they may even get paid more for it, because it'll be recognized as a real skill.<br /><br />Volchie, Fisher and guys who hit clean will thrive. The Matt Cookes of the world are in danger of losing their jobs because teams won't bother acquiring guys who are always suspended.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
