The problem was the officials basically went to him right away before he could get at him. Remember all the skates around poor Dean's head? The Sens didn't really have a chance to do much. Now, if you meant later in the game, then that's a different matter. <BR/><BR/>Normally, I'd agree with you (see last year's hit on Alfie by Bell -- that lack of reaction was disgusting).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215652504344172254.post-18021456282781865562008-10-05T22:29:00.000-04:002008-10-05T22:29:00.000-04:00Yea, youre right we are getting a little exited bu...Yea, youre right we are getting a little exited but i think its safe to say that the sens are going in this direction. I think the reason the pizza line played so much is because the sens have such a long time off until the next game. I suspect that hartsburg will try to split up the line as much during the reg. season tho. It was just important to put their best foot forward on this trip.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215652504344172254.post-29165899356454053532008-10-05T19:50:00.000-04:002008-10-05T19:50:00.000-04:00i agree with everything thats been said, however, ...i agree with everything thats been said, however, its early days so lets not get carried away yet. Also I get concerned when I look at the time the big line played, we dont need them getting burned out in february.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215652504344172254.post-78311131246971252862008-10-05T18:50:00.000-04:002008-10-05T18:50:00.000-04:00It's basically the same system that bryan murray h...It's basically the same system that bryan murray has had in the past, only, like in the sens trip to the finals they are buying in. Interesting that hartsburg is choosing 2 man in instead of the 1 man in trap that has worked so well in the past. I think we will begin to see that last year wasnt reflective of personel problems on this team as much as it was just "personality problems" with an overall level of fatigue (stanley cup hangover) which only made things worse. Many people forget that alex auld jumped into a starting goaltending situation as a rookie in vancouver when cloutier got hurt and performed pretty well. No one has really given him a chance. He played very well for boston, but was overshadowed by the amazing play of thomas. This version of the sens should make life pretty easy on the goalies anywaysAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
